summer. Roads that have not been
scraped and ditched for several years
have been touched up, and after we
have a good rain to settle the dust,
they will be in. fine shape.
We believe the Council is doing its
best with the funds. available. None
of them draws salary. Neither does
the Mayor. And yet never day pas
ses but that the Mayor, Jim Elliott
and Tom Schooley, who are the road
committee, can be seen on the job
looking after the interests of the
town. And the other members seem
to be just as busy. Even Darwin
Martin, the town clerk, works without
salary, his only compensation being
a small commission on the tax collec-
tions, and what with the recording of
minutes and the posting and recording
the new ordinances, he is a busy boy.
Of course, they can't please all of US
all the time, but they are an economi-
cal bunch and make every penny
count, and that's. something in these
times. ...,.,..
Thing and material for the new
culverts are on the ground and will
soon be in place.
At the last meeting of the Council
Silas o. Wiley was appointed as town
bailiff. Mr.. Wiley commands the re-
spect of the boys as well as the older
citizens, and we predict will make a
good officer. This is the third time
Mr.. Wiley has acted in such capacity,
he having been Park policeman thirty
two years ago, and again about two
years ago.

We wonder if there is a new drink,
having very potent effect, being dis
tributed to favored few in the Park,
of which we know nothing. In any
event, when bright light appeared in
the western heavens, some of our best
minds insisted that it was a balloon
anchored miles above the earth either
at Akron or Cincinnati, Ohio. Their
imagination even discovered that
there were red, white and blue, the
colors of the flag to be seen. And late
in the evening, when the transconti-
mental airplanes had passed over the
cities mentioned, the light was drawn
down and tucked in his hangar. We
hate to spoil good romantic imagi-
nation, or even. hint that the drink
was not what it was recommended to
be, but search through the books
reveals that on last Sunday night
Venus was the most brilliant of the
planets, and one VINO was favored by
a sight of this flaming star in the
west, is to be excused for believing
it to be any thing but a star.
Word has just been received by
