 Superintendent Dows and the school faculty feel confident, the children will make an excellent showing and bring home some of the prizes. All will compete on an equal basis, espe- cially in the folk dancing, as the schools, which secure state aid, do not have special instructor in this branch.
 Play a Success.
 A large crowd attended the per- fornance of shaun Aroon" in parish hall, Kensington, last night and every- body came away satisfied they had seen a remarkably clever performance. The members of the cast .outdid the efforts of their first performance and the action of the play ran along smoothly. A local orchestra, composed of Dean and Miss Kathryn Minor, l.. Hall and Miss Minnie Gibbs furnished music prior to the play and between the acts, and their work compared fa- vorably with the evenings entertain ment. Afterward dancing was en- joyed until late hour, music being furnished by Judd's orchestra of New Britain. The play was given for the benefit of the street lighting fund and although the returns are not all in as yet it is expected a neat sum will be realized
 Brick Makers Busy.
 Despite the indictment weather of the past few days, the local brick yards are very busy. Labor, which is reported scarce in almost every line, has been secured in sufficient quantity and the work is going on rapidly. In some yards, over 50O,000 brick have been made already the only thing nec- essary now is the advent of warm days so the burning process may be started.
 Whist Postponed.
 The whist which was scheduled for Friday at the Peck Memorial library for the benefit of that institution has been postponed until next week. As the season of Lent is passed, the com- mittee felt a two evening affair will be the proper stunt and it was decided to have two nights of play on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. It is hoped a large crowd will turn out on both evenings, so a goodly sum will be re- ceived for the benefit of the institu- tion.
 Grange Carnival.
 The two night carnival of the Red Roses of the Berlin Grange will be opened this evening. An interesting entertainment consisting of piano and cello selections and sketch by Bur- ritt Grange of New Britain, will be given. Dancing will be enjoyed and the committee feels everyone present will have good time.
 That Rural Route.
 The agitation against the proposed change in the rural mali routes still keeps up and residents of the town are not slow to express their opinion. That no stone will be left unturned to have the order recalled is shown by the fact that Democratic National Committeeman Homer Cummings aid has been enlisted. Part of the work will fall on the rural carriers of New Britain and it is said a protest will be sen. frcm that city as 1t Is felt
