the game.
At the Cahill company's place
business on Whiting street several Be
these petty robberieS have taken place
the burglars taking nothing but
canned goods and vegetables. The
outer door Of the safe had been left
open on Thursday night and on Fri
day morning the burglars entered the
storeroom and very thoughtfully
locked the door of the safe and left
the electric lights burning when they
went out. 1t is practically impossible
to find out what WIS taken, as the
rooms are packed with canned goods
Strike Still In Force.
The strike situation at the Rock
well-Drake factory remains the sam e.
the strikers holding out for their de-
mands to be met, but without any re-
suits. The management Of the plant
states that it is impossible for the
strikers to gain anything by staying
out of work. as the strike made things
easier for the officials, relieving them
men. It is reported that some of the
women, although members OF the
= union, have returned to work. An
other rumor, as yet unconfirmed. is
that the officials have threatened to
have the strikers arrested if they
trespass on the property OF the
RoCkWell-Drake company.

amounted to s41,52360 or approxi-
mately s12.58 per capita. While the
town did not reach it's quota or S66,-
900, the local committee feel that in
view of the splendid work made on
all other war drives in PIainville it

with purchase of war savings stamps,
and the committee appreciate the
support they have received from
Plainville people during the past year
