FIRST WOMAN MAYOR DIES IN ENGLAND Hartford County Farm Bureau, will appear before the Grange this week to advocate a farm school in Berlin This school ¥ 1is generally conducted for four days at some convenient point, from 9 o’clock in the morning to 4 o’clock in the . afternoon. Instructors are furnished by the Agricultural college of the Hartford County league. The only expense to the town is the cost ‘of entertaining the instructors while the schools is being conducted. The Extension school is an institution in agriculture and economics for adults. Its purpose is to emphasize the funda- mental and economical principles on which the practice of agriculture and home making and the conservation of food products are dependent; to dem- onstrate the best methods of applying * these principles on the farm and in the home; to find the most efficient application of these principles to the farm and to the home problems of the community. Red Cross Campaign. Dr. Elizabeth Anderson Had Distinc- i tion of Being Exccutive Over Aldeburgh, London, Dec. 18.—Dr. Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, the first woman to be elected as mayor of a town in England and a prominent physician died at her home in Aldeburgh, Suf- folk, yesterday. Dr. Elizabeth Garrett Anderson was born in 1836 and was married in 1871 to J. G. S. Anderson, a ship owner. Refused admission to the examina- tion of Colleges and Surgeons and Physicians, she passed the medical examination of the University of \Paris in 1870. She was a member of the first school board for London from 1883 to 1893. Dr. Anderson was dean of the London school of medicine | for women. Dr. Anderson was elected mayor of { Aldeburgh in 1908. The Red Cross campaign has been ' opened in Berlin and the leaders re- port that the residents of Berlin and ~ Kensington are making a splendid re- sponse to their appeal for help. Miss Rohm, who has charge of the cam- paign in Berlin, was kept busy at her booth in the post office this morning. She received a number of subscrip- tions;, among which was a life mem- bership by Major Frank L. Wilcox. The booth will be open after regular H & postoffice hours until 9 o’clock. The first class in surgical dressings will be held in the Red Cross rooms at 7:30 Friday evening. Mrs: Walter H. Hart of New Britain will be there to give instructions. Anyonc desiring to enter the class may communicate with either Miss Rohm or Miss Hus- ton. - The committec has dccided not to conduct the house-to-house member- ship campaign, owing to the condition of the roads and for the early part of 11 rely solely upon the is probable, however, that such 8 campaign may be held at a later date. There will be a Red Cress meeting Wednesday evening in East Berlin at which the campaign will be launched. ;| The speakers will be Bi, Samuel Ttussell of A ReV. Samuel A.

This sailor, whose name he could not recollect, had been a member of the crew of the -ill-fated Astec, torpedoed and sunk. The young sailor, who resides in the wicinity of Hart street, was among those saved and is now on the Finland. & Americans Too Daring. From his observations abroad, par- ticularly in England, Sailor Hoar states that there is a feeling of hds- tility between the British and Amer- ican soldiers that has not been cleared up. The British feel that the United States took entirely too long in enter- ing the war and blame this country for not entering sooner that it might have been ended quickly. Before the U. S. entered the war, he states, an "American soldier or sailor could not land where the British were without getting into a verbal or fistic encount- | er and now, although the antagon- ism is not so pronounced, there is not the best of brotherly love between the men of these two armies. In England the local man said he saw a great many American soldiers and from conversation with French and English officers he learned that they are already doing their bit in the front line trenches. The only criticism that the British.and French have of the American soldlers is that they are entirely too aggressive, too daring and take too many chances. This was the same fault as was found with the Canadian soldiers when they went across. Speaking of general conditions In England, the young sailor said that the people seem very stolid, have but little comment to make on the pos- ! sible outcome of the war, but are doggedly pursuing it to what they hope will be a successful culmination. The only intimation of how the Eng- lish fee] he obtained from a talk with a British soldler who said: “Well, I guess its pretty lucky that the United States got into it.”” As yet there seems to be no grave shortage of food in Bngland, but there is a great shortage of tea, which bothers the people very much. There is also a great scarcity of sugar and butter. Of the latter the people are limited to three-quarters of a pound per week for every four people in a family. There are also but few matches to be had in England and one English- woman whom Sailor Hoa~ met tald him she- had had a candle burning continuously