CaIor Home Today-Bricf Notes. The annual meeting of Plainville branch, American Red Cross, will be held on Monday evening at 730 o'clock in the court room of the town bullding.- Reports of the work of the | past year will be received from the officers and committees The election of officers for the ensuing year will take place.
 Charles H. Newton announced this morning that the Red Cross service badges will be issued at the meeting The badeS arrived some time ago and this will be the first opportunity of fered to the officers to distribute them. The badges are to be given to all mem berS of the local branch who worked a specified number of hours on war work. The minimu is 400 hours and the maximum is l. 500 hours. There are three sorts of badges, according to color; there is a badge for those who worked from 400 to 800 hours; one for those who worked from 800 to 1,600; and one for the few who worked 1,6OO hours
 or more. There are about 30 mem
 bers of the Plainville branch who will
 receive service badges.
 The local Red Cross committee
 wishes to make it clear that the
 meeting will be open to the public and it is hoped that a large number
 of the members of the branch will attend It is expected that the read ing of the reports of the officers and committees will be especially inter-
 esting, as few of the townspeople 1 know just what was accomplished by
 hn nj war.
 It is also probable that the ques- 1 tion of visiting nurse will be one of the important topics which will come up for discussion. The town
 meeting held last Monday evening ap- prOpriated S4O0 to secure the services of a visiting nurse and the work will be carried on under the auspices of the local Red Cross branch. The greater part of the financial burden will also rest on the organization. This furnishes an additional reason for a record attendance of the members at the meeting.
 Plainville will probably follow the example of surrounding cities and towns and have a campaign for Red Cross membership from November tc Il. As far as can be learned no plans have been made for such a 1 campaign as yet and no official an nouncement has been made. Tn other towns of the state the ex- service men are to have an impor-
 tant part in the canvass for the third
 Red Cross roll call. It is very prob
 able that PIainvlle will follow out
 be appointed to several of the teams. The campaign will probably be dis
 cussed at the meeting Monday eVen-
 ing.
 The Trum bull Electric Manufactur-
 ing company has secured permission
 to build another addition to it's plant
 which will enlarge the main offices,
 the superintendents office and the
 ma achine room. Ground was broken
 yesterday for the new structure. The building will be four stories
 high, which is one story higher than
 any of the present buildings of the
 company. It will adjoin the west
 building on the south where the en-
 trance to the office is located at present The structure will reach to
 within a few feet of the sidewalk,
 thus bringing it much nearer the
 building line than the other buildings.
 This will be the first time that an addition has been built at the west end of the company's property.
 For the convenience of the en-
 ployes, both in the office and in the factory, the company is also building a garage in which owners of cars may protect their machines from the weather. Heretofore the cars have been left in the open on the COm-
 pany's grounds.
 The building which was started a few months ago will probably be
 completed in about six weeks, accord
 ing to a statement made by $. s. Gwillim a few days ago. Another
 building being erected near the rail-
 road tracks is of cement construction
 and the officials of the company are
 doubtful as to the date of completion, as cold weather presents difficulties
 in this work.
 Calor Expected Home.
 Charles H. CalOr, Of west Main
 street is expected to return home to-
 day from the Hartford hospital,
 where he has been a patient for sev- eral weeks as a result of being struck bv an automobile in W est Main street Grave doubts were eNprcSSed at that time concerning the possibility of Mr. Calors recovery. Ether pncu- monia lessened his chances, but he l recovered and began to gain strength about two weeks ago. He IS now well ! on the road to recovery, although he will be confined to his home for some time
