 Local Politics Discussed
 With the summer partly gone, the democrats still in session in New York and the republicans preparing for the national election in the fall, the local politicians are beginning to start the flame underneath the Berlin political pot. The annual election of town officers is scheduled to take place in September and already dis cussions are being heard about town as to possible candidates for the of- fice of first selectman.
 George B. Carter has held this po- sition for several years. He evidently has pleased the republicans, the party he represents, as well as few demo- crats, and will again be placed before the people by the republican machine.
 Berlin always has been noted as republican stronghold and there is no apparent fear that the democrats will rise to the front and secure control of town affairs. Sentiment seems again to be in favor of Carter, who has piloted the old ship ''Berlin" through man va stormy sea.
 With the approach of election time there is also discussion of changing the time of office fro none year to two years for the first selectman's Eertl. This matter will no doubt be brought up before the annual town meeting which precedes the election. It was killed at last years session but supporters of the movement have hopes of pushing it through this year. They claim that man in office for a single year hardly has an oppor- tunity 10 become well acquainted with his work.
