 Ono Air Recruit Wanted.
 $. $. GWillim, chairman of the Plainville War Bureau, has received a letter from the office of the director of air service of the War department in Washington desiring to enlist a Plainville man in the air service of the United States. The necessary in formation concerning the enlistment r. GWillim will be only too glad to con- fer with any man between IS and 40 years of age who may wish to join this new branch of government serv- ice. Plainville had perhaps half a dozen men in the Aviation Corps dur ing the war and the call for a recruit may prove of interest to some of them.
 The air service promises to be "a great game in the near future. 1 PIainville has a fine aviation field and 1 a Well-selected site for an aerodrome. | With a man from town in the serv- | ice who would boost Plainville. this 1 town may soon be an important spot for aviators. It is not improba ble | that Plainville will he just as import ant an air junction in the not far dis | tant future as it is now a railroad junction.
 Conference Tomorrow. The midsummer outing of the | Home Missionary societies of the l Farm mington Valley Conference will l be held at the Congregational church l tomorrow. The meeting will open at o'clock in the morning and close | at o'clock in the aftern oOn. Two | or three state officers are to be pres l ent to address the members of the l conference. These outings have all 1 ways taken the form of picnic and | the women are asked to bring their 1 lunch with them. In former years ! the outings have been much enjoyed | and a record attendance is expected tomorrow.
 ] Stray Shots Reported. | PlainVille now has another mystery l to solve Last night a stray shot was heard in the center of the town about l 9 o'clock. The night before a shot l was also heard the exact time not be- l ing reported. The shots were fred | evidently with some intent. The shot on Sunday night was fired from d .22 1 calilore rife and came from the direc- tion of the southwest corner of the | Baptist church. The bullet whzzed 1 across the intersection of Whiting l street and Central Square and struck l the ice cream sign in front of Neri | Bros. store on Central Square. The i bullet left a Sizeable dent in the steel | sign and local people attach danger l to such shooting. The shot of last | evening could not be traced although it seemed to come from the same di- rcction. Constable Marine will keep a sharp lookout for the troube-mak- CTS and stop the dangerous habit which might result disastrously for pedestrians in the center of the town. Brief Items.
