Tael. the tonight in Plans for -Lyoceum is || the Home 'Guard. demonstrate ' thefr patriotism, plans are being made for the raising of a fund by them to enable their Tepre- sentatives to purchase a flag- to be donated to the Plainville company of dies interested in_the ‘surgical dressings work have taken ‘the initiative in the matter and have appointed Mrs: 8. S. Gwillim and Mrs. Charles R. Clark to serve as & committee in getting the movement started. That all might have a chance tg help and have a financial interest in the donation it is proposed to have only ‘small contributions made. and every woman in the town is invited to give a small amount. The children may also take part and they will be invited to donate pennies which they ordinarily might spend for candies toward the cause of patriotismi. Contribution boxes will be placed at Ryder’s and James' stores _tomor- row and donations towards the flag may be placed in them. All arganizations composed of women will be asked to participate in the campaign and each will probably name a member to serve as a com- mittee in getting the others interested, Small donations, particularly those made by the children at personal sac- rifice, will be even more welcome than large contributions as they will.be in keeping with the spirit which is to characterize the raising of the fund. It is proposed to have the campaign close in time to permit.of the presen- tation of the flag to the company be- fore Memorial Day. The women of the town, practically all of 'whom have some member of their family or a near relative in the Home Guard, are’ expected to receive the announcement of the plan of pre- senting the company with a flag with considerable enthusiasm. There will be no house to house campaign and all contributions will probably ' be made without personal solicitatian, those who wish to donate through their respective societies giving their mite to the organization’s committee while others will sybscribe through the medjum of the collection boxes at the storls above mentioned. ‘While contributions.from men will be accepted, it is proposed to have the flag the gift of the women and chil- dren and men who desire to help the cause should make their donations through the feminine or young mem- bers of their families. Thercommittee has already received $38 in small contributions and it is ex- pected that within a day or two a con- siderable amount will be on hand. In the event of the existence of a surplus of cash after the flag has been pur- chased, the women will probably turn over the balance to the surgical dress- ings organization. In the plan now beidg developed Plainville women will have a splendid chance to show their interest in.the nation’s welfare during her hour of stress and it i1s not likely thlt they will be found wanting. Youth Violated thdon. John Dobruck of New Britain was arrested last night by the police of that city at the request of the locat authorities. The young man Wwas brought here this morning by Con- stable Marino who will present him to Justice Condell for examination.

Blinded by the gl of a headlight on an approaching machine, the driver of a large motor van owned by the Lenox Transfer company of New York, lost control of the steering wheel early last evening and his car skidded into the djtch, eventually toppling over on the roadside. The driver and: his'two helpers, who were in' the van a$ the time, stuck to their places and escaped uninjured. The van, which is a veritable house on wheels, was returning to New. York after having delivered a load of fuf- niture in Bristol. It was taken from the ditch this morning, the use of a derrick being required to get it in an upright position. It was not badly damaged.
