the legislature for a term,

| MT. Bulkeley has always been inter- ested in improvements for the town and it was largely due to his work that the Berlin free library was taken from private ownership and made public, so that everyone could enjoy good reading.
 Church work also has interested MT. Bulkeley and he took great in- terest in all church affairs in his younger days, still being a member of the Berlin Congregational church and Worthington Ecclesiastical society. Lately, he has not been able to get around as usual, having been confined to his home with a slight illness for some time during the spring. He has been extremely active for a man of his years during the past year. He was seen often walking up the hill to board the New Britain car, go- ing to that city on business.
 Mir. Bulkeley was never married but has always shown a great love for children.
 Suggest Police Force.
 What Is now being suggested for the town of Berlin by a number of citizens is a permanent police force which will always be on hand, day and night, to take care of traffic through the town and to arrest law breakers.
 The fact that Berlin may soon have a fire station also brings out the sug- gestion that it would be good time to organize a police department, part of the new structure being used as a police station. As it is now the town constables work in the factories, either in New Britain or Kensington and 1t would be difficult in case of necessity, to secure their aid. :
 The presence of officers on Berlin street would ttend to decrease the number of reckless driving cases along the turnpike and would cause traffic to go slowly through the town.
 The presence of permanent police would also decrease the amount of work which it is necessary for the state police to do along the highway with regard to reckless driving cases and the transportation of liquor. A town lookup would reduce the in- convenience of taking liquor offenders and others held for trial to New Britain for lodging until the time of trial.
 Police Are Active.
 The state police have shown them selves unusually active in Berlin this week, having seized 1,296 gallons of alcohol since last Monday. Fines in the Berlin town court since Tuesday have netted nearly s1,000 from liquor offenders. Court has been in l session nearly every night the past week.
 Will Leave On Trip.
 The "Old Vets of the Berlin Con- struction Co. left this noon for a week end on Long Island sound. They have the idea that they are going to catch more fish than the fishing club did, the latter organization, from the name, suggesting that it had to do with the catching of the inhabitants of deep water. The~name did not save the organization, however, and 70 save the reputation of the com oany the "Old Vets" will leave for cruise, returning tomorrow night.
 Those in the party include E. E. hbStiiiy H. SiuolIns Nls oOOuiiIiIB IT, Skinner, Ford Sandstrom and MT. Queeney. Peter Chaponi is victim of he wild idea that they will have to go some to beat my record"
