ORDER VILLAGE CLOSED UP
Because It's Houses Are in Range Of
Camp Devens Bullets.

Aver, Mass. Jan. T.--Government off
cials have ordered virtually the entire
community of Woods village, section OF
East Shirley. to yacate their houses by

Announcement was also made by Major
j. NJ Wainwright chief of staff at the
cantonment, that --- state highway com
mission would be asked To close section
of the state road from Boston to Fitch
burg for the same reason
This road is the main automobile thor
oughfare between Boston and Troy, n. Y.
Under the present conditions, it was
stated, three quarters of the targets on
the range cannot be used because of the
wide range of stray bullets. Recently
Miss Dolly Kemp, who lives in Woods
village, was struck in the breast by
bullet which passed through the kitchen
door of her house. Fortunately the bull
let was spent and caused only slight
wound. The bullet was the second that
had passed through the heavy door of
the Kemp house and other houses have
had windows broken by stray shots.
There are a score of houses in the village
which the government will lease at sums
ranging from $l5 to $l25 a month.
After the houses are closed up the
state highway commission will be asked
to close up the state road from noint
near the remount station to Shirley Cen
ter. between the hours of a. m. and
| p. m. Travellers would then be Obliged
