I | 10,000 STENOGRAPHERS NEEDED. Washington, D. C., Oct. 16.—Now that Uncle Sam has the young men of the country in training for military service, he finds that he needs 10,000 tvpewriter operators and stenogra- phers and typewriters, both men and women, for the departments at Wash- ington. The Civil Service Commis- sion has notified all of its 3,000 boards of examiners that they should put forth their best efforts to secure these urgently needed workers. While examinations are now held weekly in 450 cities, the commission states that arrangements will be made to have an examination held at any accessible place where a small class of appli- cants can be secured. The entrancas salaries rangé from $1,000 to $1,200 vear. Promotion is reasonably rapid to those whose services prove satisfactory. No appointments can be made to these or other posi- tions in the Federal classified civil service unless authorized by the Civil Service Commission under NPdainville News SELECTHEN CALL SPECIAL SESSION To Be Held in Town Hall Next Monday Evening COMMITTEES TO REPORT People in Plainville Backward About Being Forward Regarding Sub- scriptions to Second Liberty Loan— Mrs. Burwcll’s Coolness Saves Lives. Announcement was made this morn- ing that a special town meeting will be held Monday evening, October 22, in the Town Hall at 8 o’clock. Tn view of the fact that matters of im- portance to the townspeople are to be brought up at this time, it is prob- able that a large number of the cit- izens will be in attendance. The salient purpose of the special session is to hear and consider the report of the committee appointed to look into the construction of a sur- face sewer system on Woodford ave- nue and also to take action concern- ing the same and to appropriate the necessary funds. The report of the committee ap- pointed to readjust the salaries of the town officers will also be considered and action will probably be taken. It is expected that the action taken regarding these matters will be fa- vorable. The town officials realizing that the Rockwell-Drake division of the Marlin Arms company is a val- uable asset to the town will probably grant their demands and make an appropriation for the construction of the surface sewer. The town officials at present ceive but scant salaries and an crease is expected to be voted. Show Your Patriotism. “Subscriptions are coming in very gradually” stated Chairman A. A. MacLeod of the general committee this morning” when asked concerning the progress Plainville is making in subscribing its allotment for the sec- ond Liberty Loan. Continuing Mr. MacLeod said that up to date only $34,000 worth of bonds had been sold but the prospective sale in the neigh- borhood of $16,000 worth of bonds was in sight. If these prospects materialize there should be at least $50,000 subscribed within the next few days. This will leave $49,000 to be subscribed to com- re- in- plete the minimum allotment for Plainville which is $99,000. Owing to the absence of J. H. Trumbull who was appointed as chair- man of a committee to arrange plans for a rally day no date has been set for the celebration. The house to house canvass is still in progress and good results a looked for from the workers, especial- ly the women. 3 Returns from several of the smal- ler factories show that nearly every workman has done his ‘bit”. The larger factorles are yet to be heard from and the returns emanating from the lgrger concerns are expected to boom the subscription list. A thermometer which registers the warmth of the patriotism of the peo- ple has been placed on the side of the Plainville Hardware store. Each day this thermometer will tell the story of how much was contributed the day previous. At present the arrow is pointed to $34,000 the amount re- ceived at the Plainville Trust com- pany from subscriptions turned in by members of the general committee. Will the mercury rise until the arrow proudly points to the fact that the entire $99,000 has beeh subscribed? This is the question which must be answered by the people of Plainville. “Let us bust the thermometer by over- subscriptions which originate in the ond Liberty Loan”, should be the slo- gan. It has been rumored that the em- ployes of the Rockwell-Drake divi- sion of the Marlin Arms corporation are contemplating subscribing through the main factory at New Haven for bonds. Insofar that the concern should patronize home industry they now have a chance to do their “bit” for thellown even t(:ough the employes at the local branch buy through the New Haven office as is illustrated in the following letter received by chair- man of the general committee A. A. MacLeod: “To local chairman: “In view of the general plan which was adopted of alloting to each dis- trict a certain quota of the second Liberty Loan based on the wealth of the community, it seems only fair that the various cities and towns through- out this district should have credit for subscriptions which orignate in the districts from actual residents or cor- porations who are assessed therein. “In the natural course of events some of the subscriptions originating ———— NOTICE. Special Town Meeting. The legal voters of the Town of Plainville are hereby notified that a Special Town Meeting will be held Monday evening, October 22, 1917, i the Town hall at 8 o'clock, to hear and consider the report of the Com- mittee appointed to look into the construction of a surface sewer sys- tem on Woodford Avenue. and, also, to take action concerning the same, and appropriate the necessary funds. Also, to consider the report of the Committee appointed to readjust the the clvil service law. Any informa- tion to the contrary is unauthorized.

(Signed,) WILLIAM L JOHNSON, CHARLES CALOR, WILLIAM C. HART, Board of Selectmen. from towns located near Boston and other financial centers, will be en- tered through banks and bond houses located elsewhere. A plan has been adopted by this committee whereby if any district knows of subscriptions of its residents being placed outside the district, and such district will notify the bank in which the subscription is filed to formally advise this commit- , tee of the date, name, subscriber and amount, said district will be given im- mediate credit on the books.of the Liberty Loan committee, without mak- ing any change whatsoever in the ac- tual filing and handling of such sub- scription. “You will appreciate that it is nec- essary that we have formal advice from the bank in order that this committee may be sure the subscrip- tion is actually in the reserve bank before the district is credited and corresponding deduction = made, 80 that our books may be at all times be in accord with the subscription books at the Federal Reserve Bank. “Yours very truly, “Liberty Loan Committee England”. It{s probable that a few of the actual residents of the town have subscribed in the neighboring cities or towns. By giving the date, name and the amount subscribed for to the of New chairman of the local committee the {} subscription can be transferred and Plainville will get the credit which officlals think is no more than fair. In the same manner the amount which the employes of the Rockwell- Drake division subscribe for, provid- ing they buy through New Haven, may be added to the Plainville sub- scription list thus helping to complete the town's allotment. Bravery Shown by Mrs. Burwell. Mrs. R. M. Burwell, in an effort to avoid running down four small chil- dren who ran in front of her auto- mobile on Hartford avenue, New Brit- ain, yesterday afternoon displayed ex- traordinary bravery and coolness by deliberately driving her machine into a fence. Owing to the fact that the car was being driven at a slow rate of speed Mrs. Burwell sustained no injuries and light damage was done to the car. Aoccording to her statement to the police she was driving southerly on Hartford avenue when four children started to run across the road in front | of the machine. As they were ap- parently oblivious of the danger and seemingly not aware of the approach- ing auto, Mrs. Burwell was forced to turn quickly onto the sidewalk and into a fence. During the excitement one of the children fell and was taken to a nearby drug store where it was found that she was not injured al- though she was suffering from fright.
