by fire to the extent of several thou sand dollurs a nd in November the Shelbtirii 9 twn ball also was visited by a fire of greater size The town meetings of ghelbume and Buckland arc now near at hand During the present week it has been assured that there are to be contests for office on the Buckland side of the river ns well ns at Shelburne Eddy a former member of the board ot selectmen of Duckland is seeking office or tax collector Brooks who has served for many years is to be opposed by Chief of Police Clarence: Dickinson and Rob ert March present' tree warden and janitor of the Crittenden schools Thursday ft was announced that there would be acontest for the office of selectman in the town of Shelburne between Carl Mitchell AV I' Kick ett and Zerali iske against Carleton Davenport Edward Hunter and Charles Dole A lively contest is now assured as all these men are known and prominent in the town of Shelburne Excellent reports 2 re given of' the Work of the town clerks of thesudwu towns A Bray of Buckland and Charles Ward of fehelburne Both men are thoroughly acquainted with town business and give largely of their time The financial condition of both towns is satisfying to all Ono oEtherchief subjects for dis cussion during recent at Shel burne alls jis the condition of the Baptist churchy!

players not extending so far as 1919 None of tho early resident layers were members cf the city council or otherwise assisted in municipal prob but they became considerable social asset laving a play a to perform every night and two hets having a play a week the week to perfect for the corning and having a trtav a week the week again to rough out for week after next the Northampton 'players found time nevertheless to give read ings on social occasions to speak nt luncheons though that was before Northampton citizens had become Ro tarian Kiwanian or Exchangeable to attend dinners and even to provide nil the entertainment "at the McCallum Little theater It became quite evident to North ampton citizens that however long or short the Northampton Players might be considered on emotional frenzy it unquestionably was a marvel that any member of the company could keep in mind what bn was expected to be come frenzied over and when A payt tlpiV'company cannot be come so well appreciated as this per hnpsor so well identified with either of its communities but making a less' er demand upon cither tor patronage it may find itself in a position that is financially much more secure Odd

considerable time to get the Ware West Brookfield' highway and will probably require time to get the desired results on the Ware Pal mer route but if tho proper methods are adhered to and the facts kept be fore the state department of public works there should be some action when money is available' With the extensive program for road building which confronts the state board each year it is neces sary for seekers after now highways to recite detrimental points and enum erate the advantages which would re sult in a convincing way before the necessary roller is forthcoming i Motorists using this highway' and they are numbered by the thousands hope for improvement soon which a ill make driving between the two towns a pleasure rather than something to be avoided whenever possible The recent consolidation of a num ber of the largest department stores in the United States Included Jor dan Marsh Of Boston and the Joslin company of Malden The latter name means little to the younger gen eration at Ware but to many of the longtime residents it is ot more than passing interest because the head of tlie Malden concern is a former Ware boy and one who has made good in no uncertain

Tufts store was to be sold he with his brother in law Capt Lyman II Richards chief of police of Malden decided to buy the business With a close personal friend rederick Joslin as his partner the firm of Joslin company was formed in 1891 Mr Joslin passed away in 1914 and a few years later a corporation was formed with Mr Lewds as one of the principal stockholders The store of which Mr Lewis will

the highway can be built thari win be a lessening of accident hazard on one vf tio high ways where traffic is on tne increase yearly requent accidents have occurred on thfit section ui uv knnwn hdl lilim tllfi COilcsl UCll the highway The road is laldioutin a peculiar manner in that sect on a dangerous curve being present at the foot of the hili on the west end and conditions at the foot of the easterly grade not being better i A few days ago two are vmcn were involved in an accident which fortunately did not end fatally al though it did Tesult in serious damage as well as causing injunct to both women This accident was due in large part to the construction of the highway it is claimed The road is none too wide and is known as a crowned road In the winter it is a difficult matter for two automobiles to remain on the macadam and pass This is so whenever there is any ice or snow present The section referred to is not by any means the only dangerous place and in fact all 10 miles provide more than an ordinary hazard during the bad traveling Accidents have been frequent on sections of the highway closer to Ware and most instances the constrc tion of the roaod has been blamed Ware has a piece of highway in the 10 mile stretch the road starting at the Trumble place on Palmer road and extending to the Three Mile bridge The judges were Miss Minnie Dana Mrs Evelyn Hubbard and Miss' Helena Todd The contest was a state wide one sponsored locally by the various chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution! Miss Bar essay has been sent to Boston to compete in the state contest for a prize the winning paper to be read over the radio The result of the recent action of the Amherst Historical society in vot ing to consider proposed repairs to the headquarters of the society the old Strong house on Amity street will be awaited with interest as the house is a fine old one which has long been a landmark in the community and it would be a pity to fail to maintain it in a proper state of presevation It was also voted to grade the rear of tho land which is near the Jones li brary in order to con fair with the near by landscaping a Arthur II Dakin was re elected president of the society at the annual meeting held this week Mrs George Churchill was chosen president and Miss Caroline Hunt clerk Other officers are the following: Treasurer George Cutler: librarian Dr rederick Tuckerman historian Green auditor A Hardy and directors the officers ex ofticlo and Elder Mrs Cb Haskell Ostrander Miss Sabra George Olds Mrs A and Mrs Walter A' Dyer and SHELBURNE ALLS CONTESTS ASSURED High Back tarved Hail Chair 119 This has to'' bo maintained by the town although at both Ware and Palmer ends th? state controls the highway The part of the highway east of the bridge and extending almost to Rob bins road was built back in the days when Ware did not boast of more than half st' dr sen automobiles apd is net suitable for ft two car road in spite of efforts bv state employes to make it serve The curves are dangerous and have' an outside crown which causes trouble for a driver in wet or slippery weather The Three Mile bridge is notsat isfqctory for present day traffic and if the proper steps were taken it would be replaced by ac structure which would satisfactorily handle the traffic situation Something has to be done soon to remedy conditions at the bridge but Ware cannot afford: to build a new bridge at a possible cost of $75000 The town should not be cause the percentage of traffic which originates small Instead road between Ware and Weft Warren It would seem more sensible if efforts were turned to a project which will benefit a much larger number of mo torists and provide a suitable highway for a traffic which is admittedly be coming too heavy for the Ware Pal mer highway If the state officials can be inter ested in the project and there seems to be plenty of arguments in favor of having a suitable highway for such an amount of traffic it might be possible to arange for the state to take over Ware's share of the highway and take charge of the whole section The railroad underpass condition has been an argument against a new road in the past and will still be used as a reason for delay It is a bad underpass and should never have been constructed but the condition is there and is no worse than is found' on many other highways where ths traf 4c nc bion nn this one Ware people are not proud of the Three Mile underpass and one often hears criticism of town officials who allowed any such condition to be established It should remem bered that when the underpass was built to abolish grade crossings of the Boston Maine and Boston Albany railroads automobiles were scarcer than horses are today and about all that can be said in criticism is that the sponsors did not have the accessary vision of the future One mav travel through various states of New England where tinder i passes have replaced grade crossings and' it is seldom one is discovered which arouses favorable comments The underpass can be tolerated pro viding the highway is rebuilt or im proved so as to make it suitable for today's traffic and the only way in which that can be brought about is over 1928 Among the items calling for an appropriation is the refloorlng of Montague City bridge at
