NEWSIES WILL HAVE
 NEW YEARS DINNER
300 Boys From City and Suburbs to Be Guests
 of Herald

A custom, started by the late R.. J. Vance more than 35 years ago. when the Herald was published In q building on Main street, will be continued tomorrow when Herald ncwsboys will be given a New Years dinner by the management.
 The dinner tomorrow will be a marked contrast to that first dinner when the newsboys of today are sons to many of the first carriers. Her aid files telling of that first dinner were damaged in the fire which visited the newspaper plant in 1921 and details are lacking. It is known however that the paper at that time boasted of the large staff of r boys. They met at the Herald of- fee at 1:S0 o'clock in the afternoon and marched to Jack Walsh's eat- ing housor on Main street, where they had a turkey dinner and later were given an orange and bag of candy apiece. In those days when the newsboys numbered less than a score it was the custom for the management of the Opera House, later, the LyCeum theater, to invite them to see a show as guests of the management after the dinner.
 The custom of giving the dinner continued but as the neWsboys grew in number and theaters changed the discontinued. Instead of but IT boys, tomorrow there will assemble at the Herald plant not less than 300 carriers from New Britain, Der lin, kensington, East Berlin, Plain vile, Sorthington, Newington and Bristol. The boys will meet between i and 1:30 o'clock. They win form in line facing Elm street and win parade, led by the Boys club fife and drum corps, to Elm street, to East -iain, to Main street and then proceed to a local hall where they will have their dinner.
 The Boys club orchestra will play during the dinner. The menu is much the same as it always has been, turkey and all the fixings, in- cluding dressing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, turnips, coffee and the indispensable pie, and crullers' The dinner will be served by E. J. Dyer. proprietor of Collins restah- rant.

DR. PURNEY TO ACT AS MEDICAL EXAMINER
Appointed Assistant to Dr. Lyon, Who Is Going
 Away

Announcement Of the appointment of Dr. John B. Purncy of 125 Black Rock avenue as assistant medical ex- aminer for New Britain was made today by Coroner J. Gilbert Calhoun. Chief William c. Hart of the police department was notified of the ap- pointment today although 1t is un- deTstood that the appointment of an assistant for this city has been pend ing for some time. Medical Exam iner Waterman Lyon had no assist ant before this time. and as he will leave the city fin the near future 10 undergo treatment at a government hospital, the appointment of an as- sistant to care for the work during his absence became necessary.
 pr. Purney has been a practicng physician in this city for about IS years, opening his practice here soon after receiving his medical degree ar the University of Maryland. During the World War he served with the Canadian forces in France and Eng land, holding tho rank of captain in the medical corps.
 He is familiar with the work of the local police department as he has beon called or many occasions to do surgical work and perform exam nations for the police. Chief Hart said that the need for an assistant medical examiner in the city has been felt for some time as a situ- ation was liable 10 arise at any time that would neccssitate the presence of an examiner immediately and If Medical Examiner Lyon happened to be busy or couldn't he reached, an awkward situation would develop
