Berlin News GANVASSERS ARE - COMPLETING WORK Berlin Expected to Send Over 1,000 Names to Hartford LYCEUM MEETS HMONDAY Grange Dance a Success—At the Vari- ous Churches Over Sunday—Paper Goods Bowlers Win Three Gamcs From the Construction Team. According to the men in charge of the census taking the work should be completed within a very short time as there are only a few odds and ends that remain to be cleaned up by the special squad of nineteen men. Prac- tically all of the factory results are in and with the exception of some of the remote rural districts that section is about completed. Word has been re- weived from East Berlin that the cen- sus in that section has been completed and most of the names have been sent to Selectman W. I. Alling, who has charge of the work. To date 400 or ¥500 names have been forwarded to the state enumerators at Hartford and it is expected that the town will total _well over a thousand names altogether. Every one of the nineteen men ap- pointed to canvass the town have en- tered into the work. with enthusiasm ana have covered their territory quic ly and thoroughly as the real work w: not started until last Saturday after- noon. A great deal of the work of the canvassers had to be done at night or turday or Sunday, and this fact delayed matters somewhat. The lists ‘yontain the name of every person in the town liable for military duty above sixteen years of age. If they have been skipped during the canvass it would be well for them to notify Se- lectman W. 1. Alling so that the blank can be attended to. Lyccum Debate Monday. Next week’s meeting of the Kensing- ton Men's Lyceum will be held in the Kensington Congregational church on Monday evening. The question for de- bate follows: “Resolved, That a sy } tem of profit-sharing, by which em- ployees should share the profits of their industry, ought to be in general use.” C. F. Lewis and B. P. Moore will argie the affirmative while the ‘negative will be upheld by William ! Emerson and Joseph L. Wilson. The March meeting of the Lyceum will. be held on the twelfth, at which | will read a ving Plan Stevens paper on { Manhood.” imeeting the question for debate will be: “Resolved, That the United States should be ready to adopt with other nations the plans of the League for Enforcing Peace.” The affirma- tive side will be upheld by E. O. Dean and Henry Moore, and the negative by Rev. Carleton Hazen and Earle B. Lewis. . Another Successful Dance. Members of the Grange held an- other of their series of popular dances in their hall on Farmington road last night. There was a fine attendance of both local and out-of-town people and all agreed that it was one of the most | successful dances they had ever at- tended.

ECONOMY IN BUSINESS The modern way of paying by check has been one of the greatest aids to business progress. It means the right kind of economy to pay by check. ‘ Checking accounts large or small, are cordially invited. Plainville Trust Co. PLAINVILLE, CONN. Hours 9 a. m. to 3 p. m.

Than 500 Blanks NEITHER SINGLE OR MARRIED Plainville Man Furnishes Riddle as to His Social Status—Fire Department | Called Out for Chimney Blaze— | Preparcdness for Coping With Fires. | Personal canvass of a mumber of! homes in town will probably be re- quired to complete the war census or- dered by the legislature, reports from the factories and stores thus far re- celved by the selectmen giving the re- quired information from less than five hundred of the inhabitants, The census workers in the shops secured reports from the employes of the various departments without much trouble and returned them to the se- lectmen who in turn have forwarded them to Hartford where a state com- pilation is being made. Basing their estimates on the re- sults in other places in the state the selectmen, believe that there are close to one thousand people in Plainville who are expected to report thraugh the census workers. Less than fifty per cent. have been heard from al- though the canvass of all the factories seems to be about complete. Conse- quently it will be necessary to go over the voting list and the directory to get names for guides to the enumerators. Inumeration concerning’ a number of men will be secured by outside enumerators, a large. percentage of Plainville people being employed in other towns. They will be asked to fill out blanks furnished to them the factories where they work and in Hartford these will be assorted and placed with the returns from Plain- ville. Badges for the use of the workers were recelved today by Selectman Johnson and were distributed among the men who have volunteered to give their services. Plenty of assistance has been guaranteed the selectmen and there should be no reason why the census from Plainville should not be as complete as that from any other place in the state. The manufacturers have promised to give whatever aid they can and they have already ren- dered valuable assistance by getting the reports from their help. Curifous answers to some of the questions have been found on many blanks but the prize for the strangest reply goes to the man who declared that he is not single, not married and not a widower. The selectmen are wondering just what is his status and what classification he will be pla("_‘ll in when the divisions are made in Hartford. Episcopal Rector Ilome. Rev, R. H. Burton, rector of the Church of Our Saviour, returned home today after an absence of several weeks during which he visited rela- tives in New Orleans. Mrs, Burton accompanied him on the trip.

Plainville was furnished with some excitement yesterday afternoon when the sounding of the fire whistle, call- ing out Chief M. A. Norton and his men, gave the inhabitants fear that | the firebugs who successfully operat- -d in New Britain had perhaps turned their attention to this town. The alarm was sent in, however, for a chimrey fire for which a pyro- maniac could hardly be held respon- sible. The blaze was at the home of i"rank Royce on Webster street. The chimney was so choked with soot that when the fire was started the smoke backed up into the house and drove | th: inmates from the building. The | firemen responded in quick time to the call and they had little trouble in extinguishing the blaze. The dam- age was trifling. No for Preparedness.
