Lunch Cart was Held Up—Large Throng at D. A. R. Pageaat. Lively discussion is anticipated at the town mceting Tuesday night when the question of establishing a fire department here or renewing & contract with New Britain for the use of apparatus in an emergency comes up. There will be considerable discus- | sion of the fire question at the meet- {ng to be held Tuebday night at the erlin town hall. Many favor signing &e contract with New Britain, but there is a large percentage of voters who feel that & local department would he of much better use and wounld have many advantages. It is understeod that the Ameriean le- gion is working for a separate de- partment and that members are pre- pared to present figures at the meet- ing to show the saving that will be eftrcted in insurance rate: Many citizens claim that the fire last night was a good example of the work done by New Britain and that §¢ there was a department in Ber- lin. there would be no such cooper- i ation. The city firemen were handi- cupped by the lack of water and it was only by the experience in fight- fng fires that the house was saved. There is no water within about 2500 feet of the Carter property. This is also a question that was debated ‘n vn today. ‘n:l’!‘\‘l-'hlu, of the New Britain fire department stated today that auto- mobile drivers came close to dis- aster when they failed to observe the law giving the chief’s car the right of way. The department was forced to go much slower than usual on ac- | ecount of this and, as the chief. two fire commissioners and the chairman of the fire board were in the chief's car. the danger was brought clearly to their minds. George Carter stated today that he was very thankful for the help peo- ple at the fire gave in saving all that was possible. It was throngh their efforts that the few sheds that were saved did not burn and "ll!l im- peril. the house, before the arrival L4 the New Britain fire truck. Dudiak Dischrrged Theodore Dudjak, Jr., of New Britain, was discharged in court last night on a rebbery count as a result of the holdup of the Junch cart n Kensington on May 5.

Dennis Hae- gerty. who was robbed, identifiel Dudjak as the man who was in the holdup. but the force of the wit- nesses and the added word of the priest of the church caused Judge G. G.

It will be known as “Memo- rial Sunday” and the committee in charge of arrangements expects the church to be crowded to its doors. This affair is an annual oune in Plainville and has met with great success in past years. The services are very appropriate to Memorlal Day. All of the local patriotic or- ders combine together yearly to honor the heroes who lost their tives in the Civil, Spanish American and World Wai Danicl Emery, chairman of the committee In charge of ~ arrange- ments, requests the following or- ganizations to meet atthe M.

The addition of the new members brings the total membarship of the post to 82, the largest figure that the post has reached since its organiza- tion.

The { first step toward this end was taken {1ast week when Paige 8eaton of Tor- {rington, etate commander of the Le- {gien, was brought hore to address | the Legionnaires.

F READ ALRALD CLASSIFIED AP/ France, May 24 (UP)—8znorita Lili, ¢ BETHANY CHURCH | CONCERT PLEASES Large Audionce Enthusiastic Over Solo Artists and Chorus Walter ‘L. Magnuson, organist and chorus director, came to this city from Worcester, Mass., where he had played on big organs and had & record of being a musician of high ideals, ability and energy. He was brought to the Swedish Bethany church in this ecity. Last night he aponsored an annual spring concert, and the large audience which heard it had every reason to agree that ft was one ot the most artistic chureh musicales given here in a long time. Great Handel Numbers There whs a chorus of 40, and it sang nothing hackneyed; included in its offerings were two choruses from lLeen sung in this city for so long that scarcely anyone remembers it. There was Mrs. Carcline Barsch, violinist. & newcomer in the city, the wife of the minister of the Memorial Baptist church. Mrs. Barsch is no “ordinary violinist,” but one pos- sessing a technic and refinement of tone that merits for her the designa- tion of being a master of the in- strument. Others on the program in solo roles were Mrs. Eleanor E. Vahlstrom. soprano: Miss Florence €. Ostlund, contralto; Robert J. Klingberg. baritone, and George H. Johnsen, bass. The high water mark of choral ex- cellence came in the mighty Han- delian chorus, “let the Celestial Concerts Unite.” In this the voices blended with clarity and power. and the vigor and overwhelming effect that characterizes a great Handel chorus was evident all the way. Previously another Handel chorus, “Then ‘'Round About Thy Starry Throne,” with well sung subsidiary themes cffectively stressed, had provided glory for the singers. Two other choral numbers of distinction, by Dickinson and Noble, both dis-- tinguished American choral com- posers, were well received. In the former Mr. Klingherg sang the ob- ligato. Violinist Pleases Greatly Mrs. Barsch, also a newcomer in the® city, made two appearances, playing standard numbers in the vielin repertoire. These were from Wienlawski, Sarasatc, and Kreisler. Her projection’ of the “Gypsy Alra” by Sarasate was a feat of digital splendor. Her intonation was im- paccable; her tone scintillated in the brilliant cascades, and soared auave- ly during passages of pure mclody. Her interpretation of the famed “Tambourin Chinols” of Kreisler wes characterized by abundant vigor and technical fulfiiment. The city is fortunate indeed to be pri: leged to welcome another accom- plished violinist among its perform- ing talent. b A male chorus, recruited from the ranks of the mixed chorus, did nebly in three appearances, singing selections from Nevin, Grieg, Delius | and Dortniansky. None of the se- lections were of the frequently heard type. Griegx was represented with “Hail, Thoul Star Resplendent,” and “En skera stor toch stralande, in | which Mr. Johnson sang an obligato; that from Delius an ancient choral. Presentatioi of a song by Prince Gustaf was woll received. Mrs. Gahlstrom and Miss Ostlund contributed a du~t, the “Q from Ro: i’ Their voices blended Megauson. In addition te playing the organ and directing from the organ bench, likewisc played the plano during the vielin numbers. ARRESTED FOR SPEEDING !

Although no meetings have been held by the city planning commission during the past two months, it is un- derstood that an effort will be made in the development of future tracts of land for building purposes to have the developing realtors make the ne- cessary provision for caring for sur- face water. Just what steps will be taken to attain this end have not been definitely decided upon but it is possible that this angle will be given serious consideration before any newly developed strcets are cepted by the city. One situation which brought the matter forcibly to the attention of city officlals was the condition of Haig avenue. During the spring of the year and after a heavy rain, water has eettled on the north end of the street and it has been im- possible to use that section of the etreet for Vehicular traffic. Because of the low ground at this point, it was not oelieved feasible to run a pipe line to the small brooks which crosses the Moody tract on the south side of Fermington avenue and the only solution, as explained by the superintendent of public works and the street committee, to run a érain from Haig avenue across pri- vate property to Jerome avenue, & distance of several hundred yards. The cost of this work, it was point- | ed out at the iime, would be pro- hibitive and as yet no drainage fa- cilities have been provided. There are other newly developed streets in the city which present the same problem to city officials and befora the adverse corditions ure remedied, it will necessitate the ex- penditure of a considerable sum of money. Several new tracts are now being epened in the outlying sections of the city and the natter of drainage of surface witer will be given sericus conkidcration before the new stroets are taken over by the city for main- tenance, Letters and Numerals Awarded Twenty-two letters and twenty- scven numerals were awarded to | high echool athletes at an assembly Thursday afternoon, which was at- tended by the entire student body {numbering over 700, Franklin E.
