Jarvis has issued | the following open letter to the peopl of this town in the matter of keeping Berlin’s service men supplied with news from home: Berlin, Conn., Oct. 12, 1918. To the People of the Town of Berlin: I have been requested by Mr. Charles F. Lewis, Chairman of the War Board, to see that the people of Berlin as a people are put in closer, | more intimate and constant touch | with our boys, now in service. We will all agree that since the boys went to war they as a class have had but scant attention from us as a send a town letter at least once sesnd a town letter at least once a month to every man from Berlin in the service of his country; we ought | to send at least once a week some il- | lustrated paper or reading matter of some kind to each man from Berlin who is now either at the front or in mp, and in this way show our boys that we are thinking of them, that we | appreciate them, that we are ready, ! willing and anxious to get in touch with them and show them that we are | conscious of the sacrifice which they have made. For this work I have been | appointed and I accept the trust be- cause I believe that a great majority | of people in Berlin would be delighted ! to send an occasional word to the ‘boys if they had some medium through which they could do it. I| therefore ask for the co-operation of | every man, woman and child in the town of Berlin, to furnish me as often as possible with any news of any kind that will interest these bo: to fur- | nish me with newpaper clippings, even though they are nothing but short stories, and perhaps a squib of some kind that will while away some of the ' tedious hours in the trenches. Th are a whole lot of illustrated Sunda; papers taken through the town of | Berlin. Save the illustrated part, | leave it at the post office in Be lm,‘ | a Kensington and East Berlin, and I/ will attend to it. Copies of Puck, Judge, Life, or any of that class of | papers that will fold up small are ex- | actly what I want. Leave them at the | post office in your part of the town and I will attend to the r We have neglected our boys in this respect. Let there be no more n lect—co-operate—and we can be comfort and use to them. of . M. JARVIS.

Walsh, as pastor of the Church of Our Lady of Mer has yet been made, and it is probable that the vacancy will remain for a short time longer. It is probable that there will be a division n the parish over which Father Walsh ministered. It is ex- Matthew's pa h in be set aside as a sep- arate parish. This church has been under the direction of the pastor of the Church of Our Lady of ‘Mercy since its organization. Father Walsh was the founder. The parish has in- creased in membership, and it is be- lieved that the church authorities will decide that it should be ministered to by a resident priest. St. Patrick’ church in Farmington, another mis- sion of the parish of Our dy of Mercy, will probably be continued as ission of the local parish, not known whether Walsh left a will. Searches thus far do not reveal one. Liberty Da A general observance of Liberty Day on Saturday is being planned. There will be one delivery of mail in the morning.

The town has yet to sub- scribe $22,000 in order to attain the town's quota. The canvassers feel that the town is now in the “glean- work before. It y e that by Saturday every wage earner in Plainviile will have been solicited and there is no reason why there should be a home in Plain- ville without a bond of the Fourth series.
