Chairman A. E. Magnell pre- sided at the meeting and in addition to the other commissioners’those pres- ent were Mayor G. A. Quigley and Fireman Edward Parker, the latter representing the Fivemen's Pension Association. Mayor Quigley explained to the fire board that the city is now beginning to launch forth into a new system of pensioning both firemen and police- men, and the latter, he said, are showing an excellent spirit by giving 2 per cent. of their salaries into the fund. The firemen should be willing to do likewise, he thought. Commis- sioner Frank Moran echoed tho thought and said “they would be get- ting a very cheap insurance, too.” Three call engineers and three call- men were reported as having sought retirement. They are James Topmay, George Caswell, Frank W. Humphrey, Thomas Clerkin, William Forsythe, and Patrick Egan. Mr. Parker ad- vised the board that Firemen Fred Schneider and Harry Wetmore are eli- gible for retirement and he understood that the former wanted it. Chairman Magnell replied that he knew nothing of Mr. Schneider’'s desires, but Mr. Wetmore has expressed a desire to remain active as long as possible. Firemen Are Pensioned. After some further discussion, Com- missioner Camp moved ta pension all six of the applicants at $100 per year. Commissioner Moran objected because, he said, engineers receive $300 per year, -and half-pay, as permitted by the charter, would entitle them to $150. Commissioner Camp insisted that $100 was enough since it is what the callmen were getting and the en- gineers have had but little to do other than callmen’s work for many years. Chairman Magnell upheld Commis- sianer Moran’s plea for full half-pay, and Mr. Parker also urged this. When it was explained that hereafter all callmen, substitute callmen and stokers are to be pald $200 per year and, therefore, the men whose names were mentioned woud be the last to ever recelve a pension of $150, Mr. Camp withdrew his miotion. Chairman Magnell immediately moved to retire Engineers Tormay, Humphrey and Caswell at $150 per year, subject to the approval of the corporation counsel, the retirements to date from October 1, but subsequently changed it to provide for these men receiving a pension of not more than $150 or less than $100. Callmen Cler- kin, Forsythe and Egan were then pensioned at $100 per year. Mr. Par- ker was instructed to advise the fire- men pension and rellef association that the flre commissioners feel the firemen should do their part toward helping swell the pension fund just the same as the policemen are doing. ‘Want New Fire Pump. There was conslderable discussion relative to the purchase of a new pump for the fire department. At present there is a fund of $3,600 avail- able but at least $8,000 is needed and the question arose as to whether it would be better to ask for a transfer of funds or secure a promise from the board of finance and taxation to make up the difference in next year's ap- propriation. Chairman Magnell sug- gested 2 Maxim pump but the commis- sioners were strong in their objec- tions to spending $3,5600 for a flying squadron car. Commissioner Moran sald he favors the American La France cars and would like to stand- ardize the city's apparatus. It was finally voted, on suggestion of Chair- man Magnell, to take a two days’ trip about October 20 to Westerly, R. I., Norwich, New Haven and other cities to inspect their apparatus. It was voted to have City Electri- clan George Cooley attend the next meeting and tell what he wants for the subway service. It was also vot- ed to sell the ash can at No. 4 Engine House and install an ash bin. The su- perintendent of schools is also to be urged to observe fire prevention day and repairs at No. 2 Engine House were likewise authorized. BOY SCOUT Troop 14.—The regular meeting of Troop 14 was held in the Town hall Plainville Wednesday evening _ with | all members present. Archie Nal- fandian was elected captain of the | football team, and Adelbert Stephen- son was elected manager. Scoutmas- ter Bonney decided that the Eagle | Patrol had won the 100 per cent. Duty Pins and awarded them to the members of that patrol. There was | great competition between the Wolf ! Patrol and the Eagle. This system of points has now started for next | month and the Wolf Patrol expects to win the honors. Sidney Cowles has completed his tests for second class scout so we now have three second class scouts, with all the rest working hard to get there. New patrol leaders were elected for the | Beaver patrol. They are: Patrol Leader Wesley Johnson, and Assist- ant Patrol Leader Meyer Sneideman. | The Wolf Patrol has challenged the | RBeaver Patrol to a half mile hoop ! race. Scout Archie Nalfandian chal- | lenges any scout in the troop for a,i haif mile race. The football team | will practice Saturday. Troop 9—At the regular meeting of Troop 9 a football team was organized to represent the troop in the league. The team began practicing at once under the guidance of a well known football player. The outlook is good for a successful team. Sunday, Sep- tember 22nd, the troop had a hike in the woods. Supper was eaten around a roaring campfire and then stories were told until well into the evening. The Scoutmasters and their assist- ants will have a supper at the Y. M. C. A, Tuesday evening October 2 at 7:15. Many matters of importance are to be discussed and all Scout Leaders are urged to be present. The football league wil open at Walnut Hill park, October 6 at 2:30 p. m. The New Britain council is making plans to do its share in the new Lib- erty Loan drive. The Boy Scouts of America sold nearly 2,000,000 dollars worth of Liberty Bonds in the first campaign and the president has called upon them to do the same thing over again. Any Scout who gets 10 or more subscriptions will be entitled to a war service emblem. This is a fine chance for the Boy Scouts to come forward and do a great service for the government of the United States and we feel sure that the New Britain Scouts will work hard to make this drive even more successful than the last. Full details for this drive will be announced later. Let me call the attention of the Scouts to the fact that the Scout executive glves his full time each Saturday morn- ing to teaching first aid and signalling at the scout headquarters, 166 Main street and all Scouts wishing to be proficient along these lines are re- quested to present themselves at headquarters. any Saturday morning. A start will be made tonight to or- ganize two new troops of Scouts at the South Congregational church. 0. U, A. M. CELEBRATION. New Britain Council to Observe ‘39th Anniversary.

