The town of Berlin is searching for that new building law which 1t was to have if nothing went awry. Ihls new code got lost in the shuffle' nrobably the shuffle in connection with the late electioneering. Now if Berlin were part of New Britain it would have the services or this city's building commission and would not need a separate code; in other words, good service without any oth- CT extra expense.

COMMUNICATED
ON THE FRAT DANCES

To the Herald:-
 Having been . constant reader of the Herald" ever since my teens, could not help but notice the glar. ling headlines (before much else) an- nouncins the fact that High school fraternities were to be denied tho use of the Hotel Burritt for dances in the future.
 No doubt, the management of the Burritt has considered itself with having sufficient cause to ban such affairs. Possibly the management was never young and never exper- fenced frat" affairs. never strayed from the formality of a formal dance and never realized the present state of age.
 Being, through no fault of my own. a small Every small) stock holder in the hotel, feel as though I had some sort of right to voice my opinion in anything but an of- fensive manner. The one place i:l this city that Is 'esirable and should be available to the students of the local high school, is closed to their affairs. Just because one or more may have overstepped the bounds of hotel etiquette-just because a few, compared with the majority, have acted boisterously ar have allowed their spirit to boil over-spirit for school. for their fraternity and pos- sibly for their good time. Their actions have caused the entire fra- ternal membership to be judged ac- cordingly. which is far from correct. The management of our hotel may be assuming the right attitude in barring local High school affairs and it may not, but 1t seems to me (and I am not in the minorlty) that the decision came at an inopportune time and was sort of nasty.

The Big Parade

| Four weeks ago I was a spinster I had been invited to spend the weekend at the home of Mrs. R. L., another spinster. l At the last moment, I caught my best dress on a nail and tore it. By the time I could change to another. it was too late for me to catch the train.
 So I stayed at home.
 That night a burglar entered my house.
 Oh, man!
 THAT was my lucky day! t
 H. w. B.
 Please pardon my writing as l am writing with my left hand.
 The other night I had date with my sweetie. On my way home from work an automobile skidded into me and broke my right arm.
 Naturally, l was unable to keep the date. That was what seemed more tragic to me than a broken arm.
 The next morning she called me up and said, "I'm so sorry you couldn't come over last night. Papa had a nice surprise all fixed up for i us. We all went to the concert" Lucky?
 THAT was MY lucky day, believe | me brother! Everett Refield. Fate, you see. plays a shifty hand to some folks and what ap- pears to be, on the moment, 'bad break often turns out to be the lucky break! In association with George Whites Scandals" we want to get the funniest lucky day incl dents you have had in your life!

IN the main, Mike kept a safe dis

With all of the fists which were
flying i'll the ten rounds, not one
landed hard enough to really effect
either boxer. Both came out of
the match without a mark to show
