 row Night.
 The appointment of Myron Rogers and W. $. Eaton to the Strong fund committee was announced today by
 First Sclectman John J. kimmel. They will serve for one year on this
 welfare body which does much good iE an unostentatious way about the
 town.
 The Strong fund was created by
 the terms of the will of the la,e Theodore r. Strong and is admin
 lstered by a committee of five
 members. On the governing com
 mittee are the pastors of the Con
 gregational, Baptist. and Methodist
 Episcopal churches and two other
 men, one from each of the major
 political parties, appointed by the
 selectmon. These pastors at pres
 ent are Rev. Charles s, Wyckoff, Rev. Alexis D. keudrick. D. D. and { Rev. Arthur A. Ball, respectively,
 and they. with Mr. Rogers from the
 republican party and Mr. Eaton
 from the democratic, constitute the committee in charge of the fund.
 The fund is used to help needy
 families The work is carried on quietly and q large portion of the residents do not even know that
 there is q Strong fund, but those
 who have been aided by it have
 reason 10 be ovcrlastirsly grateful
 for the institution created by Mir
 Strong.
 Ak for Early Returns Early returns from the Christmas seals mailed two weeks ago are
 asked by the Plainville Public
 Health Nursing association. which requests that the money be sent in or the stamps mailed back before
 Christmas if possible. The seals not only lose their seasonal appro- priatencss after December 9 but also are not welcomed by the post i office department except during the i holiday season, while early returns will greatly facilitate the work Of
 the association in handling the money secured through the seal sale.
 Returns thus far have been very
 good but tho amount received has not equalled last years total. IL is expected. however, that that amount will be exceeded if the townspcople ! continue 10 do their part It Is i hoped that this will he the case, 1 for every cent of the money is put
 to good purpose in saving lives. . "N' Has Strong Team | The Plainyile Y. NJ. C. A. team, which will open it's season tomor-
 row night, has a strong personnel,
 being fortunate 10 have practically all of last years men back again and last years men won the county , championship without having a de feat pinned on them. Among the veterans again in the fold will be i Doug Martin. slippery little for ward; Ray schwab, center; Freddie Miller. siese-gun guard; Martin ! Bergen, guard; and Wesley Cookie" Schwab. first-string substitute who will be moved up 10 fill the gap left
 by the loss of Captain Loyal Smith. Smith himself will ho home from college during the holidays and 1t is planned to use him in games dur ing that period. Ray Morrill,. who played two years ago but was forced to remain idle last season on ac- count of illness. will be back in the | lineup. Newcomers are James
 Comerford. Howard Rogers Charles Norton, George Backman. and Carl l Peterson. Wesley Schwab is man. agcr.
 | The boys are being coached by | W. A. Bailey but have heen under i the handicap of not having a floor | 10 use for regular practice. This i will mean playing all early season 1 games away from homo, so that their followers here will not be ] given a chance to see them in ac- tion until the new high school gym- nasium is ready. Their first game will be a league contest against the ! Manchester fIi-I club in that city. No Christmas Rush
 The Christmas rush at the post { office has failed 10 materali2e yet, 1 Postmaster James F. Usher said to- 1 day, the volume of business being only slightly greater than at other times of the year. This can be ac- counted for in only two ways; either
 there is less holiday mailing being done or senders of packages are later than usual. All parcels should | be in the mails by Saturday to en- sure prompt delivery
