Mr. Petty said that « BETTY AND HER BEAU there were over 3,500,000 children in Europe who are practically destitute as a result of the war. ands have been left fatherless and mctherless. He added that the crops of the war-beatgn countries are not up to expectations and they are de- pending upon this country for food. Possibly there is a chance to obtain food in Europe, but they have no money to buy it with. It is for this purpose that Herbert Hoover is asking those people of the American republic who can give to do all in their power to ald those stricken, he continued. He also made note of the fact tiat the European crops will not be ready un- til next fall, but before this time the children must have food. “Ten dollars will save the life of a child antil the fall crop.

Dangerous Practices, Bullets have been flying thick and fast in East Berlin during the past few days, so much so that it has droused the ire of several residents who have narrowly escaped being hit. Upon investigation it was found that a number of the boys at the Hub- bard school had secured several boxes of bullets, and to fire them off had struck them or hit them with rocks. The matter was brought to the at- tention of the local authorities last evening. It was learned that two boys had received superficial wounds re- sulting from their escapades. Two painters who were working on a building on Cottage street made a hasty descent to the ground when some boys began exploding cartridges. The men could not be induced to re- sume their work until the youngsters had been warned away from the neighborhood. A number of the cartridges have been taken by the authorities but it has not yet been learned how the children secured them. Any more outbreaks of this nature will resalt in prosecution as the lives of other children are inexcusably endangered.

The fund drive for the Far East relief. for the starving children of Europe, is at a standstill in this town. A committee was ‘appointed recently .to oversee the work, but as yet, nothing has been done towards money. A sum of about $1.500 has been allotted for Plainville to raise. Frank T. Wheeler had been nmamed head of the drive. but could not accept the office on account of other duties. Nothing towards ap- pointing another has been considered and it seems as if Plainville would fall behind in this drive. If so. it will be the first time, as the town has always had a reputation for going over the top in drives of this nature. The New Britain oflicials, in charge of the drive therc. have interviewed the Jocal men in resards to the pro- position, in an attempt to have some- thing staried. TEvidently this failed and the gatter stands as it is, a com- mittee appointed, with no funds raised. Notices church —Preach- ing by the pastor at 10:45 a. wm. Sabbath schaol at 12 o'clock nooin.
