 Upson's Corner Dangerous
 A prominent official in Berlin. in g conversation with a Herald re- porter, severely criticized conditions at Upson's corner and declared that it. was a menace to public safety and especially to the school children.
 The opinion of this official seems 10 be but a repetition of the general opinion of the residents in Berlin as a whole. The corner has come to be known as ono of the most danger ous curves in the state and the num- Der of accidents that occur there is proof of this. On Easter Saturday evening two serious accidents and a near accident occurred within 15 minutes. Within the last six weeks seven persous have been admitted to the New Britain General hospital to undergo treatment for injuries re- ceived in accidents at the corner. The new highway has become a racetrack with many cars going from and towards New Britain with little regard for the speed limit. Some sweep around Upson's corner with the reckless abandon of a racer on his last lap.
 The town official stated that people cannot begin to realize the constant danger and the narrow es- capes that people, especially school children, are having in passing the corner. The children are naturally more or less careless and the official says that every day witnesses some close escape from accidents by the as they pass the corner on their way to school.
 Added to the dangerous condition of the corner in regard to speeding. the condition of tho road adds to the dangerous aspect of it. The highway at this point is literally GOV cred with large crushed stones which Ea,o been washed out of the roads
