A number of autoists passing under the bridge had their machines stalled. One prominent Kensington mer- chant this morning indignantly as- serted that he called up First Se- lectman Alling and notified him that a warning should be placed at the bridge. He said he received the re- ply from the official “that is was not the town’s duty to supply warnings.” There seems to be a diversion of opinion as to whose duty it is but the fact remains that the bridge was un- suarded and the lives and limbs of pedestrians and automobilists were endangered.

Dr. R. M. Griswold treated the injured man and it was necessary to remove part of the index finger on his right hand. It will be several days before Storey will be able to return to work. Museum Week at Library, Due to the fact that there are a large number of Berlin exhibits be- ing displayed this week at the New Britain museum and as E. Burling- ham” Schurr of Worthington Ridge is the curator of the museum, a large number of local people are visiting at the institute. Of much interest to local people is an old map of Berlin which was recently donated by Mr. Older- shaw. It depicts Berlin at the time that New Britain was but a suburb and a part of this town and Worth- ington was a borough. Briefs.

A special meeting of the Knights of Pythias of East Berlin has been called to take action on the death of Joseph J. Morse. Ptlainville News BURKETT IS GIVEN 30 DAYS IN JAIL Pleads Guilty to Breach of Peace and Intoxication USED ABUSIVE LANGUAGE | Local Committce Appointed to Raise Plainville’s Allotment For Camp Community Recreation Fund Is Still $80 Short of Allotment. ‘War Pleading guilty to breach of the peace and Intoxication Dennis Burk- ett was arraigned in court yesterday before Judge A. H. Condell. He was sentenced to pay $7 and costs as the result of overimbibing, alcoholically speaking, and as an additional penalty for sthe abusive language which he used towards several women at whose homes he stopped demanding some- thing to eat, the judge imposed a pen- alty of 30 days at the Seyms street in- stitution in Hartford. Burkett, who proved to be a tramp | and admitted that he ‘“blew” into town yesterday from Bristol and halled from parts unknown, visited several of the local emporiums as soon as he “hit” Plainville. He continued his flirtation with old John Barleycorn and as a result finally arrived in a highly intoxicated condition and then started in his quest of food to satisfy the inner man. After leaving the center of the town he manoeuvered down East street as far as Hough street. Stopping at one of the residences he not only asked for food but demanded it. When food was denifed him it is sald he became abusive, calling several women in the locality names, which are not found in the vocabulary of a gentleman. As a result complaint was made to the po- lice and Officer Marino went to the scene. Without much ceremony Burkett was taken into custody and lodged be- hind the bars. Shortly afterward court was held with the result that the offender was taken this morning to the jail where he will serve a sen- tence of 30 days. Still $80 Short. 8. S. Gwillim, chairman of the com- mittee appointed to raise the allot- ment of $240 for the town for the War camp community recreation fund, announcéd this morning that at pres- ent in the neighborhood of $160 has been donated. Thus it is seen that the committee is $80 short of the amount allotted to Plainville and which they are bending all efforts to raise. If necessary the campalgn which is being waged during the pres- ent week will be continued until No- vember 10. Mr. Gwillim states that this fund Is r community recreation service out- the army camp and will in no way Interfere with the inside work being done by the Y. M. C. A. and other similar agencies. The money raised will be used only in providing recreational facilities for men sta- tioned at the war camp cities. Three dollars for each soldier and sailor in camp is the sum sought for. It will be used in building and main- taining community club houses for having motion pictures, entertain- ments of every description, dances, trips, athletics and home hospitality. These are the things which will help to relieve the monotony of camp life and which dollars contributed to the fund will help produce. Contributions will be received by any of the following men, who are members of the local committee: E. T. Brastow, R. L. Seymaour, Horace James, P. N. Prior, Harry Bonney, Frederick Bullen, J. E. Lamb, James J. Graham and 8. S. Gwillim. Olub Mecting Tonight. There Wwill be a meeting of the Plainville Young Men's club this evening at the town hall. The pur- pose of the session is to determine whether or not the members of the organization are In favor of cantinu- ing the activities of the club for an- other year, and if so, to make ar- rangements for the basketball season. There seems to be no doubt in the minds of members but what the club will continue its existence, although the membership of the organization has been materially depleted by the enlistment of a number of men in the service. At present there is enough money in the treasury to start the season in fine shape. Receipts from the basketball games held last year in the town hall proved to be large enough so that a cash balance was left over with which to start the ball rolling this vear. Only one or two members of las vear’'s basketball team are left from last year. In addition, Instructor Harry Schade, of New Britain, is also in the military and it will not be po: sible to engage his services to coach this year's team. It is probable that at tonight's meeting a schedule for the coming season will be mapped out, arrange- ments made ta engage the services of a man capable of instructing the vol- unteers for the team in the art of basket-throwing, and a date made for the first practice which, it is expected, | will be held in the near futurc. Last year the team had the priv- ilege of using the Town Hall only when games were to be played. At the town meating this year it was voted to let members of the club use the building for practice also. This will prove an incentive to members of the club who wish to have a tryout and, as a result, Plainville should be able to boast one of the best teams in the vicinity. Big Night Tonight.

As every- thing has been quiet and peaceful for several years on Hallowe'en night the officers do not expect any trouble. The usual festivitles commensurate with the occaslon will be carried out and several Hallowe'en parties will be held. A premature Hallowe'en party was given last evening by Miss Marjorle Strong at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Morse at 21 Broad street. About twenty-five people were present and an enjoyable time is reported. During the evening a musical program was carried out, dancing was held and re- reshments served. Special Meeting of Foresters. There will be a special meeting of the Foresters' club this evening at their rooms on Plerce street. The ad- visability of continuing during the winter months will be considered. Owing to the fact that the ranks of the Foresters arc slim at present because a large number of their mem- bers have enlisted in the service, ac- tivities of the organization may be discontinued temporarily. The re- maining members seem to be of the opinion that they are unable to bear the brunt of the burden by paying the expenses which will incur during the ‘winter. Some Rat, What? Plainville, in boasting of its many accomplishments, might add to the list that there is a champion musk- rat catcher in town in the person of Charles N. Basney, Jr. This young nimrod recently caught a muskrat | which weighed twelve and one-half pounds and the hide, when stretched, measured 20 inches long and 11 1-2 inches wide. Plainville Briefs.

The chief subjects taken up at the meeting were increasing the labor supply and better co-operation be- tween the government and shipbuild- ers. Atlantic coast steel shipbuilders de- clared the production of naval ana merchant tonnage would be impeded seriously, unless 300,000 workmen can be drawn from other industries. FORD LOSES SUIT.
