Jack Frost
Arrived Yesterday

Marion's first frost arrived yes
terday morning.
The arrival of Jack Frost has
been been anxiously awaited this
year. Nature lovers have blamed the

on his delayed arrival. Businessmen
have attributed the slow sale of fall

most given him up for lost. But he's
here now and on the job.

Unidentified Boat
 Puzzles Marshal

The marshars office had the makings of a small-sized mystery this week when Jim Bradley re- ported the finding of an unnamed. unnumbered and unidntified boa, at Coney Island.
 The boat was a 20-footer with a plywood cabin and was anchored 10 a reef at Coney Island near Ideal Cove. Bradley brought the craft in to save it from loss when the tide came in. He said he heard the mo tor of the craft the night before 15-and next morning saw the boat tied to the reef with no one near.
 A check by Marshal Jack Krepps indicated the boat may be owned by Arland Breese of Petersburg It was thought possible that Breese who is unfamiliar with those particular waters-did not know that he was on a reef and that high tide would sink his boat. It was presumed he set out in a skiff
