June's total will be larger than any preceding month.
 During the month of May Berlin's purchases amounted to $225.9S; Ken singtons, which was nearly double the amount of the others put together, was S1,247.50; East Berlin took $335.73 worth, and Beckley $35.S9. These figures are not far behind those of the past few months.
 Since the beginning of the sales the following amounts have been sub- scribed by the four sections: Berlin, S3,200.36; Beckley, $1S4.46: East Der lin, $1,450.73; Kensington, $4,7l0.04. Tn both post offices it has been notice able that a great number of these stamps and certificates are being pur chased by the school children In some of the grades of the schools records are kept of the number of stamps owned by each child, and this encour ages them to save their pennies for the purchase of stamps.
 Road Nearing Completion.
 Each day of work on the road to Berlin street has brought it toward completion with real speed. The resi- dents of Berlin street today were able to see what they had been looking for for the past five or six years-the workmen and machinery busily en- gagged in leveling out the road near Woodruff's corner. This road has been i'll such bad shape for years that many of the people of Berlin street going to New Britain in automobile have had to make a detour of several miles. The spiked roller finished the work of digging up this end of the of Ia the fine crushed stone will mean the end of the work. Part of the other end of the road has been finished en- tirely, and the road as far as the Der lin Fair Grounds has been opened for travel.

Recently there has been number of local regstrants called
