Mass, AM for three years a member
of the Springfield Visiting Nurse AS
sociation has been chosen to act as
visiting Nurse for this town, it was
announced today by Mrs. Henry
Hooker chairman of the committee
which had care of the appointment.
Recommended by the Connecticut
State Board of Health and with ex-
perince in nursing and war record
that shows full service in the nurs-
ingfeld throughout the late war, the
committee regards itself as fortunate
in acquiring her services.
Miss Daily visited the town last
saturday and looked over the field Of
her future work. Accompanied by
members Of the visiting nurse COM
1iittee, she met First Selectman
deorge B. Carter and other officials
If the town and sought out suitable
headquarters for the coming year.
Miss Daily will begin her work on
January 8, 1927, and it is hoped that

pointed from the visiting nurse COM
nlttee will have found a desirable
place for a headquarters for the
young lady.
The announcement Games at the
end of an extensive investigation by
members of the board in an effort to
find a suitable applicant for the po-
sition. Several applications were
considered by the board and elimina-
ton on certain points accepted the
Massachusetts girl as the natural
possessor Of the job. AS Miss Daily

in western Massachusetts she is well
acquainted with the inner workings
of a town the size of Berlin.
1t is not known just what will be
the location of the nurses head

place will be in Kensington and in
close touch with Health Officer DR..
Roger NJ Grsiwold. who will have
an indirect supervision over the
workings of tho nurse.

SEWARD BAKERY |NsTALLs VERY LATE MODERN
 ELECTRIC MACHINE
GEORGE SCHMITT, PROPRIETOR OF ESTABLISHMENT, MAKES
 BIG INVESTMENT

Once again another local business house steps to the front ranks oi leading business institutions of the Territory; this time, the Seward Bak cry. For with the recent acquisition of two of the most modern of electri- cal bakery machines the Seward Bak- cry is unexcelled in Alaska with the exception of bakery in Ketchikan, in which city a much greater popula- tion is found. George Schmitt, pro- prietor of the blishment, can we'll be proud to conduct visitors through his bakeshop, a marvel of cleanliness and modernism.
 Just a few days ago he had install led Century Machine Go. cake and light dough mixing machine that per- forms tasks that previously took hours of wearisome toll; also a large bread mixing machine which turns out vari- ious breads such as mother makes. Both machines, electric in operation, are in white enamel, and operate very quietly at any speed. The mach ines are so constructed that if Mir. Smith so desired he could purchase additional attachments and almost run sawmill. They are the very latest in baking machines and, ap- parenty quite simple in operation. The electric dish washer is not a recent purchase, nor is the bread wrapping machine, however, with the new equipment the shop proper now serves the purpose of not only creat- ing a tremendous saving in physical labor, but tends to give to the Seward Bakery's many patrons, an increase in variety of freshly baked goods.

Want New Railing Set
 Around Civil War Elm

Civil war veterans and others
 have expressed considerable concern
 over the fact that the iron railing
 surrounding the Grand Army Elm
 at Walnut Hill park, has been brok-
 en, presumably by an automobile.
 It was stated today by member or
 the Grand Army that the railing was damaged some time ago, judg- ing by appearances, but that noth-
 ing has been done toward repair ing 1t.
 Several residents have called at
 tention to the condition of the rail and have said that it is disgrace to the city that such condition should
 he allowed to prevail. The broken rail detracts considerably from the beauty of the section of the park in which the tree stands and 1t IS felt that out of respect to veterans of the Civil war, in whose memory the tree was planted over 50 years ago, the rail should be either repaired or replaced by new one. In It's present state it lends an unkempt appearance 10 me usudllS "th hVPt triangle upon which the tree stands.
 Probably few people pause to note the legend on the tablet which. imbcddcd in a large boulder, may , be seen near the tree. It states that the tree was planted in memory of those who gave their lives in the Civil war and it is a living tribute to the Boys of '61-'65. The elm is large and magnificent.

COP IS GOOD SAMARITAN
 TO JUVENILE TOILERS
"Joc" Kennedy Goes to Their Res cue When WaSnload of Wood
 Spills on Pavement.

Two little chaps, neither one or them more than eight years old, passed through the heavy traffic on Main street this morning, industri- ously tugging at wagon, upon which were piled many heavy plank. destined for the family woodbox. The wood was piled hlgh and the boys were succeeding in the transportation of the heavy load
 And then they reached the corn CT of Church street and Main, where Traffic Officer Joseph Kennedy, he of the perpetual smile. directs the tide of automobiles and trucks. The boys started to cross Church street, but something happened and the wagon turned over, scattering the lumber in the street.
 To the rescue went Officer Ken redy. He piled himself to the task jndustriously, noting the distress ot the little fellows who would have been in a sorry position if the genial policeman had not helped them out. After the wagon was righted, the wood was piled upon it and the hoys were sent on their way. Mean while the officer resumed his place the street intersection, his counten- ance slightly flushed but wearing grin, just a bit broader than before.

THREE OF fl TRAPPED
 MINERS BELIEVED DEAD
Crews Working Frantically to Rescue Workers Caught In
 Michigan Slide.

Ironwood, Mich, Sept. ~ Pl- Crews of miners worked frantically today in an effort to reach 41 men, three of whom are believed to be dead. entombed in the c. Pabst iron mine by a slide of rock and earth which choked the shaft. Three mine electricians who were on the cage, are believed to have been crushed to death when the mass of boulders and earth fell from the entry side and crashed down the 45 degree angle 2,60O foot shaft, sweep ing before it steel supports and the cage to the bottom. The other 3S men were at work on the eighth drift when the crash came shortly before noon yesterday. The slide filled the shaft above their level, thus cutting off escape.
 Men in charge of the rescue work today were unwilling to predict that
 more than three men had been | killed.
 Although there is no drift con- meeting with the eighth level, the only entrance of which is through r. the main shaft, the trapped men would not be in great peril, for a humber of hours, mining company
 officials said, unless they endeavored | to escape through the shaft and were
 crushed by fresh slides. There is no danger from water or
 gas and the possibility of death by
 suffocation is extremely remote,
 mine officials said.
 Hope was expressed that those on
 the eighth drift would be reached by this afternoon.

An appeal for aid is made today to the public of Nv Britain by the Red Cross.
