URGE TROLLEY SERVICE
 EXTENSION TO CANAAN
Selectmen of Sheffield and Great Harrington Ask for
 Trial Operation

H. M. Aldrich, an inspector for the Massachusetts department of public utilities, met with the Great Harrington board of selectmen in the selectmen's rooms at the town hall building last week in regard to the extension of the service of the Berk- shire Street Railway company to Sheffield and points south, says the Berkshire Courier.
 Mir. Aldrich came to Great Bar riqgton at the direction of the com mission at Boston, following the re- ceipt by that department of letter from the local board of selectmen in which such action was requested. The board asked that some represen- tative of the department come to Great Harrington in consultation with the local selectmen and repre- sentatives from the town of Shef- field. It was proposed that the in spector look over the situation here and then consult with the officials of the road regarding a possible trial operation of the line. Action so far has been along these lines and MT. Aldrich will meet the officers of the company later in the week at Pitts fieldand submit the proposition to them.
 Present at the meeting were the members of the local board of sell ectmen, Representative Orlando c. Bidwell and Henry c. Clark, the latter town clerk of selectmen of that town, who were unable to be present. Representative Bidwell and the members of the board discussed in detail the proposition as it appears locally.
 The selectmen ask that the street railway company operate the section of their lines south of Great Bar rington for a trial period, at the end of which they may prepare a state ment of actual receipts and expen- ditures. Such statement, the select men believe, will show a favorable balance in favor of the company for this end of the line. In case, how ever, that the report shows a deficit in operation the amount of such loss could be the basis of arranging financial assistance to the road from the towns served by it.
 Since the selectmen decided to apply to the department of public utilities for assistance in< securing the servce desired there has been considerable interest developed in

EAST CANAAN WINS
Defeat Union Hardware of Torring-
 ton in No Hit, No Run Game

The third game of the series be- tween the Union Hardware team of Torrington and the East Canaan team resulted in a defeat for the visitors on Tuesday evening by the score of to o. The game was fast throughout and was apparently either sides game until the eighth inning.
 sawin of East Canaan pitched one of the best games this season com .pletely shutting the visitors out, al- lowing neither a run nor a hit. Schoppe of Torrington did good work for the visitors but had poor support. Due to the shortstop's two errors two runs were scored, while Minacci made a home run on a single over first, due to the fact that the ball was lost in she grass.
 The first game of the series was called in the eleventh inning on ac- count of darkness, neither team be- ing able to score the deciding run. The teams seem to be evenly match ed and both play fast game. The deciding game will be played at East Canaan next Tuesday evening at six o'clock, new time.

ANNUAL STAFF REUNION
 AT SHARON HOSPITAL
Case Demonstration and Surgical Clinic on
 the Program

The Annual Reunion of the Staff of the Sharon Hospital passed off very successfully July 31, 1920. The Surgical Clinic and some case dem onstrations were held at the Hospi- tai in the morning before an inter ested audience. At l o'clock the company adjourned to the beautiful home of President and Mrs. Van Cortlandt where luncheon waR served. This was a great success and much difficulty was experienced in getting the members away to start the afternoon meeting which was held in the Casino.
 The first paper was to have been by Dr. Alexander Lambert of New York but at the last moment he was unable to come, much to the disap- pointment of all. The next paper was by Dr. George M. Coates of Philadelphia on "Mastoiditis and Indications for Operations" This was very valuable paper going thoroughly into the subject and giving the general practitioner a lot of much needed points. It was dis cussed by Drs. Coley, Herrick, Weidler, LeRoy and Rockwell. Doc tor Sadlier also gave very interest ing discussion of this paper from a personal standpoint. Next in order followed a paper on Diagnosis and Treatment of Sarcoma of the Long Bones' illustrated with lantern slides, by Dr. W. B. Coley. As the hour was late not much discussion was allowed on this paper. The meeting then adjourned.
 Among those present we noticed Doctors Bassett, Bissell, Chaffee, Coates, Coley, Herrick, Hoag, LeRoy Mackenzie, Miller, Morrison, Rock we'll, Sadlier, Thompson, Turrill, Futile and Weidler.
