Gibney yester- \y afternoon by Mr. and Mrs. A. Ba- | n, of East Berlin, that their 15- iar-old daughter Eva left home Mon- \y night and has not since been ! tard from. It Is the bellef of her {rents and friends that she has' | tped. [Mr. Gibney said that a state-wide! search Wwill be made for the missing girl and every means available will be used to find her. Mr. Gibney spent a greater part of the afternoon sending out a description of the girl to all the surrounding towns and cities to watch out for her. | According ta the story related to' Mr. Gibney by the girl's parents, Eva returned from work Monday evening and told her mother that she was to resign her position at the American Paper Goods company, as the con- cern had changed its working hours. This, she said, would necessitate her leaving for wark on the earliest train | fn the morning. Mrs. Bacon is said | to <have upbraided the girl, where- upon she threw her hat and coat on the floor and rushed out of the house in an angry mood. When the girl did not return at a late hour a search was started. It was learned at the American Pa- per Goads factory that Eva called at the concern on the following ¢ay and gecured her pay. It is then sald that she went to the Kensington postoffico and wrote a letter to her parents tell- ing them that she was leaving for New York City, from where she in- tended to §o out West. She further informed her parents that they would pever see her again. The name of a young man with whom the girl was frequently seen has been placed in the*hands of the authorities. A search tg being made for him as well as the Arl. / and instructions will be given to Scouts | a very instructive manner how fires for distributing the Liberty Bond lit- erature.

The Berlin Savings bank this morning reports that the bond sale 1s progressing. given the local present campaign by Paper Goods company, committee in the the amount subscribed to the drive will be greatly surpassed, it is thought. In the last campaign the American Paper Goods factory officlals banking house in New Britain. Mrs. Charles M. Jarvis, general chairman | of the woman's committee, recently called at the concern and the officials promised to subscribe through the local bank. Wednesday, October 24, will be “Liberty Day” all over the country and an attempt will be made at this time to sell a great number of bonds here. Although nothing official has yet been decided on, it is believed that a patriotic meeting will be held in the Town Hall on this day. As Sunday has been designated as “Liberty Sunday,” special appeals will be made by all the local pastors. School Board in Session. Much indignation and displeasure was expressed by the members of the local school board in session at the Town pall last evening over the ac- tlon mxen at the recent town meeting when the report of the local finance committee which reduced the school budget for the ensuing year more than $1,500, was accepted. Although the town will eventually have to pay any bills that the school board con- tracts, according to the state law, the board decided last evening that the board was unjustified. S. M. Cowles, a member of the board, accompanied by Superintendent of Schools J. W. Dows, were present at the recent town meeting. At this time Mr, Cowles, fortified with some convincing arguments, in favor of having the budget as presented by the | board accepted, was not given an op- portunity to present the fact to the voters. Mr. Dows did not take the floor. Upon consulting counsel in New ! Britain, the board learned that the town will have to pay for any bills | contracted for running the school “provldlnz they are reasonable and necessary. It was also decided by the board | last evening through the request ot the local committee of the State Council of Defense, to allow the school children to raise money to help defray the expenses of the fare- well celebrations which are to be given to the drafted soldiers.

Present Map to Museum. | A map of Connecticut, printed in 1812, has been presented to Curator Edward B. Schurr of the Museum of Natural History and Art of the New Britain Institute by Olin Oldershaw of . Worthington Ridge. The map is splendidly preserved and depicts Ber- {lin as a thriving community. The clly* of New Britain at the time, according | to the map, was a part of Berlin and Worthington was a township. The map is on exhibit at the museum of the New Britain Library and should prove of much interest to the local people. Ldberty Chorus Plans. Plans for organizing a Liberty chorus in Berlin were discussed last evening at a meeting of the commit- tee in the Town hall. Chairman Les- ter Deming presided. State Musical Director, J. F. Stevens of Hartford was present and gave some valuable advice. The chorus will be organized on Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock a meet- Ing will be held in the Town hall.
