Mr. Carter is the only per- son to date who has definitely an- nounced his or her candidacy for the | position, although it has been rumor- | ed about town for sometime that he was going to run again this year.

Johnson an- nounced this morning that the board of selectmen have met and voted not to issue a permit to C. B. Eastman, owner of the Community theater on Whiting street, which would allow him to have movies on Sunday night. Selectman Johnson has notified Mr, Eastman of the decision of the hoard Mr. Johnson said that it was neces- sary for the members to take this stand inasmuch as they had been pre- sented with several petitions against the holding of movies on Sun- day nights. He said that “several local societies” had strenuously objected to the plan and the petitions were signed by the heads of the organizations. Two churches, through their minis- | ters, had volced their opinions against the plan of Mr. Eastman and had noti- fled the board of selectmen of their | attitude, | The Advent Christian church and | the Baptist church congregations were not in favor of desecrating the sabbath by allowing the theater to run | and were the first to tell the board. | Mr. Eastman held moving pictures there last Sunday night despite the fact that he did not get any permit | from "Mr. Johnson, who told him he could not get the selectmen to meet | and act on the matter. He did not | authorize Mr. Eastman at that time what course to pursue so Mr. Eastman | having gone to the expense of hooking several big features, opened the theater. Mr. Eastman felt that by his doing so0, he could judge by the attendance at the theater whether or not the Plainville residents were in favor of Sunday movies. The house was pack- ed to capacity and Mr. Eastman was satisfied that the people would patron- ize him were he allowed to be open. Mr. Eastman told Selectman John- son that he would follow any plan the board saw fit, as he wished to keep in their good graces. Although he h been defeated this time, it is under- stood that he may make another at- tempt fer the permit iater on in case the attitude of the signers of the peti- ion may change during that period.

You love it because of its very helplessness, because it can’t tell you what is the matter when it feels bad. It can only cry and look to you for help. But theymore you love baby, the more you want to help baby, the more you ought to realize what a wonderful remedy | Fletcher’s Castoria is. It has been used for babies’ ailments for over: thirty years. An experienced doctor discovered Fletcher’s Castoria especially for babies’ use. It is a harmless substitute for Castor Oil, Paregoric, Drops and Soothing Syrups. Doctors who know what is safe and best for babies have only good to say of it. Don’t neglect your baby. Get a bottle of Fletcher’s Castoria and give baby a few doses of it. See how the little one smiles at you as if trying to thank you for helping it. Soon you will learn to depend on Fletcher’s Castoria, made just for Infants and Children, and of course you would not think of using anything for them that was not prepared especially for Infants and Children, So keep it in the house, cexuine CASTORIA ALways Bears the Signature of THE CENTAUR COMPANY, NZV/ YORK CITY be : found that during the night, someone | and | and long each ap- their aindows Eastwood JACKIE COOGAN 1S IN ‘TROUBLE” Starting Sunday —PALACE —. assed by from the store, had made entire length of glass cutter p instrument. are so deep that | Jjolt against the | gn would break them Trumbull Vacationists, | ¥ following employes at the | Electric Manufacturing enjoying their annual had tarting with or some of the a v ome cuts hane eas tronized The dancing appears to be the main attraction for the younger ele- ! ment of the town and the Alpha String orchestra furnished the music for this.
