Many deaths have been reported from these places due to these diseases, but none have occurred in this tpwn, as Dr. Griswold and his associates have ! worked hard to prevent the spread. Cantata Is Largely Attended. There were many in attendance at the cantata given by the Kensington Congregational church combined with the Kensington Methodist church at the Congregational church last even- ing. The choirs of both churches assisted greatly in making the affair a success and were alded by Mrs. S. M. Cowles as organist and George Ward as violinist, Rush Well Handled. The holiday rush at both of the local post offices was well handled especially by Postmaster Fagan in the Kensington office. This morning in his office there were several Christ- mas packages to lled for but he claims they will be sent out today and the holiday rush will be over with until next year.

Besides his regular staff of three Fagan has had one extra man to help him take care of the situa- tion. In the Berlin office things did not move so smoothly as Postmaster Barrett has a few mail bags which be has yct not opened and which it is thought contained many holiday gifts. He will, however, open them sometife today and hopes to see his to normal conditions by the end of this week. Many Go Skating. Many took the chance of skating on comparatively thin ice yesterday and the local ponds were flooded with crowds of skaters from New Britain as well as Berlin and other nearby towns.

The ‘drive locally has not been started as vet, but plans are now under way, nd probably, by the end of the week, it will commence. The exact quota for the town has not been decided | opens. It is thought however, that the sum of about $1,500, will be raised. New Britain will have some- thing like $26,000, Southington about ! $2,500. The drive will be conducted ! by the selectmen and the officials of | the branch of the Red Cross. A committee was appointed by the sclectmen yesterday for the purpose of aiding. They are: Charles H. New- ton, president of the Plainville Bus- and Improvement association. Mr. Hills will have charge of soliit- ing the business men. Rev. Burton, pastor of the Church of Our S: ur, will cover the churches. Rev. John T. Fay, pastor of Our Lady of Mercy church, will represent the Knights of Columbus and the Catholic resi- dents in town. John Lamb. of the Red Cross, will solicit througch this branch, w Selectman William J. John=on, have charge of the town in general. Edwin Hills will oversee the drive in the factories, assisted by Frank T. Wheeler of the Arumbpll Electric manufacturing company. A meeting has been Thursday evening, when the com- mittee appointed will outline dis- tricts to solicit and other plans for the drive. They will meet at the Town hall. It is the hope of the officials in charge of the relief fund, that the people of Plainville will re- spond readily to the urgent need of money. The quota mentioned is not large compared to the other towns, and Plainville should not have any difficulty in raising it, is the belief of the selectment. Other drives for a much larger sum, have gone ove the top. 2 Bedford—Gladwin Wedding. Miss Inez Gladwin, daughter of Mrs. Bardwell E.
