"School days! School days!

"School days! School days!
Dear old Golden Rule days,
Taught to the tune of hickory stick
It's to be held in the old auditorium
this Thursday evening, August 10,
and it's going to be a great program,
which reminds us that Mountain Lake
does hereby issue a challenge to our
neighboring city, Oakland, for real
spelling bee" We really aren't "kid-
ding" about this. Some of our best peo-
pie are interested, and we think this
"bee" would make great entertain
ment for one and all. ''
If Oakland is interested, get in
touch with this correspondent and We'll
guarantee you real Spelling bee"
You know it seems to us that all
winter we could have something of
of this sort. Just now with the inter
est which centers around the McGuffy
programs the whole country seems to
go in for spelling matches, etc, so we
can't be out of style. In other words,
it's up to US to "get in style" and fix
up real spelling match. You'll be sur
prised at the cold timers" who enter
into thing of this kind.

FENCE DISPUTE
 SETTLED TODAY
NeighbOrs Agree on New Plan to Benefit BOth
 Sites

A neighborly dispute over a fence between property was dropped to- day with the reported settlement of the injunction action of Louis Cl1i- arella and others of 320 Oak street against Antonio Roteila of 333 Oak street. &s
 The dispute arose over the action of the defendant itl erecting q tight board fence, between seven and nine feet high between his property and the plaintiffs. The plaintiff sought it's removal on the grouds that it was tfnsigf1tIy and of no value to the defendant. Damages of 5000 had also been asked. It was claimed that the fence caused the deprecia- ton of the property,
 Tn settling the dispute, the neieh- bors are said to have conferred and decided to erect a different sort of fence, which would not destroy the beauty of either piece of property. The defendant, in special defense, had claimed that the fence was nec- essary to protect his land from trespassers who were stealing his fruit, vegetables and flowers, and throwing missiles into his yard. Ate torney Thomas F. McGrath repre- sented the defendant, with Attor- ney s. 8. Cassel for the plaintiff.

 Vice Car Included
 Superintendent Roach stated that the cars to have the two-way sys- tenn will be those manned by of- ficers of the motor patrol, and in speaking of the vice squad car he said that this cruiser is assigned to tn, entire city and 1t is necessary that 1t keep in ouch with the ac- tivities of the department elsewhere.
 Space has been selected at police fleadquarters for the establishment of control room which will be manned by two experienced opera tors, who will at all time be ir- formed of the location of cruising cars in order that messages may be transmitted quickly to all with in speedy travelling distance of any given area. When this arrangement is placed in effect, Superintendent Roach said that whole section can be covered and patroled within a very short time.

 When installations are taking place, 1t is believed that at least one fire department vehicle will al- 50 be equipped with the two way system since 1t Is reported that Chief Thomas J. Cavanaugh, has made application for such appara- tls in his machine.

RUSSELL SCHOOL
 STUDENTS LAUDED
Poetry, Reading, Drawing Combined in Study of
 Evangeline

When the seventh grade pupils of the drawing class at Russell school first heard the words This is the forest primevap last January they probably didn't know too much about the story of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's ill-fated heroine, Evan- geline.
 But now, after i've months of preparing no less than % large wa- ter color drawings which depict the action of the poem, this work hav- ing been done along with the read ing of the tale, there are very few pupils in the class who would not eagerly raise their hands to vol- unjteer information concerning the plot.
 Story in Pictures
 Under the direction of Miss Irene Spellman, teacher, the mem bers have also compiled Q story of the poem in their own words. For each of the twenty-five pictures which have been drawn, short story of the action shown in the picture has also been written by members of the class.
 The pictures, considering the fact that they were drawn by seventh grade pupils are very well done. But the most important thing is the fact that the pupils, by combining poetry, reading and drawing in their study, will probably remember the story Of Evangelinc for many years to come. The pictures were displayed recent ly at the school at an assembly, at which the pupils of the sixth, sev- enth and eighth grades were guests.
 Those who did most of the actual drawing work were: Jack Gobir1, Kenneth Kirby. Francis Conway, Fibre Marrone, Dorothy Kirchberger. Michael Iaienaro and Alice Grea- torex.
 Members of Glass
 The rest of the members of the class follow:
 Henry Bcnevento, Kenneth Belts. Leonard Foster, John Joy, Harold Kalosky, Donald Lipps, Ralph Ma loncy, Peter Maros, William Marti- nelli, Francis McQeever, William Overton, Julio Ricciardl, Lawrence Ricciardi, Julio Vicenzi, Edward zupnes, Antolnette Barbino.

The I.ibrarv State

The Library State. Many names have been comes the fact that the state has many volumes in it's public libraries that every resident of the state old and young could take out three books at one time and there would still be books left the shelves There are 3,750 books per thousand of population. Quite record and evidently quite state of bookwors, not meaning to be offensive you know Further than that New Hampshire claims to have had the first free public library in the country, established free ownership basis That was 1853 In 1849 the state first authorized the support of public libraries from tax funds In 1859 1t was the first state to impose special tax levy for meeting library expenses However this boastng Will get New Hampshire nowhere It's third on the list of states in per capita circulation of books
