The charming main street with its old New England flavor should be preserved from the din and roar of a continual string of autos.

New York.--O. Henry once wrote a tale of a true cosmopolite" a fcl- low whose feet knew no home and whose state of mind was interna- tional. @5s Yet he engaged in free -for-all | fight in a Manhattan cafe because someone made slurring remarks about his two-by-four home town in
