HUDSON TO SPEAK
 AT ADVENT CHURCH Will Appear in PlainVille Next Sunday Evening IS @ Y. N. C. A. WORKER

Chorus will Be Formed Tonight
 May Call selectives Soon.
 Services at the Advent Christian church Tn Plainville next Sunday night should be largely attended as c. H. Hudson, who recently returned from Mesopotania will be the speaker. He will address the congregation at the evening service which starts at o'clock.
 Mr. Hudson has had five years ex- perience as a missionary in India and eight months experience in the Eng fish army as Y. M. c. A. worker. He was with the British forces on their famous drive to Bagdad.
 This will be a fitting introduction to Plainville's drive for the towns share of the $35, 100000 which Is to be raised for the Y. M. c. A. war fund Plainville's allotment has not yet been made known. The campaign will be carried on between November II and November 20.
 MT. Hudson is now attending the Hartford School of Missions and has been engaged to speak in other towns and cities in this locality. As he is considered one of the best Y. M. c. A. workers on the field he will un- doubtedly prove interesting and his talk should be highly instructive.
 Highway Opens. The PlainviNe Bristol highway, which has b0en under construction since last April. opened for traffic yesterday afternoon. As soon as the last stretch of amiesite had been laid, rolled and the top dressing of sand @%akv $a@ road, automobiles, wagons and other vehicles took advantage of the new pavement and it's inviting possibilities. The road is undoubtedly one of the best in the state and few highways can be- found that were constructed along lines similar to those which the Con- necticut and Rhode Island company followed out in the course of build ing. Instead of leveling off the road bed and laying the amiesita top. a six inch cement foundation was laid which was allowed to stand a number of days in order that it might harden. Two grades of amiesite were used to cover the cement foundation. The coarse grade was placed next to the rough foundation and was in turn covered by a fine grade of amiesite. After being rolled the top dressing of amiesite was sprinkled with fine sand.
 If the road had been completed during the warmer months 1t would have had to be kept closed to the public for several days in order to give the amiesite 8 chance to harden. However, owing to the severe cold ness yesterday the last stretch If amiesite was hard enough to permit public use as soon as it had been rolled.
 West Main street now looks like a real thoroughfare with the new high way and the cement walk laid only recently in front of the Bristol Man ufacturing company. It compares fa- vorably with main streets in larger towns and cities. Few places can boast of better roads and streets than the town of Plainville.
 Liberty Chorus.
 Due to a misunderstanding in dates 1t was announced in last evenings Herald that there would be a meet ing in the Town hall last night for the purpose of forming a Liberty Chorus in Plainville. As a result 9 number of the townspeople turned out and went to the Town hall with the in- tention ot offering their services as mem bers of the chorus They were told that although the Herald stated that the meeting was to be held Tuesday night it was in reality to take place Wednesday night
 The meeting will be held tonight and as everyone seems enthusiastic over the prospects of having a local chorus it is expected that 1t will be largely attended. State Director Stew ems who has charge of the N Liberty Chorus work in the state will be pres ent to address the meeting and will also help in the organization of a To- cal Chorus. A committee will prob ably be appointed to select a capable leader to have charge of the work done in this town.
 Everyone who likes to sing is in- vited to be present. There will be no voice trials and no dues attached to To Be Called Soon. It is expected that the last fifteen per cent of men included in the first draft will receive their notifications 1 in the near future summoning them ! to report at the cantonment at Aver at a certain date. It is said that the local exemption board is expecting | hourly orders from Washington to notify enough men in this district to | fill the quota.
 The quota for the district is 400 and at present in the neighborhood of $50 men have been sent to Aver from the l various towns included in the district. ! Although Clerk Benjamin I. Miller l stated that he could not tell def1n- | itely just how many men would be l needed to fill the ranks he was of the 1 opinion that SO men would be chosen 1 from the various towns on the next | call.
 Judging from MT. Miller's state
 ment 1t seems as though less than five
