nexed their first setback game OF
the season last night when they
journeyed to East Berlin to take on
the newly formed East Berlin set
back squad. The score, 10 to II. in
dicates tight match and it Is
thought that the little districts team
will present a fine battle when they
have rounded into shape. Conlin's
team played the best game Of their
season SO far and they state that
they arc hitting their stride and
will go through the season with their
usual amount of wins.

Prohibit Sliding
First Selectman George B. Carter
has announced that with the eXcep-
ton of three hills. sliding on the
streets will be prohibited. The three
hills allowed are Aling street In
Kefsinston. Hudson street in the
Worthington district and Mill street
in East Berlin. On the Mill street
slide. children must stop before they
arrive at Kelsey Corner.
Miss Mary T. Griswold. superin-
tendent of schools. has announced
the restrictions that have been
placed on sliding and school and
town officials request that parents
cooperate. Selcctman Carter sug-
gests that some slide be beaten down
in a vacant lot to end the constant
menace of traffic which is encoun-
tered on the highways. It is through
no desire TO curtal the children's
fun that this action Is taken but to
protect them from injury through,
automobile accidents. IF the re-
strictions are not observed the first
selcctnlan adds, it will be necessary
to stop sliding altogether.
