 Rev. Robert H. Burton, pastor of the Church of Our Savior, was called l upon yesterday to off1ciate at the we'd l dlngs Of two of his parishioners, the l contracting couples having been Miss 1 Mary Ella Chuba of Maple street and Arthur Frank Groth of New Britain and Miss Ora Judd Granger of Bristol | ana James B. Warfield of this place. In each instance the wedding was a quiet one and took place at the church rectory.
 It is quite possible that the mar riage of MT. Groth and Miss Chuba. may yet develop into one of the nu- merous cases in which the happiness or the honeymoon is suddenly plunged into the sorrows of war, as the youth ful bridegroom is one of the men called in the first draft in New Brit am. MT. Groth, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Groth of 93 Rockwell ave- nue, New Brftain is employed in that city as a draughtsman. When the first exemption district sent out it's first call for 800 registrants to f1ll\the districts quota of 294 men, MT. Groth's name was among the others. He appeared for examination on August and af- ter being examined by the several sur geons was given a certificate of tem- porary physical rejection, but was or dered to return for a re- examination in six weeks. Thus, should the young bridegroom pass on his second exam ination it is quite probable that he will be compelled to leave his young bride and march away to defend the Stars and Stripes. The wedding oc- cured at o'clock yesterday after noon and the couple were attended by Mr. and Mrs. William G. Grcth, broth CT and sister in-law of the groom re- spectively. The bride, who is the daughter of MT. and Mrs. J. c. Shuba of Maple street. was given away in marriage by her father. For the pres ent the young couple will make their home in Plainville.
 The wedding of MT. warfeld and Miss Granger took place at the Epis- copaI rectory an hour earlier. MT. Warfield is the son of MT. and Mrs. E. D. Warfeld of Park street and his bride is the daughter of MT. and Mrs. w. G. Granger of Forestville. They were unattended and the marriage ceremony was witnessed only by the parents of both parties. The bride was given away by her father. Fol lowing a wedding trip MT. and Mrs. Warfeld will make their home in Plainville.

Plainville, tomorrow af- ternoon at 2:30 o'clock. MT. Newell was member of the Frederick lodge of Masons, and that organization will have charge of the funeral services, all rites of the Masonic order to be ob- served.

 To Rush Paving Work.
 John Fitzgerald of this place, act ing as inspector for the state highway departm ent on the concrete road con- struction job between this place and Forestville stated this morning that the Connecticut and Rhode Island company, which has the contract for doing this stretch of paving, con- templates speeding up the work ma terially so that within a few weeks the entire job will be completed. The arrival of new machinery, together with assurances of no further hold up on the supply of crushed stone, as we'll as an ample supply of labor, will, MT. Fitzgerald predicts, enable the company to go ahead much fas- ter than in the past and he ventured the opinion that the entire job will be completed by the first of October provided no unforeseen delays occur. 1 This morning the worknen began lay | ing the concrete foundation of the | roadbed near the bank building and, i it was stated, it is expected that the | heavy foundation will be completely | installed as far as the railroad tracks by Saturday night. Beginning Mon day the company plans to start lay | ing the concrete top dressing from l Washington street down and will pro- | ceed as rapidly as the drying cement | base will permit.
 Next week the construction gang will return to the Forestville end of | the road and, assisted by a steam shovel, begin to rip up the north side of the highway preparatory to install ing the new pavement. A new con- crete mixer which is scheduled to ar rive on Friday of this week is also expected to greatly facilitate the work inasmuch as the old mixer be- 1 foy hos 1>xy;% ;%e oy,t
