PLANS DISCUSSED
 FOR RELIEF WORK Chamber Of Commerce to 0rgan-
 iZe Central Bureau Here COOPERATION EXPECTED
Funeral Of Mrs. Henry T. David MAsque and Gown Club to Pre- sent Entertainment Basketball Season Opens Tonight-Items.

| Practically the entire membership of the Plainville Chamber of Con- merce turned out at the December meeting held last evening, indicating the favorable attitude of the repre- sentative citizens of the town in ths plan to devise some means of help ing and handling the needy families. There is no doubt felt but that poor conditions are existing in Plainville and while they may be comparative ly good, they are felt 10 call for careful and tactful handling.
 A detailed discussion was held among the members and numerous plans were suggested Every propo- sition was carefully considered be- fore being thrown aside. It was then moved that W. B. Vincent, president of the chamber, appoint a. main re- lief or welfare committee of five members which will in turn appoint sub- committees. These committees will formulate plans to set in oper- ation a centralized bureau who will prepare data on various appeals, se- cure temporary employment at odd jobs, and act as a clearing house for other parties and organizations con- cerned in welfare work. It is deti- nitely understood that the success of this plan depends greatly on the CO., operation of the bodies interested Tn welfare work.
 The plan will require the procur- ing of some clerical assistance to maintain offices. The Chamber of Commerce rooms will probably be chosen for the bureau. It is also necessary that definite hours be es- tablished. The chamber wishes to make it definitely understood that every cent of money received for re- lief work will be used as it is in tended, to relieve present conditions and the salaries of the clerical help will be provided for in a fund en- tirely aside from the relief proposi- ton.
 The bureau will act as an instru- ment for both those offering assist ance to the plan and those request ing assistance. 'Those who have odd jobs about the house, such as cut ting wood, can secure help by go- ing to the bureau, which will see that a man is detailed to do the work. This will help many unem- ployed men. The bureau, by get ting accurate data about the condi- tions here, will be able to see that all needing assistance are given their share and that one will not receive more than the other.
 At this writing the committee has been tentatively chosen but will not be announced to the public until la ter. It is understood that the relief committee and the subcommittee will be required to take a little time to build and set up definite organ ization for the central bureau and set their plans into operation. This work will be accomplished as quick ly IS possible.
 An unlimited amount of enthusi- asm was shown over the plan of establishing a central bureau, and all members agreed that it was fit ting and necessary that those in need receive all possible benefits. With the entire chamber behind the proposition, there is no doubt that

 BOND GIVEN BACK Miller Found Not Guilty Of Driving While Intoxicated KILLINGS WED 53 YEARS
kensington Couple Quietly Observe Anniversary Teachers Hold Weekly Meeting-FmneraI of Mrs. Graham-"EeStivaI of Months"

The case Of Edwin G. B. Miller. prominent citizen of Nutley. N. J.. who was arrested here on the night of October 30, came to trial last night after many postponements. A cash bond of sl00 which had been forfeited some time ago when Miller failed to appear in court at the time demanded by the summons Con- stable Frank Brown gave him at the time of his arrest was returned to the defendant and Miller was judged not guilty of drunken driving after 6 trial of an hour and half.
 Attorney Albert A. Greenberg of New Britain was counsel for the de tense and based his argument for the plea of not guilty on the ground that the fact that man has taken a few drinks is no absolute proof that he is drunk and unfit to drive an automobile. Miller testified he had taken two drinks previous 10 his arrest. Although Constable Brown had noticed queer zigzags Miller's car was making when he ar rested him he was discharged with out fine.
 When Miller was arrested on the night of October 30 he was on his way to Hartford to visit his mother, he said His wife, who was present st the trial last night. had accom- panied him on the trip in October as far as Walingford.
