After a lengthy hearing in the of- fice of Compensation Commissioner George B. Chandler in Hartford, yes- terday afternoon, an agreement in the case of Thomas Gallivan, of Portland, who was recently injured at the American Paper Goods factory, was Teached. Ag there was doubt as to how he was hurt, decislon was reserved by the commissioner. An agreement between the Employer's Liability company of New Haven whereby Gal- livan would be paid all the expense that he had incurred was reached. At the time of the injury, Gallivan was sitting "at hig ‘machine on - the third- floor of the:-American Paper Goods plant when he suddenly felt a .22 calber bullet rip its way into his left thigh. As the factory foreman was present at yesterday's hearing and said that taking into considera- tion the height of the chair upon which Gallivan was sitting and the dimenslons 6f the window through which the bullet was supposed to have entered the bullet would have to take a most irregular course before it struck Gallivan. It is thought .that possibly a piece of flylng metal hit him. As the bullet or metal still is imbedded in Gallivan’s thigh and as the commissioner was uncertain as to this point and desired X-ray pictures taken and wanted an engineer to take "a diagram of the place where the acctdent occurred, which entailed a large expense, an agreement was reached which proved eatisfactory to all concerned.

A, and K. of C. Fund Reaches $2,000 Mark—Appeal Made to Every Citizen to Aid in Making the Campaign a Success. / Word has reached this town that James Leo McNally, son of James J. McNally, who is a member of the Na- tional Army and stationed at the can- tonment at Ayer, was the first to step out of the line when the commander of his company at the war ‘camp asked for volunteers to go ‘“over there.” JAMES LEO McNALLY. McNally was the first young man in Plainville to be drawn under the selective draft. Fle was cohsequently the first to be called for examination. He was the first to pass the examina- tion and he was the first man who did not file a claim for exemption. He was one of the first to receive his pink card ordering him to hold him- self in readiness for military service at 24 hours’ noeice and was also one of the first to recelve a green card which stated that he was included in the first 15 per cent to leave for Camp Devens. Shortly before the first contingent entrained in this town for the war camp, Mrs. James McNally, the mother of young McNally, passed away at her home on Whiting street. Tho young patriot was granted per- mission to e with the second contingent which he did. At present McNally is still sta- tioned at the cantonment in Ayer, Mass., but is ready to go ‘over the top” when asked for the sake of de- mocracy. Forester’s Club to Continue. At a meeting of the Forester’s club held last evening in their rooms on Plerce stroet the advisability of con- tinuing the activities of the organiza- tion during the winter months camo up for discussion. It was finally de- cided, that although the membership ranks of the club have been sadly de- pleted owing to the fact that a large number of members are in the serv- ice, it would best to continue in existence during the winter. Final preparations for the entertainment and dance whidh will be held in the | town hall Friday. Nov. 23 were also completed. : Entertainment will be | furnished by New Britain and Plain- ville talent. N Confronted by a bare possibility | that Plainville may fail to success- fully meet this war campaign lssue an appeal is being made to every citl- zen in the town. Everyone is, asked to contribute at least one dollar to this wir work fund of the Young Men’s Christian Association and the Knights of Columbus. Those who have contributed are asked to donate one dollar more to help insure suc- cess of the project. The total allot- ment for Plainville is $2,500. This morning General Secretary F. T. Wheeler announced that $370%6 had been turned in during the early hours of the day. This added to the amount raised through the efforts of the workers in the firét four days of the campaign brings the total amount up to $2,989.56. Thus it is seen that | Plainville is still over $400 short of its allotment. A meeting of the workers was held last evening in the town hall and provead to be an enthuslastic one. One of the workers who attended the Council of Defense dinner in Hartford Wednesday night recited some of the instances of the work carried out dur- ing the campaign. Reports of what the local teams have done during the last fow days were road. When those present at the meeting left the hall more interest was manifested by the workers than had hitherto been shown, Plans which were formulated at last night's session to make today the | higgest day of the campaign are now in action. Every worker is doing his { itmost to boom tho subscription list dvring the few hours before the cam- | paign closes. It was previously an-| nounced that the campaign wouid | close tonight ‘but this decision was ! changed’ and donatiods to the fund | will be gladly accepted at any time tomorrow. /!

In this way the boys are to earn the money they. have pledged and serve their country.” “A prize of a $2.50 gold piece has been offered for the first pledge to be completely paid. ““This prize is to be won by strictly hard work and not by money that has been merely given the boys by their parents in order to help them win it. !This campaign among the boys cnds Saturday night but they have until April 1 to pay up. “So wake up Plainville and give the boys your hearty support. . ./ “E.
