DETAIL FOR TODAY
 Belle
Belle

In the Coast Guard and Navy time is told by BELLS. It's really a very simple method: when it is eight BELLS it's either 1. a. ra., Q 8. m., noon, { ?. m., 6 p. En., or midnight. When it is four BELLS it's either 2 a. I11., 6 a. rI1., 10 a. nn., 2 p. n., 6 p. m. or 10 ?. m. How- every, it is a bit confusing if you are awakened from sound sleep and have no idea whether 1t is a. m. or p. m. Some men like the bell system because as soon as they hear the BELLS they know immediately it is some time or other and it reminds them to look At . watch.

 closed and local factories are shut down for the week to allow em- .ployes to enjoy vacations. However, some hardy and patriotic souls who did not wish to let this important day in American history pass by without the proper celebration man. aged to cause quite @ disturbance with some large firecrackers in the vicinity of the Old Center school Green about o'clock the eve of the Fourth. Residents of the vicinity thought that the good old days were back again when 1t was the custom of the young bloods in town to start .canncnading on the eve before In- dependence day. However, the cele- bration was short lived, not be-
 cause the long arm of the law inter-
 fered but because these patriotic souls ran out of ammunition.
