In conformity with orders issued by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad the cement curb at .the edge of the platform at the sta- tlon has been moved back four and one-half inches. The work was started three davs ago by a gang ofl five workmen under the supervision of Foreman Daly. The job entailed considerable work as it was necessary to dig into the ground the depth of the curb which was over four feet and the excavation was in the neigh- borhood of two feet in width. The orders issued by the railroad will af- fect other towns in the state among them being Wallingford and Meriden. The platformi at Meriden, which is built entirely of concrete, will have to be taken up in order to complete the work. Fixing Road. The work of putting on a top dress- ing on Damon Hill road is still con- tinuing under the supervision of First Selectman W. I. Alling. The mixture used consists of fine crushed stone and heavy oil.

To ignore psychology, to decry sen- timent, to strangle emotion— this is to court defeat. Armament and mach- inery and strategic planning won’t win this war there must be behind them a nation with a quickened spirit and a soul on fire. Those things will come. Meanwhile the people must be prepared for man- mfactured alarms; whenever a new draft or a big bond issue is in pros- pect the stimulant of fear will be ap- plied—and that is the exemption of the present campaign of pessimism. No rational American will under- estimate the colossal task that con- fronts the nation. But though condi- tions are serious they are not worse than they have been for months, and the people should not let their judg- ment be unseated by official procla- mations of woe. ! ing as clerk. Plainvilie News {MANY DOCTORS WILL MAKE EXAMINATION Twenty-seven Practitioners Vol- untegr §ervices for Tomorrow MORE CLERKS ARE NEEDED Oandidates for Conscription ‘Army from Berlin and Southington, in Addition to Docal Young Men, Will Report at Town Hall Saturday. Twenty-: < nteered their services in connection with the ex- amination of conscription eligibles in Southington, Berlin and Plainville to be held in the town hall tomorrow, when three hundred registrants will report to undergo the physical test and to file their claims for exemption from military service, if they have any. After several days of recruiting -Stanley S. Gwillim, appointed by the exemption board to get physicians and clerks, announced this morning that his efforts had met with most encour- aging success and there is reason to believe that tke entire three hundred candidates will be given a physical ex- amination before tomorrow night. Because of the large number of doc- tors who have volunteered their serv- ices, Mr.. Gwillm said today that about six more clerks can bé used. He seeks the services of men over thirty-one and under twenty-one years of age to aid the physicians in the clerical work attending the examina- tions. Men who can give but part of the day to the task will be welcomed, as they can serve to relieve other volunteers. Drs. Reeks and Mann of New Brit- ain have agreed to attend to the mat- ter of providing scales and other equipment required by the physicians. Dr. Mann will bring apparatus for eye tests and he will specialize in testing the sight of the candidates. ‘They have arranged to spend the en- tire day in the town building, where the examinations will be given. Many of the other doctors have agreed to give up considerable time to local work, while others will be able to serve but a few hours. The exemption board, which is made up of Herbert Knox Smith of Farmington, B. I. Miller of Avon, and Dr. T. G. O’Connell of Bristol, will be present during the day to spass on claims for exemption and-to super- vise the work of examining the candi- dates. The examinations will begin in the morning at 8:30, continuing until noon. After a brief recess for lunch- eon, the physicians and clerks will re- turn at 1:30 and from.that time on will continue at their respective tasks until all the young men who present themselves are passed on as to their physical fitness for service in Uncle 8am’s new army. New Britain will furnish the follow- ing doctors: Peck, Robinson, Marsh, Volkenheim, Mann, Reeks, Purney, O’Conuell and Kelly. From Bristol these doctors will come: Brockett, Griswold, Sanborn, Upson, Robbins, Dewey, Kent, Hanrihan and O’Con- nell. Southington will be represented by Doctors Plummer, Bundy and Deg- nan, and T. H. Burns, the latter serv- Berlin will supply two clerks and Doctors Griswold, Dunning and Hodgson, while Doctors Frost, Tanner and Moody of Plainville have volunteered their services for the day. Dr. Bull is away on his\vacation and he will be the only Plainville physi- cian not taking part in the examina- tion of the candidates. The following local men have agreed to aid in the clerical work: J. E. Lamb, N.’E. Clark, F. T. Wheel- er, Wesley Kavanaugh, Rev. R. H. Burton, Rev. J. W. Denton, Rev. W. A. Goodell, S. G. Sherman, George A. Cdse, C. H. Newton, S. P. Williams and George Miller. Mr. Gwillim also has tentative promises from some others but he believes that there will be work for at least six more as there seemingly will be plenty of physicians on hand to speed up the work. Plainville men summoned to ep- pear before the board were ready to- day to present themselves. The in- dications were this morning that a large number of them will seek exemption because of dependents, while several will not have to be physically examined providing they refuse to fight on the grounds that they are aMens. Twin Brothers Die. Lawrence and Lester Warren, the twin sons of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Warren of Whiting street, died last night at the New Britain hos- pital from intestinal trouble follow- ing an ‘illness of a few days. The children were five months and twenty days old. The funeral will be held tomorrow! afternoon at 3 o’clock, probably from the undertaking rooms of W. A. Bailey and company. Burial will be in West cemetery. y Reorganize Baseball Team. Plans have been made for the reor- ganization of the Foresters baseball team recently disbanded and a nine to be Known as the Plainville club will represent the town in the world of sports for the balance of the Sum- mer. Several of the Foresters’ players enlisted in the service, weakening the team to such an extent that it was decided to disband. The remaining members have had their forces aug- mented by New Britain players and the new organization will make its initial appearance Sunday at Allen’s field, having the Vikings of New Brit- ain as their opponents.

Constable Philip Marino has re- ceived word that the police of New Haven have in their possession a bi- cycle which they believe is the prop- erty of someone in Plainville. The bicycle was taken from a young | Ttalian, who is being held for failing to register for conscription on June 5. The young man was arrested while trying to dispose of the wheel, the ridiculously low price which he asked for it arousing suspicion. sequently found that he had failed to., enroll with other conscription eli- gibles and he was held for violation ! of the federal laws. e : He told the police that he had stolen the bicycle in Plainville, where he claimed he had worked as a tailor for a few weeks. ' Constable Marino has been unable to locate anyone who lost a bicycle and he is of the impression that thc prisoner is either lying or is misin- formed as to the name of the town | in question. | .
