Vibberts, member of the Shuttle Meadow club is the latest in- dividual to be added to the roster of the *“Hole in One” club at golf. A cer- tain degree of skill, and a certain amount of luck, no one can say as to the proportion of each in such a con- tingency although it is granted that both are necessary, so combined that the 11th hole, about 160 yards, was made in one stroke by the player.

NEW VOTING RECORD SET IN PLAINVILLE Electors Respond by Hundreds During Barly Morning Hours SCHOOL CHAIRMAN RESIGNS United Athletic Club Meeting Poste poned Until Next Week Friday— Poultry Club Plans for New Egg Record System Among Members, All voting records were smashed at the local polls today, comparing the ?umbz-r of votes cast in the morning or this election as against other election days here. The voters crowded the Town hall continually, despite the drizzle and heavy rain at times and the bad weather did not | have any effect upon the women, who came in large numbers to cast their | ballots, ! At 7 o'clockM@®ne hour after the polls opened, there were approximate- ly 164 votes cast, which is regarded as a high mark for this town. After 7 o'clock this number grew steadily and at 10 o'clock there were more than four times that number who had voted. A. H. Dresser, moderator, had for his checkers Clarence Anderson, Charles Smith, Mrs. Fred Powers and \ Mrs. Charles H. Curtiss. The ma- chines were attended to by John Gleason, Carl Nilson, Frank Smith, George Bartlett and G. 8, Butler, The demonstrators were Merton Lamb, James Tierney and Edward Barrows. Both parties had automobiles busy /gathering in votes but this was hardly necessary as the interest in this elec- tion is greater than any other and the voters turned out without any en- couragement. The polls will close at 6 o'clock sharp tonight and it will be but a few minutes after that when the re- sults will be known and announced. The republicans are anticipating a landslide by a big majority, while the democrats are equally as.certain that they will win by hundreds.

Commander John Guiden of Brock- Barnes post, has informed the mer- chants here that assistance may be tendered the post by having their stores decorated by the Bennett Deco- rating company ,of Bridgeport which concern is paying the Legion five per cent. of the total amount col- lected for the work. This aids in contributing a small sum towards the Armistice day celebration and the cost of hiring a band from New Brit- ain and for the flags and flowers which the Legion plans to place on the graves of the fallen heroes. Sev- eral businessmen have taken the in- itiative to aid the Legion by sub- seription and Charles H, Newton has contributed by tendering Commander Guiden with a liberal check. United A. C. Meeting.
