The advantage of getting into any enterprise at the start is worth many dollars as well as experience gained which can never be obtained by enter ing at d later stage of development. This might be well and rightfully ap- piled to PlainVille
 There is d question of much inn pOrtance for the town at the present time. Will PlainVille become an i'm pOrtant aviation center? The future alone will decide, but action taken at the present time to boost the town and it's advantages for aviation would but serve to assure the town of such prominence in the future.
 P1ainville has had two airplanes land on a field in the limits of the town. Both met with mishaps, the first in landing and the second after a most satisfactory exhibition of fly ing when the plane crashed to earth when starting for home.
 Some of the leading men of the town are interested in the game. J. H. Trumbull president of the Trumbull Electric company, is an ardent enthus- fast as is C. T. Newton, head of the Osborne Stephenson Manufacturing company. Hugh Rockwell, an aviator of some note, is one of those at the head of the Rockwell, Drake factory in this tOWn The town has several men who served Uncle Sam in the aviation service. Some were mechan- ics while others have flown ships while accompanied by experienced army mon. They would be attracted by local field and would help in making the town an aviation center.
 Liberty field in New Haven was used as an aviation field during the war. MT. Rockwell was there and flew rne ships on the field. Much experiment tai work was done there and among the men working as mechanics were several PlainVlle men in the employ of the Marlin Rockwell corporation. The lease on the field is reported 10 have expired. Last week a five ton truck loaded with flying equipment and aviation material from Liberty field came to this town and the ma terial was deposited in the Rockwell Drake factory.
 An official of the Rockwell, Drake company when asked this morning whether it was the intention of the company to start an aviation factory, replied that nothing definite had been decided upon and that no plans are ready for future work. The fact re- mains that the material is in the town and what disposition will be made of it will be watched with interest by To- cal people.
 Should the town become an. aviation center the quality of gasoline used would have to be above that sold com mercially at the present time. Poor gasoline was blamed for Lieut. Kirbys smash as the engine failed to function properly with the poor grade of gaso- line used.

Bull inspected the entire central part of the town yesterday and paid personal calls to the owners of stores where conditions were unsanitary. Many complaints has been received by the health officer against the unsanitary conditions and their possible results in the way of illness.
