Mr. Wheeler urged that the Chamber of Commerce committee get in touch with the committees from other organizations which are working on the same project. Sev- cral socletles are interested in the civic and memorial panellings, and it is believed that a joint meeting would faclliate agreement cn a gen- eral design and scheme which would be more harmontous than it each body went ahead itself. The Cham- her committee, consisting of Mr. Wheeler, Robert J. Coe, and Burton? H. Phelps, was authorized to put in a window without consulting the chamber further. As chairman of the high school building committee, Mr. Wheeler re- ported on the same subject at the school committee meeting Wednes- day night. The Chamber of Com- merce is the second organization to vote definitely for a panel, the fire departmeint having been the first. The Americah Legion has the mat- ter under advisement, and plans are being made for two windows to memorialize the Plainville World War dead. The school commitiee hopes that the G. A.

The con- struction of such a structure would be brought about either by personal subscription or through fairs and bazaars. With Berlin’s youth required to travel to New Britain or surround- | ing towns to practice and compcte in sports with otler towns of the same or even less population as this pluce, it is thought that Berlin would support a drgve for the funds n ary to the ercction of a rec- reation building. A recent drive by the club for funds to meet the budget of the coming year was received by the town and the s tors had little trouble in raising the required amount. Local business men and home owners realize the penefits of athletics to the younger generation and would no doubt, cb- operate with champions of the drive ch a campaign was begun by Jlie epirited persons. At present the Boys' club team is practicing every Wednesday evening in the gymnasium of a New Britain cehool which has kindly accommo- dated the local club with the use of the hall.
