 Plans Made to Raise $24O.
 The committee appointed by the local chairman for the purpose of raising $240 to provide recreational facilities for soldiers in the war camp cities, held an Enthusiastic meeting last evening at the home of Stanley s. Gwillim on Hough street. In ac- cordance with plans formulated, each member of the committee will have a list of names of men and women from whom donations for Plainville's allot- ent will be solicited.
 The project is one which should ap- peal to citizens of the town, is the opinion of Chairman Gwillin, as ha states that the money will be expend- ed only at war camp cities for the purpose of making life less monoto- nous for the soldier boys. share of the subscriptions raised in the vari- ous cities and towns will be expended at the cantonment at Aver. As there are in the neighborhood of twenty five Plainville men at that camp, the citizens in subscribing to the fund will aid in providing comfort for the local boys now wearing khaki.
 Liberty Loan Subscriptions $27, 7,OOO.
