 | Considerable damage was done yesterday and last evening by the heavy downpour of rain and the big wind which took on the proportions of gale in all sections of Plainville, there being many wires down, tele- phones out of commission and. trees gprooted before the storm subsided. | Roadways were washed out in many places on the outskirts and the town officials were kept busy throughout the early night in placing warning signals at these spots to warn pedestrians and autoists away.
 A large number of trees were either torn down or their limbs were 
 shorn off blocking the roadways and a great deal of work was necessary to clear away the Instructions, Farmers on the outskirts report that their apple crops were considerably damaged by the wind which tore the apples from the trees and literally covered the fields with the ripening fruit. Flower beds In some places were destroyed and other damage caused which will take some time to repair. Telephone gangs were at work today setting their lines right. Planning Union Service l The Episcopal church of Our Saw four is planning a service of especial interest for thoughtful people. Next Sunday evening, Rev. John H. Rose baugh, director of religious educa- ton for the diocese of Connecticut will speak in the church. Other Protestant churches in the town have been invited to this service to hear Dr. Rosebaugh speak on "The Modern Ideal of Religious Training for Children" The address is par ticuarly timely because of the inter- denominational araining class which begins the following Wedncs- day. Those who wish to know some thing of what the wide-awake ones are thinking and doing should keep Sunday evening clear to hear Dr. Rosebaugh.