in her home for two weeks lest:she.lose the precious flame and be without fire. Sailor Hoar will report back to his boat tomorrow, but hopes to be home »| for over Christmas. ¥ Pictorial Roview Plainville News NEW TOWN HALL PLAINVILLE'S HOPE Gommittee of Investigation Ap- pointed at Meeting of Citizens MAY REPAIR OLD ONE Capu\'n-Aflhllr Rudd of New York to Describe Honors of War at Red Cross Rally Tomorrow Evening— Liberty Chorus Will Sing. About 50, including town officials were present at a special meeting which was held last night in Grange hall in order to discuss the situation arising from the destruction of the town hall by fire a short time ago which has also brought up the ques- tion as to whether a new hall should be built or the old one, repaired and made to serve the purpose required by the town officials until a more suitable time for building the new hall is decided upon. The fact re- mains that the officials must have some place to carry on their business and at the present time are rather handicapped on account of being in cramped quarters. Gathered from last night’s meeting it seems .that the popular opinion is to tear down the upper story of the old hall and have it remodelled to enable the work of the officials to be carried on until the committee, which was appointed to look up a suitable location and plans for a new hall, make its report. A resolution was drawn up by the officlals which reads as follows: ‘“Re- solved—That a committee of three, consisting of H. Trumbull, F. Osborne, C. Newton and the first selectman, be appointed to investigate and recom- mend at an adjourned or special town meeting a plan or plans for. repair- ing’ or remodelling the old town hall. That the committee investigate the location, tentative plans, and some suitable plans for a new brick build- ing along with the costs and also the methods of financing the same.” It was reported that about $8,000 of insurance can be collected on the bill which was burned. The meeting | was adjourned until next Saturday night at 8 o’clock, when a report will ; be made by the committee. Red Cross Rally. Final plans have been completed for the Red Cross rally which will be held in the Congregational church to- morrow evening at 8 o’clock to en-| able the leaders to glve the people an idea as to the important and benevolent work performed by the society, The main event of the eve- ning will be a lecture by Capt. Arthur Rudd of New York, who jost returned from the battle s of France. He will tell of the i rest- ing experiences he had whilc over there and of all the. horrors of war- ridden Europe. He is a very inter- esting speaker and all who come to hear him are promised something that they may never have the chan-e of hearing again. One ‘of the feat- ures of the meeting. will be the Lib- ' erty Chorus, which has been organized with success and promises to be a worth while organization. All who like to sing are welcome to join. A ' rehearsal will be held in the church at 7 o’clock preparatory to the Red Cross meeting. Young women have been chosen to sell Red Cross Memberships at the booths which are to be set up in the Plainville Trust Co., H. A. James store and at the Plainville Post Of- fice. . At least one of these young women will be in attendance at the booths daily from 9 a. m. excepting Sundays Those in charge are as follows: Mrs George Seymour, Mrs. George Ny- strom, Miss Helen Eaton, -Miss Georgiana Booth, Miss Beatrice Ben- zon, Missg Jane Corwin, Miss Kathleen Crowley and Miss Alice McCall. The Ladies’ Benevolent society of the Congregational church will meet for work on Wednesday afternoon from 2 to § o'clock at the home of Mrs. Willam FEaton. Mrs. H. A. Cas- tle will report on a meeting recently held in Hartford of the women'’s com- i mittee of activities of the National Council of Defense. All the women of the church are invited to attend. The mid-week meeting this week will be held at the parsonage on Thursday evening at 7:30 o’clock. The topic to be discussed /will be ‘“The Gospel According to You.” Fourteen New Members. Miss Alce McCall who is recruiting Red Cross members at the post office booth, reported that up until 6 o’clock last night she had taken in fourteen applications for membership in the assoclation. The campaign is to be continued for the rest of the week and it is hoped that a thousand or more members will be secured in order to make the drive a success. Oassidy May Be #n France. Frank Cassidy who joined the En- gineering Corps of the army and was stationed at Washington, D. C., has not been heard from by his relatives and it is generally thought that he is already in France, as he stated in the last letter that he expected to go “over there” in a very short time. A. A. McLeod of the Plainville Trust company has received a card from M. D. Myers, former Plainville reporter for the Herald, in which he states that he and Gage Kent of this town are stationed at Fort Slocum and are preparing to take their final’ examinations and to get their uni- forms in preparation to leating for Fthe sunny south.
