Evidence that the burglars were leisurely in their movements were found throughout the store. Shoe boxes and shoes were cast about and marks which proved that the burglars hod smoked as they work- ed were evident through several cigarette butts lying on the floor. The store is situated in the cen- ter of Kensington and is included in the zonme of establishments which have been burglarize within the past few months.

Pole Replaced Workmen of the Southern New England Telephone Co. today re- placed the pole at the corner of East Berlin avenue and Worthing- ton ridge which was splintered in a recent automobile accident. The pole was considered a menace as it was cut nearly in half by the impact of a heavy truck which struck it at the base. Cow Injured Lulu, a Jersey cow belonging to J. L. Dutton of East Berlin, took her own means of showing resentment towards the actions of the state board of health which Saturday con- | fiscated a herd of 17 cows belonging to the local resident which were al- leged to have become infected with tuberculosis. As the cows were being trans- jported from the East Berlin farm in a large truck, Lulu decided that abrupt departure from the fields she so loved was a little premature, and hurdling the side of the vehicle, she fell to the roadway. The animal was badly injured in the fall and was loaded on the truck again only after two hours of hard work. She completed the journey firmly haltered to prevent any further breaks for freedom. Birthday Party Harry Gould, Sr., of Hart street, was the guest of honor at a com- bined birthday party and house warming held at his home on Sat- urday evening.

The replies made to the question- naires on the town display sent out by the Chamber of Commerce have been disappointingly few but a large majority of the cards returned project, A. A. McLeod of the com- mittee stated this morning. More than 900 explanatory folders and cards for the expression of the townspeople’s opinions were mailed out by the chamber, but up to this morning only 39 replies had been re- ceived by Mr. McLeod, while L. L. Brastow reported 15 more. Of those sent to Mr. McLeod. 26 signified their senders’ approval of the plan, nine were negative, and four were non-committal. All of those in Mr. Brastow's hands were favorable. Practically all of those who returned the cards expressed themselves as in favor of the largest [ sign, the cost of which has been es- timated at $600. Several suggestions accompanied the cards. One man sent in several good suggestions for the wording of the sign, these having been suggest- ed by similar ones he has seen in touring about the country. They in_ cluded “This is Plainville, the heart of Connecticut's progress” and other descriptions such as “On the best and shortest route between New York and Boston,” “The town where buyers and sellers agree,” “The cen- ter of busy industries” “On famous college highwa and place where you will want to, fold up vour road map and build your- self a home.” The following was suggested by a woman: “Plainville, Conn. Our old home town; where they help every- one his neighbor and everyone says to his brother, ‘Be of good cour- age’.” Numerous suggestions have been made for changing the location of the sign, one suggesting placing across the roadway illuminating it from both sides. Others want signs at the town boundariessr but the committee feels that it should be in the center as a stimulant to the townspeople as well as a welcome to | tourists. The most logical reason advanced against the sign is that, when the original fervor of the project has died down the sign will be neglected. The present committee can be de- pended upon to put the project through and to maintain it for & while, but in time it will be neces- sary for a new committee to take hold, and this may not have the same spirit. Also, it will be neces- sary each year to obtain new pledges for the $200 maintenance cost of the display, entailing considerable work. Some, while favoring the sign, that if it were constructed and then neglected it would be an eyesore and an object of ridicule. It has been suggested that the town might ap- propriate a sufficlent sum each year to maintain the display. The town display commttee meet in the Chamber of Commerce rooms on Pierce street this evening. With a full committee present, Chairman W. B. Wilber hopes to come to a definite decision. Miller Shuts Out Bristol Fine pitching and hitting by |Freddy Miller and excellent all- around work of the entire team en- abled the All-Plainvilles to shut out the All-Bristols by 7-0 at the local high school field vesterday afternoon.

Each member is Bristol Runs Over Sleeping Man. Myroa Y. Rancor of 11 Norton place spent yesterday afternoon and evening at Lake Compounce. As he started to leave about 9 o'clock he backed his car out of its position in the public parking No sooner had the car begun to move | than Rancor's ears were ussailed with screams. He stopped his car and got out, finding Benjamin Bern- stein of Hartford lying underneath the car. Rancor had backed over | him and broken several of his ribs. Apparently Bernstein had gone to sleep in the grass behind Rancor's car, and when the local man looked to see it the path were clear he failed to notice the slumberer. The rear wheel of his car found him, however. Bernstein was taken to the Bristol hospital for first aid but in- | sisted that he be removed to St.| Francis’ hospital, Hartford. Crash at Blossom’'s Corner The automobile of Earl G. Smith was struck and two occupants slightly injured yesterday afternoon when the car was struck at Blos- | som's corner by one operated by W. R.Hockert of Holcomb street, Hartford. Smith gave a signal that he wished to turn left, and Con- stable Ernest Farrar, who was do- ing traffic duty at the corner, mo- tioned him to make it. Because of the volume of traffic Smith was still uncertain and motioned again, re- ceiving the same signal from the officer. He then made his turn, but as he did so his machine was struck by that of the Hartford mian. Mrs. Ernest Barth and Mr, Smith's little boy, who were pas-| sengers, were cut and bruised slightly. The fore parts of both ma- chines were damaged. No arrest was made, and Farrar exonerated Smith. Blues Winners The Plainville Blues went to Forestville yesterday and came home with the town team's scalp, having won by 6-3 in the neighbor- ing village. The game was a good one all the way, with George Cun- ningham pitching a steady game and receiving sensational support. In one inning Forestville filled the | bases with none out, but Sullivan made a great catch of a twisting Texas leaguer and turned it into a | double play. Downham threw the next batter's bunt wildly, but Shee- han nailed it and slid into the bag ahead of the runner. Johhny Sheehan, incidentally, played a remarkable all-around {game in his first appearance with | the Blucs. In addition to fine work {in the fleld he made four singles! fand a two-bagger in five trips to |the plate. Nick Tolli made seven i putouts in left field, one a leaping catelr of a drive bound for extra hases. In the fourth Stanley Smith hit a long smash which looked like | & home run, but the ball struck a rock and bounded back toward the | field, Smith being forced to stop at | second. Kelley was best for Forest- ville, . . The batteries: Plainville, G. Cun- ningham and Downham. Forestville, McCarthy and Crichsley.
