NEUROLOGY

WHEREAS, it has pleased the Su-
preme Ruler of the Universe to re
heve our brother and companion, Sir
Knight j. A. Bowen, from the ac-
tivites of this life, in which he
labored so conspicuously for the
cause of the Christian religion and
humanity.
And whereas, in the death of our
brother, Companion, and Sir Knight,
our fraternal orders, as well as COM
munity and state, have suffered a
great and irreparable loss,
THEREFORE, be it resolved that
we set aside a page on the Minute
Book of Lodge, Chapter and Asylum
on which to record these resolutions.
That a vacant chair in the Lodge be
draped in mourning and remain unoc-
cupied for thirty days, as a tribute Of
respect to our brothers memory.
That we tender to his bereaved
wife and family our coincidence and
sympathy in their sad bereavement:
that these resolutions be published in
the Aberdeen papers, and copies sent
to his wife and faily.
Adopted by the several masonic
bodies this the 9th day of February,
A. d. 1919.

That PoStoffice Bill.

The bill proposing TO appro
pirate S25,0O000 for improve
ment of the Federal Court and
Postoffice building al Aberdeen
is pending before the House APP
preparation Committee for favor
able report.
This bill was introduced by
Hon. f. S. Gambler. congressman
from this district.
If the committee that has this
bill under consideration only
knew how the postoffice officials
at this place are handicapped for
want of room and other facilities
for handling the increased vol
ume of mail that comes 10 the
Aberdeen postoffice, they would
not bubble but would at
once report the appropriation
favorably. There was a time
when the pOstoffice building was
adequate 10 the needs of the pub
lie, but that time is past. Since
then the rural routes, free deliv-
cry in the CITY and the parcel
post traffic have been established.
These additions more than
doubled the business transacted
in this postoffiCe building. TO say
nothing of the increased room
which is required TO handle the
numerous parcel post packages.
Surely, the committee will give
Aberdeen a square deal along
with other cities in the country,
and allow this needed appropri-
alton. 1t is imperative if Uncle
Sans business is to be transacted
with any degree of convenience
to the postoffice employees and
promptness TO the public.

ney General Collins has said that
any soldier or sailor who has been
honorably discharged from the SER

Freight Agent Can Send Through : Nothing But FoodStuds
SELECTING A MEMORIAL
Several Excellent Designs Have Been Submitted to COmmittce-Strike lis Already Holding Up Some Local
 eNfaiI-Other Local News of Interest.

The strike is being felt in Berlin and was very much in evidence this morning. Freight Agent Tomlinson stated that he had received orders to receive nothing in the way of freight, either carload or less carload, with the exception of foOdstuffs. AS far as help was concerned they were all on the1r jobs this morning and did not expect to be called upon to strike. The Amer ican Paper Goods company will con- tinue their production as usual as business is good and orders will be pushed through regardless of the strike. It is probable that what can be forwarded by auto truck will be moved and the remainder held until settlement of the strike. The Berlin Construction company will continue business as usual as they also have many orders to get out, so that the strike will in no way hamper produc- tion As the orders are completed they will be held in readiness for ship ment as soon as the strike is called off.
 Passenger service is in a crippled condition also, 12 trains having been taken off, six in each direction. There are now 4 trains running in the "A hours, seven each way, with the pros pect of a number of these also being annulled before the day is over. Sev- eraI passengers were obliged to remain at the Berlin depot from o'clock un- til 11:08 as the trains in between had been taken off. The mail trains are being kept up, however, as far as pos sible only one being annulled during the morning. All parlor cars and din ing cars are side tracked for the time being. Stops are being made in New Haven and Hartford so that the pas sengers can eat at the station restaur- ants in the absence of the diners.
 Selecting Memorial.
 The subcommittee on the memorial design met Wednesday evening to con- sider the designs which have been submitted by the different bidders. Every one of the designs offered is of exceptional beauty which will mean a very careful selection of the final design. The committee plan to make their selection by the process of elimination, all the members of the committee acting as the jury and the judge.
 The things that govern the selection will largely decide which design shall be chosen. The first consideration is the appropriation, which must not be exceeded, and this fact will be one of the deciding principles. Another con- .sideration is the aesthetic beauty of the design which means much to the committee as their selection will have to withstand all the criticism of com ing years. It will mean some time yet before the final decision of the com-

 New Heating Apparatus.
 The old heating system in the Church of Our Lady of Mercy has been discarded and the old piping torn out. In it's place a new and up-to date atmospheric system will be installed which will give a normal amount of heat at an expense much less than the old system. Several radiators will take the place of the old piping along the side aisles of the church and the new system will in- clude heat for the basement, which will be fitted up into a social hall. In order to defray the expense of in stalling the system, a collection will be taken up at both masses in the church next Sunday morning. The heating system is but the start of several improvem which the new pastor, Rev. J. E. Fay, is contem- plating.
 No Damage Reported.
 An extra severe electrical storm struck the town at 3 o'clock this morning accompanied by a deluge of
  variety and especially sharp. No damage was reported and the farmers welcomed the downpour.
 Fiscal Year Ends Soon.
 The towns fiscal year will end on Saturday, August 5 according to a statement by Selectman W. J. John son this morning. The towns books will be closed on that date and the position of the town during the year will be disclosed. Any outstanding blls against the town should be forwarded at once in order that they can be included in the years pay ments and not lag until the following wear. MT. Johnson was enthusiastic about the financial condition of the town while talking this morning and is of the opinion that the town re- port will show a good years work completed.
 Street Line Hearing.
 A hearing on establishing building lines on Park street and TOmlinso avenue will be held in the selectmen's office in the town hall next Friday evening at o'clock. At that time the residents of the named streets will have an opportunity to appear before the town plan commission in support of or in protest against the proposed lines.
 It is but the start of a work which should have been done before. The town is of such size and prosperity that it should have common rules and regulations in regard to construc- tion work within it's limits as have other boroughs of it's size.

Thus both parties are satisfied. The block is to be in three sections and the varying

 Gun Club Outfit Stolen.
 The Mattebesset Gun club will be unable to hold their shoot Saturday as announced a short time ago. Mem berS of the club went over to the grounds the other day preparatory to making the range ready for the time Saturday and found all the equipment with the exception of the traps stolen. The traps were locked up in a strong place from which it would be almost impossible to break into, so they are all that remains.
 There was 600 feet of Finch chest nut plank on the range which was to be used this week for repairs, but this has been cleaned out completely. Even the $500 clay pigeons have been stolen which the club had on hand. These pigeons are of no use to any looks as though spite prompted the theft. Action to apprehend the thieves will be taken Thursday eve- ming when the club officials meet to take action on the matter. Judge George G. Griswold of Berlin is pres ident of the Mattebesset Gun club and he intends to go right through to the finish to find the culprits.
 Carload of Oil Arrives.
 The long waited for carload of oil arrived in East Berlin yesterday and work upon the roads will be commenced immediately. Nothing has been done to the highway since the last consignment of oil arrived. The sand which is to be used to cover the road after oiling has been par tially washed away during the re- cent rains and will probably have to be replenished. It is reported that the roads will be treated with oil by means of the automobile sprayer as the previous pail system was found to be unsatisfactory as we'll as too expensive.
