moved to facilitate moving the
building was completed by the
chapel members. A basement for
the furnace was also put in.
Last year an Army barracks
building was purchased and is
used temporarily as Sunday

that the chapel will soon be able
to become an organized church,

WITH THE YOUNGER SET

As I was leisurely strolling down Pierce Street, Plainville, Saturday, March 29, I thought I heard the strains of music. Curiosity made me pay visit to Eye olde dance hall'. To my amazement the Dorie Miller Club of Bristol had at last pur- chased a key to fit Richards door and as l opened it l found that they were giving a sport dance. So after paying the small admission fee 1 entered the hall and began to circulate among the people present. When at last I began to dance, I was surprised to see dancing to the left of me, William liar rison and Clifford Douglas, both from Hartford. To my amazement, I noticed Leonard Nelson and Eddie Strong con- versing. Say where am 1 any how-in Plainville or Hartford for here comes some more of the Hartford crowd. Say Moe Campbell what are you doing here? And Allen Martin and Ernest Wilson don't you ever stay in Hartfordg Hi, there Larry Duhart don't you and your boys have your nights mixed; Clyde is playing to- night, remember. Oh well, here it is closing time and after spending an enjoyable evening dancing to the marvellous mu- sic of Clyde Board and his boys I am now ready to depart for home. AS I was leaving the Grange Hall, saying good night to one and all, bumped into Muriel VanAllen, Eleanor Bailey, Alvah Johnson and John Stewart and quite a few unfamiliar faces from Hart ford. We'll so long. I had a swell time. See you all next week.
