 A large auto from New York run right across the public green Sunday morning. The auto cut into the soft turf and was stuck fast. Myron G.. Sparrow was interviewed and went with his large pair of horses and pulled the auto out. If the public road had been followed there would have been no trouble with the auto, and very unsightly place would have been saved on our fine public green. It seems as though people, especially our own town people, would feel so much pride in our old New England green that they would not be guilty of crossing in the wrong place, as they sometimes do.
