 This morning he flew ove plainville towards Hartford. When going over the town he was flying at a low enough altitude that the machine and occupant could be plainly seen.

While in civil life Major Malone was member of the Forestville church which at that time wa, q part of the parish of the Church nf Our Lady of Mercy and. he was frequent cnmmunicant at the local Catholic church.
 Letters From France
 For six weeks past no news has been heard from the 76th division in France. Many Plainville boys are in the division and the 301st Trench Mortar Battery was composed mostly of boys from this and surrounding towns and cities, This morning sev- eral letters arrived and in some of them the boys said that they have been moving about so much and so often that they did not have time to forward mail to the folks at home. The arrival of this mail will greatly relieve the anxiety which has been felt by the fathers and mothers of boys in that unit. Whether the 18th has seen active fighting is not known. At present they are resting.

 On Monday evening at the Congre- gational church all those who are in the Junior Food army will receive their prizes. This will include those who exhibited produce at the Plain Ville fair those also who exhibited their wares at the Berlin fair, those who passed the Home Economies course and those who have canned fruit. The girls of the Home Econo- mics course will receive a governors certificate for the work done. The children in the schools and those also Tn the Junior Food army have been practicing songs for the occasion. At first 1t was planned to have the awarding of the prizes at the school, but it was found that the room would be too small so the church will be used. The public is invited.
