Retceade, being from out of to ~n and state did not know the game laws which apply to Berlin and evi-t dently did not ask. He was fined for shooting duck out of season. John is staying with his brother-in- law Mir. Louis Bevivio of this town, who has a stretch of woodland in his back yard.
 Retceade was in the yard when the duck made his appearance. He ran to the house for his gun, which he had brought with him and took a shot at the duck. He was a good shot and killed the duck. The game warden was in the near vicinity and arrested him for killing game out of season.
 Evidence was provided showing that he tried to bribe the game war den and other officials so that it would not appear in the newspapers. When leaving the court room he was advised to look up the state laws be- fore he attempted any more hunt ing trips.

STATE DIRECTOR SPEAKS
Sunday School Day at Advent Con- ference-To Examine Qualifications of EIcctors-South Side A. c. Dance Tonight-Town Talk.


 Ralph C. Deming, state director of Americanization, gave talk to the school committed in the school hall last evening. His remarks concerned the possibility of organizing an Americanization class in Plainville where aliens would have an oppor- tunity to learn how to become citi- zens. His propositions were consid- cred sound facts, but the school board failed to take favorable action on the matter as similar classes had been tried previously and met with failure. The attendance fell off at every class meeting. Principal Orrin l.. Judd had charge of the teaching at that time and spent considerable time at the task. There were only four out of six of the school board present. It was decided to have an- other special meeting called or else await tho regular meeting in Novem- ber to take definite action.
 After the remarks by MT. Deming, officers were elected for the ensuing year on the school board. They fol- low: Fred Bullen, chairman; Frank Osborne, secretary and treasurer; L. & Mills. acting school visitor and Rev. Robert H. Burton. assistant school visitor.
