This Eyening-Other Items. | The Woman's club of Plainville
 has completed plans for the enter
 tainment to be given at the Strand
 theater on April 22 and 23 at 7:30
 D m. for the benefit of the library
 building fund. The club has been
 working on this fund for a num- 1 Der of years and has increased 1t considerably by giving yearly enter tainments. Last years affair was at 1 tended by packed houses and it is expected that the people of the town will support the Woman's club again i this year.
 In 1924 the fund was taken out of the hands of the club and placed in those of the Plainville Trust Co. The bank vas appointed trustee of the fund, thereby making it town project and not that of an individual organization. Since that time the 1 fund has grown greatly through ad- ditions made 10 it by the Woman's ! club and other local societies and organizations. At the present time l the total amount of the fund is
 S9.74s.61.
 The George Mastin property on
 East Main street, which was given
 to the town for the purpose of erect
 ing a public library building. will
 come into the possession of the
 town meeting held in 1927. The
 Woman's club is anxious to increase
 the fund 10 the highest amount pos sible this year and next. so that
 work on the proposed building can be started the minute the property
 passes into the possession of the town.
 In order 10 do this, the whole 1 hearted cooperation of the residents
 of the town is needed and with this view in mind the entertainment on
 April o2 and 23 is expected to be attended by local people.
