WILL PROBE FIRE

Committee Named to Investigate Whole Of Pulllin6 Problem
PROVISIONAL CONTRACT
Tesnpoeasy Agreement Made with New Britain-Mrs. Pedemont Dtes-Meuorsal Day Closing Toxn Clerk in Detroit-Brtefs.

At . special town meeting held last night at the Berlin town hall committee of four was elected from the floor to inquire into the cost Of the fire department and the needs Of the town and to report at . meet ing to be held July 30. They will also secure the necessary data to compare the cost of maintaining separate fire department in Berlin with that of New Britain fire pro tection under the new rates that were offered by the New Britain fire board.
 The committee elected consists of George Prentice. Adolph Schultz. K. o. Clark. and John A. Moore.
 From the time of the cancellation of the contract now in force with New Britain, which expires on June c, to the time of the meeting in July, the board of selectmen were given the power to agree to the terms of the new contract that was offered at the additional cost of t1o0. This will be in effect for an indefinite period of time. and If the special committee find that the best method of fire protection is under the terms of the contract. the entire fire protection question will have been settled. The new contract car ries the clause that it can be ended at any time with a thirty days no- tice on the part of either of the two parties.
 On the matter of insurance and mpensation the town will take the risk until the final terms are decid. cd, which will be at the July meet ing. The town may take out an in- surance policy. covering the compen- sation or it may be agreed in the contract that the town will stand back of the clause with the town funds. Until some final settlement is agreed. upon it was thought un- wise to take out policy for 50 short . time.
 There was considerable question ine at the meeting tonight concern. ing the exact power and duties ol tho committee elected to investigate the cost of the methods of fire pro- lection. Some of the voters did no' understand the fact that the com mittee was empowered to look into the matter of the total cost of thu contract offered by New Britain. in cluding the cost of insurance and thu cost of the compensation insuranc' for men or officers injured in tn, line of duty while on call and dut! in Berlin. in addition to the cost O . department in Berlin itself.

more he was not feeling we'll and
was making very hard work of his
game. He was nervous and wag
gled his clubhead over the ball as
many as 80 times before hitting.
Tommy did this at Los Angeles
in the big open championship, but
he seems to be his normal self
again and played with perfect con
fidence and ease in the Western.
Armour, incidentally. advises
me that ne will play in all Oi
the big money tournaments this
winter.
In thinking things over l have
come to the conclusion that wives
| have very great deal to do with
the success of some of the leading
, tournament golfers, and to back
this up l can state four shining ex.
amples in Mrs. Armour, Mrs. Al
Espinosa, Mrs. Bobby Cruickshank.
and Mrs. Macdonald Smith. In the
case of Mrs. Armour, Mrs. Espinosa
and Mrs. Cruickshank, they under.
stand the game so we'll that they
are able to tell faults in their hus-
bands play and between rounds
they actually do tell them.
These three follow their husbands
in practically all of their tourna-
ment rounds and watch every move
they make.
While / do not think that Mrs.
Macdonald Smith is sufficient of a
critic of golfing style to point out
mistakes to Macdonald, 1 know
that she helps greatly to get him
into the proper mental attitude.
Mrs. Armour. Mrs. Espinosa and
Mrs. Cruickshank are also a big
help in this respect. At any rate,
these are the wives who most con-
sistently attend tournaments, and
their husbands are certainly among
the most consistent prize winners.
Bobby Cruickshank left Mrs.
Cruickshank and his daughter,
Elsie, at home during the Western
Open and he told me on the train
returning to New York that he
could never play we'll unless his
wife were present. He said that
she could spot what was wrong
with his swing in a minute and set
him right.
1t is really remarkable the
way in which these wives follow
their husbands over many golf
courses, round after round, win.
ter and summer. And it is my
opinion that they have done
wonders for their husbands.
I likewise notice that all four Of
the golfers 1 have mentioned are
holding down very fine positions in
professional golf and l have an idea
that their wives have something to
do with this as we'll as with their fine
tournament play.
