 "Lst me tell you of this California E-9T<.' He said. This shark is not c7nsht with hook and line, but is laTno0Ded in true whole style He is so powerful and ugly, that just as soon as he is struck the men in the boat pull for the shore and it is a race of life and death. for the shark is in full pursuit and if he catches the boat if is goodbye boat and ~aiI- OTIS too. One day I was out in the boat. and in charge. We spotted Mr. Shark and I drove the haTpOOu ac him and struck him just back of the gtIls hI We started at a 52-clip and pulled for the shore, with the shark not a half oars length astern. There Were -four of us in the boat, and steered di- rect for 9 tree at the waters edge. We you believe it. that shark climbed the tree after us. ] happened to have a gun with me. and shot the shark dead. just ae he was preparing to swallow one of my shipmates."
 That's true story. just as true as almost any shark story. I could D~c-e t # Joe Harris, the poet Of the New London JibbOOm club, was here. because he was the shipmate the shark had selected for his meal Of that day.

While the traffic rules are well en- {. forced In Dixon square and con Iiguous streets, there are numerous complaints of Overspeeding and reCk- less driving of automobiles on the Post, Shore and Watch Hill roads, and the wonder is that there have been no serious miShaps thus far this season, as a result. MT. Stevenson, an old time summer resident of the Weeka- paUg section, told of the conditions that existed on the Post road, and cited instances of reckless driving that men2Ced the lives of those who ride in cars that are carefully operated, at recent meeting Of the Westerly town council. He suggested that a motorcycle cop be appointed as the best way to remedy this growing and dangerous evil. He did not think wholesale arrests would be necessary, as the mere presence of such a mount. ed officer would have Q beneficial ef- feet. He was informed that the ap- DroprlatIOu for the police department would not warrant the appointment of special motorcycle officer but that other steps would be taken to check the Overspeeding and reckless driving.
