Dr. Roger M. Griswold, insisting that he has resigned as health officer and Judge Daniel A. Markham of Hartford, chairman atf the county health department denying that he has recelved any such resignation are some of the factors that have arisen since local physician decided to step out of office on September 1 with a statement “that he couldn’t retain the office and his self respect at the same time.” When Judge Markham was asked this morning by a Hérald reporter if successor to Dr. Griswold had been chosen he replied, “I haven’t received any resignation from Dr. Griswold. Further than this he would make no other statement. In speaking of his resignation this morning, Dr. Griswold said that he was performing the dutles of health afficer since no one had been chosen to succeed him. He made it clear that he was acting as health cer purely for the welfare of the public and that it was against his wishes to continue longer in office. He satd that he first resigned his office on September 1 and as it was not acted upon at that time he again notified the board a few weeks later that his resignation must be accepted. ‘When told that Judge Markham elaimed that he had not received his resignation, Dr. Griswold expressed surprise. He exclaimed that since Judge Markham had been away on a vacation, and had but recently return ed, the matter must have not been cal- led to his attention. Dr. Griswold emphatically makes it olear that he will under no circum- — e e OTICE. Admission of Electors.

H. SHAW, Town Clerk. WILLARD I. ALLING, GEO. B. CARTER, JOHN A. MOORE, Selectmen of the Town of Berlin erlin, Conn., Sept. 17, 1917, . stances reconsider his resignation. He is disgusted’ with “the lack of system along sanitary lines” in this town and desires to step out of the office. Leave for Camp Devon. Amid the cheering of hundreds of relatives, friends and spectators as- sembled at the Plainville railroad station, 14 young men from this town and Kensington, together with the quota from this district, entrained this morning for Camp Devons, Ayer, Mass., to undergo military training, having qualified under the selective military law. Dennis Gianna and John Tinko were notified to appear in Plainville this morning, but on ar- riving were told that their services were not in demand yet. They are both alternates and, as practically every drafted man from this district present when the roll was called, Gianna and Tinko will now have to wait until the next call. 3 A large number of residents accom. panied the young men to Plainville to bid them farewell before their de- parture. Farewell Banquet Successful. A farewell banquet and entertain- ment that by far excelled any affair held here in years, was given last evening in the Grange Hall under the auspices of the local council of de- fense to the young men who left this morning for the cantonment at Ayer, Mass. A bounteous dinner was served to the honored young men, following which a musical program was car- ried out and speeches were in order. A handsome money belt was present- ed to each propective soldier as a testimonial of the good wishes of the people of Berlin. Following the dinner, the Berlin Home Guards, in full dress uniform, assembled at the Town Hall and marched in a body to the Grange hall. Upon their, arrival at the Hall, Rev. Samuel A. Fiske, pastor of the Con- gregational church, who acted in the i capacity of toastmaster, called the as- semblage to order. Rev. Mr. Dodge | of Bast BBrlin offered a prayer. Mrs. | Walmsley of East Berlin, who has on | & number of-occasions sang at public demonstrations, rendered several vocal solos. She was repeatedly en- cored. John Lennie Thompson, one of Kensington's most popular young men, also gave several vocal selec- tions. Thompson was among those to leave for camp. Professor E. E. Nourse, the speak- ier of the evening, delivered a most | patriotic and stirring address. He im- pressed the young men with the ser- iousness of the occasion and the great honor that has been bestowed upon them by being fortunate enough to be ‘selected to fight for this country and democracy. Oscar Benson of East Berlin gave several vocal selections. The pre- sentation of the gifts was made by Rev. Mr. Fiske. stepped to the platform to receive the little token, he was greeted with tre- mendous applause. The program was brought close with the singing of the Spangled Banner.” Farrari Located. Through the efforts of John Preloni, proprietor of a grocery store on Main street, Kensington, Giovanni Ferrari, who had been drafted and failed to appear for his notice at the Kensing- ton postoflice, was located late yester- to a “Star day afternoon. The man was em- ploved at the Murray brickyard. When informed that he was to leave for Camp Devons this morning, Ferrari (x sed surprise. He re- membered that he had registered on June 5, but since then the thought of having to serve Uncle Sam never en- | tered his mind. He explained that ho As cach young man | road this evening. seldom receives mail and therefore failed to call at the post office. Fer- rari did not appear for his physical examination and was automatically drafted into the army. To Raise Momey for Books. Plans for a campaign to be launched here next week for the pur- pose of raising money to supply books to the soldiers, will be discussed at a speoial meeting of the directors of the libraries at Berlin, East Berlin and Kensington tomorrow in the Berlin Congregational church par- lors. Thomas Emerson is chairman of the local committee which is to work in conjunction with the Con- necticut Library association. A simi- lar campaign will be carried on next week in every city and town in the state. The slogan adopted by Amer- ican Library association, of which the Connecticut organization, is a branch, is “A Million Dollars for a Million Books for a Million Soldiers.” Rev. Carleton Hazen, rie Moore and Mrs. T. B. Wickwire attended a meeting of the state as- saciation at Hartford yesterday. At this meeting final plans for the cam- paign were discussed.

