Published on the front page of The
Reformer for Aug. 26 | noticed letter
signed by one William Newton, asking
certain questions regarding an alleged
violation of the bylaws claimed by Mr.
Newton TO have occurred on Aug. Is
Having seen no answer in reply to those
questions, / ask permission to suggest the
answer TO same.
In the first place. Mr.. Newton says the
farmer parked his car for minute" on
the bank corner of Elliot street and ran
10 the news store to get "A paper Now
no farmer or anyone else could or would
run from the corner of Main and Elliot
streets to the news store, purchase
paper and return in one minute.
Secondly, Mr.. Newton says 'the poor
farmer drove away brOken-hearted think
ing of the great crime he had committed" +"
No farmer who can afford to drive a Ford
in these days should be classed as a
poor" farmer. and Mr.. Newton could
not tell what he was thinking about when
he drove away
Thirdly. the 18th of August, to which
date Mr.. Newton so facetiousIy referred.

only day police officer was assigned a
duty at the aviation field by the commits
Sioners and the chiefaof-police and was

The answer is, it never happened and
MI Newton is apparently trying to add
to his other accomplishments a reputa-
tlon as a writer of fiction
Having answered the above, / desire

ion, Denny Brogan" of Montreal? Is
this the man who then claimed his adj
dress was "Brattleboro and New York"
and who cannot now legally drive even a
Ford?
Our police officers have been much
raligned by persons who are persistent
violators of the law. No man who has
been sent to Jail likes policeman. I
certainly resent it as an insult. not only
to the people of Brattleboro but to the
people of Vermont, when a man who

SWITCHER CRUSHES
FORD AUTO TRUCK
Walter l.. Newcomb and Harold Putnam
Miraculously Escape Serious In
jury in Railroad Yard.

Walter L. Newcomb employed by e.
l.. Hldreth & Co., and Harold Putnam.
clerk for Barrows K Co., miraculouslY
escaped serious injury Tuesday morning
when the Ford tFuck in which they
were riding. owned by Mr.. Hildreth.
was practically crushed to pieces when
it was struck by a Central Vermont
switch engine and pushed against a
coal pocket situated on the west bank
of the river below the freight station.
Mr.. Newcomb, who was driving the
truck, had been down to one of the coal
pockets to secure two bags of coal and
was coming up short but steep grade
over the railroad track and between the
coal pockets. A team which preceded
the truck got over the crossing safely,
but Just as Mr.. Newcombs truck was
crossing the rails. the switcher. which
was backing out of the siding along the
west side of the coal sheds, struck the
Ford amidships, pushed it along a few
feet and then crushed it between tho
tender and the wooden front of the coGl
pocket.
The truck collapsed like an eggshell
and was reduced to mass of wreck
age. How Mr.. Newcomb and Mr.. Put
nam managed to escape with their lives
is miraculous. The only injury re-
ceiyed, was on the part of Mr.. Putnam,
whose left foot was slightly sprained.
The switeher was stopped quickly and
reversed pulling out of the wrpckagP. The
force of the blow crushed the wooden
front of the coal pocket, the two occu-
pants of the car being caught between
the engine and the wooden front Of the
shed
There is hardly ANYTHING belonging
to the Ford which can be salvaged un-
less it is the engine All four wheels
were broken and even the spolles were
thrown about.

NEWSPAPER PRESERVATION.
Newspaper Files Long Serious Pro-
bIen and Concern.

The New York public library reports
having found a method for preserving
newspapers for very much longer time
than has ever before been possible. 1t
has been experimenting since 1916 with
its file of the New York World, and
is now extending the work to other
important dailies.
The method is simple. A sheet Of
japanese paper is pasted on every page
of the newspaper to be protected. The
japanese paper is transparent, permit
ting comfortable reading of the print
beneath. In addition it is impervious
to the agencies which destroy newsprint.
The Importance of this discovery can
scarcely be overemphasized Newspaper
files are now recognized as among the
most important sources for historical
research and writing. Yet modern
newsprint disintegrates very rapidly.
The newspaper files of public libraries
have long been a serious problem and
concern. If now they can be protected
and along with them other printed
matter, such as magazines, etc.-and
made to last an indefinite time, wealth
of valuable material is preserved for
prosterity and for future historians.