SQUARE PREPARING GIRLS T0 FAGE THE WORLD Y. W. C. A Sends Them Out With Vigorous, Healthy Bodies That the girls of this city are no less enthusiastic over gymnastics than the boys is shown by the fine at- tendance that the girls maintain at the Y. W. C. A. gymnasium. All the necessities that are needed to make a girl strong and healthy are at their command at the rooms on Hungerford Court. The pool and the apparatus of the gymnasium are of the best that could be secured and can easily be compared with any other gymnasium of its size in the country. An inspec- tion of the water lately proved that it was above criticism. The showers and accommodating bath rooms are also of a complete and sanitary nature. It is the ambition of the physical and swimming instructor, Miss Mar- jorie Breckinridge, to turn out one of the healthiest and best gymnastic classes that has ever attended the Y. W. C. A. And from the appearance of activities at the association, at present, it is sfe to say that her am- bition will be realized. Not only the girls from this city apprecate the ben- ofits that are derived from joining the gymnastic class but girls from South- ington, Hristol and Plainville have taken advantage of the opportunity to join this class and improve them- selves. Swimming is one of the most popu- lar sports in America. That a good many girls realize this fact is attest- ed to by the swelling of the swimming ranks to 100 members. In this branch not only swimming is taught but the art of life saving is also a feature that draws the attention of many. It may be your turn next to save & droyning person; if you don’t know how to per- form the stunt you will have to stand by and watch the person drown. " An athletic league is to be started by the directors the first meeting of which will be held October 5. This league is to be for girls whose age ranges from 16 to 20. Rewards will be given to girls attaining records in basketball, gymnastics, dancing, tramping, tennis and swimming. The reular classes open Monday, October 2, held on the following time and dates. Beginners, Tuesday, 7:30 p. m.; ad- vanced, Thursday, 7:30 p. m.; morn- ing, Tuesday, 10 a. m.; social dancing, 8:45 p. m.

Although he’s still somewhat unde- cided, Mayor Quigley feels that a ma- Jority of the people of- New Britain, including the drafted men, want a cel- ebration when the soldiers march away next Thursday, and he stated this morning that some sort of a send- off will be arranged. Today Mayor Quigley received sev- eral additional messages arguing in fa- vor of a celebration and he thinks a majority of the people want one and feel that it will not add any to the sadness of the relatives and friends of those who are going. FATHER SEEKS COMPENSATION. The case of Burton Twining, seek- ing compensation as a result of the injuries and death of his son, Robert Twining, several months ago, has been continued in the compensation court. Young Twining, who was but 21 years of age, was employed by the Gulf Refining Co. and while working on one of the big oil trucks in Hart- ford fell under the wheels. His arm was so badly crushed that amputation was necessary. Blood poisoning sub- sequently set in and he died. STATE TAXES DUE. Tomorrow is the last day on which state taxes can be paid without the ad- ditional fine of fram 2 to 10 per cent. State Treasurer F. S. Chamberlain has engaged 20 extra girls to care for the last-minute rush at his office in Hart- ford. All residents of the state are liable to tax at local rates unless the state tax of four mills on the dollar is paid. The office in the Capitol build- ing will be open until 4 o’clock to- morrow. FARMER SEEKING DAMAGES. Bartholomew Dombrowski, a farm- er living on Clinton street, has filed a claim for $100 damages against tha water department alleging that an overflow from the city’s high service reservoir has damaged his crops. Tonight the water board and the council claims committee will hold a joint session to act on this claim. 'BELL-ANS Absolutely Removes | Indigestion.
