Growers Concerned Over Strawberry
Crop Owing to So Many Rains

Growers Concerned Over Strawberry
Crop Owing to So Many Rains
Townsend, April 20 Strawberry
growers in this part of the state are
much concerned over the prospects
for this years crop. The many heavy |
rains have kept many of the straw
berry patches under water a great |
part of the time, injuring the vines,
but the extent of the damage is pro-
blematical.
Special exercises to honor the sol
dier dead on Memorial Day are being
considered by our patriotic citizens,
and there is every prospect that a
plan to thus honor all the deceased
veterans, will soon be formulated.
The many friends of J. Oliver For
aker will be glad to know that he is
steadily improving from an illness
that has kept him confined to his
home for several weeks. Mr.. Foraker
is now able to move about, but is still
quite weak due to the illness. 1t is
needless to say that he has been
greatly missed by our townfOlk who
know him as a true friend.
An egg-rolling was given on the
parsonage green by the fourth depart
ment of the Epworth League, under
the direction of the 4th vice-president,
Mrs. Connolly. Quite number were
present. They had 200 eggs to roll
and 125 humpty-dumptys as souvenirs.

MEN ESCAPE DEATH
 BY DIVE IN POND
KenSington Resident i1 Serious
 Condition as Result of Burns EXPLODING TANK IS CAUSE
Final Plans Made For Lawn Party Funeral Train Passes Thro:,-h Fer lin-Police Receive Complaints - Man Held For Berlin Policc-Itcms.

Tony Carrelli of kensington is ir the New Britain general hospital in a serious condition and Phillip Zipadell and Tony Furlini are also receiving medical attention, as a result of burns received last night when gasoline tank on touring car exploded. Dr. A. J. Goodwin attended all three men soon after the occurrence and Carrelli was rushed to the hospital, where it was reported today that his condition is as good as can be expected. He is in considerable pain
 The three men, all employees of the Berlin Brick Co.,, were about 10 start cut on an evening of pleasure and had filled the % soline tank of the car. In some mysterious manner, it is thought by the use of q match to see if the tank was full. the fumes became ig- nited and the tank exploded. The three men were standing near the tank and were burned by the flames.
 Carrelli was burned worst of the three and all ran to a pond which, fortunately was within few feet of the scene of the accident. and jumped in, extnguishing their burning cloth ing, but not soon enough to prevent serious burns.
 Dr Goodwin of kensington was summoned. The men were taken from the water by neighbors attract ed to the scene by the noise of the ex- plosion and were in one of the houses near the place when the doctor ar rived. He administered first aid treatment and bandaged up the wounds of Zipadelli and Furlini, sending out call for the ambulance to take Carreli to the hospital
 Dr. Goodwin said today that Car relli must have received the full sweep of flames, as his body is badly burned, so badly that his life was at first dispaired of, although the doctor is now of the opinion that he will survive.
 The doctor stated that if the pond had not been as near as it was Car relli might have been burned to death | and the others might have fared less | fortunately than they did.
