Employees of The Connecticut Co. have been busy for the past week, making preparations to install the turn out at Hanson's crossing which was discussed at town meeting early in the year. The turnout will be situated almost directly opposite Han sons shop and within a short dis tance of the town Inc. This is the first move. in the plans of the Con- necticut Co. to shorten the running time for through cars from New Britain to Meriden. The siding has been leveled off and all equipment has been brought to the scene an it is expected that the work will be finished in a short time. The next move will then be to installa the cross over close to the center of | Plainville on which the short line cars, or those which ply between New | Britain and Palinville only. will be enabled to cross without following the present procedure of switching in front of the post office. This will be started, 1t is said, immediately after the turnout at Hansons is finished. IdStOF OH NdCdtIOu.

 15,0OO Members Wanted.
 The most unique appeal in the his- tory of Plainville will be made start ing July 19. The people of Plainville from time to time have been asked to make contributions to various charitable and semi charitable objects which form no direct bearing on the life of Plainvile, and from which Plainville received no direct benefit.
 Commencing July 19, the people of the town are to be asked to contribute money for an object which forms a very vital part of the life of Plain- vile. Every dollar will benefit some resident of Plainville.
 Object of Appeal.
 The object for which this appeal is to be made is the continuation of the work of the visiting nurse. This work has been carried on for the past i tbree years under the direction of the Plainville Red Cross. Only DOT tion of the money contributed by the townspeople to the Red Cross has been used for the towns benefit.
 Because of this and because of the 1 fact that the funds with which the visiting nurses work could be car ried on. were not sufficient to sup port the work here, a special town meeting was called by the board of selectmen and was held in the town hall on June IS, at which the Plan- vile Public Health Nursing Associa- tion was organized to take over the work of the visiting nurse.
