Falls From Boat And
browns

Failing from a motor boat along
the shore line of lower Perry Point,
on Tuesday morning of last week.
william Howard Dinsmore, aged 10
years, was drowned. 1t was the open
ing day of ducking season, and
young Dinsmore remained in the
power boat while his companions
awaited the fight of ducks to their
blind, located some distance away.
They heard him call for help as he
fell into the water.
Dinsmore was attired in heavy
cunning clothes and boots and,
although an expert swimmer, was
unable to keep afloat.
The boat was not far from land
but at that point the shoreline falls
off very sharply and a strong tide
was running which frustrated at
tempts to- locate the body.
Several parties began Immediate
ly to drag the river bottom but the
body was not recovered until late
that evening.
He is survived by his father, Mr..
Howard Dinsmore, an attendant at
Perry Point, and three brothers. His
mother died about six months ago.
Funeral sevices were held Friday
afternoon and interment made in
Hopewell cemetery.

nresentation of her lecture before
the secondary schools and colleges OIL
the East A returned missionary
from Gwalior, India, where she serv-
ed for four years as a nurse IN the
home of the Sajah, Mrs. Grimm de-
voted two and one-half yesrs to re-
search work in the field of Industrial
and Medical Alcohol at the labora-
tory Of DR.. w. H. Moore in Cincin-
natl. Ohio. Her lecture was a pres
entation of the findings OF this IN
vestigation. Mrs. Griffin limited her
dvnamie discussion to Ethyl Alcohol
and through specimens, obJects'
charts. and diagrams sought to pres
ent the results of her work which
showed that the very properties
which make Alcohol useful INDUS
trially. render it harmful physi-
ologically.
Mrs. Griffin closed her lecture with
a plea that one stand by the courage
of his convictions not to drink even
though it may appear that the oc-
casion may demand it. At state
dinner in Gwalior at which Edward,
the then Prince of Wales, was being
entertained, six American missionar-
les. refused to drink other than
water in toast to the Prince. Never
theless, two of these Americans were
included in a party of six to accom-
pany the Prince Game Hunting the
following morning.

Residents of Perryvil1e and Havre
de Grace are openly charging they
have been "double-crossed" over the
proposal to tear down the toll-free
double decker bridge over the Sus-
quehanna River after the new toll
bridge is completed.
Mayor George r. Pennington OF
Havre de Grace and Lawrence w.
HEIGHT, president Of the chamber Of
commerce contend both Gov. Harry
w. Nice and Gov.-Elect Herbert r.
O'Conor, who will usher the new
Democratic regime In soon, promis-
ed before election that the old bridge
would be retained.
Now, Mayor Pennington cites,
Governor Nice says there must be
some mistake" and Mr.. O'Conor re-
calls letter in which he says he had
promised local protection" If pos
sible, but that he didn't have "ab-
solute authority"
The officials have been told by
Frank F. Luthart, a member of the
State Roads Commission that the
old bridge will definitely be closed
and probably torn down when the
new bridge is erected.
Mr.. Luthart gave the embattled
river bank citizenry one hope, how
ever. He said that if it. is deter
mined that the people Of Perryville
and Havre de Grace have a legal
right to free passage across the
river, then that free passage can be
arranged without undue trouble.
I'm such an event they would get
free passage across the new toll
bridge" he said. "They haven't any
thing to worry about"

From Hickory Grove

A congressman, he may be lack

comes to listening, he takes no
back seattle is a super champion
he knows listening.
And voters who have been sitting
around and let the Govt. take the
roof off their house, they are walk
ing up and sending messages and
letters-and talking turkey.
And if congress will now get up
some steam and start in and do
away with some of the comedy al
ready on the book, and omit any
mere new laws, we can stop wond-
ering every night about what to-
morrow will bring forth.
And if we just had the 10 com
mandments to go by. and nothing
else. it would be great. And to
study law, you would just read
Deuteronomy. And pardner, you
don't need a lawyer to explain it
like with the 8 A, where even a
Philadelphia lawyer cannot figure
it out.
And deuteronomy, it is a book
in the Bible. and is not some coun-
try in Africa or something to do
with your appendix.
Things look better.
