The regular monthly meeting of the town school board was held in the town court room last evening. As there were no matters of any great importance to come before the meet- Ing the members took up a discussion of the means that are being employed to keep the expenditures Within the estimated figures. The matter of an increase in sal- mries for the teachers was the princi- pal topic of the} evening but it wasg deemed advisable by the members not to take any definite action until the May meeting of the board;® The members present were unanimous in their opinion that the teachers in the town schools were entitled to an in- crease in salary in line with the peti- tlon that was presented at the last meeting. 'When the matter comes up for final adjustment at the next meet- Ing there is very little doubt but what the final adjustment will be in favor of the teachers. Miss L. A. Bassett, principal of the Kensington Grammar . school asked permission to hold a military whist idn the school for the benefit of the Red Cross society. Permission was upanimously granted by the members of the board. The final business of the . meeting was the acceptance of the billg for tuition from New Britain and Meriden and several other minor for . ones that were due for adjustment.

There was a ) vast improvement over the drill of the night before and if the men continue to show as much interest in the future {it will be but a short time before : the organization will be able to com- pete with any of the similar organiza- i tions about the state and hold their own. The group was divided up into four squads and a drill master was assigned to each squad and in this way the men were given almost in- dividual instruction im the art of marching and many of the other ele- mentary things that a soldier must { know. There will be another drill tonight for those that care to come and it is expected that every night!} | this week will be taken up in a like manner. After this week there will be two drill nights a weck but if there are any that care to come in betwecen times they Will be welcome and a dril} master provided. The nights that the mempbers at the present time are Monday /and Friday and these are the nights that will be selected. Besides the drills in the hall at night there will be drill in’the open on Satur- day afternoon and all recruits are ex- pected to attend at this time. After the work last night there was a discussion of the organization plans and it is the wish of the recruiting officers that the appointments for the company officers be sent to Hartford as soon as possible so that they may be passed on by headquarters. The | men are eager to become mustered in and receive their equipment so that they can go about the work in real military style. It was announced last night that the Colt machine gun, which was presented to the local com- pany, could be secured in'about two weeks time if the members so desired. It was also suggested that every member of the guard put an Amer- ican flag out in front of his home. Many have done this but there are still a few who have not had the time but are expected to follow the example of the others in short order. At the Churches. The meeting of the Women's Aid society wasz-held in the Red Cross room in the Berlin Congregational church today at 10 o'clock.

