Arm “The standard of honesty in the world at the present time {is on a higher basis than it has been in the last 25 years,” said Rev. E. T. Mat- thewson,” pastor of the Episcopal church of Clinton, speaking at the regular monthly meeting of the Ber- lin Men's Bible class at the Worth- ington Community hall last evening. Rev. Mr. Mathewson has been preaching for the last 40 years and has been & member of the ministry for 35 years His services as a speaker are in great demand about the state. The minister told his listeners that honesty was the by-word of the present age and the reports made dally that the world s a place of wickedness and dishonesty were false and misrepresenting. People to- day in the business world have high ideals and deal with each other in a fair and square way, he said. The speaker added that although the papers are filled with stories of dishonesty among trusted workers of well established firms, the Teapot Dome scandal, etc., the real back- ground of the country, the working and business people, are living on a high standard of honesty. People oxpect honmesty in dealing with others and in return they are hon- set in their own transactions. His talk proved intere fnstructive and was well Vollowing the business meeting, re- freshments were served.

His daughter told Constable Brown, that her mother had been nervous and in ill health for more than a year and they feared that she might have committed suicide since they had been unable to find any trace of her since her departure Sunday evening. Inquiry among friends failed to unearth any news of her whereabouts. Constable Brown started a search for Mrs. Baroni and had Mr. Baroni tell his story to the New Britain police. A description of the missing woman was sent about the state. Late last evening the New Britain police were notified that the missing woman had returned to her family.

It was Kensington's first victory of the year. The local five looked impressive in its win although its foul shooting |was a total failure. In 15 foul shots the Kensington team failed to cage single shot. Clark's work was the shining light of Kensington's offensive play. The summary: Kensington Boys’ Club Malone, rf 1.

HOPE WITNESSES CAN IDENTIFY GUNMEN Hope That Money Stolen In Yonkers Holdup Will Be Recovered. Yonkers, N. Y., Dec. 13 (P—The only hope of capturing the six rob- bers who stole $104,500 from a bank car yesterday seemed today to lie in the possibility of witnesses identify- ing the gunmen from pictures in the rogues’ gallery. After holding up the collection car of the First National bank in the heart of the city the robbers started away In one automobile, switched to a second which was later found abandoned, and eluded all pursuers. The name of James Nannery, who escaped from Sing Sing some weeks ago, was considered by police today as a possible member of the band, because a shotgun was used in the bank car holdup and Nannery was known to specialize in holdups with such & weapon. The money stoeln was to have been used by the bank in making up the weekly payroll of the Alexander Smith and Sons Carpet company. The hank was fully protected by holdup insuranc Only nu RENCH Pittsburgh, Dec. 13 (A—The Pittsburgh National League bhasebll club has obtained Lawrence French, left handed pitcher from the Port- land club of the Pacific Coast league according to Sam Dreyfuss, Pirute treasurcr.

READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS 1CHOOL ADDITION |HARDWARE STORE CLOSED Plainville News BONDS AUTHORIZED Linden Street Construction’ Plainville Eugineering & Supply Co. Failed to Pay Taxes—Mrs. Aspin- all Heads Pythian Temple—Stan- ley Smith Sued—Bowling—Briefs. The construction and equipping of a $95,000 12-room addition to the Linden street school and the issuing of bonds to finance it were author- ized with slight opposition at a spe- clal town meeting held in the High achool auditorium last night. There | were only about 60 voters present to | vote for the spending of this sum, | but less than half a dozen were op- posed to the plan which had been put forward by the school depart- ment and authorized by the town board of finance. | First Selectman James Simpson | called the meeting to order promptly | at 8 o'clock and Frank T. Wheeler was chosen chairman, with Town {Clerk William H. Wilson as treasur. er. Joseph T. McCarthy, chairman of !|the school committee, introduced a resolution calling for the erection of the $95,000 addition to the east end school. He explained that at the opening of school mext September | five or six extra school rooms would | be needed. To forestall a question as to why the addition should not contain only those rooms needed, Mr. McCarthy went on to say that the balance would be needel in 1930 and that it would be much more economical to build the whole 12 rooms at once. He read the figures of the growth of Plainville’s schools during the past dozen years, from 776 pupils in 1917 to 1553 in 1928, a 10) per cent increase. John Skinner asked if there were any unoccupied rooms at the Broad street school and Mr. McCarthy re- plied that there was one, a portable building which *“can be used but which should be and sn't fit to be used.” John I. Robbins inquired if an addition to the High school was contemplated in the near future. Superintendent of Schools Leon C. Staples said that the building was meant for 300 but now housed 435 but there would be some is, as it was planned to transfer the seventh grade into the proposed additfon. However, he concluded, continued growth would mean a high school addition within 10 years. Plainville a “Bedroom” Plainville is being used as a bed- room by many families, Mr. Wheeler said, temporarily relinquishing the chair to Mr. Wilson. During the dast summer it was found that 52 chil- dren had moved here from other towns. Many new families are com- ing her to live, he went on, while the husbands work in neighboring cities. 1f Plainville is to continue to seek this type of growth it must pro- vide adequate school accommoda- tions for these children, he claimed. At present Plainville is spending 60 per cent of its total expense for schools. A. A. MacLeod asked how the fig- ure of $95.000 was reached and was told by Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Staples that architects and builders had heen consulted and that the fig- ure was also based on costs of recent sevhool construction in’other Con- necticut towns. Then began a little tilt which renewed all through the evening. L. Rogers inquired as to whether the )00 included equipping the build- ing. Mr. McCarthy said it would cquip only the five or six rooms. Henry §. Washburn and Mr. Wheel- er doubted whether this was cov- ered by the resolution, and Mr. Staples amended it to include “equipping.” This was adopted, but with CONRAD ) MACK SENNETT AM JANITOR” MARY PHILBIN “SURRENDER"” TOM MIX ING COWBOY"” | counted only four “noes.” Messrs. Robbins and Rogers wanted it specified that only the required rooms were included. Mr. Staples, however, said he preferred that it should be left to the department to equip whatever number of rooms would be needed and he had his way. Otto Wunsch, resident of an out- lying district, asked why the town could not spread its schools out into difterent parts of the township rath- er than concentrate in two plants. His own son, he said, had to walk three miles to school every day, and he thought more schools would mean less walking for the pupils. Mr. McCarthy replied that the town had a large investment on its hands in the Linden street property and that it was felt best to make full use of it, while purchase of addi- tional tracts would mean that much added expense. The resolution was finally put to | a vote and was carried. There was | some dissent from the majority opin- ion, but the chairman said he had Bond Issue Voted Mr. McCarthy presented a second resolution authorizing the issue of bonds with a par value of $95,000 to be known as “'school bonds, series of 1928." There will be 95 bonds, each with a face value of $1,000. They will be signed by the board of select- men and the town treasurer and will bear 4% per cent interest, payable seml-annually (February 1 and Aug- ust 1) at the Plainville Trust Co. The first four bonds will be retired one year after their issue and the bal- ance at the rate of four a year until 1953. This method of financing, Mr. McCarthy said, has mét with the unanimous approval of the board of inance, and it also received that of the meeting. Building Committee A building committee composed of Joscph T. McCarthy, Edward T. Brastow, Henry 8. Washburn, Ar- thur 1. Ryder, Frederick Bullen, ¥rank J. O'Brien, and James Simp- son was created by a third resolution presented by the school chairman. This group will be in charge of con- struction and will draw orders from | the town treasury, payable from the | ! proceeds of the sale of the hond is- |sue. Second Selectman William | Downham asked if the members of | the committee would have the time | to oversee the bullding, and Mr. Me- [ Carthy said it was intended to ap- {point Mr. Staples as supervisor. Again it was necessary to add “cquipping,” in two places this time, and then the motion went through unanimou Conunittee to Sell Bonds A sccond committee, composed of Town Treasurer William H. Wilson, | First Selectman James Simpson, and | A. A. MacLeod, treasurer of the Pldinville Trust Co., was then ap- pointed to have charge of the sale of the bonds. Adjournment was made o'clock. Hardware Store Closed Plainville Engineering & Whiting street was y afternoon by Deputy Furrey on a tax llen ssued by Tax Collector Willis J. Hemingway. This concern, which is managed by Louis Fodt, owes the town $256.08 in back taxes on its stock, Mr. Hemingway said, not hav- assessments for 1925, or 1627, The store was recently closed as a result of a civil action and Was shortly afterward reopened. Now Deputy Sheriff Furrey and Robert E. Farr are in charge. Several other tax liens have been tssued by the town because of non- payment of smaller amounts.
