A thorough canvass of every residence will be made. Pledge cards will be distributed and it is ex- pected that everyone will contribute generously. The following plea is being made by the solicitors in behalf of the soldier boys: “If our boys, tired cold and mud- stained, could only knock at your door tonight, how wonderfully you would minister to them. With what eagerness you would comfort and feed them. You do this in your homes. Help the Young Men’s Christian asso- ciation and the Knights of Columbus to do this for you in the camps and at the front—iwhere you cannot go. Help them by heroic glving. Some are giving thousands; others are glving tens of thousands and large numbers jare giving sums In proportion to their {ability. All should have a share. Our boys, will give their lives to make America safe for you. They will make the supreme sacrifice to pre- serve democracy. What will you sac- rifice to give them a touch of home cheer and love, to help keep the home fires burning in their hearts? What- ever vou can contribute should be {glven quickly. The severe bitter months are just ahead. The time is short in which to meet the | urgent noeds.

O. A, Work Started This Morning— Petition Granted “New Haven Road. Raymond Messinger of this town is in a critical condition at the Hart- ford hospital as a result of a collision | in Bristol between his motorcycle and | an automobile driven by John Hop- kinson of that city. Messinger's skull is fractured and recovery is doubtful. Bdward Freeman, who was riding in & sidecar attached to the motorcycle escaped practically unhurt. No de- tails of the accident can be learned. ' Messinger is Messinger. For the purpose of re-arranging and granting increases in salary to town officers there will be an adjourned town meeting in the Town hall this evening at 8 o’clock. Judge A. H. Condell who was appeinted chairman of a committee to secure data anent the salaries of incumbents of office in other towns will make a report. The ‘old mystem under which select- men of the town and other officers are paid has been in vogue for a number of years and it seems to be the con- sensus of opinion that increases should be granted. At present the first se- lectman receives a salary of $2 a day and other officers are paid an accord- ingly low rate. An increased stipend will undoubtedly be granted at this evening’'s session, Campaign Starts. The campaign to raise $2,600, which the son of Charles l Y For the sake of all that is | is Plainville’s allotment for the Y. M. . A. war camp fund began this morn- ing and during the entire week efforts Wwill be made to successfully float the issue. The work is being carried on jointly under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. and the K. of C. During the next five days an active house-to-house campaign will be car- ried on by the workers who have been appointed by the local commit- tee of the State Council of Defense. These men have been divided into teams, each team having been as- signed a captain. The captain of each team and its members have been al- lotted certain streets in which they will solicit donations to the fund. Last evening at 8:30 o'clock there was a meeting of the workers in the town hall at which time they wero addressed by Charles H. Hudson, . A. worker who was with tho on the “‘Drive to Bag- In his talk he explained to the workers the nature of the campalgn and the value of the Y. M. C. A. among the-soldiers, both at home and at the front overseas. Considering the manner in which Plainville has always supported benev- olent causes, there seems to be little reason why this town will not suc- ceed in raising the amount allotted. The purpose of the project has been explained—the money will not only be used in war camp cities in this coun- try, but in war camps overseas and in war prison camps. The following paragraph is being used to stimulate patriotism by the Y. M. C. A. workers: ‘“The least you can give is the most you can give/ the willing dollar for every call. The man who says ‘no’ taday is either a slacker or a bank- rupt. ‘Can’t afford it’ The words are German—not American. Free- dom is cheap at any price.” Any of the men whose names ap- peared in Saturday's Herald will be glad to Teceive subscriptions to the fund during the coming week. From James J. McNally.

He lays speclal stress on the selling or glving of liquor to men in the United States uniform. Mr. McNally speaks of Sunday night as one partioular instance when he says that a number of military men Wwere at the station in. an in- toxicated condition. He thinks that the Home Guard should take some steps in the future to protect these boys who come to this town on fur- lough from the ‘‘rum hip-pocket ele- ment.” He states that there are those who -are ever ready to stick a bottle of Mquor in the face of a boy wearing a sacred United States uniform. He further states that he would give $100 if he could get this ‘‘nest” before Judge Condell that a little light might be thrown on their past and present. Although Mr. McNally is ig- norant of the identity or gain of these alleged offenders he thinks they are composed of those men who took such an active part in the last elec- tion by trying to keep Plainville in the “wet” column.
