Bristol Company To
 Loan Equipment For Community Endeavor
Contemplated Movement Will Reduce Insurance Rates; Association Donates New Flag to Lincoln School;
 Club Social Planned This Evening

Organization of a Platts Mills Community Association Volunteer Fire Department is underway, it was revealed at the regular meet ing of the organization last even ing in the Bristol Company studio.
 The members definitely decided to push the plan as an emergency measure believing they will be able to accomplish results at future fires before the, Highland avenue de- pertinent answers an alarm. Or ganization of the volunteer com pany will also cut the insurance rates in Platts Mills.
 Use of Phones Given
 Tine Bristol Company officials have generously consented to CO., operate with the Community As- sociation members and have prom ised to loan the use of their fire hydrants located in their yards, their hose, boots, coats and other firearms which the company's de- 'partment has in it's possession. The phones at this plant will also be at the disposal of the volunteer de- pertinent to use in any emerge ency.
 At the present time there is no fire alarm box in the community and the use of the phones will aid greatly in making connections with the Waterbury firemen. A commit tee has been appointed to complete final arrangements for the organ ization of this unit and will make a report at the next meeting,
 This morning a beautiful new American flag was waving from the pole in the yard of the Lincoln school. This is a gift of the Com- munity Association who believed the other had seen better days. The school department failed to SUD- ply a new one so the association mem bers came to the rescue.
 Entertainment Tonight
 The social activities committee announced that club social would be held in the Bristol Company Studio this evening. A program of entertainment will be offered after which dancing will be enjoyed. Ice cream will be served throughout.
 On May 11th, members of the Naugatuck Y will present part of the great exhibition they offered last Friday and Saturday. Physical Director Fritz Klambt will an- nounce the program for the Platts Mills presentation later.
