HAVING AN AUTOMOBILE DELIVERY FOR NEW BRITAIN YOU OCAN DEPEND - ON PROMPTLY RECEIVING ALL DRY GOODS PU CHASED OF UR. =) Berlin News FEW BERLIN BOYS WILLING TO SERVE Out of 25 Physically Fit 16 ° (laim Exemption MORE T0 BE EXAMINED Sewage Still Continues to Run Into Catch Basin, Overflows and Be- c:;mes Stagnant on the Main High- way—Church News. Out of the 59 men from Berlin that appeared Saturday in Plainville before the:local board for examination and tor file claims for exemption, only nisewere found physically fit who ex- puessed a willingness to serve their country. Statistics show that there ere 16 men physically fit who filed @ims for exemption for various rea- 14 were physically disqualified, 1 ere discharged because they aliens and seven men failed to appear. Of the last group, one man is°perving in the ranks of the Cana- dian”army and two others failed to receive their notification. Thus there are four men, all of foreign extraction who will probably be branded as slackers. A search for them will be made in the near future by the au- thorities, The two men who failed to keep in touch with the activities of the lgcal board and had the misfor- tune not to be notified because of the addresses being involved, will prob- abWf be given another chance and ap- pear in Bristol this afternoon. The first man from Berlin to be ex- amined was Robert Coles, who inci- dentally has the honor of having the serial number 268 which was the first to be drawn from the receptacle at Wgashington. He was rejected be- cause of his lack of height. The last man to appear for examination was |Anabele Zagge, who was found phy- gically qualified but filled claim for lexemption, The rames below tell the story. Accepted.

It has been deemed advisable to give the names and reasons why three young men of the town to whom no- tices were sent so that they cannot be justly be termed as slackers in the full sense of the word. Richard Hull is stationed with a body of Canadian troops. George Mousche did not get his letter, which was addressed to Kensington, because he receives his mail at Southington post office. It is stated that the letter addressed to Charles Johnson, Kensington, has at last reached its rightful owner. There are any number of men in the town having that same name. It was given to one Charles Johnson of Kensing- ton but was returned by that gentle- man with the statement that he was outside the draft age. Next it was sent to Berlin, from there to East Berlin, and shortly afterward was back at the Kensington post office again. Postmaster Fagan learned that there was a man by that name in Beckley and accordingly he sent it there. Up to date it has not been re- turned and the local official thinks that at last it has reached its proper destination. As nothing can be found as to the whereabouts of the four men who are evidently trying to evade being con- scripted it is thought that they have left town. More than 275 men were called from the towns of Plainville, South- ington and Berlin and owing to the fact that many claimed exemption for various reasoos, it is expected that a second call will have to be made soon. In point of having young men willing and able to don the khaki, these three towns will rank among the lowest in the district. The examination of conscription eli- gibles started at 8 o’clock and short- ly after the first Berlin man was ex- amined. At 4:30 the board had fin- ished its tremendous task. A number of prominent citizens from this town were much in evidence and helped carry on the work. Among those present were: Dr. R, M. Griswold, Dr. Dunning, Francis Deming and George Griffith, The latter two men acted as clerks. The total number in the working force was 26 doctors and as many clerks, each town furnishing Blovanni Bronnip, Kensington; Ma- i‘ Li Manro, Berlin; Pietro Par- ¥ an allotted number which was desig- nated by men in the different towns. Dr. Griswold appointed those from Berlin. It is Still There. When Mrs. Gilligan was brought into court last Thursday and ordered to disconnect and thereby stop the contents of her sink from runnjng into the railroad sewer, people L.,g the town drew a long breath, sighed, and said “at last we will be rid of that unearthly odor.” However, such is not the case. Water or waste of some sort still continues to run into the catch basin, which, because the I sewer ig clogged further along, over- flows. At the court session Theld lass Thursday, Dr. R. M. Griswold, health officer of Berlin, stated that if sew- age continued to flow on the high- way the identity