New Britain herald., 1921-08-19


 Haven railroad will issue a new spe- cial fare ticket which, though hav- ing certain restrictions, will effect some reduction in the cost of travel. The ticket will be known as the 25 ride family ticket and will be good for the purchaser, members of his family and servants, but not for visit ors. It will be good between any two points not over 40 miles apart, where zone fares are now in effect. The cost per mile to users of these tick cts will be 2.64 cents, or nearly one cent less per mile than the regular fare. It is expected that many will be purchased between Berlin and Middletown as we'll as Berlin and New Britain.
 Also beginning the first of the month, the five trip tickets will be abolished between this town and New Britain The zone fare from Berlin to Middletown will be increased from 24 cents to 30 cents. Notices to this effect have been posted about the To- cal depot.
 Leaves or Western Coast. Word has been received from Miss Phebe K Beard, formerly teacher 1 n the Junior High school. but who l has been living in Oberlin, Ohio, for I the past few weeks, to the effect that she with her father will leave Oberlin August 10 for the western coast. It is i urobable that they will travel to San | Francisco direct, as both intend to | sail from that port to Shanghai, China, August 31. The voyage will be made on the ship Golden State" It w.ll be remembered by many that Miss Beard gave a very interesting talk in the Berlin Congregational | church in regards to conditions in China. This lecture was illustrated with many beautiful stereoptican | slides. Miss Beard has made arrange | ncnts with the Herald to write and | tell of conditions over there at present, and her first story will appear in this | column the first part of October. | Miss Beard was born in China, as both her mother and father were in | that country doing missionary work. Miss Beard has always been active in this line of work. She came to this country and received her first Ameri- can education in Oberlin, Ohio. Miss Reard had taught in Berlin schools for l she liked it here it was her desire to teach in school in China. While in town Miss Beard made her home with | Miss Jeanette Honiss on Hudson | street.
 Many Book Agents. 1 Residents on Berlin street as we'll as in other parts of the town are com riaining of the number of book agents about town as we'll as beggars. It is | probable that due to the unemploy- ment situation that the men are about. There are also many young fellows on the road who are asking 1 their way about, taking automobile and truck rides whenever the driver | of a machine feels willing to take them on.
