Deals Hard Blow
At Fall Pageant
Avenue Hotelmen's AssOcia-
ton Demands Change in
Management
WITHDRAW .COMPLI-
MENTARY AID

Complete change of management,
together with the injection of new
ideas for the fall pageant, will be
urged upon the City Commission by
the Avenue Hotel Association, ac-
cording to resolutions adopted by
that body. Max Grossman, hotel
man, banker and chairman of the
Municipal Research League, led the
attack on the pageant, pointing out
that the beachfront hotels have de-
cided to discontinue complimentary
accommodations for entrants in the
beauty contest and their chape-
rones.
"This item" said Grossman, "am-
cunts to about $4,000, which will
have to be shouldered by the future
producers of the pageant. There is
an accumulated deficit of something
like $4,000 when we take into
consideration the $4,000 now out
standing on notes in local banks
and the $4,000 given BY the city
last year.
''If the pageant is to be continued
at all, in any form, a change is
management should and must be
made. If we are going to continue
the same humdrum spectacle that
has become SO monotonous with
repetition we will lose whatever
patronage is now attracted by the
event. Personally l favor histor-
ical pageant, to be changed each

ington Ridge with wide frontage, the property runs back for three quarters of mile and includes cul- tivated land from spacious lawns to beautiful woodlands.
 The home itself is an example of brick colonial construction, recently erected in a spot ideally located for that type of building. Combined with the colonial air of the maple bordered street. its we'll groomed grounds and spacious sunlit build ings provide an enviable example of the home owners dream.
 Mir. Prentice recently purchased two deer from State Commissioner Titcomb, buck and doe. The doe fell prey to a pack of roaming hounds but the buck still enjoys the comparative freedom of the run provided for it. It is very tame and wrestles with Mr. Prentice. kisses visitors. jumps over obstacles on command and eats from the hand of it's owner. One caution must be ob- served while romping with the deer. the owners pointed out. When the animal has his full set of horns, it is not safe to allow it to be too play fus as beast posses sharp antlers which are dangerous although the deer itself means no harm in toss ing them towards the visitor. At this time of the year the buck has lost it's horns. an annual proce- dure. Later the horns will bud and branch out. first being covered with velvet" which will later fall off and leave the regular antlers.
 Unlike most similar estates, Mir Prentice has left the greater part of his woodland property unchanged by landscape artists. The natural roll of the land presents a view to the residents of the house which would be difficult to duplicate through any natural agencies.

PALMETTO PALMS GROW IN BERLIN
Only Trees of Kind in New Eng.
 land at Prentice Home

Motorists along the main highway through Berlin have expressed ad- miration concerning the two palm trees planted recently in the front lawn of the estate of George E. Prentice of Worthington Ridge, president of the Prentice Mfg. Co.
 According to Mir. Prentice the two palms, which are of the palmetto variety, are the only two specimens of the plant in New England. the nearest being located in the botani- cal gardens at the Bronx Zoo. He had the palms expressed from the Royal Palm Gardens of Oneco. Florida. and at present they are To- cated on each side of the doorway to the colonial mansion which faces the main highway.
 The palmettos. when they have obtained their full growth, are ex- pected to measure some 60 feet in height and will shape similar to an umbrella. the fronts. curving over the trunk as the growth continues. At present the plants arc "in the bud" the frond having been clipped for shipment. They stand about IT feet high, both almost identical ex- cept in the weight of the plants, one tipping the beam at 735 pounds and the other weighing $40 pounds. The trunks are approximately s feet in circumference and are scaled similar to a pineapple. Later. Mr. Prentice stated, the scales will drop off as the growth continues and the trunk will be smooth.
 Both plants have surprisingly small roots. the extent of their grasping tendrils being a fine hair like clump of roots which does not extend beyond the circumference Of the trunks. Not much of the na- tural soil of the palm is therefore necessary, and the plants have been provided with the necessary amount transported from their native ele- ment. Mir. Prentice added that the palms are hardy and he Is confident that they will obtain their full growth with the proper care which he expects to afford them.
