Plalnville News GIVES MACHINE GUN T0 LOGAL COMPANY A F Rockwell Presents Field Piece to Plainville Home Guard MEDICAL CORPS INSPECTED Ldeutemant Frost's Division of Home Guard Complimented by Regimen- tal Major—Jail Sentence Suspended —Grangers Take Degrees, 5 Exhibiting an interest in the Plain- ville Home Guard and the activities of lacal people in connection with plans for the defending of the state from an Invading enemy, A. F. Rockwell, president of the Marlin Arms com- pany, of New Haven, has presented the town with a machine gun. The gift comes through the Rockwell- Drake company, which was recently absorbed by the Marlin corporation, and which has organized a machine gun unit of twelve men. Thie division, it is understood, will eventually affiliate with Captain J. H. Trumbill's Home Guard company, ‘The gun will be delivered here In a few days. It will be of a Colt-Marlin type with eight .extra barrels, en- trenching tools and the usual emer- gency outfit. The gun will be mounted on an auto when in the service and it is expected the use of a machine will be provided by some local citizen in- terested in the unit. The gun is of the same type that is being used on the European battle- flelds and is modern in every respect. President Rockwell's gift will be greatly appreclated by the town. Al- though he is not a resident of this place and the factory in which he is interested has m here but a short time, Mr. Rockwell has many friends in town. That he has an interest in Plainville and its activities s evi- denced from his generosity in pro- viding equipment for the machine gun division of the guard, Medical Corps Inspected. The( medical division of the Home Guard had its initial official inspec- tion last evening, Major Lyman of Hartford, senior officer of the First regiment in which the Plainville, Hartford, New Britain and Bristol companies belong, coming here to examine this division. Major Lyman outlined the regulations of the corps and the duties of the members in time of war. He complimented the company on. the enthusiasm shown | and the progress made in first aid; work. The officers of this branch of | the company have been approved as follows: Lieutenant, Dr. L H. Frost; | sergeant, first class, Gage Kent; cor-| porals, George A. Case and Henry' ‘Bonne: i The local corps is to be known as the Plainvilie section of the Hartford | medical attachment which has its headquarters in Hartford. ‘With the addition of the medical: corps and the machine gun division to the Plainville company the town's rep- resentation in the Home Guard regi- ment should make an excellent show- lng The tgwn is considerably ahead ¢ Amost otMer places in the progress mnda in developing an organization | for home defense and the members| of the guard are working earnestly to; make the Plainville division the crnck’ company of the regiment. Jail Sentence Suspended, Suspending ‘the exccution of a! thirty-day jail sentence on payment of | the cost of prosecution, Justice A. H., Condell granted the appeal of Thomas Ogell of New Britain for lnothel” chance to reform yesterday -twrnoon when the accused appeared before | him on a charge of intoxication. Odell has been in court in New; Britain on a number of occasions and Justice Condell was not inclined to have much sympathy for him. The accused made such a strong appeal for clemency, hawever, that he agreed to put him on probation. Relatives secured his release from custody by paying the expense of prosecution. Grangers Take Degrees, ! Nine candidates received the third and fourth degrees at the bi-monthly meeting of the Grange held last even- fing. There was a large attendance, including a number of Grangers from other tawns. The degrees were exem- plified in excellent fashion.

Commissioner James Simpson is opposed to the proposition and will vote against it when it {s brought up at the board and it was reported this morning that at least one of the other two members will act similarly. The company wants its numerical strength increased, according (to the vote taken at its last meeting, in or- der that its efficiency may not be im- | paired when their ranks are depleted by the call ‘to military service. - Commissioner Simpson argues that it would be saddling an unnecessary ‘ expense on the town to have a larger membership in the company. It is his opinion that the time to appoint new members is when the vacancies actually oceur, and he contends that the addition of new firemen at this time would be a premature step. He is also strongly opposed to the placing on the reserve list of the de- partment members who become affil- jated with the Home Guard and he will - probably have this matter brought up when the company’'s com- mittee meets with the commission- ers, ~ Trust Company As Agent.
