 Protection Being Agitated The double tragedy at Railroad pond last Tuesday afternoon, which snuffed out 'the lives of two local 1 youngsters. has been the subject of much discussion and has given rise to many protests on the part of the | townspeople against the easy acces- 1 sibility to this most dangerous spot.
 It is understood that petition is 1 being prepared and will be presented ! to the town officials urging them to i force owners of the property to fence it in.
 ! The persons interested in the pro- l iect claim that the fact that bath ing or swimming is prohibited here does not deter youths of tender ages from risking the danger of drown | ing.
 Those agitating the movement feel that town officials should at least see to it that any such dan- gerous hcles or traps as existed at the point of the tragedy should be filled in 10 prevent any further loss Of human life.
