Beriin News | CONSTRUCTION 00, + MAKES BIG BRIVE, vEmployes o Concern Subscribe for $10,000 in Bonds TEN SCOUTS WIN MEDALS Austin Found Not Guilty in Hartford —Miss Moore Re-elected President of Aid Society—Alling to Represent Berlin at Celebration. The employees of the Berlin Con- ptruction company have again lived up to their traditions and have sub- | seribed more than $10,000 to Liberty ds. It is gratifying to note that every one of the employes subscribed to at least one bond, and in many cases to more than one, taking bonds for members of their families. The number of employes of this company is not any where near as numerous as many of the manufactur- % ing plants throughout the state and a great many of the employes are for- elgn born, many being Austrians and Germans, once more proving-that real ‘American men and women are not imply born here but are made here, ever ready at all times to render as- Bistance to their adopted country. They considered it their first duty to invest gladly their available means in the government bonds. It 14 not call for any great effort to secure the subscriptions. The men in most cases frequently asked for the bond application blanks and it was _ necessary in only a fcw instances to explain to the emploves that it was . their sacred duty to subscribe to theso bonds. In speaking of the campaign this . morning an official of the concern said that “the Berlin Construction company wished to express its appre- 4 clation of the splendid work their em- ~ ployees did in making the bond issue & success at the plant.” ‘It was surprising to note,” he said, “how the laborers responded. In some cases it was easier to secure a sub- scription from a foreigner than from ®» citizen.” The success of the sale at the plant can only be realized when it is noted that the concern employes only 150 help. Miss Moore Re-Elected. At the annual meeting of the Ladies Aid society of the Kensington Congre- gational church held yesterday after- noon, Miss Marjorie Moore was elected president for the ensuing year. Other scribed here for the second Liberty loan when the campaign comes to a close tomorrow. Although the mini- mum amount allotted to Berlin |is $88,000, doubt was expressed by Mr. Deming that this would be raised. There are a number of local people subscribing through other cities for which this town does not get credit. The American Paper Goods com- pany is also conducting a lively cam- paign at the factory and a large sale of bonds is reported. It is believed | that the concern will subscribe for | about $10,000 worth of bonds through the Berlin Savings bank. Easy pay- | ments on the installment plan make the sale of bonds feasible to the em- ployes. As the campaign is to close tomor- row, strenuous efforts will be made by | those in charge to have every one, | who is able to do so, buy a bond and | help the boys ‘“over there.” There are still a number of prominent men in Berlin, several of whom are said to reside in Bast Berlin, who have not! yet purchased bonds, and are able to do so. One prominent East Berlin farmer is sald to have positively re- | fused to purchase a bond, saying that he is not in a position to do so al- though he is reputed to be wealthy and possesses onc of the most up-to- gtato farms In this section of the Atate. Ten Scouts Win Mecdals. ; Ten local scouts, proved that they | are real young Americans this week by selling ten bonds and winning, as| { a reward, a handsome medal. Fol-! lowing a patriotic rally in New Brit- ain last week every local scout re-! turned to Berlin determined and a ' strenuous campaign was started on | Monday and ended last night. Scout-; | master Samuel A. Fiske reported to- | day that as a result of the boys’ campaign, subscripttons totaling $7,- 700 were secured. A canvass of every residence in the town was made | and many residents who had already purchased one bond were persuaded to buy another. The ten scouts who were successful in winning medals are as follows: Russell Nourse, Henry Mildrum, Rus- sell Case, Benjamin Cashman, Law- rence Aspinwall, Franklin Boardman, Theodore Skinner, Clayton Lewis, i Willlam Bollman and Rolland Cran- dall. Austin Not Guilty. Elmer E. Austin, former tax collec- tor, who was arrested in Hartford this week on the charge of driving an automobile while in an intoxicated condition, was found not gullty in the | Capital City police court yesterday. ! Austin was arraigned on Monday, but {his case was adjourned until yester- day, as the prosecuting attorney be- lieved that he could secure more evi dence to show Austin’s condition. As the arrest of Austin was unwarranted land no evidence could be brought in tto show that he was under the in- fluence of liquor, he was discharged. Mrs. Dean in Kensington. Mrs. J. M.

