New Britain herald., 1917-10-16

from towns located near Boston and other financial centers will be en- tered through banks and bond houses located elsewhere. A plan has been adopted by this committee whereby if any district knows of subscriptions of it's residents being placed outside the district, and such district will notify the bank in which the subscription is filed to formally advise this commit tee of the date, name, subscriber and amount, said district will be given inn mediate credit on the books. of the Liberty Loan committee, without mak- ing any change whatsoever in the ac- tual filing and handling of such sub- scription.
 "You will appreciate that 1t Is nec- essary that we have formal advice from the bank in order that this committee may be sure the subscrip- tion is actually in the reserve bank before the district is credited and corresponding deduction made, so that our books may be at all times be in accord with the subscription books at the Federal Reserve Bank.
 Yours very truly,
 Liberty Loan Committee of New
 England".
 It is probable that few of the actual residents of the town have subscribed in the neighboring cities or towns By giving the date, name and the amount subscribed for to the chairman of the local committee the subscription can be transferred and Plainville will get the credit which officials think is no more than fair. In the same manner the amount which the employees of the Rockwell Drake division subscribe for, provid- ing they buy through New Haven, may be added to the Plainville sub- scription list thus helping to complete the towns allotment.
 Bravery Shown by Mrs. Burwell.
 Mrs. R. M. Burwell, in an effort to avoid running down four small chill dren who ran in front of her auto mo obiie on Hartford avenue, New Brit ain, yesterday afternoon displayed ex- traordinary bravery and coolness by deliberately driving her machine into a fence. Owing to the fact that the car was being driven at a slow rate of speed Mrs. Burwell sustained no injuries and light damage was done to the car.
 According to her statement to the police she was driving southerly on Hartford avenue when four children started to run across the road in front of the machine As they were ap- parently oblivious of the danger and seemingly not aware of the approach ing auto, Mrs. Burwell was forced to turn quickly onto the sidewalk and into a fence. During the excitement one of the children fell and was taken to a nearby drug store where it was found that she was not injured al- though she was suffering from fright.
