The village of Hyde Park is so sit
uated and so constructed that should
a fire break out within it's borders
great damage and loss of property
would be the result. 1t may be econ
Omy, but to our way of thinking, its
pretty risky business, tor a village to
exist without some means of eXtin-
gushing a fire. Must we wait until
we have had a confiagration before
some action is taken on sOimportant
matter?
Officer Hardy arrested Vic Gauthier
last Saturday for the usual INSIDE
meanor of getting drunk and disturb
ing the peace. Vic acknowledged the
charge and asked the officer to let him
go up home and get his brother g to
fix it up" Dan let him 60 and after
waiting awhile went to the house at
/ l. IF nnhn1yv n a6
seen him-the bird had flown. The
officer believes Vic is only absent for
short time and is confident he will
get him in the near future. If the
runaway will only stay away, many
believe his friends as well as the COM
munity would be better off.

a welcome visitor each week. He also
adds that he is enjoying the best of

concluding thus: eff any of your
| friends get their lungs too full of New
England weather have them try Col
orado for remedy; its as near
/ perfect climate the year round as one
| could desire" The doctors numer-
Gus friends here will be pleased to
learn of his good luck with both
| health and practice in his new home.
The G. A. r. boys who attended the
encampment at Boston last week
have returned. They are loud in
their praises of the RoXbury post,
whose guests they were. Nothing
had been spared to make the affair
pleasant one and the royal way in
which the boys of Aaron Keller post
were taken care of will not soon be
forgotten. From the time they land
ed at the Hub until their departure
they were kept in captivity" by the
Roxbury boys. Many pleasant ac-
quaintances were made, and it is safe
to say that the friendship thus Gre
ated between the two posts will long
be cherished.