of the offenders ‘would be ascertained and they would be haled into court and punishment meted out accordingly. From the manner in which Dr. Grisyold ut- tered this assertion it is not at all probable that court will be held in the near future if conditions are not improved. Church News. Kensington Methodist church— Tuesday evening the mid-week serv- ice will be held which will be fol- lowed by a meeting of the Sunday school board. The girls of the .con- gregation will meet Thursday after- noon at the home of Mrs. Ora Edger- ly. The Sunday school picnic will take place Saturday at Elizabeth park, Hartford. Those who are planning to attend will take the special car which will leave Upson’s crossing at 8:50. As usual during the summer there is very little outside of the routine matters doing at the churches. The regular services are being carried on. Aged Italian Dies. Pasquale Varesio 60 years old, died yesterday afternoon at the Suf- fleld Trap Rock company quarry in Beckley Quarter, of heart failure. Varesio appeared to be in good health yesterday morning but while walking about the quarry was sud- denly taken ill. He went to the pump house to get a drink of water and fell to the floor dying almost im- mediately. He was a widower, but is believed to have a brother who has not yet been located. Vereslo is said to have been a good workman having been with the trap rock company for three years. The funeral will be held to- mOrrow morning. Funeral of Mrs. Rowley. The funeral of Mrs. Sarah Rowley was held this morning at the home of her son J. C. Rowley in Berlin. Pro- fessor E. E. Nourse officlated. Burial was in the church cemetery in New- ington. ) Briefs.

Willlam Turner of Company I, sta- tioned now at New Haven, was home over Sunday. A party of men from East-Berlin, captained by Arthur Bowers, went to Plainville New FEW HERE WILLING - TODON THE KHAKI Only Bight Passing Physical Test Waive Exemption Claims MANY HAVE DEPENDENT Aliens Take Advantage of Their Prec rogatives—Board Will Overrule Many Claims for Exemption—Ad- vent Christians Prepare for Meeting. While Plainville has made a re- markable showing in volunteer con- tributions to the army and navy, the results of Saturday's examination of || young men to determine their eligi- bility for service are admittedly dis- couraging, only eight of the local boys who was passed by the physi- clans expressing a willingness to “do theil bit” without making any claims for exemption. There appeared to be a disposition on the part of a large number of the young men examined to seek exemption from service on the grounds that they have depen- dents while others declared that in view of the fact that they work on farms they should not have to go into the army. The exemptiory board, following Saturday’s sessién, discussed inform- ally the results and the members seemed to be of the opinion that several of those who claimed exemp- tion will be compelled to report for service. In cases where young men have but wives depending on them for support and the woman is cap- able of earning her own living it is doubtful if excuses will be recog- Dpized. Aliens showed no disposition to fight for the land of their adoption and fourteen foreigners, who now live in Plainville, were excused with- out physical examination as a conse- quence, the board being forced to recognize their claims for exemption. Although nearly 270 young men, representing Plainville, Berlin and Southington, were examined only thirty physically fit claimed to be willing to serve. The others claimed exemption for various reasons. Twenty-two Plainville ‘men were found to be physically disqualified and twenty-five from here who passed the physical test claimed exemption. Six of those notified to appear failed to make an appearance. Four of them, Edwin Joseph Blanchard, Patsy Di Russo, John Katchifty and Wladyslaw Biakowrha, could not be located by the mail carriers. Dominic Real, a barber, was excused until today be- cause of his business. He went to Bristol this morning to take the ex- amination. The results of the examination as far as it relates to Plainville candi- dates was as follows: Physically Exempted. Edward Efnest Barrows, David Brown, Gaylord Donald Cargill, Tony Catucci, Bugene Andrews Forrest, Harrison Ray Goodale, Arthur George Hill, Charles Edward Hill, Rowland Evans Hoerle, Charles Frederick Hubbard, Stanley Roscamp Jones, Joseph Keefe, Frank Leferine, Harry Litz, Charles Albert Livingston, Syl- vester Grant Mason, Frederick Auger Morton, Edmund Adolph Nelson, Frederick Francis .
