Boston, Sept. B. (UP) - Horsemeat went on the menus of two Boston hospitals today as the meat shortage reached its most critical stage in the city.
 Officials at the MasSachu- setts General Hospital and the Massachusetts Eye and Ear h. firmary said there was no beef on hand and the horsemeat full filled the necessary dietary re- quirementS. It is tougher and has a little different flavor, they said, but it is just as good for patients as beef.

Plymouth PIons New
 Town HOII

Terryvllle. Dee, aA--Iale Town ol Plymouth may have . new town hall much sooner than many resi- dents have thought possible The Board of Selectmen win meet short- lr with the Board of Finance to discuss the damage caused by Mon- day evenings fire in the town hall, which caused damaged estimated At more than sTOo0.
 The meeting will be called as soon as insurance adjusters complete their study Of the damage to the l00~year-old former ofiice of the Eagle Lock Company which hes housed town officials for more than 90 years,
 Sentiment among town officials seem to be it would be inadvisable to spend the insurance funds for repair work. but rather use the money for the erection of Q modern town han which would be of suf- ficient sine to care for the various ofiiceS needed by town ofilcialS, pro- vided that voters of the town at special town meeting should vote it,
 During the fire last Monday eve- ming which attracted Q crowd of several thousand people, many ex- pressed their opinion a new town hall should be erected at once, rather than endeavor to repair the present wooden frame building.
 The town hall is located on Main Street. and many feel new hall could be erected on the same site to harmoniSe with the Terryville Trust Company building of brick construc- ton.
 In erecting Q new town hall, the feeling is the building should only contain offices and an auditorium.

Tape Reint0rceS Slippery GGrter
By ALICIA HART NEA StaR Writer

The slipping gaSer which pulls out Of the back of a girls stocking and cancels her girdles support just where she needs 1t most is a familiar problem. If there are any garter-knobs made that will hold their grip whe na woman bends or heaves herself out of a low-slung sofa, haven't yet met one.
 But there's a way to make the slippery buttons stay put, even un- der the tsrain of pack-knife bends. Here's the trick. passed on by an inventive reader who thought it up for herself.
 Her method is to glue a tiny strip of adhesive tape across the back and over the sides of the gar ter's knob. The adhesive strip adds enough reinforcement and rough surface under the garter's hook to tighten its grip on the wayward knob. .-
 That grip. doctored up this way says our helpful reader, will hold no matter how much bending you do or how many accents you make from a low-slung sofa.

 "Of course I don't work as I used to. Try to be temperate in all things. Always was" he says.
 Long life and hard work is in the aid at East Hampton, even as much as the ringing of the bells, manu- facture of which has made the town famous.
 Down the street from Bevin's office is @ brass company whose working president, N. N. Hill, is 84. President of the Gong Bell Conn., pany, is Clifford M. Watrous, "A. J. Howell Conklin, secretary-treasurer. is a youngster of 7l.

Yankee tradition. that has grown old gracefully. At7s3O in the morn- ing, the working day starts when the bell at Bevins factory first tolls. The towns nine factories turn out, besides bells, toys, glass racks fish nets, folding boxes, and nylon thread. Not one train runs through the town to disturb the general peace. By P. M. everyone is ready for bed.
 DON'T DRINK" HE SAYS
 To most of those living in East Hampton, Bevin is Uncle Chan" the man who last summer, when the temperature was 96 in the shade, pitched in on his farm to direct the work himself because he thought some of the boys were loafing a little.
 He wears his age well, stands an erect six feet, weighs 150 pounds.
 Don't drink" he says, speaking of his health. Cut out cigarets a fe wears ago. I felt better"
 The atomic age has made few changes here.
 Work is work, says Bevin, and you can't change that. Patience and fortitude and thrift. They add up.T hey're Yankee traits.
 "Business?"
 Cant fill my orders. Trying now to catch up with my 194l orders"
 As for strikes, we just don't have those things around here" No unions either. Folks work for us 50 to 60 years. We treat help decently." Robert Rich. one of the expert molders at Bevin's plant has been on the job 55 years. Charles Christensen has rung the factory bell three times daily for quarter of a century.
 Religion plays an important part in his life. He's the oldest Church and gets to services just about every Sunday.
 I've made habit of it all my life"
 Bevin lives in a 100-year old two-story Colonial home. His wife died four years ago. His son is a bell-maker and he has seven grandchildren and 10 great-grand- children.
 Bevin doesn't often leave the quiet of East Hampton, but this week he will motor to New York City as guest of honor of the Na- tional Association of Manufactur- CTS. A chauffeur will drive him down. Not too slowly either.
 Uncle Chan" ikes speed when he's travelling.

 he doesn't work as hard as he used to but he's at his desk
