Milford chronicle., 1925-09-04

to Athol, Mass, and on our way to-
ward the halfway mark.
This is some busy town with TO-
900 population. 1t is the home OF
the Starratt Tool Company, which
makes over 1000 different kinds of
fine tools. There are manufactures
of wooden toys, matches, milling,
cutters and leather cloth, and it is
also the home of two of Milfords
boys and girls, Mr.. James and Mrs.
Ruth SaleVan, on whom we called
but found them away from home at
that time for the weekend.
We stopped at AthOl over night in
another nice private home, which
accommodates tourists, and got an
early start on Saturday morning
and reached Boston after passing
through Concord, Lexington and
Cambridge, the latter being the site
of Harvard College. Around the two
first named cities, lies the famous
battle fields Of the Revolutionary
struggles and victories.
Every place one goes through
there is some tablet, or monument
marking some historical spot. Col
onel, can't we rake up some around
our town? I'll take this up when I
get back home.
Boston at last. Yes, and you
should hear these BOstOnians repeat
words after we have spoken them. 1
gasped when 1 heard Emma Taylor,
one of our party, say Boston" like
a native. Now you know that just
make a mess of things, when 1 try
anything other than the broad, fiat
Sussex County dialect-even if I am
accused of dropping an CT" or two.
Let me tell you, we struck some
traffic in this town of Boston. Yes,
Sir, and it is just complicated get
ting about; but hats off to our
Chauferess; she is a driver to be
loved. I just dare anybody to swear
at lady drivers "agin' -, ever. have
been on my second trip with lady
driver at the wheel, and know, that
no man could handle situations bet
ter.
But I was talking of BostOn-the
Hub of the Universe. Well, Boston
to me has several hubs, and if one
fails to watch, they will roll around
the wheel more than once.
We put the car away while we
were here, and used the sightseeing
busses and taxi cabs. After locating
a good hotel, we looked about to
pass the evening. We took a boat
ride to Nantasket Beach, a delight
full one hour ride from Boston and
passing two forts, several islands
and a prison-and, a glue factory
PHEW-that was like going through
Marcus Hook on a bad in Chester,
Pa. You don't need to be told where
you are and why the Odor the sec
ond time.
Sunday morning I accompanied the
other ladies to their Mother Church
of Christian Science. It is a wonder
full structure seating 5012 people in
the main auditorium, which was fill
ed that morning. We then visited the
Home Beneficial" conducted by the
same church, where one may go to
board during the summer for rest
and study. Later we visited the home
of the greatest benefactor of Chris
tian Science, Mary Baker Eddy,
which is kept intact just as she US
ed it, where visitors are welcome
every day between the hours of 9 a..
m. and p. m.
Later in the day we went to Bunk
er Hill and Old North Church, where
the signal lanterns were hung for
Paul Revere's ride, and then on to
his old home which is also kept in
thorough repair. This section is the
italian and other foreigners section
of Boston.
AS soon as the car stopped and be-
fore we had a chance to see the
house, the running boards of the car
were filled with Italian kiddies, re-
peating in unison, something. I