Early this morning those who had been ordered to report at Ayer with the contingent began to sather at the Town hall. With them came their mothers, fathers, sweet- hearts and brothers, all eager to catch the last glimpse of them before they are ushered into the service 6f Uncle Sam. The men were mobilized at the Town hall by army officers and as the time approached for the arrival of the train which is to carry them to Hart- ford orders were given for a march to the railroad station. Friends, rela- tives and members of the family formed in the long procession to the depot. At 9:15 the train rolled in. RRoll call was taken tu check the list of those present and determine if any were missing, The results showed that there were no shirkers and each man notified was present. Thomas Prior was just about to board the train when it was learned that he was not needed. He was dis- missed, as were three other alternates, two from Bristol and Thomas At- water of Plainville. They will leave with the next contingent. At 9:30 the shriek of the locomo- tive announced that the train was ready to leave. The “all aboard” shouted by the conductor started a general rush for the cars. Every- where could be seen mothers crying softly as they bid their sons farewell. Sweethearts and sisters also wept as they said good bye to those who will soon don the khaki. As the train pulled out the setthing mass of humanity which had gathered had to be kept away from the tracks so great was the confusion. Cheers and hurrahs and shouts of God speed added to the din and all stood in their respective positions until the train which bore Plainville’s second offering to the National army had disappeared from view. Celebration a Success. The celebration which was given last evening to those who left this marning proved to be a tremendous success. It far eclipsed any previous send-off and will go down in the an- nals of history as an affair worth while. Those in whose honor it was given seemed to feel the spirit which was manifest and the ardor with which the citizens of the town honored their soldier boys. The stores in the business section public and private residences were decked with the national colors and everywhere ‘Old Glory” was much in evidence, flying in the breezes. The parade started at 7:30 from the town hall marshalled by Captain Trumbull. The firemen, boy scouts, the Ambulance Company and the Machine Gun Company as well as other organizations turned out to march. The drafted men who left today were given a place of honor and were followed by those who have been found physically fit, waived exemption and are now awaiting their call to the colars. The line of march was carried out according to schedule after which the contingent which left this morning was escorted to Masanic hall by local Home Guard. There they were tend- ered a banquet and smoked. A “big feed” was served after which smokes were passed around and each man presented with a set, consisting of various tailet articles, by assistant Postmaster James Graham, who was the donor of the gifts. Short talks were given at the town hall by Captain J. H. Trumbull and Benjamin Holden of the War Emsi- gency board. Mr. Holden advised the boys to keep as far away from Old John Barleycarn as possible if they wished to make good soldiers and serve their country to the best of their ability. He also urged them to keep themselves clean, mentally and moral- ly, as well as physically. ‘While the recipients of the feast at Masonic hall were enjoying themselves to the fullest extent a majority of the others wha had been on the streets and in the parade flocked to the town hall where the benefit dance which was planned by the firemen was in full swing. From the admissions col- lected at the door and contributions oved $70 was realized. This will be added to the fund which was collected recently at the firemen’s sale and will be used for buying smokes for the Plainville boys wha have entered or will enter the service later. This morning fruit and cigarettes and cigars were distributed to the local boys by John Penato, manager of Comforti's confectionary store. Attend Hartford Meeting. Three members of the local council of the Connecticut War Library coun- cil, Miss Francis Bunnell, John Lamb and Rev. R. H. Burton, attended a meeting yesterday held at the State capitol under the auspices of the Con- nedticut Library association. During the day interesting as well as in- structive addresses by Governor Hol- comb, Chas. D. Hine, state director; J. Randolph Coolidge of the National War Council and A. A. Protzman, N. E. fleld director, were listened to. Each speaker told of the nation-wide drive which will be made next week to raise “A million dollars for a mil- ; lion books for a million soldiers.” The local council is very enthusias- tic regarding the movement and a meeting will be held at the home of the local director, Rev. R. H. Burton on Friday evening at 8 o’clock. At this time plans for the campaign will be formulated. Each town having a free library has been assigned a certain allotment ac- cording to its population. Plainville’'s allotment is understood to be in the neighborhood of $150 and it is not | expected that any difficulty will be experienced in raising this sum and endorsing the project. Pioneer Resident Passes Away. Mrs. Sarah M. Tyler, for many Yyears a resident of this town passed away at her home on Park street last evening. Death was due to heart fail- ure. Up to a few hours of her death she was apparently enjoying the best of health and news of her death came as a shock to the community. Mrs. Tyler was born in Waterbury in 1850 and was 67 years of age. She and her husband removed to Plain- ville about twenty-five years ago. Mrs. Tyler since her advent here made a large number of friends here and was well and favorably known in the community. She is survived by her husband, a son, Harry, two daughters, Mrs. Henry Hitchcock of Syracuse and Mrs. John Moriarty of Waterbury and ’a brother, Willlam Collins of Brook- Iyn. The funeral will be held Friday afternoon at 2:30 at the home, with Rev. Ward, pastor of the Baptist church officiating. Interment will be in West Cemetery. Allan Bailey