THIS man, IN reality O giant, looked

Half an hour later, with his final

Prize Winners i'm Contest.

Rev. H. r Walsh acting school visi-
tor, today announced two more prize
winners in the letter writing contest
held in the schools in connection with
the towns cleanup campaign next
week. In the sixth grade the award
for the best composition goes to Fred
Callen. with honorable mention to
Mary Z. Beauleau while Salvan Fran
els. Morino gets the prize for the sew
enth grade, second honors to William
Vance.
Master Callen's letter follows:
Dear People of Plainville:-
We. the children of Plainville, have
many interests in this town. We want
it to be heater, nicer, newer and
brighter. And to have it so we must
have our yards clean. our trees
sprayed and trimmed, have the grass
cut, rake up the leaves and dead
sticks, and have our ashes taken out
of the yards. To have our town
nicer we must have new roads and
sidewalks. To make it newer we
should have our houses painted and
barns also. To make it brighter
we should have flowers in our yards
and one our lawns. We should have
put in our yards. Then the people
can look in your yards and viii not
be ashamed of it. People passing
bv in carriages and automobiles see
this. There are other towns and
cities besides Plainville cleaning up
this week, so now l hope all the peo-
pie of Plainyille will clean up and
make Plainville neater, newer, nicer
and brighter.
Yours truy,
FRED CALLEN.
Master Marines contribution to the
contest, which captured the prize in
his grade, is herewith given:
To the People of Plainville:
In order to have a neater, nicer.
newer, brighter, and more attractive
town we must work for it. Many
people in this town think it useless
to clean it thoroughly.
Before I go on there is a question
to be answered. how are we going to
have a neater, nicer. newer, brighter,
and more attractive town? I will tell
you. In order to have a heater town
we must clean it, not only the streets,
but also our own yards. All our rub
Dish ought not TO be thrown in the
ward, as some people do. but put into
barrels or boxes and carted away, for
in one or two weeks 1t will be collect
cd and we shall get rid of many thou
sands of germs. To have an attrac-
tive town we must plant grass and
trees where there are none. We
must not leave tin cans with water in
them, because mosquitoes gather
there. If there is any hollow ground
where water can remain cover it over
with loam, for mosquitoes breed in
these places. Flies breed in garbage
and there will be more germs to do
harmful things.
Another helpful idea for the benefit
of the town is 10 put in a sewer. This

/ Narrow Escape From Drowning.
A party of four, consisting of two
young men and two young ladies from
New Britain whose names could not be
ascertained, had a narrow escape
from losing their lives by drowning in
the Railroad pond on Main street,
kensington, last night.
The two couples came from New
Britain by motorcycles and when they
arrived at the Railroad pond they
entered a canoe which was standing
close by. When they were a few feet
away from the shore the canoe sud-
Genly turned over on it's side, throw
ing them into the icy water. The
young ladies filled the air with their
screams of terror. After consid era BILE
difficulty, however, they all succeeded
in reaching the shore in sarety. They
refused to tell their names and soon
III counted the cycles and were on their
way back to New Britain before the
startled spectators would recover their
wits. There are probably four young
people in New Britain today suffering
from severe colds as the result of their
drenching.

standing. F'rancen when interviewed
said that they will be torn down and
a new lunch cart will be built within
a few weeks.
The provisions stored in the cart
were demolished by smoke, fire and
water. The dishes were blackened with
SCOT and many were broken into
fragments

by the people about this vicinity es-
pecially by the help of the factories
nearby. 1t is said that many will
go without their dinner today who
are usually accustomed to purchase
their meals at the lunch cart.
The cart is owned by David ana
Tony Francen of Beckley and is in
sured.
This is not the first time that fires
have appeared at the cart. There
nave been several minor CONGREGATIONS
