The United War Workers cam
paign Is now on in full swing in
Plainville and will continue thus
until November IS. The preparation
for the campaign is all over, The
advertising which the campaign re-
ceived in advance IS also over. The
getting Of the money Is all that Is
left and if the people do their duty
as they should that part of the
campaign will also soon be over. The
general committee headed by Ed
ward BarstoW has worked inCessant-
ly to have the town ready for the
campaign and their efforts will be
rewarded only according to the re-
sponse of the people. From now
until Nov. 10 this campaign in
reality is out Of the hands Of the
committee and is in the hands Of
every person In town to make it a
success or a, failure.
The prospects are decidedly In
favor of the campaign being a suc-
cess. Yesterday the different fac
tories In town held rallies at which
speakers furnished by the State
Council of Defense addressed the
workers. That the purpose and
benefits Of the campaign were deeply
impressed upon the working people
was evidenced this morning by the
results which the canvassers had in
the factories. AT 1890 half the
Rockwell Drake factory had been
canvassed and the results we're
stated as much better than exnected.
Even better results had been OBJ
tanned in the Trumbull factory where
the canvaSsers were still busy getting
subscriptions.
The working people are not the
only ones who are to contribute to
this campaign. Today Is volunteer
day and as volunteers every person
in town is requested to go to the
bank between the hours of a. M.
and p. m. and give as much as
they possibly can afford to give,
Platnville's quota Is $3.50 but the
town does not want to leave the
amount SO small,
Funeral of Frank j. Wische}S.
Ihe funeral of Frank r. Wischek
whose death was reported last night
Will be held tom borrow afternoon In
Fairview cemetery. New Britain, In
the writing of his death one mis-
take was made which is now cor
rected. Wischek lived in the same
house with Mr.. Higgins, but contrary
to last nights statement he was not
employed by Mr.. Higgins. He was
employed as a machinist by the
Landers, Frary & Clark Co. In New
Britain. Thursday afternoon when
the celebration started the factory
closed and Wischek came home
early. AS a friend will help another
friend and as he had done before, he
went to the cider mill with Mr.. Hig-
gins and in some unknown manner
became caught in the ma chine
shafting which caused his death.
Wlschek was a, member of the Odd
Fellows, Lexington lodge and w. T..
Morgan lodge, X. of p.
