A family of seven persons barel? aped last night as a fire of un- origin totally destroved two-story residence of Frank West Peak road, caused a loss of 3 which was only partly covered by insurance. About 9:30 o’clock, when four of 1 five children were in bed on the main floor of the house, Mr. Bam- berger smelled smoke. Thinking that it might be the result of an over determine the Bamberger on and 000, Kensington, more than supply of wood in the stove, he in-| vestigated but, reassured that such was not the case, he joined his wife and daughter in the living room. As the smoke still continued he opened the door to the stairway leading to the upper story and saw that entire portion of the house in flames. He immediately closed the door and hastened to get the chil- dren out of the house and into the home of a ncighbor. By the time he returned the cn- tire home was in flames and, with the cxceptian of a few articles of furniture t were saved. its con- tents, including most of the Bam- hergers' clothing was lost. Neigh- hors gathered to assist but by the time they reached the fire there was little that could be done. Precau- tions were taken to save the barns and the garage and, due to the ef- forts of the neighbors. these attempts were successful, Only #1,- 400 of the loss is covered by in- surance, according to Mr. Bamber- ger. he house which is situated on a lonely road near the Meriden-Berlin town line, lies far beyond any ap- proach open to the New Britain or the Meriden fire department. Jiven though it were possible for the firc department to answer the alarm before the fire had gained any headway, the fire fighters would be seriously handicapped by the lack of running water. Due to a realization of this, the fire we not called. This was the third fire of the year and the first of any consequence within the past six months. Two weeks ago a garage and barn owned by I Thomas of Kensington was totally destroyed and this was pre- ceded by a small _ chimney fire in January at the home of John Jullan of Kensington. Berlin and Iast Berlin have been unusually fortu- nate recentl as no blazes have occurred in her of the two dis- tricts in more than six months. Motorist Hits and Runs A hit-and-run driver passed through Berlin last night, and as a csult Martin Ellison, 50, of Sche- nectady, Y.. is confined to the AMeriden General hospital with slight Iyuises of the body, possible frac- res, and severe lag a4 and face He was picked up at 9:30 o'clock ar the Meriden town line, by Charles Burnham of Berlin and taken to the Meriden institution, where treatment was given him. He yegained consciousness later in the ¥ men | ations of the | PEWTER — STRELT FLOOR evening and informed hospital au- | | thorities that he was walking along the Berlin turnpike toward Meriden last night when he was struck by a vehicle. He said that.he had com- pleted a job in Berlin and was pro- ceeding to Meriden to look for work. |He was unable to say what type of | vehicle struck him. Burnham, who was procceding to- ward Meriden, saw the prostrate form of the man by the roadside and picking him up, took him to the hospital. According to Burnham, al- though he was unable to shed any light on the accident, he thought that a car preceding him had struck the pedestrian. Meriden hospital authorities de- clared today that the injured man was not in a serious condition, as at {first reported. but that he had suf- fered from shcek and would be con- fined to the hospital for some time. Mrs. Ella M. Norton Dics Mrs. LZlla M. Norton of ¥arming- ton road, Kensington, a local resi dent for the past 51 ycars, died a her home Jast night following a short illness. Mrs. Norton was one of the Dbest known residents of Kensington and was a member of the Daughters of Rebekah and the Daughters of Liberty in New Britain. 8he was born in Cherryfield, Maine, in 1860, and came to Kensington in 187 Besides her husband, Frederick L Norton. she leaves two sons, George 1. Norton of New Britain and Wil- liam I3. Norton of Kensington. and one daughter, Mrs. Lzra Goodrich of Kensington. Funeral services, in charge of the B. C. Porter Sons of New Britai will be held tomorrow afternoon at 3 o’clock at her late home. Rev. Allan I.. Dodd of the Kensington Methodist church will officiate. Bur- jal will be made in l"airview ceme- tery, New Britain. Seek Night Oficer Duc to the two breaks Tuesday night in local stores, the Kensington grocers may petition local authori-| ties for police protection, at least | during the night. Within the past several months many breaks have been disclosed and the situation 1s alarming in the minds of many lo- cal grocers. Several have made known their intention of doing all they can to assuré themsclves of police protection when their stores are closed. Tt is claimed that the breaks Tuesday night might have heen prevented if an officer, hal heen patrolling the streets at that {time. Both of the looted rtores a | facing main thoroughfares and are |but a few paces from the line of traffic. According to information obtained yesterday the automobile that later turned out to be the on» used by the thieves in attempting to make their getaway was seen by several people who did not pay any tention to the antics of the three young men cngaged in getting their car out of 2 mud hole on Harding strect. An officer’s suspicions would have been aroused and an investiga- tion would have followed. The need for an officer on duty at all times lias been stressed in the past. At the present time all of the local constables are working and it is difficult to get in touch with any of them unless people know definitely where to call. If one were appointed to act as constable, ac- cording to comment this morning, and could be obtained at any time of the day, much of the present un- certainty would be eliminated.
