This year it will be different. We are issuing this warning in plenty of time so cut before they go to seed.” “Weeds in vacant lots present a health menace and a fire hazard in addition to being unsightly. ‘Hay fever sufferers, especially, are incon- venienced when weeds are not cut.” Burgess Morgan urged all good citizens to cut their weeds at once so that the town will present a tidy appearance for the library auction.

Two anglers from Wilkes-Barre lost their boat and several hundred | dollars worth of gear, and were left floundering in deep water off War- ! dan Place Saturday night, when the operator of a motorboat rammed it, | throwing the frantically signalling fishermen into the water and com- pletely demolishing the boat. Richard Burnat, 23, told ' Chief Edgar Hughes that he thought he had hit a piece of driftwood, and that he had to make for Point Breeze in a hurry to keep his own boat from swamping, as water poured through a hole in the bow.
