Tax Duc-NIueicalc in East Berlin I'riday-Court Tonight,

The dental clinic. now being con ,Iucted at the Warrington school in charge of Dr. A. Zwick of New Britain. has taken care Of most 0. inc children in that district and ;d the first of the year will be movcd 10 the Kensington grammar school,
 For the past few months 1t has school and the children from the surrounding districts of the town have been sent to il. It was plan- ned originally to have the clinic cS- tabliShed in two places in the town, one in the Warrington school and the other in the KenSington school. With the close of the year the dis trict around the Warrington school nas been taken care of. This dis trict includes children from East Berlin and Bccklcy and all of Ser lin.
 The clinic, to be moved by the first of the year in the kenSingt OF school. will take care of all chjI drcn living in that part of the town and will probably be held until lac in the spring some time.
 The clinic is something new in Berlin. IL was thought advisable 70 create ono in town in an attempt 10 check up on the teeth of the children. The work put into this field this year is extensive prmar- fly because the teeth Of the children have never before undergone sucH treatment. and the work for the years 10 come will be lcsscncd ac~ cordinSly.
 The Connecticut company has Of fcrcd to better it's service 10 Berlin by the addition of anotho, bus dur ing the rush hour in the evening. The regular bus will leave at ,: as usual, and two or three minutes later another will leave the center, also for Berlin. This is an attempt on the part of the company to an- swer criticism hoard within the past few weeks regarding the service. Superintendent William J. Bryan of the Connecticut Co. announced today llldt lIlc lltN Stl NlNc MI b| oiItIliN ' shortly.
 Whether or not this will relieve the congestion regarding Meriden residents is a matter of conjecture. The additional bus is to go as far as Hudson street and will take care of Berlin residents. but there has been trouble in the past regarding Merl- den residents. No express buses will be operated this year, 1t was learned. Formerly an express was run to Ja- coh's corner and there was q great deal Of confusion CauS' :. People getting on the bus would disregard the warning of the drivers and some times be taken beyond their stop. At that time it was felt by the com- pany that this method was the only solution of the problem The new plan advanced by the superintendent: will be tried out and it is though, that it will prove sltisfa, ory.
