RUNAWAY GIRLS REcAPrURED

BY a daring climb from an upper
story window, using knotted bed blan-
kets for a rope, four girls escaped
from the girls home at Ocala, state
institution. The escape was effected
about midnight and was not discover

of the fugitives had been lost. The
girls are Alene Bars. Helen Apple

AT the time this is written they had
not been found.
About 2 o'clock last Friday morning
DIR. Polk of Fruitland Park was awak-
ened by a knock at his door. He look
ed out and saw three young girls
standing on his porch. He hurriedly
dressed, believing that someone was
ill and had sent for him in haste, but
when he opened the door the girls
started different tale Of woe. One OF
who constituted herself the spokes-
woman for the party explained that
they had escaped from the home at
Ocala, and wanted to remain all night
at the Polk house. AS the doctor was
alone in the house he could not extend
them that courtesy, and suggested
that he would go across the street to
the home of T. B. Stinson and see If
they could be accommodated there un.

it would be better if they give them.

Of capable company even though l the town should go for years without a serious fire.
 For years the chief has been work. ing diligently to bring the depart
 nent to a high state of efficiency. It was through his personal efforts that the town, without any expense to the taxpayers, secured the auto chemical which made such a quick response to New Britain's appeal for aid Wednes- day night and had it not been for his energies, Pleinville might still be plodding along with an old-fashioned hose reel and other anticipated ap- Oaratus.
 Plainville has a good fire depart m ent and a hose company of which the town has every reason to be proud. Credit for it's state of develop ment belongs in a large measure to Chief Norton, who has given a great deal of his time and ability to it.
 Thursday town officials, including tine fire commissioners, realizing the possibilities should a firebug visit Plalnville were anxious to have the department in shape to meet any emergency. The changes they sug- Sested were not more than those which had been advocated for years by the head of the department but which were allowed to pass because of q false economy.
 That no trouble will be exper- fenced in the future because of the lack of uniformity, of hose couplings should Plainville be again called upon to aid New Britain or should a fire of such serious proportions break out here that assistance from other places would be reeded, Chief Norton is having special couplings made for emergencies.

LYCEUM MEETS MONDAY
Grange Dance Successful the Vari- 0us Churches Over Sunday-Paper Goods BOwlers Win Three Games From the Construction Team,

According to the men in charge of the census taking the work should be completed within a very short time as there are only a few odds and ends that remain to be cleaned up by the special squad of nineteen men. Prac- tically all of the factory results are in and with the exception of some of the remote rural districts that section is about completed. Word has been re- ceived from East Berlin that the cen- sus in that section has been completed and most of the names have been sent to Selectman w. I. filling, who has charge of the work. To date 400 or r500 names have been forwarded to the i state enumerators at Hartford and it is expected that the town will total we'll over thousand names altogether
 Every one of the nineteen men ap- pointed to canvass the town have en- tered into the work, with enthusiasm and have covered their territory quick ly and thoroughly as the real work was not started until last Saturday after noon A great deal of the work of the canyassers had to be done at night or on Saturday or Sunday, and this fact delayed matters somewhat. The lists contain the name of every person in the town liable for military duty above sixteen years of age. If they have been skipped during the canvass it would be we'll for them to notify Se- lectman w. l. Al1ing so that the blank can be attended to.
