 The picture was under production before the recent wholesale indict- ments against the fake accident racket were being headlined in the newspapers all over the United States.

NEW SUB.STATION
 FOR COOKE STREET

The establishment of new post office sub-station at 704 Cooke street was announced today by Postmaster Charles A. Babin, to open on August IS. The new station, like the others in various sections of the city, will carry on nearly all postal bushes that the central post office does. The sub-sta tions are an accommodation to the public, which can buy stamps and money orders there after the post office building is closed. Many persons who live in outlying parts of the city naturally find 1t more convenient to visit a nearby sub- station than to make trip to the post office. The establishment of the Cooke street sub-station will bring the total number in Water- bury to IS, according to the post master.

He started to take her to the shore when she became frightened and grabbed him tightly around the neck, greatly endangering both of their lives.
 At that point Stuart Mitchell heard their cry for help, and he immediately swan to the spot where they were struggling in the water. He grabbed the girl by her hair and swam with her toward a boat, which was being navigated toward them. They were soon lifted into the boat, and as Stuart said over the radio, T felt a bit shaky because I really didn't know much about life saving. but when I heard her cry, I couldn't think or do anything else but jump in the water after her. Believe me, from now on I'm going to learn really how to be a life saver in the water.'
