New Britain herald., 1920-07-17

The question of a curriculum also confronts local people. This is more important now because the school in New Britain offers all kinds of courses under competent instructors, whereas the local school could not maintain various courses. and possibly would have to confine itself to an academic or commercial course. The question of teachers is also important with the present demand for higher salaries and the added attractions of teaching in a large city.
 The school authorities and selectmen hope for a large attendance when the meeting opens at 6 o'clock tonight.
 Large Crowd nt Outing.
 Approximately 2.5o0 persons were in attendance at the field day held at the Berlin fair grounds on Saturday by the Mutual Aid association of the Landers, F'rary & Clark company of New Britain. Special trolleys~ were needed on the Berlin line during the afternoon and early evening. dance was held in Foresters' hall in the eve- ming. which was largely attended. There were several local young peo- pie listed in the athletic contests of the afternoon.
 Mistake fin Names.
 Of late there have been several news items in reference to an alleged Divivo-Conlon feud in Berlin and due to a mistake in names. 1t has ap- peared that one of the principals was Louis Divtvo. It should have read Alfonso Divivo. as Louis is a son and not implicated in the trouble.
 Ford Car in Accident.
 A Ford car owned by the Liggett. Myers Tobacco company came to grief on Worthington ridge, in front of Baratterio's store about o'clock last evening when the right hind wheel broke off. The car was not proceed ing at a rapid rate of speed. which probably accounts for the escape of the driver from injuries. A New Ha-' ven garage was called and a repair car sent to town. The Ford was re- paired and left about o'clock this morning.
