ii' Jo'Silit oVStIoil VI th- Ioll vile Public Library i. considered by the library committee to be made ducted this week-Chldren's Book Wcek-for funds to be used in the purchase of books for the younger patrons of the library. These books are too few in number to satisfy the committee or the children, and many of the volumes are becoming worn from constant use. The com mittee has therefore decided to ask for public contributions, and issued the following appeal today:
 Tn connection with Children's Book Week, the library committee is asking contributions of money from the people of the town for the purchase Of children's books, the shelves of the juvenile section Of the public library being in imperative need Of additions and renewals. It will be interesting to discover how many citizens are moved to the ac- ton of giving without the spurt of personal solicitation. A poster in the store window of S. J. Castle re cords the amounts as they are re corded. Money may be left with Mir. Castle at the store or sent di- rectly to Treasurer II. A. Castle or Chairman R. F.. Morrill, of the li- brary Committee.'
 Fire Police Appointed
 Five fire police have been ap- pointed by Plainville Hose Co. No. and will have charge of handling the crowds at fires here in the fu- ture. The local department has been greatly handicapped by the crowds of people who flock to fires and gather so closely about the ap- paratus and hose lines that the fire men cannot 10 their work properly. The fire police will see 10 it that the flame fighters are not obstructed and that the crowd is kept back at q safe distance from the burning building. The men who will do this duty are Judd Wadsworth, Daniel Emory. William Calmbach, John Skinner and Edward Madeley.
 Dog Found Rabid
 The dog which bit Katherine Ora bCwski Tuesday was rabid. according to report received by Dog Warden Philip Marine from the state labora- tory which examined the animals head. Before it was shot the af- tlictod dog was seen to bite several others. and an epidemic is feared. The owners Of the canines which were bitten by the mad" animal have been instructed to keep them tied up or to turn them over to the dog warden for safe keeping in the pound
 Warden Marine went to Hartford today to confer with the state au- thorities over the placing of another dog quarantine on the town. The previous ono was lifted only last
