 | A rehearsal for the annual Christ
 mas pageant will be held Thursday
 evening at the home of Mrs. C. H.
 Johnson in Kensington. All mem-
 bers of the cas- are urged to attend. The first swell of the Christmas
 mail is being felt at the Berlin post
 office. The Kensington department
 states that 1t has not received the
 annual rush as yet but 1t Is expected | DelOTe tllc ellu Ol luc "eth. Sliding on the three hills desig-
 mated by the selectnen those to
 be used safely is receiving the atten-
 tion of coasters both young and old
 Hudson street seems to be the popu- l lar hill of the three named Boys Club Swimmers Shine The Kensington Boys club which has been bringing the bacon home ] to this place on almost every trip | abroad, brought fresh honors to
 Berlin when they returned from the county Y. M. C. A. meet held in | Torrington. Aiding. the Hartford
 county splashers to hard-earned
 wln the local swimmers took many
 places in the water meet. With the fact that the club has no pool of it's own while the other contestants for the most part own their own pools and have paid in- structors to show them the fine points of the game, all credit that can be given the youngsters is due them. Working under these diff l culties the Berlin water bugs iourneyed to New Britain where they used that city's Y. M. c. A. pool to complete their form In the tank. The only instruction that they received was given them by
 New Britain pool attendants who | kindly aided the youngsters in per fecting their form in the waters Last weeks meet at Hartford where Kensington emerged from the water victors, was shadowed only by the fact that several points were lost through incompleted form and other defects that would have
 been remedied with proper instruc- ton. With this end in view the Borlinites practiced all last week to remedy, the faults and entered the pool at Torrington with alVost per feet form.
 The individual score was as fol- lows: Junior Division | B. Clark, 70 yard back stroke, first. B. Clark, 10 yard breast stroke third
 Intermediate Division Griffith, so yard back stroke, sec ond. Kensington Relay team; Chotkowski. Malone. Isaacson and Griffith, second.
 Senior Division Gugerty. 100 yard back stroke, first. H. Clark, 100 yard breast stroke. second. H. Clark. 100 yard free style, fourth.
 Gugcrty also sWam with the Suf- field schools relay team in this divi- sion and gained about four yards on his man during the swim. It is generally thought that the club should receive more rccosni- ton from the town and from Kensington in particular than 1t has received in the past. The ranks of swimmers z have been depleted through insufficient membership which in turn has been caused by
 insufficient funds for the club, The clubs basketball team has been hampercd throughout the season because of insufficient equipment and it Is thought that q drive for funds to aid the basketball team will take place in the near future. The Senior Boys club has elected Al Greco president: Tom Pagan, secretary and treasurer and Henry Clark, vice. president.
