Uncle Sans participation in the
war was the signal for Gloucester's re.

used to seek it's shores, had deserted
the nearby river channel. Two big

like at cost not to exceed ten cents
per package. The reason is plain
under the law providing for the IL
Censing of vendors and users of eX-
plosives only these small articles
may be purchased unless the pur-
cnaser first secures license and II
is doubtful if many American dads
will present themselves at the court
house and pay cut good money for a
license to buy fireworks.
The ruling regarding fireworks was
received Friday morning by Clerk of
Courts o. G. Taylor, who is also gov
ernment explosives licensing agent
for Knox county, in response to his
letter of inquiry to the state eXploS
ives agent regarding their sale this
year.
The law provides that vendors ant
purchasers CT fireworks must secur,
licenses, except that purchasers at
retail need not do so provided these
purchases are confined to fireworks
not over ten cents per package in
