RED CROSS SELLS
 PERISHABLE GOODS
No Other Articles Have Been Dis posed of That Could Be of
 JSc in Relief Work.

Paris, Aug. 23.-In a statement an sWerinS many reports of large sales of Red Cross merchandise, the Amer ican Red Cross explains that the only materials which have been sold are certain perishable StuffS, second hand equipment, surplus stocks and articles which no longer are of any use in direct relief work in France or east ern Europe.
 The total sales of such materials in Europe, the statement says. az gregated 3O,0O0.00G francs, while re- lief materials distributed in Europe during July and August exceeded 1OO,O00,O0O francs in value.
 The American Red Cross, the state ment sets forth is now conduCting operations in seventeen European countries. The relief materials dis trbuted in France, mainly given out in the devastated regions since the armistice were valued at more than 125 5OO0,O00 francs, while other Euro pean countries in the same period re- ceived more than 2OO,000,000 francs

The bacon for this town will be distributed to the public at the rooms. Several of the local meat clerks will he in charge of the distribution which will be of advantage to the town ottl- cials as experienced meat clerks will not have to be secured from out of town.

Will Seek Nomination as Repub- HCan SeleCtInan This Fall
ANNOUNCES HIS PLATFORM
Considers Job a ThankIess One, But Has Listened to Requests of His Importance.

Politics this fall will not be tam 9 for Berlin, as new man has entered the field for the office of selectman. Dr. R. M. Griswo1d, after consider able urging on the part of his friends, has come out with the statement that he would run for the office of select man this fall He has been ap- preached a number of times to run for office, but refused every time. Very recently he was approached by a humber of the town voters who urged him to run for the office and promised him their support. This has resulted in his candidacy.
 pr. Griswold has been a resident of the town for many years and under stands the conditions and the people of the town of Berlin much better than any other resident. He looks upon the job of selectman as thank less one and says as much in a state ment which he gave out this morning. The doctor does not intend to canvass for caucus votes, but will accept the nomination if it is rendered to him Dr. Griswold is leaving the brunt of his medical practice upon his son
  tention necessary to the office of se- 1ectman if elected.
 The need of a sinking fund for the town is realized by pr. Griswold, and if the voters of the town are desir0l1s Of starting such fund, he will do all that he can to further their interests if elected, he says. The town at the present time has an indebtedness of s74,00O in the form of serial bonds of $2,0OO each, one of which is paid off each year. At the present rate of payment, it will take 37 years before the last bond is paid, besides all. the interest that will have to be paid m the meantime.
 Tn an interview with Dr. Griswoid this morning he made the following statements relative to his entry into the political ring this fall:
 Will Accept Nomination.
 "I have recently been asked by good many voters of the town if I would run for the office of selectman this fall and to such I have replied that I would not make a personal can- vass for caucus votes, but that if nom mated I would accept the nomination.
 "I have no rersonal ambition to be seiectman, which is a thankless and very poorly paid office, but 1 have personal interest in the town of Ber- hrr and am ambitious for it's future.

Prominent Resident Run Down by Car Driven by New Britain Man
AMERICAN LEGION MEETING
Arrangements Under Way for Bi" OutInS-LOCaI Postmaster Attending Interest in PiainvilIC

A serious accident took place last evening when an automobile, owned and driven by Oscar PaulsOn, of A Smith street, New Britain, struck and seriously injured Charles H, Calor, one of the most prominent residents of Plainville. The victim was re- moved to the Hartford hospital in d critical condition.
 The accident occurred on West Main street near the home of Mr. Calor, and from all indications it is probable that MT. Calor did not see the PaulsOn machine, as it was going toward the railroad tracks, It is said that MT. CalOr had been working in a cornfeld and was crossing the street on his way home when he was struck MT. Paulson, who was driving the car, is said to have made all possible ef- forts to avoid the accident, but, due to the fact that MT. Calor is said to have walked directly in front of the machine, he did not have time to stop the car.
 pr. T. W. Moody and pr. w. M. Stockwell were immediately sum- moned to the scene and rendered first aid then ordering his removal to the hospital, where it was found that the victim was suffering from a broken arm, a compound fracture of the right leg, fractured ribs and internal m- juries. It was reported at the hOspi- tai this morning that his condition was grave and, because of the fact that he is advanced in years and had suffered a shock recently, the chances for his recovery are slight.
 Constable Philip Marine, who was one of the first to arrive at the scene, made a thorough investigation and later released Paulson on a promise that he would appear in court if sum- moned to do so. It is probable that further investigation will be made.
 MT. Calor is 5 years of age and has resided in Plainville many years. For several years he was the proDriG- tor and manager of the hardware fac tory on FOrestVille avenue which was recently destroyed by fire.
 After Speed Niolators.
 The serious accident in which Charles CalOr figured last evening has brought out the fact that something should be done about having speed law violatOrs taken into custody and punished for their actions. Residents in the vicinity where the accident took place remarked that accidents of this kind have been expected at any time as the many autos travelling on this road have made habit of using the street for a speedway. Consta ble Philip Marine, following an inVestiga- tiOn of the accident yesterday stated that in the future authorities will be on the lookout for autoists violating . the speed reSulat tiOnS and will be ia ken into custody. He asserted that these means will have to be taken in an effort to stop the danger.

Il do not like to see our town lag ging behind all the surrounding towns in matters of public policy, and while my personal efforts as selectman might not accomplish much in this direction, still I might be able to make. start which someone else could later carry on.
 'I am especially interested in the town roads, and particularly the side and back roads, and as l suppose I drive and ride over mere miles of diff ferent road in the year than any man in town, I ought to be a competent judge of their condition, and of their needs.
 'I believe the roads can be much improved and permanently benefited and beautified d at little increased ex- pensa, and when this work is once commen ced n cone will want it stop ped and no one will complain of the slightly added cost.
 Water System Needed.
 With all public spirited citizens I haVo long recCgr ized the absolute need tor a public water system, and some system of street lighting if we are not to run hcpelessly behind all our neiglIbcrs
 These permanent improvements are absolutely needful things for bringing into town new enterprises, and more people, and without them we are hopelessly handicapped in these present times
 If nominated and elected I will do all in my power to start a move to secure these improvements.
 "Under present conditions the inter ests of the three villages in town are not identical, and. in some ways they are antagoniatic.
 Advises Separate Settlement.
 ITO a large extent each of these villages should be allowed to settle it's ments.
 'The interests of Kensington should not be dependent upon the consent of ests of that village and East Berlin be dependent upon the wishes and good will of Kensington.
 These are problems which for the good of the whole town at large should be worked out as soon as possi- ble, and 1 should hope I might be able to give an impulse to public opinion in this direction.
 II am not critiCizing the present ad- ministratiOn. l am simply saying that if the voters care togo into caucus and vote for me, and I am nominated, 1 will do my best to be elected, and to give the town a clean, progressive and business like administration, provided the voters will back me up.
 "In other words I am ready to try to do whatever the voters want done"
