.1sat the present time and it is thought lthey arc seeking inland locations be- fsause of what might happen in the &Ayent of war.
 More developments in the plans are
 xpected within few days and these ESNill be awaited for with great inter- Fest by the entire population of the ltown.
 \ Recruiting Onlcc tO Open. H Efforts to strengthen the local unit fI0k the Home Guard will be continued EShis evening when g recruiting office |Ew5ll be opened In the Town hall at [. !so'cloe1s. With. eighteen men already Eenlisted the leaders are confident that z ssa8many more will be added at to- gts meeting, and before the week A39E the ranks of the volunteers l bA increased to over 8 hundred ! mons Different recruiting officers will nave charge of the office on different nights and # Is the intention of these men to keep the office open every night in the week. After the Berlin ofstce has been organized some of the 1 oficers will be appointed to open offi- ces in the other two sections of the town.
 In regard to the proposed company i in Kensington there was some little 1 comment about the town last. night !, but for the most part the scheme was | received with favor. There is a feel ing that if a company of infantry l were formed in the Kensington dis l trict the machine gun company should l be formed on Worthington Ridge as a resident of that section presented
 the weapon to the guard. Colonel ,, Jarvis wishes it understood that he l would prefer to serve in the ranks as l a private and not as an officer. There l have been a number who seemed to think that he was looking forward to becoming one of the heads of the or ] ganization but this is not so and while
 he is willing to devote his time to the interest of the guard he considers that some of the younger men should hold 1 the positions as officers. All citizeXs 1 in both sections of the town should ] work together in the formation of ] the guard so that the town can turn 7, out as good a representative body as l any other place in the state. New in- l structfons have been received from the l Hartford headIua rters and these will ] be explained to those that appear at l the recruiting office tonight. r With the Whist Club.
 1; Members of the Homo Whist club ;, responded to the call of the playing cards last evening when a fine repre- / sentative gathering was held at the
 home of Miss Marjorie Moore. That MT. and Mrs. Milton Emory believe in preparedness was very evident
 when Mrs. Emory captured the first
 prize for the ladies while Mr. Emory :, was leading the ranks of the men.
 Miss Mary Nelson was the runner up among the female members and took
 second place while George Griffith
 captured like position among the
 gentlemen. After the contest was over
 social hour was held and topics of ]. the day discussed.
 May Have Outdoor Play.
 i Victor Beercroft. member of the ]! Waltor Naylor players of the Lyceum theater, New Britain, has taken under t consideration the formation of a | company of New Britain talent to pro- duce an out-of-doors play. Some one I of the Shakespearean productions l probably ''As You Like It. will be played if such a company is organ ized. Present plans call for present. ! ing the play at the Atwater farm oIl wortliington Ridge and this seems td !: be an ideal location fo such play. I Mr.. yBeercroft is an Englishman and I has had much experieHce with Shakes I pearean productions and therefor is < dswell qualified to handle such a com 4Neny. He has had much experience
 g4th out-of-doOrs plays as he has
