 Two large lights have been placed at "Blossom's corner" where Farm ington avenue and East Main street meet, in an attempt 10 lessen the number of accidents occurring there. Many serious smashes have happen ed there in recent years, scarcely a weekend passing without someone being injured The greatest danger Is to motorists who are unfamiliar with the corner as they come thun- dering down the straight stretch on Pennington avenue and are sud denly confronted with an uneXpecte ed corner and are unable to take it. The installation of lights will call their attention to the crossroads here.
 With the larger lights and re moyal of oW-hanging limbs at the East Main street railroad crossing, the towns safety first campaign is well under way. There is much feel ing, however, that a further step should be taken in the placing of a traffic officer at Central square on Saturday and Sunday afternoons and evenings. The volume Of traffic which passes the center of PlainyilIe is growing rapidly, while the a"k- ward angles of the lnterscCting roads make it extremely difficult for op- erating in the long lines of cars which are continuously pas6ing through.
 Although there have been no ser ious accidents there lately, several slight bumps have occurred. The chief nuisance. however,, is the ne Cessity Of stopping for the strings Of cars to pass, while pedestrians are forced to wait for long periods be- fore they can cross the street.
 There is also some feeling partic- ularly among the merchants, that parking rules should be made for the central streets and a restricted district established. Automobiles are parked before some Of the stores from morning to night, and Custon- CTS are unable to drive up and stop near where they wish to trade.
