COAL SHORTAGE

The coal shortage caused by the
strike of the coal miners is hitting
HOlyoke as well MS other towns in
the state. The town is threatened
with a shortage in coal for the pow
er plant and it has been found nee
essary to economic in the use of
coal for fear that continued strike
may leave the power plant with n
shortage in the necessary coal. The
town has been furnishing the clec-
tric current day and night but for
the present this has been cut down
to ~ hours and the current is fur
nished from II O'Clock, noon, to
midnight. This works quite an in
convenience and hardship on some
who have been using electric powey
but the action of the town council
in this economy of fuel is the only
safe course and, from present pros
poets, even this action NAV not save
us from even more serious trouble.

Enterprise Still
Peeved

Enterprise editors again draw ON
their imagination and their cheap
vocabulary to make further charges
against the Herald Editor. They
seem sufficiently interested in the
schools to allow the Herald to con
tribute not only the $50 dollars
which we have contributed hut
seventy eight dollars on their ae-
count.
We quote their language;
"This account is for services rem
dered and is now past due"
We deny that any service has
been rendered since the change in
ownership or that we owe the En-
terprise editors anything.
We brand their repeated state
mcnts that any one has financial
interest in the Herald but the un-
dersigned, as absolutely false.
Our check for fifty dollars has
been forwarded to the secretary of
the school board and in rs far as
We are concerned the incident is
closed.
