 Judge M D. O'Connell attended a meeting Of the trustees of Bacon academy at Colchester on Saturday: ; On last Friday John Hansen of Rockville was fined $50 and costs, amounting to $63.57, in the borough court by Judge w. H. Heald. On July 2nd., Hansen and John Rogers of Rockville were participants in an auto mobile accident on Chestnut hill. The machine with Hansen at the wheel ran into the ditch and over turned throwing both occupants to the ground and severely bruising both. John Hansen, who has been confined to his home since the accident, an- swered the charge and paid the fine on a charge of reckless driving.
 It seems a queer position to be sit ting beside the wreck of a completely demolished automobile and not know just exactly what happened, but such was the experience of Lawrence B. Pease who resides on Chestnut Hill. While driving from Somers to his home on last Wednesday he held one hand on the wheel of the car and with the other endeavored to secure his hat which had become displaced by the breeze. The next he knew was when he took account of the sit uation from sitting position beside the damaged car. Garage men in the vicinity attribute the accident to a blow out in one of his tires.
 The cool water of Crystal Lake cooled the minds and bodies of a large number of Stafford people as we'll as an exceptionally large crowd from many other places on Sunday. Sandy Beach seemed to be the most popular spot at the lake. Machines from many states were parked along the road ways. On the beach children padded in near the shore. Older men smok- ing cigar with a straw hat covering their heads, but up to their necks in the water, held an informal council and talk fest One lady, apparently in the sixties, attired in a modern bathing suit, but walking by the aid of crutches enjoyed the bathing near shore. Picnic parties were much in evidence and it seems that with each passing weekend the lake becomes Square Pond is fast assuming. the as- pect of a large public waterplace.
 Red Cross Notes
 The following appeared in The News Letter of July which is the official organ of the Atlantic division, A. R. C.
 'The Stafford Springs Red Cross which was organized six months ago as a new chapter, has gone ahead with an enthusiasm that already shows splendid results. Under the craftsmanship of EnOs E. Penny, the chapter has organized to reach every part of the town of Stafford, including about $500 people. The new chapter is particularly interested in the health of the community and is concentrat- ing upon the development of an all- round health program. Thefirst move on the part of the committee on public health, of which Dr. G. P. Bard is chairman, was to secure a public health nurse who would have charge of the health work. Miss Anna Miller, who has wide experience in the field of public health nursing, was engaged An automobile was purchased and day and nights she may be seenmaking her rounds. All the doctors in the town are enthusiastic about the benefits of public health nursing and new cases are referred to Miss Miller every day by each of them. In addition to her regular bedside nursing, she has forty-tWO babies under supervision, has weighed and measured all the kindergarten children and has made home visits to advise mothers about the care of their children Local dentists have also co-operated with Miss Miller in every possible way A dental examination of the younger children was made in the school and an effort is being made by the public health nurse to have preventive work done on the first teeth of these chill dren. An attractive health center in an old store in the heart of the bor- ough is used as general headquarters for the health work"
 The Public Health Center, located next the Savings bank, was formally opened last Friday. The nurses com mittee with Miss Miller acted at host esses and wore the Red Cross uniform, Local visitors were quite numerous and were well pleased with the rooms.
