SEEN AND HEARD By Will"Wimble The recent cold spell put a number of automobile owners to much incon- venience during the past few days. It was necessary for Police Chief’ Ed. Avery. Hughie Williamson and Ed. Preston to get help from passersby to get them started. While on the topic of cold weather, it is not necessary for local people to purchase electric refrigerators these days. All that is necessary to get on one of the local street cars with your foodstuffs and they will not spoil. It is too bad that the people cannot ride in comfort. 2 During the week -a young lady got on the 7:20 car here and had a blan- ket with her. When getting seated the young lady wrapped herself up in the blanket. Not a bad idea during a cold spell. What was wrong with the fire truck Saturday evening when it responded | to an alarm of fire and upon arirving the tanks would not function.

Come on, boys, let's see you at the meeting Monday evening. Many local people are opposed to the movement on foot now to have a paid police department in this locality. of any kind, and that the taxes are plenty high enough now without the police protection. Chief Ed. Avery brought down a nice big buck deer in the Poconos on Monday. It was ithe largest deer seen here ‘in some time. George ‘Shaver was out to Stoddarts- ville Monday but George didn't get a shot at anything.
