A Ford automobile bearing the li- cense §9-940, owned by Peebo Pouchi of Kensington, struck a telephone pole this morning at about % o'clock. It appears that the car was coming from Meriden and was in the center of the road, between the trolley tracks. The driver was coming down the street at a fair rate_of speed and i trying to turn out from the tracks skidded across the street and landed against the pole. The right rear 'wheel of the ma- chine was smashed and the right hand | side of the car was severely dented, including the mudguard and running board. The heavy rain of, last night and this morning was the’cause of the accident. The machine was owned by Peebo Pouchi of Kensing- ton onight. The school board wifl meet to- night in the Town Hall.

Thomas Baratierro [ERALD, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1920. " PLAINVILLE NEWS HEARING HELD ON INTOXIGATION [}ASEI | James McNally Is Fined in Local Court LEGION FAVORS . _BURUS' A, Wedding Held at Church—Mere | chant’s Opinion on Xmas Trade— Man Taken Il at Restaurant—Meth- odist Church Sale—Other Items. James J. McNally ¥r., of Whiting street, was arraigned before Justice Merrit O. Ryder in the Plainville Town Court last night, charged with drunkenness. - Attorney Stanley 8. Gwillim prosecuted. McNally was ar- rested by Constable Carl Anderson at Central Square Saturday night. He was found guilty of the changes and a fine of $5 and costs. was Impoled.l which amounted to 416.50. McNally appealed the case. It will be tried at the March term of Superior court. McNally is the son of James J. Mec- ‘Nally, a well known local garage own- er. who conducts a place on Whiting street. When asked where he got the liguor the accused replied that it was secured in Farmington. He also In- sisted. fhat it was merely hard cider and was no beverage containing a per cent of alcohol. McNally was in com- pany with several other young men of the town. R - The authorities are of the belief that the liquor was purchased in a local store. This is hot the first time that arrests have been made for drunken- ness within the past few' months. Only a short time ago, one of the local stores was examined, as the officers felt that the proprietors were violating the law by selling intoxicating bever- ages. None was found, however. Then again, the authorities feel that many of the drunks are due to the fact that some of the men carry a quantity of “Jakey” with them, and when buying a drink of cider; mix the contents. This will give any one a “kek” that would land the strongest drinker in jail it is said. A close watch will be kept on places where liquor is supposed to be sold, and the violaters will be punished to the full- est extent of the ldw, if the authorities have their way. Married at Church. Miss Antionetta DiCenzio and Dom- Inico LaFemine, both of this town, were quietly married at the Church of Our Lady of Mercy yesterday morn- ing. The wedding took place at 9 o'clock. Rev.John E. Fay performed the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. LaFemine plan to make their future home on Whiting street. Post Holds Meeting. The members of the Brock-Barnes post, American Legion, held a meet- ing at the post headquarters on Pierce street last night. There was a large attendance. The election of officers did not take place last evening but will be held at the next meeting on December 27. A vote was cast last night acting on the state bonus referendum. This proved favorable wih the post mem- bers and a good majority of votes in favor of it were received. Adjutant John Guiden will mcke a report of this to the state adjutant. The post made no definite plans for the future with the exception of completing the pop- ularity contest. The contest has been in progress for some time now and will come to an end before Christmas Day. With the contest for the most popular young lady in town, great in- terest has becn tiken by the towns- people. It has also held the interest of the school children which was the purpose of the post in bringing for- ward to them as much as possible, the doings of the organization. Taken Suddenly I Daniel O’Brien, who resides in the new Neri Brothers' block at Central Square, was taKen saddenly ill while in Dan Collin’s restaurant yesterday afternoon.

The sale will include food, fancy articles made by the members, and home meade candy. H Christmas Spirit. | In regards to the coming Christmas ' trade and the spirit the local towns- people will have, some of the store keepers have ventured to give their opinion on this subject. Garfleld Jones, manager of tre leading cloth- ing store and the P: Hutton and Son’s of Central Square, feels certain that the trade this year will be fully as large as on all previous holidays. Notwithstanding the fact that many are out of employment, and the local factories have been hit hard by the sudden business depression, the people will spend as freely as before it is thought. The majority of the people usually 'wait until the week -before Christmas to buy their gifts, which is shown by the fact that they did not take advantage of the large reduction sales which have been In progress dur- ing the past few weeks by many stores in town. It is also thought that should the people continue to buy steadily, the present stock will soon be exhaust- ed which @vill necessitate the opening of the textile mills in order to fill the orders which will eventually come in. The local hardware stores repori that farm implements have been sell- ing very well which indicates that the farmers plan for an active season. The agrlcunural.emchlnery has been going steadily and "farmers have purchased some that they have never Dbefore found use for. They reason that with the use of these, the crop will be aided some when it comes to planting | time and the harvesting next year. To Try Whistle. Fire Chief Edward P. Prior an- nounced this morning that a new fire | whistle has been installed at the Bris- tol Mlls company. The whistle will be | tried at noon tomorrow and there need | be no cabse for alarm.

It had previously met on the first and third Mondays of each month. They will now be held | on the second and fourth Tuesdays of | each month.

Ivan was fined $7 and costs by Judge B. J. Alling.
