MAY EXTEND FIRE
 DISTRICT BOUNDS Matter Will Be Taken Up in
 WorthiDgton Section MEETING FRIDAY NIGHT
New Britain Vault Company Pur- chased By Kensington Men-Post office Sign Stolen-Remoyed To Hospital-Other Items.

A progressive step will be taken Friday night if plans meet with the approval of citizens, when a spe- cial meeting of the Worthington Fire district will be held at o'clock in the Town hall to discuss the ex- tension of the boundary lines of the district.
 1t is planned to extend the south line 500 feet beyond it's present posi- tion and to move the west line or the district in that direction until it meets the boundary line of the Ken sinstou Fire district.
 Resident of the old Jarvis farm property have petitioned the fire district for an extension of the boundary lines so that they may be included in the district and may, at some future date, receive the benefits of the water mains.
 Residents of the Berlin fair grounds property have also es- pressed a desire to be included in the fire district. as this stretch of territory, lying between the Ken siugton district and the Warrington district, has been without a water supply beyond that secured from wells.
 The old west line of the district extended to Lower Lane, while the east line of the kensington fire dis . trict does not take in the fair grounds.
 This will be the only business to be discussed at the meeting and of- tcials of the district have made i, plain that they will welcome nc other propositions. The call for the meeting, as posted on the public sign board in Berlin, asks that the discussion be confined to this one matter.
 It is not known when the ques- lion of furnishing these new sec. lions of the district with a water supply will be brought before the district as a whole. It is planned to get ono matter out of the way first, as the proposition will have tc he approved by members of the Worthington district.

diplomatic relatlOnssWith Turkey and Ath-
ems is buzzlng with talk of war, because
the AngOra Government expelled the
Ecumenical PatriarchatQ, which for seven
centuries has represented the Orthodox
Greek Church in Consta atinople. A
wave of indignation has swept the
Greek nation. There were violent
scenes ID the Chamber of Deputies,
members shouting down with Tur-
key" The ex- Minister of War, in a
stirring speech, declared that it IS pro-
bable however, that an appeal will be
made to the League of Nations against
the expulsion. The Greek nation is III
mourning. Church bells throughout the
country were tOlIed and The President of
Greece cancelled a diplomatic banquet.
The expulsion Of the Patriarchate by
the Turks at COnstantinopIe marks the
elimination Of their effort to 0bliterate
the Orthodox Church in Turkey. AT the

just defeated the Greeks In war, promised
to respect the Patriarchate, the ArchOish
Op0t Canterbury and the churches gtner-
ally have brought pressure on the Govern
ment to intervene. The expelled Pa
trlarch and his staff arrived on Greek soil
today and were received with grear hon

is doing its best to curb The extremists,
who are crying for war, and is preparing
a protest to the nations of the world.
