A representative of the Bucholz company of Hartford was present, and after an-informai discussion, it was decided by the council to award the eontract for the erection of the board to the firm. The board will be 10x16 feet in size and will be placed on posts. It is planned to make the board large enough for 150 names, aithough there are at present onky ®bout 80 from here who are serving Trtle Sam. The board will be of uhm metal mnd iron. It will be decorated in triotic colors of Red, Whiteé and lue. On top it will be adorned with | ornamental work and on the bottom It will be interwoven with lattice work. The cost of the board will be ap- proximately $200, this amount hav- ing been appropriated for the purpose at & recent town meeting. “ Although it was at first planned to have a design similar to that in Bast Hartford, it is now possible that Ber- Hin will have an original board. As- sessor Charles J. Mueller, the well- known designer, has gratuitously of- fered his services. and will endeavor to make a d board will be-started at once.

Speaks on Conmservation. * An interesting paper “On the Con- servation of Food” was read at tho regular prayer meeting at the Ber- lin Congregational church last even- ing by Charles H. Aspinwall of Worth- ington Ridge. MY. Aspinwall clearly told how this war can be won by the conserving of food and showed how the co-operation of everyone 1s necessary. . Many practical ways of saving food were bmught out by the speaker. Mesting Postpnn(-d. The adjourned annual meceting of the Men’s Lyceum of the Kensington Congregational church which was to be held in the church parlors this evening has been deferred as a num- ber of the members are to attend the war rally in Hartford." The date of the postponed meeting will be an- nounced in a few days. To Attend War Rally. / Berlin will be well represented at the war rally to be held in the state armory in Hartford this evening. Re- served seats have been sent to all the members of jthe local Council of De- fense and they will attend in-a body. Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt and Governor Marcus H. Holcomb -will be speakers.

Emerson of Kensington was last evening appointed by the lo- cal council of defense to have charge of the Y. M. C. A. War Fund cam- paign that is soon to be conducted in this town. Plans as to manner of carrving on the drive have not been given out.yet, but it is believed tnat it will be conducted along lines sim- ilar to the liberty Toan and food con- servation campaigns. The work that is being done by the for the local board that will be. original in every respect. Mr. Mueller plans to have his design completed by Sunday and if it is ac- pepted by the council, work on the Y. M. C. A. during the present war, not only in this country but in France, is remarkable. Bulleting ex- plaining what the organizations are doing at the camps, especially at Camp Devens, have been placed on the war bulletin boards, Hundreds Sign Pledge Cards. Hundreds of pledge cards for the conservation of food during the war, have been signed by Berlin rasidents.

The wrestlers, hunted and chased game over the country, walking at least fifty miles a day. Bvery even- ing, before retiring, they would run five miles. Ventres recently met the hardest opponent of his career when he wrestled with A. Peterson, Norwegian mat artist. The two experts wrestled for an hour without either being able to register a fall. The bout on No- vertber 17 will be to a finish. = Al- though Petergon is much larger than Ventres, the local boy is confident that he will be able to throw his op- ponent. It is expected that many ad- mirers of Ventres will be present to witness the match. Joseph J. Morse. The funeral of Joseph J. Morse, ‘who dled Wednesday at his home in East Berlin, ;was. held this afternoon at 2 o’clock from his late residence. Rev. C. F. Dodge, pastor of the East Berlin Methodist Episcopal church, of- ficiated and interment was in Wilcox cemetery. Members of the Knights of Pythias Were pall bearers. The high esteem which was held for Mr. Morse in the community in which he had lived durlyg the greater parts of his life was eviddnced by the large number of floral wreaths sent as silent testimonials. Words of regret and flowers were feceived from all parts of the state, as Mr. Morse was | well known as a progressive farmer, not only in Berlin, bu' throughout New England. A number of socleties with which Mr. Morse had been -affiliated were Tepreseénted at the funeral. Resolu- bors for his whole-heartedness and straightforwardness.

Why not use part of the tobacce fund to buy ‘“smokes” for Plainville boys who are in Francq? This is a question which is being kked by res- idents of the town who, through let- ters written by local young men who were first to step foot on the shores of sunny Fragce, have become fully ac- quainted ith the part that good American cigarettes and tobacco play in relieving the monotony of camp life and in bringing cheer to those :vho will be the first to go /t)ver the op.” Letters written to mothers and friends by thosé who responded to the call to the colors and, consequently, Were the first to be sent across, por- tray that tobacco—especially Ameri- can tobacco—is almost a necessity in the life of the average soldier. When not engaged in military tactics and during hours of rest, the boys write that they automatically seek the pleasure which a pipe or cigarette fur- nishes. Further, they state that American tobacco and cigarettes are scarce; iin fact, they say that they are a luxur} Each letter tells of the poor quality of the French product which has to serve in place of the American weeds which the boys had become ac- customed to. The boys write that they would do almost anything for a can of good old American tobacca or & box of cigarettes made in the United States. At present there are almost as many enlisted men from Plainville in France as there are drafted men sta- tioned at the cantonment at Ayer. There are fully twenty men who, at the time of enlistment or formerly, were residents of this town and are now ‘somewhere in France.” These men will be the first to, receive the intensive traininggythat all men get prior to being sent into active service. ‘They will be the first to endure the hardships offered by life in tho trenches. They will be the first United States troops to go “over the top” for democracy. They will, be- yond a doubt, be the first Plainville boys ta help in the battle against auto- cracy. They, no doubt, will give a good account of themselves. For these reasons, citizens state, every possible comfort should be pro- vided for them. They need good American tobacco as much as any- thing at the present time. The gov- ernment provides them with clothing and food commodities, but not tobac- co and cigarettes. At present Plainville has a tobacco fund. Through dances and various activities the Plainville Hose company succeeded in raising over $100 for the fund, of which Fire Chlef. Norton is the custodian. The fund was raised with the purpose of providing smokes for the drafted men only, as far as can be learned. Inasmuch as the drafted men are stationed at Ayer, which is only a comparatively short distance fram the town and can be reached in the course of a few hours, either by train_or auto, and the men themselves are in easy access of their friends and rela- tives who wish to visit them, resi- dents of the town are of the opinion that something shauld be done for the boys who are now in far-away France. In letters home, the local boys state that they would also appreciate an American newspaper.. The newspa- pers which are furnished to them tions on his death were drawn up and sent to his family. Mr. Morse was known by his neigh- prominent in politics, having served tye town as canstable, tax collector and registrar of voters, holding the latter office at the time of his death. His death came unexpectedly and words of sympathy and regret have been expressed by all. Moore Wins Coal. When Bernard P. Moore, of Ken- sington, awoke this morning he was surprised to learn that'he ‘had sud- denly become.a wealthy man. Sev- eral weeks ago, Moore, as did hun- dreds of other residents, invested his pennies in a chance to win a ton of coal. At a drawing held last evening by Court Maitabessett, Foresters of America, Moore held the lucky num- ber and wm be given ‘a.free ton of coal. About $40 was raised by the raffle. This money will be used by the court to supply ‘“‘smokes” for the soldier boys.. There are at present a number of young men from the court serving Uncle Sam, and the Foresters will take this means.of letting the boys know that they have not been for- gotten. Plans for supplying Christmas bags for the local soldiers are being made By a number of organizations. Pres- ents will be sent to the “Sammies” in France, as well as to the boys at Camp Devens.
