The railroads and trolley lines will run one hour ahead of schedule, Many of the towns in this vicinity have adopted the new schedule, among them being Hartford, New Britain, Plainville; Bristol and South- ington.

C. garage on the 'pike north of Berlin were awakened &t that hour to go to the aid of the large automo- bil, which was stalled some dis- tance from the garage. When they arrived on the scene they saw “Babe,” Mrs. Ruth, Mrs. Walton of Philadel- phia and the owner of the car, wait- ing impatiently for someone to get them out of their difficulty. It was found that three bearings were burned and it was also learned, much to the annoyance of the “Bam- bino”,' who expected that the trouble could be fixed in a short time, that the parts would have to be secured in Hartford. The. party got into the garage car and' 1eft for Hartford, deciding to go by train to Boston. The two men took the 8:25 train to Boston and the women remained in one of the Hart- ford hotels.

This will take place next Wednesday eve- ning. The married men are looking for- ward confidently to severely trounc- ing their young playmates, as the last time they played the young men were walloped. Pinochle seems to be the game for the married men and they are playing it for all they are worth. They would not play hasketball and they would not play football, but they will play baseball and pinochle and are show- ing their skill in each by making the young men wish they had not been so eager to get their older brothers into the fray. Bits About Town. A large attendance was recorded at the chicken supper served by the Woman's Ald soclety of the Berlin Congregational church to the parish last evening.

REGULAR WEEKLY DANCE At The Community Theater Plainville, Conn, TONIGHT Special features offered for entertainment of patrons. Music by the Community Orchestra Andrew Hogan, Mgr. Plainville News ——— . e . e e SGHOOL LAND T0 BE DISCUSSED TONIGHT Special Town Meeting Called to Kot on Petition of 28 Voters YOTE MAY BE RESCINDED Woman's Club Recital a Success— Pass Examinations in Banking—R. B, Codling Dies in Ansonia—Odd Fellows Confer Degree—Briefs, A special town meeting will be held this evening at 8 o'ciock in the town hall to act on a petition signed by about 28 voters asking for the rescinding of a vote taken at a spe- clal town meeting on April 11 at which a measure was passed giving the board of selectmen the power to purchase a tract of land on Linden street to be used for school pur- poses at the cost of $7,500, The last meeting which was attended by a small number of voters decided in favor of the proposition by the small margin of about four votes, and when the news spread that what is con- sidered an exorbitant price was to be pald;, a wave of protest spread about the town. Judging from the talk about town, tonight's arguments promise to be bitter and plenty of fireworks are looked for. Many voters who falled to be present at the last meeting de- clare that they will be present to- night to vote to rescind the former vote. Others state that they are in favor of the movement because a schoolhouse is needed in that section and they claim that the Cooke tract is the only one there suitable for the purposes. This point is conceded by the opposents of the measure but they state that if the town is to be required to pay such a price for the land, temporary quarters should be set up for schools and condemnation proceedings should be taken against Appearances today indicated that the meeting tonight will be one of the best attended scssions held here in a long time. At other special meetings, only a handful of voters were present to voice their opinions on the matters involved, but no ques- tion brought up in Plainville in re- cent months has created so much excitement as the matter of buying land for the schools. Concert a Success. The concert rendered by the Colo- nial Male Quartet of Hartford in the Congregational church last evening under the auspices of the Woman's club, was received by a large and appreciative audience. The program was admirably ren- dered and the quartet was very gen- erous with encores. The large audi- ence applauded every number and those present were ali agreed that the concert was one of the best that has ever been heard here. The church was prettily decorated for the occasion and the ushers were Mrs. F. 1. Burgon, Mrs, E. T. Bras- tow, Mrs. J. K. LaFleld, Mrs, J. N. McKernan, Mrs. Henry Trumbull and Mrs. F. F. Wheeler, The Woman's club wishes to thank the public for its co-operation and when a final report {s prepared, the amount realized for the Library fund will be published in this paper. Fred D. Hastings of Strong Court was very generous in helping the cause along, taking $20 worth of tickets and entertaining the members of the quartet after the concert at his home. Among those present were Mrs. Andzulatis, Miss Andzulatis of New Britain and Mr. and Mrs. J. H. La- Field. Pass Examinations. A A. MclLeod, treasurer and secre- tary of the Plainville Trust Co., T.
