The City of New Britain was named defendant in two lawsuits today, one arising from personal in jury alleged to have resulted from a fall into an unprotected eACava- ton, and the other from damages claimed to have been caused by a change in street grade.

The con- plaint, drawn by Attorney Donald Gaffney, sets forth there were no guards and no warning signals to protect pedestrians from falling into the ditch, a distance of four feet.
 Damages of s5.ooo are asked by MT. and Mrs. Stanley Gorski who claim their property on Alden street has deteriorated to the extent of S4. 900 because the street grade was raised. They set forth that no hear ing was held to award them damages and they have received nothing to compensate them.

DOG PoISoNER ABROAD

Within the past two weeks near
ly a dozen dogs have died in Sank
Centre the result of strychnine
poisoning, most agonizing death.
One of the real touching things
of life is to see the evidences of
love displayed by a dog not for
his master, but particularly for
the children of the family, always
whole heartedly reciprocated
how any human being can be so
heartless as to wantonly destroy
that loved and loving creature is
beyond the ken of right thinking
people. 1t may be useless to APP
peal to such a wretch to stop his
murderous deeds, but g mo- means
will be spared to discover his
identity, and such punishment as
the law provides will be applied. :

KIDDIES CAN WORK
FOR THEIR SCHOOL
Herald Will Give Away
Play Ground Appliances
in Campaign
CONTEST STARTS OCT. /
County Supt. VIM. Boerger
Indorses Plan-Commis-
sions and Seven Prizes

The modern school recognizes a
child's instinct for play. Scarcely
school can be found in the larg-
er districts which is not surround
ed with things that are in sympa-
thy with the child's desire for
play, and the Sank Centre Herald,
in launching its Playground Sub
schiption contest among the schools
in thi sterritory which begins Sat-
urday, Oct. 1, is doing so with the
thought in mind of assisting the
making the school Fairgrounds
more interesting, and in spending
the money necessary to keep up
its circulation, in a way that will
be of benefit to many of the school
children throughout the commun-
ity.
In this Playground-Subscription
Contest there is a lesson in thrift
for every school pupil in the
community. The pupils in the
school winning the prizes offered
in this contest will realize that
they have earned the prizes for
themselves instead of having them
bought by the school boards, and
that they have saved this expense
by their own efforts. They will
have learned the value in the COM
bination of initiative, Imagination,
and purpose, as well as being able
to provide for their own enjoy
ment, and their experience will be
the means of saving many of the
school boards the expense of pur-
chasing playground apparatus.
Numerous schools throughout
the community have already en-
rolled in this popular contest, and
it is expected that many more will
be entered by the time the con-
test actually gets started. If
enough of the schools show interest
in the contest, and success is
made of the affair this year, it will
be continued from year to year so
that all schools will have an OPP
portunity to earn one of the grand
prizes offered.
The Herald is spending consid-
OA0OAO iloiiCy IIOIH It's SuUSCFlp-
ton income in the distribution of
these playground prizes among
the schools, and in return it ex-
poets to maintain a larger and bet
ter circulation throughout the
surrounding territory. The prizes
will be distributed to the winners
according to the rules of the con-
test found elsewhere in this pa
per, and there is nothing to pre-
vent any school, large or small,
from winning one of them. Our
plan is in harmony with the econ
omy program being sponsored
among many of the schools, as the
playground prizes will be distrib-
uted Through the cooperation of
the pupils and teachers in the var
ious schools, and without any cost
whatever to the school boards.
