The Beech Swamp road is coming in for no little criticism these days. Automobilists who have occasion to travel over it say it is one of the worst pieces of thoroughfare in the state. Many local citizens are inclined to criticize the state highway depart- ment because of the road's condition. The matter was discussed in the win- ter and at the February town meet- ing the sum of $200 was voted as the town’s share for the repairing of the road. It is a state road and con- sequently comes under the direction of the highway department. Tt was un derstood at that town meeting, t work would be started as soon as the frost left the ground. The consensus of opinion is that the fr has gone and many ask where are the repairs.

Plans for a tag day for the benc- | fit of the Plainville Young Men's club are, now heing considered by mgn back of thie organization and it v said today that a general canvass of the town.for the purpose of raising funds tojcover the expense of getting equipment for the Town hall may be made on either Memorial day or Ju 4. Nothing definite has been decid- ed, and it is believed that the com- paign will be held up until July. Determined to make the organiza- tion self-supporting, for the first vear at least, the young men inter- ested in the movement are figuring various schemes for raising money and by the time they are prepared to begin using the Town hall as a gym- nasium they hope to have a substan- tial sum in the treasury. As evidence of their willingness to help themselves before asking others for assistance there is a plan on foot to have each of the eighty-five bovs who signed the petition for the or- ganization of the club make a per- sonal contribution to the treasury. This would give the society a nucleus on which to work, and the tag-day and other money-raising schemes would assist in its development. Conditions now existing would fir dicate that the club will not be well organized until fall when it is ex- pected classes will be formed and the | regular winter program started. i Rev. J. W. Denton, chairman of | the committee appointed to draft by- laws and confer with the selectmen regarding the use of the Town hall. has not as yet called a meeting of the members. J. L. Ahlquist, who is | a member of the committee and is | also the club director, does not cx- pect that the committee will meet un- til June, when rules will be drawn up to govern the organization. Gets Good Start. Although the weather has been dis- agreeable since the annual clean-up campaign opened on Monday, the | Business and Improvement associa- tion reports that considerable progress | has been made. This declaration wa: substantiated today when the town | teams were dispatched to the section east of the railroad crossing to gather up the refuse to cart to the dumping grounds. In front of nearly every house boxes or barrels of tin cans and rubbish were found waiting for the spotless town carts, and several loads were carted away during the morn- ing. Tomorrow the teams will move to the western section where they will collect the refuse gathered up in tle various streets in that part of the town. By Saturday it is hoped Plainville will be spic and span and will be a better and mgre healthful place in which to live. Fear Potato Blight. Recent rains and the failure of Old | Sol to shine with any regularity is | causing the farmers in this section | some apprehension and they fear that | unless there is a marked improve- | ment in the weather within the next | week the potato crop is liable to be | seriously damaged. The late arrival of Spring caused the farmers to delay longer than usual the planting of potato fields and, as the seed has been in the ground but a short time. they fear that the fre- quent rains and cold weather will cause the rotting of the plants. During the past few vears Plain- ville farmers have gone into the potato raising business on a rather extensive scale. Many of them have | invested considerable money as well | as thelr time and labor in this year’s crop and a blight would mean a big financial loss to them, To Plan Entertainment.
