CELEBRATION 1S SUCCESSFUL | Young Men Who Have Been Accepted | for Army Presented 'With Money xnelm—-smm- and Pickett Leave for Camp Devens. [© Citizens, well informed on the po- | litical situation, remarked. this morn- . Ing that the caucuses which are to be " keld at_the town hall tonight pvill be { the quietest staged hcre in the past 16 years. Because of the more mo- mentous questions which are con- frobting the country,-a lack of inter- est in local elections is shown. The only real contest looked for to- pight is for the office of first select- man. Supporters of Judge Willard I. ‘Alling, who is a condidate on the re- publican ticket, were confident this morning that he would be the choice. B They backed up their statements with arguments that Judge Alling has gpiven the town an economical admin- Ystration and will come through the present fiscal year with a healthy bal- Ance in the town treasary. They fur- er asserted that the past year has Becn a very difficult one for the se- ctmen because of the scarcity of la- and because of the high cost of approached and offered the support of the party but each time a refusal was given. ‘“‘Because of the small salary attached to the position and as a great deal of time has ta be devoted to the office no one seems to want it, said Mr. Moore. i . When asked if he would run, Mr. Moore replied “I am not a candidate for any office this fall.” Farewell a Success. A farewell celebration was given to the young men who have been accept- ed for the Natianal Army at Grange ‘Hall last evening. The public_turned out in a body and the hall was crowded to its capacity. The evening's celebration began with a parade. The Home Guard, headed by St. Paul’'s T. A. and B. drum corps, marched from the Town Hall on Worthington Ridge to the Grange building on Farmington road. At the hall an appetizing dinner was served to the young men and to their parents and sweethearts. The pastors of the churches were also present at the din- ner. The diners spoke in highest terms of the women of the Grange, who prepared the meal, saying that as experts in culinary art they are second to none in the country. The evening's program was opened with appropriate introductory re- marks by Major Frank L. Wilcox, who presided. A selection was given by the drum corps following which “America” was sung. Rev. E. F. Lounsbury, pastor of the Kensihgton Methodist church, offered a prayer. William J. Webster rendered a ’cello solo in very pleasing manner and vo- cal selections were given by Oscar Benson. Rev. Samuel A. Fiske of the Berlin Congregational church, the speaker of the evening, delivered a patriotic address. In his speech, he congratulated the boys upon being chosen to represent Berlin in the strife for democracy and because they were physically fit to do so. Rev. Mr. Fiske facetiously remarked that the young men were to be more than congrytulated upon their physical fit- ness because of the many ills that material { The supporters of Newton W. Bald- ~ win, who is to oppose Judge Alling i the nomination, prophesied that ! their candidate will triumph tonight. 5 ring the past few days a campaign | Boosting his candidacy has been in evidence and Mr. Balawin should be alle to gather a large number of ! votes tonight. Mr. Baldwin’s backers state that he would make an ideal se- “Jectman, since he has had consider- able experience in running the town affairs, while second selectman under the Gibney administration. The Bald- win supporters strongly argue that Judge Alling failed to keep the roads in 'good repair, which accounts for hig having a good balance in the tréasury. Aside from the selectmanship, it is believed that the same officlals who !nro at present in office will be renom- nated tomight. George B. Carter, £ who served as second selectman in a I capable manner during the past year, $1s7sure of renomination and Tax Col- Jector Charles F. Lewis will undoubt- dly be endorsed by the G. O. P. i Although it ws rumored that Town ['€lerk Francis H. Shaw would meet [ %ith opposition at the caucus and that he democrats would place a candidate the slate instead of endorsing Mr. aw, as has been their custom in ars past, John A. Moore, chairman the democratic town committee, id today that his party would nomi- Mr. Shaw again. hom the democrats will run for st selectman is still a mystery. In Mscussing the palitical situation this porning Mr. Moore stated that as vet s ‘party had not found a candidate. “in countless Americans have suddenly obtained since war was declared against Germany. g Rev. Mr. Fiske told the men that it was a privilege and an honor to be proud of, to serve their country. The speaker brought out point that although .only one o eight men selected was born in*this toun- try, the remainder coming from Scot- land, Italy and the Balkan states, stil they were all Americans. ., Rev. Mr. Fiske