not been used since the opening of
the new building on the Memorial

Gated in the new building. 1t has
been decided to start with two or
three rooms, which will have to un-
dergo general overhauling before

essary expense this year.

FEMALE WARDEN
MAKES HER PLANS
Mass. Prison Official Takes Over
Duties

Sherborn. Mass, Dec. 10 R-
Work, sunlight, color and music are
cardinal points in the system which
Mrs. Jessie D. Holder, superinten-
dent Of the state reformatory for
women in this town, applies to the
inmates.
1t was her theory of the psycho-
logical value of color in the lives Of
these women shut off from the
world that led her to set them to
work making flags during the World
War.
The women are here to use their
time, not to serve it." is the way
Mrs. Holder expresses her idea.
Cater to Women's Interests
Proceeding from belief that there
are very few women who really be-
long to the criminal class, she aims
to send her charges out at the eN-
piration of their terms in such i'm
proved mental, moral and physical
condition that they will become use
full and self-supporting. Her meth
DDS at Sherborn, the second women's
reformatory to be established in this
country, have been widely copied.
When a woman is sentenced to
sherborn she is kept apart from the
other inmates for three weeks. Dur
ing this period the reformatory Of
ficals study her character and her
interest. Then she is given the
work to which she appears best
Notwithstanding, cooking, dress
making or other duties.
Each Treated Individually
The sentences are always indeter-
inmate. Good behavior and rapid
progress in the work assigned often
lead to a parole. Each woman IL
treated as an individual. Mrs. Hod-
der stresses the need Of willingness,
perseverance, cheerfulness and team
spirit.
Every room has plenty Of fresh
air and sunlight. Photographs, pic
lures and trinkets are permitted TOR
room decoration. When the last
block of the old-time cells was torn
out it was replaced by a gymnasium
where the inmates are given regular
exercise and an opportunity Tor
games.
This retormatory was pioneer IN
providing farm and garden work for
women prisoners, which Mrs. Hod-
der considers a very important fac
tor in their development.
Music is encouraged. The women
given numerous concerts and once =
wear they produce an operetta.

The work of the carriers Is by no
means easy at this time of the year,
and it is hoped that residents will

More Snow
The many local weather prophets
who have been predicting an early
and hard winter were about today
with "I-told -you-so" expressions on
their faces and those very words In

heavy snowstorm within a week ar
rived about l o'clock this morning
and was continuing with no sign of
abatement at noon. This time the
flakes were damper and heavier
than they were last Sunday, and the
snow promised to cling tighter and
prove more lasting.
Vehicular traffic was little affect
ed by 1t, automobiles and trolley
cars keeping the snow pretty we'll
packed down as 1t fell. while the
lack of wind prevented the forma-
ton of drifts across the roadways.
The brushers of the Connecticut
Co. were at work throughout the
da'' keeping the rails clear. AL
though coming so soon after the
other storm. the present one Is just
another, because the traces Of the

CHRISTMAS SEALS
| BOUGHT BY MANY
Gratifying Response to Appeal
| Of Nursing Association
HELP FIVE LOCAL PATIENTS
Nurse Asks for Old Cloths-Leglon
Auxiliary Postpones Elections
John j. Skinner Surprised by
Friends-Briefs.

The returns from the sale of
Christmas seals have been very
gratifying thus far, according to
Mrs. Frank Usher, president of the
Plainvile Public Health Nursing
association, which is conducting the
Campaign here. About $500 has
been received to date, with more
pouring in daily. and it is hoped
that the total will go over last
years amount, which was between
$500 and 5000. The promptness OF
those to whom the seals were mailed
than SO answers having been re-
ceived within As hours Of the mail
| ing Of the seals.
V OF the amount received from
! these labels, Is per cent Is given
to the state and the other IS per
| cent retained for local work. At
present five Plainville people are
being maintained in sanatoria by
| funds received in this manner. An
example OF the good work done by
the sale Of seals Is the last case
which the association has aided in
The patient is a three-year-old girl
who Is suffering from ricketts,. She
has never been able to walk and
moves about by dragging herself
on her hands. She has now been
sent to an institution and it is
hoped by the physicians that the
treatment there will enable her tc
walk within six or eight months
The other cases are fully as pathe-
tic and worthy, and the association
with the money received from the
sale of seals, is doing wonderful
work.
The distribution Of milk In the
schools is considered a part Of tu-
| berculosis relief work. as 1t is
aimed at the correction of under
weight and undernourishment
Miss Elizabeth Heineman, the local
visiting nurse, is now weighing the
school children. When all have
been examined a report will be made
and the association will render such
aid as it can to those whose parents
are unable to help.
| At the Union church service on
| Thanksgiving Eve the collection was
for the benefit of the association and
S17.25 has been turned over from
this source. The members OF the
nursing association are very grateful
for this cooperation from the
churches and their congregation.
Miss Heineman is again asking
| for donations Of old clothes for use
as pads. Old curtains or any ma
terial which is absorbent will be
/ most satisfactory. but 1t must, Of
course, be clean.

STATE Pillow HITS
FENCE IN BERLIN
Wrecks Section Of PiCkets Front
ing Galpin Property
SPEEDING, WITNESSES SAY
Auxiliary Meeting and School ENhi-
bition Postponed Because Of Storm
Highway Commission Prepares
For Completing Road at Becklcy.

The state highway commission
continued its wrecl1ing tactics today
when a snow plough crashed
through the fence bordering the
property of Miss Ruth Galpin at
Worthington ridge and East Berlin
avenue and demolished a large Sec
ton of the picketing.
Witnesses of the accident say that
the plough turned the corner from
Worthington ridge into East Berlin
avenue at a high rate of speed and.
striking the slippery surface of the
hill, skidded into the fence.
The highway commissions We
hicles have caused much disturbance
in this place since the first snow
fall and speeding of the trucks has
been reported in many cases. Mon
day morning residents complained
that trucks We're using such speed
that the snow was being thrown
onto the walks and even as far as
house fronts, endangerng passing
pedestrians and knocking down one
youth in Kensington. Several mar
row escapes from collisions with the
ploughs We're also reported and it
was rumored that First Selectman
George b. Carter would take up the
matter with the state department.
The scene of his mornings oc-
currence is a particularly danger
Gus spot on the highway. Being al
most a blind street with no views Of
the approach to south bound traffic
on Berlin street, 1t offers a
menace to motorists and pedes-
trians. Drivers familiar with the hill
take the corner sharp in the turn
from Berlin street north bound into
East Berlin avenue. 1t has been sug-
gested that red light be installed
at the intersection for night travel
and signs of the road be posted for
the daytime traffic which is always
heavy at this spot.
While more or less skidding is ex-
pected at the corner because of the
crown of the road, local officials
state that moderate rate of speed
would remove the menace to a large
extent. Speed is needed to make the
grade into Berlin street unless the
car is in low gear, but many of the
motorists strive to make the hill
IN high and pop out onto the main
thoroughfare with only slight warn
ing of a blast of the horn. With the
difficult stopping conditions prev
alent at this time of the year and
with both Berlin street and the hill
dangerously slippery, local interests
want some move taken to subdue
the speeding in evidence each day at
the corner.
The fence which received the blow
this morning SENS i'll fated. Recently
a collision broke a section of the
fence which was repaired after a
law suit On the same night, while
the paint on the new structure was
drying an unidentified car crash
cd through at the same spot. Today's
accident marks the third occasion
within a short period of such a hap
pening.
