 Boy Scouts Leave.
 Theentire membership of Berlin Troop No. 1, Boy Scouts of America left this morning on the g o'clock trolley for New Britain under the leadership of Scoutmaster s. A. Fiske. The troop rode as far as White Oak, where they left the troll ley and started on a cross country hike through Pennington to Avon. Reaching there they pitched camp on the farm or F. F. Miller and made ready to pass the night in true Scout style. They prepared their own meael and each got his shake down" ready. After spending the night in camp, the members will re- turn tomorrow.
 Dancers, Too.
 Practically all the towns ex- nonents of the terpsichorean art took the 12:50 train for New Haven to- day. Since last fall, the girls of the Kensington Grammar school have been faithful worshippers at the shrine and SO perfected themselves in the art that they were chosen to represent the town at the annual convention of state aid school teachers, which was held in New Haven Normal school today. The twelve pupils were in charge of Miss Adele Bassett, principal of the school and Miss Adele Murray The dances are given to dem onstrate what is ac- com plished in that line by schools which receive state aid but do not have a special instructor for this branch. The pupils will return on the $40 train from New Haven. Old Letter Found. A letter mailed to this town in 1928 was found near the KcnsingtOn Grammar school yesterday afternoon and turned over to Postmaster w. w. Pagan.

The contents disclose the fact that MT. Wilcox had $2OO belonging to Mrs. Root, has sister, Flora, and her brother, Edwin. The writer says he does not wish to send it by the gov ernment for the charge would be one and One-half per cent of the total, which he considered exorbitant. He says friend of his, Alspah by name, intends to travel through this sec ton in a short time and he will bring the money to the owners. The edges of the paper are sealed with red wax which was used much in those days. On the whole, the appearance of the cpistle is very good.

Government Money Orders Too Expen- sive in the Days of 1S2S-New Con- I crete Road May Take All Summer { for ConstructiOn-FOre Meet.

All Is in readiness for the annual ball of the Berlin Sons of Veterans as- soeiation, which will be held in the Town hall this evening. The commit tee met last night and finished the dec orating and now the hall presents beautiful appearance. profusion of American flags on the walls, with a huge banner suspended from the cen ter of the ceiling has transformed the usual bleak looking room into scene of delight. The sale of tickets has been unusually large and it is estimat- ed that over 200 will be in attendance. Music will be furnished by the Phoenix orchestra, and Professor William Ritchie will officiate as prompter
 Elaborate preparations are being made for the Memorial day observance and it is planned to have a much larger celebration than usual. The various committees are working indus triously, and an effort will be made to have ex-Congressman Thomas L. Reil- 1y of Meriden for the principal speak, CT of the day. The expense will be greater than in former years and the ball tonight is expected to clear a sum which will cover the expenses. All kinds of dances will be on the program from the old-fashioned waltz to the latest modern gyrations. The commit tee feels as though this will be the big gest social event held in the town in many a year.
 To Use HaSSOn Pavement.
 It is now expected the new road on Worthington Ridge will consume the greater part of the summer in it's building. While the state highway department has awarded the contract for a concrete highway to the Peter SuZio company of Meriden and that concern is ready to start work IS soon as the trolley company lays it's new tracks, the trolley officials have decid- ed. to award their part of the contract to the Hasson Pavement company. This concern has Q patent process for manufacturing pavement, and the Suzio company will not be able to start until the former company finishes it's part.
 The trolley company mus pay for nine feet of pavement altogether, five feet within the rails and two feet on either side The work has been held up considerably by the shortage of labor, and it is now thought the road will not be completed until the latter part of the summer.

 Gets Favorable Decision.
 Selectman Johnson received notice yesterday afternoon that the petition of the Connecticut company for per mission to relay it's tracks on Whit ing street has been granted by the public utilities commission. A hear ing on the proposition was given seV- eral days ago and no objection was offered either by the town Or state.
 In connection with the change in rails the Connecticut company and the highway commissioner have de- cided to extend the amiesite pavement on Whiting street to the point where the cars turn onto the companys own property This work may not be done for several months and by the time things are in readiness to start on the improvement the voters may be asked to consider the plan of having the town enter into the scheme, malI- ing an appropriation sufficient to cov- CT the expense of having the pave ment extend from curb to curb.