News HOME GUARD UNIT . IN STATE. SERVICE {Plainville Members Take- Oath! from Major Bronson ENROLLMENT NOW CLOSED Recruiting Committce Finishes Its Labors—Local Unit May Be Part of Bristol Battalion— to Learn First Aid—Goodcll for Toastmaster. ivls Closing the enrollment, having se- | cured the 150 men desired for ser- vice, the Home Guard reccruiting com- mittee, appointed by the military emergency board of the state, com- pleted it duiies last evening and the Plainville unit is now in charge of Captain J. H. Trumbull and his lieu- tenants, Peter [ Duffy and 8. 8. Gwillim. An cleventh hour rush for membership in the company brought its numerical strength up to 152 and the organization of the Plainville di- vision of the Connecticut army is now complete. The formal delivery of the pany to its commissioned officers will com- not be made until the men have more chance to drill although alithe mem- bers, with the exception of a few who were unable to be present, were mus- tered into the service last night, tak- ing the oath from Major Bronson of Hartford, commissioned by the state board to swear them in. Complying with Captain Trumbull’'s order, the men who enlisted in the unit during the past two weeks re- ported at the town hall last night and made oath to their allegiance and their willingness to serve their state against an attacking foe, placing themselves under the direction of their superiors and subject to their orders. The Plainville unit is now a full- fledged military organization and its members have almost the same status as a national guardsman. They are subject to a call for service in any part of Connecticut, although it is un- likely that they will be asked to leave the town unless trouble of a very serious character should develop in other parts of the state. ‘ After the mustering ceremony, the last squad to receive its initial instruc- tion in military manoeuvres was turned over to a drillmaster and put through the paces. They were meas- ured for uniforms and those selected to be active in the company of one hundred, which Captain Trumbull proposes to form, will ‘soon have ki suits and soldier’s equipment. 8. S. Gwilliam, E. H. Hills and P. J. Prior, constituting the recruiting committee, gave up considerable time ce their appointment to the duties assigned to them and that they se- cured results is cvidenced from the fact that probably twenty per cent of the men in the town have enlisted. Credit is also due to Dr. L. H. Frost, who gave gratuitiously his services in examining the applicants and in start- ing the medical corps which is to be a branch of the gnard. It is probable that Plainville’s unit will be a part of the battalion which will have its head- quarters in Bristol. Captain E. E. Merrill of the Bristol guard has been appointed major and he will probably be in charge of the division which will be formed in this section. Girls Learn First Aid. Fager to fit themselves to Dhe able to render assistance and to serve their country, ‘the young ladies employved in the office of the Trumbull Electric company have decided to take lessons in first aid treatment and they have made arrangements to have Dr. L. H. Frost give them instructions. They will meet each week at the home of different members. The voung ladies will have no for- mal connection ‘vith the Home Guard or other military organization, but in case of eventualities they propose to be ready to do their part. Rev. W. A. Goodell, Toastinaster. President J. H. Trumbull of the Business and Improvement. associa- tion today announced the selection of Rev. W. A. Goodell, pastor of the Methodist church, as toastmaster at the annual banquet of the orgauiza- tion to be held in the Town hall on April 25. Mr. Goodell is a capable speaker and his selection will mecdf with general approval. The committee in charge of the at- fair report a most gratifying demand for tickets, and the indications are that the attendance will be large. Drive Against Barleycorn. While the visit of Hon.

Morgan & Co. has informed government offi- cials that the experience gained as | purchasing agents for the Entente Al- lies for more than two years is at the command of the government in work- ing out the problems incident to equipping the army and enlarged navy. The firm had urged that the government throughout the remaind- er of the war, buy along with its own supplies the goods needed by the Bn- tente nations from this country. This centralization of purchases on an enormous scale, it was pointed out, would permit of large economies and at the same time enable the FEuropean buyers io take advantage of any spe- cial prices that mizht be arrived at with manufacturers. 2 In copper producing quarters doubt was cxpressed that the metal bought hereafter by the Allied nations would e sold at prices substantially under current market quotations. In fact. prominent copper men said that such a proposal had never been made by the council of natiomal defense and it Mass., | j was known that the government had ' no intention of secking the same rve- ductions for England, France, Italy and Russia as it has itself received voluntarily from the metal producers. “It would be highly unfair'to con- | sumers of copper at home” said a | leading copper man, who has been in i close touch with developments at ‘Washington since the defense council began its work, “if European buyers ; were allowed to take supplies at'low- | er prices than they were charged. If ‘low prices were set for copper,and other materials for use by the military forces why should not food be includ- ed? It is the fact that food is the most important of all the material sent abroad, vet it is perfectly clear that if the government should estab- Jish prices for flour, butter’ eggs and other necessary articles which iwere lower than quotations for the same | goods here, there would be so great a clamor that the project would quickly ‘be dropped. “The foreign buyers have always received a fair price and they will get fair prices on the purchase of copper vet to be made. It must be borne in mind that all of the order for 448,.- 000,000 pounds last autumn was by no means required for war purposes. The private manufactures' needs were covered in the huge total as the Brit- ish and French governments bought for the estimated requirements of all lines of industry in those countries. If special prices were made for for- eign manufacturers, discrimination would be displayed against the copper user in the United States.” No further details regarding the prices to be set for United States gov- ernment purchases of steel and other metals could be obtained, although various steel makers consulted over the situation. In order to expedite government. the stee] corporation has established a department at Philadelphia under the direction of the representative there of .the Carnegie Steel company. The Carnegie company has an armor plate mill and for many vears has turned out much material for the navy. The department will make available for other steel companies experience of its men on government work to the ———— e GIRLS !
