OF JUe last lew udNS we are al DGlIlS
reminded that it will not be long I'M
til winter is with US once again, and
speaking of winter some one made the
very pertinent remark that they hoped
our town officials would see to
take as good care of our roads as was
done last year The fact that all the
streets were kept clar insured all res
idents of being able to get out when
and where the pleased. 1t took care of
both pedestrian and motOrist, not to
mention the school children. We can all
do our part by keeping our own side
walks clear.
