Then snow! and thaw and slush! and

Some more rain and snow!

To wake up-when, l jung!

The first bluebird of spring!-
Mother she'd raised the winder some
And in acrost the orchard come,
Soft as an angels wing,
A breezy, treesy, beesy hum,
Too sweet for anything!

The sun burst forth in glee,
And when that bluebird sung, my

Hoped out o'bed with me!

gan and Attorney David l.. Nair were
named as the committee.
The meeting was held prior to the

their stand for n raise 1t was pointed
out that there has been big increase
in the amount of business handled by

judges room adjoining the courtroom
at police headquarters. His time is
devoted almost entirely to the duties

mornings discussion.

mon council recommended to the
council at the February meeting that
the salary be increased from s1.500 to
$4,000 and the recommendation was
adopted. Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa has
vetoed the resolution. however, and it
