Pearson on Chautauoua.

Dr. Paul M. Pearson,a lover of the chautauqua says that the aim of the Lyceum and the chautauqua is to con- tribute positively to those influences in the community which make for a larger and more joyous life, and pre- sent non-partisan, -sectarian discussion of economic, social, educa- tional and religious question. The means employed towards this end are lectures, music and entertainments, arranged in such proportion as will most certainly secure the largest and deepest cross-reaction, and presented by carefully organized methods which stimulate and conserve the higher as- pirations and direct the best impulses of the entire community.
 Tho people of Berlin will have their first opportunity to see a chau- tauqua when such will play here from August 30 until September 2. The tent will be pitched at the Ken sington school grounds.
 The committee in charge of the event is now planning for a house to house canvass to be made very shortly for the sale of tickets. Realizing that chatauqua is new to Berlin, the com mittee does not feel that the demand for tickets will be very great but it is hoped that the people will buy so that the affair may be made a suc- cess and therefore held yearly. Repairing "Cat Hole'' Road The town teams are now busy re- pairing the so-called "cat hole" road from Kensington Meriden. This road is in the blue hills district of the town. MT. Carter stated this morning, that although it was not known when the work began, that MT. French of New Britain had asked for the right to run a jitney along this road, the inn provement will be great aid to the jitneys as this road has never been in extra good condition.
 As was stated previously MT. French has applied to the Public Utilities Commission to operate a jitney line from New Britain to Meriden via the "cat hole" road. Such a jitney line |! it is believed will be a paying proposi- tion and will benefit Kensington homes which are not reached by the trolley. People Object
