If any of the natives of Ellsworth
are DESTROYS of learning new way
to reduce weight, they would do
well to get in touch with Mr.
Boucher of the summer school.
Last Saturday night, Ernest
Boucher and Archie MacIntyre were
the guests of Mr. Higgins and fam
lily at their camp at Beech Hill pond.
They motored to camp in Mr.. Hig-
gins car, and just as the party ar
rived, the car broke down. The
trouble was said to have started
when porcupine greeted them
down the road and attempted to die
tate the traffic rules. On the re-
turn trip, the car was towed by Carl
Johnson in his machine. AS the
brakes were out of commission, it
required the combined efforts of
Boucher and Mac" to push it up
hill and hold it back going down
hill. While going down one big hill
the car gathering momentum. at
tanned such speed that Mac" who
was in therear was unable to hang

When the car was on it's way up the
next hill, Mac" was missed and
Boucher started back on the run

uninjured. The party returned to
Ellsworth without any further mis-
hap. Both boys agreed they had
lost sufficient weight.
