 To Take Action?
 It was rumored about town this morning, although the rumor could not be confirmed. that the county. health officer would be here today and take some action on the sewage sys- tenn which prevails in houses near the railroad bridge.
 Every morning drainage from an unknown source segregates in pools under the bridge causing a disgusting odor and citizens in the community have waxed indignant at the laxity of the officials.
 According to a. statement made a short time ago by Dr. GrisWold, health officer of the town of Berlin. the matter had been placed by him in the hands of the county health off, cer. Giving his statement credence the conditions existing have been known by the county official for over four weeks and a yet he has done nothing.
 Tt certainly is an intangible mess, one man blaming the other,' re- marked one citizen this morning. "The selectman can take no action unless assigned to by the local health officer, the local health officer is awaiting some action of the county health officer and the people of the town are awaiting the pleasure of the 1 last named individual" he continued Let Is Cooperate. A number of the residents of the town are wondering how many have 1 voluntarily enlisted in the service o1 l the military. Others are speculatins as to how many more local boys vii l be taken as members of Uncle Sam S 1 first draft army. A few far-sighte6 1 citizens have been asking if it would | not be a good plan to keep a list o1 1 those who go away.
 i For this reason the Herald will wage a campaign similar to the one ! being carried on in New Britain fol ! New Britain boys. But only with ! hearty cooperation of the public car 1 this plan be brought to a successful : conclusion.
 It is no more than fair that ar "honor rolr' be kept of those who have responded to the call of the colors. After the list is completed ii will be published.
 Therefore, if you have a son o1 ! kinsman or know some young mar who has volunteered his services ir one branch or another notify the 1 Berlin correspondent It would be i best if this was done in writing, givins the names of his parents, his age when and in what branch he en listed and his address. The above in formation could be sent to the Herald given to the Berlin reporter or lef at one of the post offices, either a Berlin or Kensington.
