 As the nominees for tax collector a 1d town treasurer are also RepubIi- can candidates the sclcctmen and assessor are all the important posi- tions left to be fought over and in Cousrque-Co par.- interest in the out como of tho election iE less than it has been in some previous years Those Democrats who voice obteC- lions to the adoption of Republican candidates are told that it was a measure of necessity due to the re- fusal of Democrats Co accept places on .he ticket, Some of the objectors believe, however, that the lack of available material at hand misht have been supplied by preliminary scout ing of the properly energetic sort. II is confidently predicted that the Dem OCrats will again elect two of the three selectmen. as DrisCoN, one of their candidates. has the advantage of the experience gained from two terms of satisfaCt.~y service and Ser geant Sanford, his associate. is also well qualified for the office besides possessing g0ecial popularity on ac- . count of culistinE soon after this country entered the war and show ing on tho battlefield a degree of 1 bravery which won him valor deCora- tiOns from the American and British commands. There were general re- gret and disappointment in the eau GUS at the refusal of w, C. Sanford l 10 again run for first sclectman. his | dcclinatiou being made on the plea of uncertain health, For the same reason he tcndered his resignation as chairman of the town committee, but upon tho unanimous protest and in ststc0ca of the caucus consented to hold tho position for another year on con 'tlou that all present should be como his assistants on the job. Ju- | der the same friendly pressure he 1 consented to go on the ticket as q ! bDeEA or TeAleI CHNu4OALGs
 In answer to a. letter of Inquiry from 1 the selcctmen, Highway Commission CT Bennett writes that he has already | decided that Rcdding's allotment of ! SS,OO0 for additional state and road 1 construction should be applied 10 re- ! constructing tho highway between | Georgetown and Bedding Center. He ! further announced that the job would . not be undertaken until the COmple- | ton of the trunk highway now build . ing This means a delay of more than . a year. About one milo of the pro- 1 7eCted cross country road has already . been built ut the Georgetown end
 Two other locations were in view fOI
 improvement under the present ap- D. proprlation, ono the West Reading
 end of the Little Fork road and thC 1 other the Bethel end of tho George, ! town road. The decision of COmmis- | sioncr Bennett will meet, however
 with general approval. Besides Herv.
 ing the needs of purely local traffic | the improved highway 10 Georgetown ! will prove a convenience tO the eas l sidc by providing a route for auto ] travel considerably shorter than thu
 present available routes 70 New York
 Another proposed improvement fo
 which the coming town meetings wil ! probably be asked to make a specia
 appropriation for is the betterment o
 the crossroads leading from LoRe
 town tu what is now the Park roaC
 which is to become a part of the trunl l highway.
 Why this baCEwardness on the par
 of our musical talent, and the towl
 has plenty of it, in regards to conainl ! forward to help in the prOduCtf T O . Pinaforc? TO the request that all WI l ling to give their aid should so in form the Rev. MT. Cunningham Onl, . about a dozen have responded where . as about four times their number ar
 needed. For the old folks concerts O . three years ago there was no lack O
 volunteers and PinafOre would seen
 to be a much more alluring proposi
 tion, being sprightly, tuneful and fun
 nv all the way through with costume
 and dramatic action to supplemen
 the other attra ctions. It was planne'
 to present the opera towards the lat
 ter part of November for a run o
 about a week in this and neighbor
 ing towns the net proceeds going t
 the town hall building fund, but unIes
 the singers soon show a greater dis
 position to cooperate. the project vii have to be given up. How would
 little awakening propaganda in tn way of verse do? It is desperat remedy. but here goes:
 Come all you merry singing folks, Cast off from the dullard shore, And with joyous shout adventure ou On the good ship PinafOre.
 And while you make melodious voy age,
 Outbound for glorious cause, . The on1c storms your bark shall kno7 Are the storms of glad applause. ] The Bradley house on the Ridge recently purchased as a home for tn Countess TurCzyrowiCz and her fam , ilv. was conveyed on Thursday las bv Mrs. Flora J.
