 to Attend Convention-Items of Inc
 terest to Local People.
 With the enrolment larger than had been anticipated, the Plainville Grammar school opened today for the season of 1920-21.
 The kindergarten enrolment was much larger than that of last year. The stationery stores were kept busy supplying the youngsters with the necessary equipment before the school bell rang.
 The new portable building accom- modated about 80 and assisted great ly in relieving the crowded condi- tions which existed before. It is equipped with new desks and seats, although one of the teachers desks has as yet not arrived. A corridor has been built running between the portable building and the main school so that the two buildings are connect ed with a passage that will protect persons wishing to enter either build ing in stormy weather. The modern heating plant has not arrived but this will not be needed for-some time to come. It will be placed between the two rooms and sufficient heat will be given each room. The electric wiring is practically completed with the ex- ception of the fixtures being in stalled. New desks have been put in the third grade room in the main building.
 All of the teachers were at the school yesterday and the new ohes were shown throughout the building. Practically all of them have secured living quarters for the season and it is not expected that there will be any difficulty in accommodating them.
 Suffering From Shock.
 Mrs. Stanley S. Gwillim, wife of Stanley S. Gwillin of the Trumbull Electric company is suffering from shock which she received Saturday and which has crippled her for the past few days. Her condition is re- garded as critical. This is the second shock of which Mrs Gwillim has been victim. The former one had such effect that it paralyzed her temporari- ly. Her sudden affliction will be re- gretted by her many friends as Mrs. Gwillim was one of the most popu- lar women during the recent war work in Plainville. Her condition this morning was not much improved and still remains serious.
