 | National Thrift Week
 National thrift week will be observ- sd in Piainville in conjunction with the other cities and towns of the .tate beginning on January 17. the | anniversary of the birth of Benjamin franklin, Americas greatest disciple If thrift. Attention is called to the | notice published by the local Trust Co. in today's issue of this paper te the motives that prompted the ob servance of this week throughout tho country.
 False Alarm
 The local fire department was call ! ed out at 10 o'clock last night by an alarm from box three, to the local plant fthe PlainvilleE eElectro Plating !! Co. on Forestville avenue. When the ] fremen arrived, it was found that l there was no fire.
 Investigation showed that some of the neighbors mistook the reflection | from furnace as blaze and had l called the department. The fremen l in the factory were stoking up the furnaces and had left the doors open.
 Lost Hydrants
 l The patience of property owners IS | about worn out trying to keep the ire hydrants in front of their property clear of snow, because they no sooner get through with their arduous labors that another storm somes and the state blows throw the snow from the middle ot the road over the top Of them again.
 Many have decided that it is time to have the attention of the town or 1cials called to this condition to see if it cannot be remedied. Splendid CO., operation has been shown by residents of Plainville the past few weeks, but it seems their work goes for naught. The several fires that have broken out recently in the town have given the tiremen added work in clearing away from the hydrants before the hose could be attached, and serious results will come of it, if the hydrants are not kept clear.
 Loses Gun
 Patrolman =, ". Furry, hastoned to the scene Of the fire last night in response to the alarm, and pitching iii with the tire men, seized shovel and began to felp clear away the snow from the hydrants in front of the Plating plant. In the excitn'ent of the wo'k, he dropped his pistol and holster ;l th, SHOW and a thor ough search of tie grounds faile to reveal any trace of the articles. It is thought that someone picked them up and Patrolman Furrey would like them returned.
