Liberty Loan bonds will be formulated and instructions will be given to Scouts for distributing the Liberty Bond lit- erature.
 At a meeting to be held at the home of Mrs. Charles M. Jarvis of Worth ington Ridge at o'clock tomorrow afternoon reports on the sale of the bonds will be made. A thorough can- vass of every residence in Berlin Is being made by the women, and large sale Is reported.
 The Berlin Savings bank this reports that the bond sale is given the local committee in the present campaign by the American Paper Goods company, the amount subscribed to the First Liberty loan drive will be greatly surpassed, it Is thought. In the last campaign the American Paper Goods factory officials subscribed to the loan through their banking house in New Britain. Mrs. Charles M. Jarvis, general chairman of the woman's committee, recently called at the concern and the officials promised to subscribe through the local bank.
 Wednesday, October "A. will be Liberty Day" all over the country and an attempt will be made at this time to sell 8 great number of bonds here. Although nothing official has yet been decided on, it is believed that patriotic meeting will be held in the Town Hall on this day.
 As Sunday has been designated as ''Liberty Sunday" special appeals will be made by all the local pastors.
 School Board in Session.
 Much indignation and displeasure was expressed by the members of the local school board in session at the Town ball last evening over the ac- tion taken at the recent town meeting when the report of the local finance committee which reduced the school budget for the ensuing year more than s1,5O0, was accepted. Although the town will eventually have to pay any bills that the school board con- tracts, according to the state law, the board decided last evening that the slicing of the budget by the finance board was unjustified.
 S. M. Cowles, a member of the board, accompanied by Superintendent of Schools J. w. Dows, were present at the recent town meeting. At this time MT. Cowles, fortified with some convincing arguments, in favor of having the budget as presented by the board accepted, was not given an op- portunity to present the fact to the voters. MT. Dows did not take the floor.
 Upon consulting counsel in New Britain, the board learned that the town will have to pay for any bills contracted for running the school providing they are reasonable and necessary.
 It was also decided by the board last evening through the request of the local committee of the State Council of Defense, to allow the school children to raise money to help defray the expenses of the fare we'll celebrations which are to be given to the drafted soldiers. A can- vass of very house in Berlin is soon to be made and a contribution of 10 cents will be asked from every resi- dent.
 Those present at the meeting were John T. Molumphy, president; Daniel Webster, John A. Moore, Frank N. Bacon, Sidney M. Cowles. Frank P. Day and E. E. Honiss.