has charge of the funeral arrangements. Enlists in Regular Army. Frank Cassidy of Canal street today enlisted as a member of the regular army at New Haven. He will be sent to Fort Slocum immediately for training and expects to reach the shores of France before next spring. Cassidy, who has had a number of years of training in railroad activi- ties signed as a member of the en- gineer corps and is of the opinion that he will be sent with that unit over- seas. Make Voters Saturday. Voters will be made Saturday at the town hall by the selectmen and the town clerk. Up to date 180 have handed their names to the registrars and expressed their desire to have a voice at the coming election. It is expected that only about half of those who have handed in their names will have the necessary qualifications. Some ‘“‘Spuds.” A display which is attracting no little attention has been placed in the window of Bordeau’s barber shop. It consists of four of this year’s potatoes of enormous size, the largest one weighing 32 ounces. They were raised by Constable Henry David who is cer- tainly the potato king, at least on a small scale. Hart to Lead Democrats. At a democratic caucus held last evening in the town hall and at which the ‘“faithful few” were presented, ‘William Hart was honored by being unanimously chosen as the party's standard bearer for the coming elec- tion. The rest of the ticket is prac- tically the same as it was last year. Little enthusiasm was manifest in the caucus or the coming election of officers for the coming year and the session was devoid of contests and dissension. Heart opposed Johnson last year for the first selectmanship and a close battle ensued, the latter winning out by a narrow margin. This year also the vote is expected to be close. The fact that a large number of men have handed in their names and wish to be made some voters may have some bearing on the final returns. War Bulletin Erected. An official war bulletin has been erected continuous to the post office by the local town council of the Con- necticut state council of defense. On it will be found news of importance pertaining to military matters throughout the state. Plainville Briefs. Percival Miller has accepted a po- sition as clerk in Byington's drug store. The marriage of James Driscoll of this town to Miss Mary Ford of Cor- bin avenue of New Britain has been announced. The wedding will take place October 2 at the home of the mother of the bride. Maple Hill Dr. and’ Mrs. George Woram are spending two weeks in Atlantic City. The members of the Christian Eu- deavor society will attend the meet- ing of the New Britain Christian En- deavor Union which will be held to- morrow evening at the Berlin Con- gregational church. Officers and com- mittees for the year will be elected and the banner awarded to the so- clety with the best attendance. Raymond Goodale of Robbins ave. has returned to Wesleyan college af- ter the summer vacation. Attention of dog owners is called to the new law relating to the con- fining of all dog premises, to take effect Saturday, Sept. at 6 a. m. Own- ers failing to abide by said law are liable to fine of $3 and loss of dogs after being held 72 hours.

The new provisions take the place of the King amendment, which was added to the bill while it was before the Senate. Senator King’s amendment required German language publications to print in parallel columns an English trans- lation of all articles. The new pro- vision establishes a censorship over all foreign language publications, in- stead of confining itself to those in the German language, and makes it un- lawful either to print or circulate in any way any foreign language pub- lication that has not passed the cen- sor. The local postmasters are the censors. The second point in the new amend- ment is that it is made unlawful to transport or distribute any publica- tion that is non-mailable under the provisions of the espionage law. This provision gives the governmeént con- trol of the distribution and sale of of- fensive English language publications, as well as those in foreign languages. In the case of the English language publications, however, there is no pro- vision for special censorship by local postmasters. Recalcitrants Blamed. Successtul efforts by offending pub- licatlons to evade government control under the provisions of the espion- age law brought the proposed legis- lation about. It was found that when they were excluded from the mails | they sent their publications by ex- press, and organized distribution | agencies to supply their subscribers, news agents, and reach the public generally. Some of them even bragged that as a result of the action of the postoffice their sales had been materially increased. As the bill now stands it is made | unlawful for any person, firm, corpor- | ation or association to print, publish | or circulate or cause to be printed, published or circulated in any foreign | language any news item, editorial or | other printed matter vespecting the government of the Unitel States or | any nation engaged in the present war, its policies, international rela- tions, the state or conduct of the war or any matter relating thereto. A sccond paragraph lifts this ban to some extent. It provides that the foregoing section shall not apply if | the publisher or distributor on or be- fore gffering the publication for mail- | | In practice this provision makes the local postmasters the censors of foreign language publications. For it will be their duty to declare the pub- lication mailable or non-mailable af- ter reading the translation. 1In cases where they are in doubt it will be their duty to hold up the publication until the matter in question has been passed on by the solicitor of the post | office department at Washington. i An examination by the government has shown that there are 448 Ger- | 9 o e | b The selectmen and town clerk of the Town of Newington will hold a session at the Town hall to examine the qualifications of . electors and admit to the electors oath those who shall be found qualified on Saturday, Sept. 22d, from 9 a m. until 7 p. m. man-language publications in this | country, of which nine are consid- | ered loyal.
