Mr. and Mrs. Shaw have three daughters, Mrs. H. H. Damon, Mrs. Harry Hodge and Miss Olive Shaw, who is the assistant town clerk. Mr. Shaw was the recipient of many congratulations from his numerous friends today. Scouts Go on Hike. Despite the hard rain early this morning the local troops of Boy Scouts were on hand bright and early for their promised hike and rather than disappoint the boys Rev, S. A. ‘Fiske went through with the proposed plans. The scouts assembled at the church provisioned and equipped for an all day hike but the equipment was left at the church with the under- standing that the boys were to return there for dinner. The hike took the 'party down the main highway toward Meriden and after a five or six mile walk they returned to the church Wwhere the dinner was cooked. The remainder of the afternoon was spent in story telling and various scout games. Hold Private Dance. A private dance was held in the Grange hall 1ast night and one of the most enjoyable events of the season was reported by those that attended.

Foresters Hold Auction. Members of the Foresters gathered in their hall on Farmington road last night where a novelty in the form of an’auction was held. Two chickens were put up and after keen bidding were awarded to John Hannon and William Dooley. The second part of the evening was taken up by the read- ing of a paper By Lecturer John Fitz- simons on “Forest fires In the state and what is being done to prevent them.” The paper was prepared by the state fire warden and contained a very interesting account of the methods now employed by Connecti- cut to prevent them. There are many forest fires in the state each year which result in thousands of dollars damage and within the last few years the state has done much ‘to cut down this annual loss. At the next meet- ing Mr. Fitssimons will give a talk on the rural free delivery. ‘Will Build New Factory. The Buckley Macaroni company, which is at present located in an old schoolhouse near the American Paper Goods plant, is making prep- arations for the erection of a new plant on the braneh/track of the N Haven road which runs to New Brit- ain. Just how large a place will be erected has not beemn announced but for the start a one-story brick build- ing will be used. This company is one of the fastest growing in the town and its‘business has increased rapidly during the past year.

HOLCOMB MAY ATTEND Banquet to Be Served on April 25— Preparedness and Loyalty to the Flag the Sentiment of the After- Dinner Speeches. With the selection of at least two of the speakers who are expected to enliven the post prandial program, President J. H. Trumbull advised the directors of the Business and Im- provement association at their April meeting last evening that the plams for the annual banquet to be held in the Town hall on April 25 are de- veloping in most satisfactory fashion. Interest in the arrangements indicates that there will be a large attendance and that the banquet will be recorded in the annals of the organization as one of its big successes. Preparedness and loyalty to the flag’ during the conflict in which the coun- try is about to enter will be the theme of, the after dinner speeches and the banquet will have a number of attend- ing features of a patriotic character. The men who will give the principal addresses were selected not only for their oratorical-Powers but for their particular fitness to preach the doc- trine of patriotism. Rev. Irving Berg of Hartford, who is to respond to a toast, is chaplain of the First Infantry of Connecticut. He was with the troops at Nogales and is greatly inter- ested in military affairs. Another speaker will be Robert T. Butler, also of Hartford. Mr. Butler had charge of the state military census recently completed. He is rated as an excel- lent speaker. ‘While the toastmaster thas not as yet been secured it is likely that Rev. W. A. Goodell, odist church, will be invited to serve in that capacity. An effort will be made to get Gov- ernor Holcomb to attend as the guest of honor. Plainville regards His Ex- cellency almost as a native son and his presence at a public affair in Plainville is desired for personal rea- sons as aell as for the office he rep- resents. To make the banquet take on a mil- itary compléxion the committee is considering a plan of having a divi- sion of the Plainville unit of the Hoj guard attend in uniform. Old Glory ‘will be prominent in the decorations. There will be other features to remind the diners of their country and the duty they owe it in these critical times, \ Drop Pavement Plan.. Owing to the probable increase in the appropriation for the addition to the Broad street schoolhouse, the directors of the association, have prac- tically decided ags inst recommending a plan for the town co-operating with the Connecticut company and the highway commissioner in the exten-- sion of the permanent pavement area. The state and trolley company is to lay a stretch of amlesite during the summer from the center to the point on Whiting street where the trolley tracks turn from the highway to the Connecticut company’s property. The town decided against contributing to have the pavement extend from curb to curb, owing to the cost, but the Business Men’s association took up consideration of the suggestion that the pavement be made the full width of .the highway from the center to Broad street, the money for the ad- ditional expense to be taken from the town treasury. The scheme was considered prac- ticable unti] it was learned that more foney will have to be ,Spent for the schoolhouse addition than was origin. | ally planned. If the town increases the appropriation to $19,000, as is gen- erally expected, the directors believe the pavement improvement will have to be put off this year. Want Double Frack FExtended. Manager Beardsley of the Connec- ticut company has received the peti- tion of Plainville commuters for the completion of the stretch of double tracks between Plainville and New Britain. He proposes to send it to the New Haven office, suggesting him- self that an appropriation for the work be made. From the Trumbull factory to the Electric field there is but a single track and for the improvement of the service and the safety of the public local commuters believe the company should take steps to have the work done this year. Poverty has been offered by the officials’ as the company’s excuse for failing to make this much desired improvement. There is hope enter- tdained here, however, that the com- muters’ petition and the recommen- dation of the local manager may bring results. “America, Here’'s My Son.” Accompanied by his mother, Wal- ter Forshaw of Mountain View called at the post office today to make ap- plication for enlistment in the navy. The boy is un age and the con- sent of his par is necessary be- fore he can be accepted.. His brother is in Uncle Sam’s service as a sea- man and he told the postmaster of his willingness to contribute his mite towards the defense of the flag. His mother didn’t raise her boy to be a soldier but she would have him do his duty and she gave her ap- proval to his application for enlist- ment. g} 140 'in Guard.
