 The first hockey game of the winter season was held in Stafford Hollow on Sunday afternoon between 8 team from the Springs and Hollow aggre- gation. The game was good one, fast and exciting After the fray, amid queries as to the condition of shins and other sore bones, the score was found to be six points on the Springs side to three on that of the Hollow seven.
 The Rockville Journal has endorsed it's approval of the essay recently de- clared the winner in the local Ameri- can Legion contest by printing the ! article in it's latest issue. However no mention was made of the school where l the writer Harold Neff attended. Lest ! there be a misunderstanding and not
 wishing to have it appear that he is a I member of the Rockville high school ! it may be stated that he is a freshman
 in the Stafford high school.
 The Concert company that is coming with good recommendations to Staff ford Springs on Tuesday evening Jan-
 uary IT, will offer a varied program This is apparent from the list of ar iCtc soprano, late of the Chicago Grand Opera, Annabelle Barrett, pleasing young viOlinist, Glyndior Jones, bari tone, LleWelyn Edwards, solo pianist ! and accOmpanist and David Owen Jones, tenor. These artists are young people of thorough musical training, who put lots of life into their work The program is all good music but is | not heavy one. Solos and group numbers will be given so that full evenings entertainment is assured. Chestnut Hill is fast becoming mo- torious for the scene of automobile ! accidents The ice has not yet thawed
 on the sides of the slopes while roads
 to both sides are in perfect condition,
 making driving treacherous. A large
 Packard automobile is on the Somers slope completely demolished by fire
 There was a rumor that the machine
 was stolen and that it has been iden- \ tified by state police. Nothing has
 come from police headquarters to warrant the rumor A. J. Needham's s
 machine was badly damaged in skid
 ding accident on the Somers slope on
 Monday morning. All along the road
 way broken fences and lacerated trees | testify to the wreck of other machines, ! Friends of the Boys Club will be
 glad to learn that the New Years Eve
 benefit netted over $20O toward the
 fund to provide a heating and shower
 bath plant for the club Patrons of
 the entertainment enjoyed somewhat
 unusual program in the presentation
 of Oscar Wilde's clever comedy by a
 select company of old and new local
 stage fayorites. The play, excellently
 cast, was received with hearty ap-
 preciatiOn, evidenced throughout by
 the quick response to it's all-pervad-
 ing humor. During the last two acts
 the stage was ingeniously transformed
 into an old fashioned garden, bloom
 ing in gay pPOfusiOn about trellised
 rose arbor A fine spirit of harmony
 among the players and their assistants
 was no less a factor in the success of the enterprise than the cooperation of
 the community Favorable mention
 should also be made of Kabrich's or EchestFa which furnished the music,
