One of the most inter- esting essays was given by Miss Emily | Brandegee of ~Worthington Ridge. | Miss Brandegee read a paper on “Old Fashioned Gardens.” Plans for the vear were discussed follow- refreshments were served. | ensuing |ing which Following a lingering illness of sev- | eral weeks, Mrs. Flora Kenf, aged 68 ears of Kensington, died yesterday | afternoon at the New Britain Ger | eral hospital. Mrs. Kent had been at | the hospital for the past three weeks ! suffering from heart trouble. | Mrs. Kent was one of Kensington's most respected residents and the news | of her death was received with keen | regret by her numrous friends. She !took an active part in church affairs and was an ardent member of the | Kensington Congregational church. Besides her husband, Oliver Kent, she leaves one son, Frank E.

Shaw has received a letter from Robert Scoville, federal food commissioner at Hart- ford, urging the local officlal to use his influence in getting the people of Berlin to use no white bread on Wednesdays and Thursdays. A cam- paign to abolish the use of white bread on these two days will be car- ried on in every town and city in the state. The letter to Town Clerk Shaw follows: “At a meeting of the Federal Food administrators of the several New England 'states, it was decided to recommend to their respective states the adoption of the plan fo observe Wednesdays and Thursd as days in which no white bread should be used. It is hoped that this practice will be observed by householders, ho- tels, restaurants, lunch rooms and clubs as a voluntary offering toward the solution of the food ‘proglem. “It is manifest that, if we are to amount of wheat which they abso- lutely require, it will be necessary for us to save by such measures as this. At this time when so many of our young men are leaving their homes to prepare themselves for their part in the great war, it is surely not too much to ask some self-sacrifice from those who stay at home. ‘“With every confidence that the people of Connecticut will desire to do their part in the fullest measure, this plan i{s commended to them for their serlous and earnest considera- tion.” Had Narrow Escape. A party of automobilists, said to live in Hartford,” had a narrow escape from death last evening, when the machine in which they were riding backed through the fence on Caesar’s Hill and into a ditch several feet be- low. There wasa man and two wom- en in the car but fortunately all es- caped without serious injury. George H. Baldwin of Kensington was summoned and towed the wrecked machine which is a Reo to nearby garage. According to the story told by one of the passengers, the machine be- came stalled while going up the hill. The driver, while trying to change the speed, reversed the wrong clutch and the car backed through the heavy railing into the ditch. Gianna Taken Sick. Although it was reported yesterday that Dennis Gianna of Kensington was not taken to Camp Devens, as he | was an alternate, Judge Benjamin I. Miller of Avon, chairman of the dis- trict exemption board, this morning stated that he is not an alternate. Mr. Miller explained that Gianni, on ar- riving at Plainville yesterday morning informed the board that he was ill and unable to make the trip. An al- ternate was substituted in his place. What disposition will be made of Gianna's case is not known. Mr. Mil- ler stated this morning that it will be presented to the exemption board for action.

Although little interest is manifested In the appointment of town officers at the election which will be held the first of October there is considerable discussioan among the townpeople as to whether Plainville will remain in the license column this year. Not in years has so strong a fight been made for prohibition, ady license speake town giving tal in the churches. According to John Lamb, who Is one of the strongest na-license men in town and an advocate of prohibition, organization has meen formed which will be much in evidence on Octo- ber 1. The “drys” are combining their resources, mentally as well as financially to ride John Barleycorn out of town on a rail. He, as well as several other prominent citizens seem to think that victory is a certainty. The “wets” naturally are of the opinion that Plainville will still re- main a license town and that the local emporiums will continue to dispense the “joy water” over.the mahogany. It is rumored that one of the local hotel men has offered to wager money to the extent of four figures to that effect. As far as can be learned no one has taken the wager. With the approaching electian only a few days away the usual talk which precedes the event is being heard on the streets, in stores and other public places, in fact wherever supporters of the different happen to meet. The arguments advanced are varied but instructing as well as amusing. Al- though members of the ‘“‘wets” and “drys” have not yet come to blows several warm verbal battles have been pitched. Some state that if the town goes no-license it will lose the prosperity which it now enjoys, that those who arc addicted to liquor and those who use it for medicinal or other purposes will be able te smuggle it into the town, that as many drunks will be taken into custody as before and that a large share of the drinking men will do their trading in nearby towns where they can obtain stimulants. The “drys” have several good arguments. Although they admit that the town might temporarily fall into a state of coma eventually greater have appeared 5 on the streets and As 180 men of the town have ap- plied to be made voters this year they may decide the outcome. Those who are qualified will take the oath tomor- row and it is thought that a large number of those who are “made” will flock to the license ranks. Missett Will Recover.

As the result of several of the draftees from Ansonia having an un- | quenchable thirst for liquor it is re- ported that the owner of one of the local emporiums has discovered that his place was raided yesterday just before the boys entrained. He being a patriotic citizen, was out to see the boys off and say good Fortunately, or rather tunately, he left the door open with no one in charge of the place. Several of the selectives from Ansonia think- ing that a mild flirtation with John Barleycorn before they left would do no harm, wandered into the place. Finding no one there procedure was simple. How much they consumed is not known but the owner is probably of the opinion that they get ‘“‘more than their share”. In return, they left some small change on the register. Appeal to Conserve Bread. Robert Scoville, the federal THE CAPTAIN WEARS food unfor- | administrator, has sent an appeal to Town Clerk Usher recommending that the people of Plainville ob- serve Wednesday and Thursday as days on which no white bread shall be used. He hopes that this practice Wwill be observed by householders, ho- tels, restaurants, lunch rooms and clubs as a voluntary offering toward the solution of the food problem.
