 An unusually large crowd gathered at Crystal Lake Sunday afternoon. The Italian band gave a two-hour concert. The music was good and many campers from the cottages on the lake went across to hear the concert.
 Anthony Lazzerin, who declared when he was before the exemption board that he was going to take out first papers and be in the draft army, evidently changed his mind. After he had passed his examinations he let the matter drop, and it is stated neglected to take out his papers.
 The railroad company is planning to build 8 room on the west end of the passenger station to make larger accommodations for the express office. It is stated that the plan includes an addition twenty feet wide which would occupy the space to the present curb line. Although the company owns this land, if there is any legal way of preventing it, they should not be allowed to block the sidewalk at that point. The matter has not yet come before the court of burgesses. When the cnrbing was put in a num- Der of years ago the company allowed the street to be widened from the station to Spring street, using land claimed to be owned by the company, providing that the railroad company should not be subject to any expense for curbing or sidewalk.
 The following is list of the men who were examined and passed last Thursday and Friday in Rockville by the exemption board and also a list of their exemptions if they filed any claims: John Szymanski; Willis John Linn; William Dennis Murray :; George B. Davis; Alexander Papp, infirm parent; Walter J. Bousquet; Charles Leon Roberts; Raymond O.

Neri, wife, son of aged parents; Arthur Forgette, wife; Thomas Edward Young, wife Chester Fred Wright, son of aged parents; Daniel E. Greene; Wilfre,l Agard Eaton; Balthazar Quay; Rena Edgar St. Marie. Out of 26, who passed the physical examination on these two days, 10 of them claimed exemption. Whether all of these men will have to go or not will be deter mined by the number of exemption claims granted by the board. The she last to be examined will not be called for military service until the second army is called out. ..".
