Joseph F. Lamb, vice-president and general superintendent at the Lan- ders, Frary & Clark plant in New Britain, stated this morning that the company's new celluloid factory in Plainville, will probably be completed within two weeks. He also said that the firm expects to begin operations at the new plant at some time within the first two weeks in October.
 The new factory is located on the old Johnson property adjoining the Connecticut companys trestle bridge on the east. The property was pur- chased about three years ago by Lan- ders, Trary & Clark. About a year ago the company's celluloid plant on Center street in New Britain was totally destroyed by fire and soon af- terward the officials of the company announced that the plant would be re- placed with modern brick structure to be erected on the company's prop erty in Plainville. The work has been carried on rapidly and production will begin during the early part of next month. It was deemed advisable to build the new factory i'll an isolated
  danger of explosions and fire which was demonstrated by the destruction brought about by the fire in New Britain.
 Mir. Lamb stated that about 50 op- eratives will be employed at the new factory which is four stories high. It is 200 feet long and 60 feet deep. The production at the plant will consist of celluloid and imitation ivory handles for cutlery.

These birds have been the special ob- jectiVe of hunting expeditions for a number of years and it was forseen that if the sport was allowed to con- tinue the much sought game would