Mystery still surrounds the disap- Pearance of Donald Messenger, aged 15, and Tony Caputo, aged 17. Both boys have been missing since Tuesday morning. Efforts to locate them have been to no avail. Detectives in New York City, where it is thought they are, have - been communicated with. Recruiting stations in the vari- ous citles in the state report that neither of the two boys has offered himself for enlistment. They have been asked to be on the lookout for them. Tuesday morning, it is said, the two boys boarded a train for Hartford. From there it is thought they went ta New Haven and then to New York. It has been learned that they in- formed friends that they intended tak- ing a trip to the metropolis. Whether they left the town with the purpose of getting into the service is not known. It is likely that it was, relatives of young Messenger think, as he successfully passed the examina- tions at Hartford for seaman in the Navy, but was refused admittance into the service on account of his age. Caputo is said to have furnished the funds for traveling expenses, as Messenger had no money. Caputo was formerly employed at the Bristol Manufacturing company, giving up his position recently. He has one brother in town and one in New York City. The brother here denied knowing the other brother's address in New York, it is sald. Friends think that it is entirely possible that the young men have gone to visit Ca- puto’s brother in New Yark. No efforts will be wasted by friends and Telatives of young Messenger un- til he is found. His aunt, Mrs. Gra- ham, of Pierce street, was in New York Wednesday night and conferred with police and detectives. A picture of Messenger is now in the hands of the officlals. Friends ‘of the family in New York have been infarmed of his disappearance and are looking far him. ‘Wednesday night was the first night that the young lad ever spent away from home. For this reason it is thought by somre that he will get homesick and return to Plainville as suddenly as he disappeared. Never- theless, his mother and relatives aro plainly worried and search for him be continued until he is located. The machine gun company held their weekly drill last evening at the Town hall following which a meeting was held. It was decided to go to East Meriden Saturday for the pur- pose of having both machine gun tar- get practice and pistol practice. The entire company are enthusiastic over the chance which they will have to show their prowess as marksmen. The trip to the rifle range will be made by auto which will leave the Town hall at 8 o'clock. Members will assemble there between 7:30 and § o’clock. As there are several crack shots in the company some gocd scores are expect- ed to be turned in. There was also a drill of the medi- cal unit of the home guard last eve- ning at the Town hall. Owing to the fact that the company has no com- missioned officers, Top Sergeant Gage Kent is in charge. Two Committee Meetings. The commirtee appointed to aid in the food conservation campaign held a meeting last evening at the home of Mrs. A. D. Cady. Plans were formu- lated for the campaign whickh was started today. Mrs. Cady, chairman of the committee appointed a number of women to act as aides and 607 food pledge cards, which is Plainville's al- lotment, will be distributed among the housewlives, and others who handle food extensively. An effort will be made to have each of thesc cards signed before November 4 when the campalgn will be brought to a close. For the purpose of turning in the funds already donated members of the War camp community and recreation fund met at the home of the chair- man, S. S. Gwilim on Hough street last night. To date $149 ,has been given to members of thescommittee and will he used in helping to provide recreational facilities for ‘seidiers in the war camp cities. The total allot- ment for Plainville is $240. The cam- palgn will be brought to a close No- vember 4. e Arrangements Made. All arrangements have been made for transportation of members of the home guard who will participate in theé parade in New Britain tomorrow. The men will assemble at the Town hall at 12:30 and at 12:45 autos which have been provided for will leave for New Britain. The parade which will probably prove to be the best in the history will start at 1 o’clock sharp. A number of Plainvillites will prob- ably be present at the exercises. Capt. J. H. Trumbull, Lieut. S. S. Gwillim, of the home guard and First Select- man Johnson have been assigned seats on the reviewing stand. Fall in Line. Chairman A. A. MacLeod, chairman of the general Liberty Loan commit- | tee is in receipt of a letter from the Federal bank in Boston giving a list of the names of towns in Connecti- cut which were the first to oversub- scribe their ~maximum allotment.
