BRIDGE OVER
LAKE SINKS
AT NEWPORT
City Water Truck and
Team Escape Plunge
Into Water

Sixty feet of the long wooden
bridge which joins the lower end
of Main street at Newport with
Glen road and Clyde street at
Newport collapsed at 800 o'clock
this morning and nearly plunged
into the waters of Lake Memphre-
magog tIlc city water truck and a
team which was passing over the
bridge at the time.
The rear wheels of the truck
managed TO reach solid ground as
the end of the bridge near Main
street sank The team went down
with the bridge, but by racing the
horses, the driver managed to
reach solid footing in time to pre-
vent immersion. A pole was broken
in the wild attempt to reach safe
ty.
Collapse of the bridge IS due to
rotting away of the piles which
support it, The high water, which
has obtained during the past few
weeks, concealed the evidences of
deterioration and no one realized
the danger to be incurred in tray-
crsing the bridge. Traffic over the
bridge is stopped pending repairs,

Camp at Lunenburg Is
In Full Swing for
Season

Camp WinneShauka at Lunen-
burg is open for the season of
1922 with seventy-five girls and
councillors from Cuba, Florida,
Texas, Maryland, Pennsylvania
and the New England states. The
girls found the last part of the
trip to camp unusual on account of
the washouts on the railroad, the
Boston and Now York Pullmans
being routed from Woodsville, n.
H., to ST. JohnSbury where the
party wa, carried to the camp in
II automobiles. Later several more

icwclry making, ba>ketry, leather,
and minor handcraft for the small

half miles around Lake Neal have
been taken, also to Lunenburg vii
lage and up the Ills north of the
camp. Boat and swimming tests
have been taken and the daily life
OF the camp is full of pleasure.
A celebration was staged at the
camp on the Fourth and in the
evening the annual event of cele-
brating Father Balch's birthday
was given, his chair at dinner be
ing gay with flags and the camp
colors in buttercupS and daisies. A
cake with candles was presented
and Father Balch given the stunt
of blowing them all out with a
severe penalty attached for fail
ure. Needless to say he rose to the
occasion and putfed the entire
number out.
The nine O'Clock buglc called
the girls to Bungalow Hill all
wishing many happy return, of the
day to Father Balch and the hope
that all might join in the event
