Words of apprecia- tion for the co-operation of the towns- people, the pastors, '.hqr committees and the corporations were given this morning. Although the amount allotted to Berlin is § 00 the committees feel highly gratified with the result. The three districts subscribed as follows: Rerlin district : Kensington district East Berlin district .$1,271 1,040 Total . ESe A donation $250 was received from the Berlin Construction com- pany. A meeting of the members of the committees will be held at the home of Major Frank L. Wilcox next Wednesday evening and final reports will be made. Miss Hall to Play. In connection with “The Old Pea- body Pew” a charmingly quaint play to be given in the Berlin church next Tuesday evening, Miss Mary S. Hall consented to arrange a musical program. There will be organ selec- tions and songs by Charles Allen and Miss Stella Yeaman and an overture by the choir of the First Methodist church of Meriden. The play depicts the struggle of the faithful Dorcas society of 50 or 75 vears ago to care for their old church. The people of the present day who have wrestled with the prob- lems of the furnace committee, the organ committee and the church cleaning committee will sympathiza with the arduous efforts of these old- time ladies and rejoice in the final mastery of their problem of carpeting the empty pews of their dear old church. Within the play ‘s woven the charming love story of Nancy Went- worth, her cat Zekiel and Trustee Pea- body. The costumes worn by the players are old gowns and the bon- nets and shawls date back many a vear. The play will be introduced by | some old-time songs by Mr. Allen and Miss Yeaman. The program promises much amusement and pleas- ure. The proceeds are for the Woman’a has hy. both employes of the New Haven road who live at the railroad camp, entered Mott's restaurant in Kensing- ton last evening. After partaking of a hearty meal, the men thought they would like to end the sumptuous re- past by indulging in a smoke.

A large delegation of local rooters is expected to be present at Turner hall tonight to see Alvah Ventres, “Berlin’s Blacksmith,” wrestle with A. Peterson, in the maln bout. Ven- tres and Peterson wrestled and after grappling for an hour nelther could register a fall. Tonight's bout will be to a finish. Ventres is In pink of con- dition for the contest while Peterson | is said to have also gone through ex- tensive training. Both men have never been defeated on the mat yet and both are confident of vietory.

Not desiring to have the case tried in court, Mrs. Julius Rakowski of Kensington approached Joseph Kingo vesterday and tried to effect a settle- ment for the damage done to his property by the trespassing of her chickens. Kingo, however, did not care for a settlement and told Mrs. Rakowski that he wanted the case tried. Mrs. Rakowski appeared be- fore Judge Griswold this afternoon in the town cour a Officers Re-elected, At the annual meeting of the school board officers for the ensuing year were re-elected as follows: Presi- dent, John T.

PRIOR | IS NOW FIRE CHIEF Accepts Appointment As Head of | Plainville Hose Company WAS ASSISTANT GHIEF Plainville Goes “Over the Top” by ! Subscribing $2,562—Amount Will Probably Reach $2,600—Boxes Are Sent to Soldiers Overseas, Edward P. Prfor had been appoint- | ed as head of the Plainville Hose com- pany to succeed Minton A. Norton, who resigned as Fire chief Thursday. The appointment did not come as any great gurprise inasmuch as he was tho only loglcal candidate for position and his election was expected. A letter was sent to Mr. Prior sev- eral days ago by the chairman of the board of fire commissioners offering him the appointment but it was not known until last evening whether he would accept. The fire board held a meeting last night in the town hall at which time Mr. Prior officlally an- nounced that he would accept. | Chairman Thompson of the fire | board this morning stated that an assistant chief of the department had not yet been chosen but that the place would be fillled in a few days. Michael Sullivan seems to be the probable candidate. Only the chief and the assistant chief are chosen by the fire board and the vacancy which will be caused in the ranks of the company if Mr. Sullivan steps Into the agsistant chief’s position will have to be filled by popular vote. That the board of fire commission- ers made a wise choice in selecting Mr, Prior, who formerly served as as- slstant chief, to lead the department seems to be the consensus. He has been connected with the company for & number of years and has been fore- most In the organization’s activities. In addition he bears the reputation of being an excellent fire fighter and has always been in evidence when the company is called out for duty. It has been mainly through the efforts of the present chief and ex-Chief Nor- ton that the efficlency of the hose company was brought up to the high standard which it now maintains. Chief Prior {s a native of Plain- ville and the son of the late John Prior and Mrs. John Prior of Broad street. He attended the local school and for a number of years was em- ployed as an express messenger on the railroad. He was married sev- eral years ago to Miss Margaret Brady of Syracuse and they made home on Broad street. Two | children have blessed the happy | union, a boy, Kenneth, and a daugh- | ter, *‘Louise. i Poljtically Mr, Prior is a democrat and has been prominent in town elec- tlons. At present he serves in the officlal capacity of justice of the peace. He Is a tinsmith by trade and is asso- clated with Minton A. Norton in the Plainville Hardwaro store. In the past he has been known to intimate friends as ‘“Eddfe” but now the nom de plume can be changed to “Chief.” “Over the Top.” : The town of Plainville was one of the first towns in Connecticut to over- subscribe the First Liberty Loan; Plainville was the first town in Con- necticut to oversubscribe the second Liberty Loan and now it appears that this town was among the foremost to subscribe its allotment to the Y. M. C, A. and K. of C. war camp fund. People here can be justly proud of Plainville. It was announced this morning by Chairman F. T. Wheeler that the town went over the top in the campaign to raise $2,600 for the war camp fund. Statistics compiled yesterday showed that the residents of the town had donated $2,562 to the cause. Further than that contributions are still com- ing in and an active part is being played by the workers today. In all | probability over $2,600 will be raised in the town.

Benzon The school children to date have turned in $40.30 and an additional| amount will be turned in before night. A record has been kept of all those who contributed or refused to donate | to the fund by the workers who car- ried on the house-to-house canvass. Reasons given by those who refused to help in the work are also being kept on flle. Practically every man and woman and a large number of children in the town gave generously and as much as they could afford. Many touching instances are told by those who helped in the campalgn. i An interview with one old lady was strikingly impressive. 'When one of the canvassers visited her house and asked for a donation for the boys in the service she replied that although she did not possess much worldly good she wanted to do her “bit.”” And she did. She handed the worker a small contribution which was in real- ity more than she could afford. Other instances are told similar to this one and which show the spirit which pre- dominates the people of the town. In many cases many sacrificed to help the fund along. The work was, however, not with-| out its humorous side. One of the. more industrious canvassers visited a certain house three times. He thought it strange that no one answered to his knocking on either of his visits. Later he found that the house was untenanted and had not been occupied for some time. Chairman Wheeler wished to thank the worKers for their tireless efforts made during the campaign and for their help in bringing the issue to a successful conclusion. He also stated this morning that he wished to ex- tend a vote of thanks to the press. At the Churches.
