We had expected to see some OF
"Hightown's" questions on this
s beet, answered in this issue, but
it's really not disappointing that
they have not been at this early
date. Oar people moye cautiously
and make sure of their footing be-
fore another step is taken This
we think is proven by the steady
advancement made by the town IN
all lines Of business and in improve
nents within the last ten years
That there is yet room for improve
ment, and that a high school is a
sure step IN that direction, will be
realized, we believe, in time 10y our