closed. his address by telling the boys that the town was behind them and that they had the confidence and affection of “all the people in Berlin, no matter wiire they would be. § ‘When John Lennie Thompson of Kensington arose to sing he was given a rousing welcome. Mr. Thompson told the audience that he wasn’t an American by birth, Scotland being his native land, but he deemed it an honor and a privilege to be able to fight for America. % The surprise of evening came when Major Frank Wilcox on behalf of the people presented each prospective sol- dier with a money belt. As each young man arose and stepped to the platform to receive the small token he was greeted with tremendous ap- plause. The evening’s celebration was brought to'.a close with the singing of the “Star Spangled Banner.” Off for Ayer, Mass. Joseph Vincent Smith and Edgar Pickett, Berlin's first . representation to the new National Army left this morning for Camp Devens, Aver. Mass., where they are ta receive their number of promising men had been | military training. The young men quietly left town by automobile for Hartford and left for camp on the 10 o’clock train from that city. To Elect Officers. A meeting of the Swedish Republi- can club will be held'on Monday eve- ning at 8 o’clock at the town hall. Officers for the ensuing year will be elected at this time and business mat- ters will be transacted. The club which boasts of & membership close to 40, has been very active during the year. Carl Johnson is president of the organization and Charles J. Johnson is secretary. To Leave Berlin Line. Commuters on the Berlin line learned with much regret this morn- ing that Michael O’Brien, motorman for the Connecticut company, will leave the Berlin line next week and go on the Plainville branch. During the seven years that Mr. v .rien has been motorman on the Berlin line he has made hundreds of friends because of a pleasing .disposition. Briefs. ‘William . Ryan, Philip Fagan and Harry and Frank McKeon, ‘all of whom are with the Naval Rtserves at New Haven, were guests at the fare- well dinner and entertainment given last evening at the Grange hall in honor of the young men who have been accepted for the National Army. ‘W.

All in the best of physical condition and light hearts the only thing they dreaded was the saying good-bye to their immediate friends and parents who had gathered to wish them Godspeed. The manner in which the supposed- ly patriotic citizens of the town acted towards the departure of its drafted sons was indeed noticeable and con- slderable unfavorable comment was heard in different quarters. Falling out of line with other towns such as Berlin, Avon and other places about the state which gave their departing friends a rousing send off Plainville was satisfled to lie dormant during the occasion. No big “feed” was held last evening for the boys, no band fol- lowed in their wake as they marched to the station and only immediate friends were there to see them off. One citizen remarked this morning that some retribution should be made whereby the young men could be made feel that townpeople were with them in spirit. He suggested that money be raised by popular subscrip- tion for the purpose of keeping a to- bacco fund for Plainville boys who have responded to the call to the col- ors. What action will be taken re- lies upon the amount of patriotism shown by the people of the town. 131 Men on Draft List. According to a list compiled- by | Benjamin I. Miller of Avon, chair- man of the local exemption board, 131 men from Plainville will haye to Teport for examination next®Wednes- day, September 12. This list was com- piled after the local board found that the quota could not be filled from the first 1,000 examined. The first man to be selected on the new roster is Patrick Ahern. He is one of the well known young men of the town and at present is employed at the Freight Depot. Number 11 on the list is Flavy Iven Benjamin, the well known stromg man and wrestle® of the town. He will probably be ex- empted on the grounds of having de- Although every man whose name is on the list will be subjected to a thor- ough examination ‘it is not probable that each young man who passes the doctors and waives exemption will be included in the first increment which the town will have to furnish. As yet all of those who passed the physical examination last time and claimed exemption for various reasons have not been passd upon by members of the local board. In all probaiblities only a few of the last called will be needed to fill the district’s first quota. .The combplete list follows: 1822—Patrick Ahern, Freight Sta- tion, Plainville. 1078—John Lars Ahlquist, 50 Whit- ing St., Plainville. 1841—Albert Wallace Allen, Whit- | ing St., Plainville. 2201—Charles Burton Broad St., Plainville. 1432—Clarence Harry Anderson, 3 Camp St., Plainville. 1752—Leander E.
