 When asked what she expected to do with her money. Miss Cru Der intimated that she would first take care of her parents, Philip and Anna Gruber. and the seven other children in the family. Mir.

 Mir. Medoff said yesterday that the wedding would not take place until early fall, although it was intimated in earlier reports that the date might be moved forward.

HALE OBSERVANCE

Will Be Held at South Coventry
 on September 22

Hartford, Aug. 19 LP,-Upon rec
 ommendation of Governor Trumbull,
 the Nathan Hale celebration sched-
 uled to take place in the hall of the
 house of representatives at the state
 capital on Wednesday evening. Sep
 tember 22, with Senator Hiram
 Bingham as the eulogist, is expected to be transferred to South Coventry.
 Hale's birthplace, in order that the state might combine it's program with the exercises planned by the Holland county Nathan Hale Cele- bration committee. The states committee, headed by George D. Seymour of New Haven will act on the governors suggestion at a meet ing in the formers home tonight.
 The Holland county committee in fact is proceeding with it's arrange ments for a celebration in South Coventry on the strength of the gov ernor's recommendation and has already cancelled an elaborate pageant In order to make room for the states program. A transferal of the states exercises will mean that Senator Bingham will speak in the church at South and that the program there will probably be broadcast by the radio station of the Travellers company, WTIC.
 MT. Seymour declared today that President Coolidge will pay tribute to Hale in the form of written statement which will be read and broadcast at the exercises. Mir. Sey- mour said the president has a spe- cial interest in the significance of Nathan Hale day, and that as soon as he returns to Washington from his summer lodge in the Adiron- dacks, he will prepare his meassage. l Mir. Seymour also has succeeded in having printed by the government special Nathan Hale stamp which i he said was made possible of the 1 presidents interest In Nathan Hale. |

T., Aug. 19 Pl-Jack Dempsey and his follow CTS at the White Sulphur Springs training camp near here were mak- ing preparations today to leave not later than Sunday for training quarters near Philadelphia. where the heavyweight championship bout with Gene Tunney will be held on September 2S.
 Until he leaves. however, the champion will make no change in his training activities. Visitors to the camp today noted that he went at the work with more than usual cheerfulness, and there was evident a very distinct relief at the settle ment of the tangle into which the preliminaries for the bout had fallen.
 Dempsey was up with the sun this morning, did a few miles of road work, and then came to the gymnasium to work on light bag for six rounds. This afternoon he will go through his usual workout in the ring.

ROAD COMMISSION AWARDS CONTRACTS New Highway From Berlin to
 New Britain Promised DRAINS FOR UNDERPASS
Old Resident Taken-Boys oIap Joses-Norton Estate Hearing Grange to Hold Initiation Ionlghl Other Items.

The millennium dawned for Ber-
 linites today when it was learned
 that the state highway commission
 will award contracts soon for nine
 miles of roadway that will comprise the consolidation of new network os roads out of New Britain, includ- ing a, new road from Berlin to Ne" Britain. Residents of this place nave long bewailed the present condltioh Of the road between the two towns. Four separate routes are to De re- conditioned at the cost Of appfoAl- mately s175,00o and at the same time it. is learned that steps VIII De taken to provide adequate draimns for the underpass at Berlin station in Kensington which will eliminate the flooded area that crops up at every heavy rain.
 Because of the engineering proo- lems attached to the Beach swamp road section, 1t is not believed mat work will be started on this stretch before next spring, when the roau will be resurfaced for a distance ol iva. and a half miles south from the Berlin New Britain town line to Ser lin street. This work will be an ad- ditional expense of s160,0OO.
 It is said by Highway Commission CT John A. Macdonald that it is im- practicable to repair the road satls- factorily due to the clay sun-soll that forms the base of the road and that the only solution to the prop lem is the complete rebuilding or the road. There has long been an agitation in this district for Improve ments on this road and a correction of the underpass situation. me roads in Kensington are now under going resurfacing process that should aid the motorists in that sec tion and with the new project loom ing large in the near future, resi- dents of this place have the satisfac- tion of knowing that the long battle is nearly over.
 The Beech Swamp road presents engineering problems that called for rigid investigation of the highway commission before any action was taken and it is stated that because of the natural difficulties that the road 1 offers the movement for new high way has been delayed. Being greatly used by both private automobiles and public vehicles, the highway IS in need of constant repair as the ex- terior coatings that have been laid over the old base have soon disap- peared under the poundings of an almost perpetual stream of traffic.

 John J. Graham, a lifetime resi- dent of this place, passed away at his home last evening at the age of S3 years.

O. *. the Primary

The common everyday peo-
pie decided on Tuesday that they
still wanted the primary election,
and killed the proposed amend
ment which would abolish it by
vote to the tune of about two
to one.
While it is true that too many
do not appreciate the import
ance of assisting in selecting po-
litical candidates, they did wake
up to the fact that there was
danger of losing the right, and
the result of the vote showed
they wanted to retain it.
1t is to be hoped that in the
future there will be more inter
est taken in this important mat
ter, and that the people will ex-
ercise their right of naming
those they desire to fill public

Showed Under

The half-mill levy for repair
ing and improving the street
lighting system was knocked
higher than Gilroy's kite at
Tuesdays election by about a
two to one negative vote.
This does not mean that the
people do not want a decent
street lighting system, for ma
jority of them do, but is taken
as an indication that they are
disgusted with the unsatisfac-
tory manner in which the pres
ent administration is running
municipal affairs.
The idea seems to prevail that
if more business like policy was
employed and reasonable econ
omy practiced in conducting the
city's expense account an addi-
tional tax levy would not be
deemed necessary, as there
would be a sufficient amount on
hand to proceed, without holler-
in for more.
Perhaps at later date when
things have assumed a more sat

He at last consented and pull

so effectively that he was
triumphantly elected as Record

girls too, gave him splendid sup

from the way the votes tailed
he evidently made a fairly good
