New Britain herald., 1925-10-15

about the abundance Of poison ivy
and poison sumac in the woods
about the town. II is reported that
several New Britain hunters have
come In contact with these weeds
and as a result have been forced to
remain at their homes until the pol
son vas cured. AS yet nmrods
from this town have not had any
experience with either of these
forms Of shrubbery. but it always
pays to be careful, according to the
New Britain men who have fallen
victims to the poison.
Traffic Growing Lighter
With the abatement of traffic on
the turnpike week-ends it is expected
that the Berlin officers will soon be
called off duty Saturdays and Sun
days until next summer. Officers
have been stationed at each street
intersection where danger turks and
they have successfully carried on the
maneuvering Of cars during the past
few months. But the lines are not
az long and the thoroughfare is be-
coming less congested as the cold
weather sets in and It will not be
long before the officers will not be
required to take their posts at the
Pennington road and the Middle
town road each Sunday.
1t Is not expected that the Berlin
traffic force will be called out on
Saturdays during the football sea-
son, since the state officers take
charge Of traffic direction during
the fall.
