COMMUNICATION 
Protect Our Woodlands and Pay 
More Attention to this Important 
Asset. 
Editor North Shore Breeze, 
Dear Sir: 
A few words in approving the 
work that is being carried on by our 
Forest Warden and his Dept., will 
not be amiss, at this season of the 
year. Very few of our townspeople 
give it a thought; they know that 
there is such an official, but what 
his duties are, or what work he is 
accomplishing is beyond their appre- 
ciation. They know that we have 
forest fires all over the length and 
breadth of our land, but they do not 
realize that in the past year we have 
had some 30 odd fires all of which 
have been extinguished without the 
loss of one dollar of damage; and 
also that the warden’s force are ever 
on the alert to protect the large area 
of woodland that covers this part of 
the North Shore, and which with- 
out this protection, would be a 
menace to our beautiful town. We 
all are aware of the vast tracts of 
woods that surround Manchester, 
and once let a fire get well started 
in one of our forests near the village, 
more or less damage would be sus- 
tained. Several such sections which 
have been a menace, have been at- 
tended to lately. Dead wood, re- 
moved, undergrowth cut down and 
burnt, so that now they are not 
alone safe, but are a delight to 
wander through. For example the 
‘‘Old Pit,’’ above Baker’s farm, a 
wood-lot owned by the town, an eye 
sore for years; lately all the under- 
crowth and refuse has been cleared 
away, the young trees trimmed ani 
now this is an ideal grove where 
many a pienic can be held the com- 
ing summer. Powder House Hill 
likewise has had the same attention. 
And one can wander up to this de- 
lightful knoll without damage ft» 
one’s clothes by being torn with 
underbrush or bramble vine. 
When we realize that one of our 
chief assets is our magnificent 
woods, where our summer folony 
delight to roam, is it not a narrow 
policy to hedge and curtail the ex- 
penditure on the upkeep of our 
woodlands? Every year we appro- 
priate more or less money for the 
maintenance of our waterways and 
parkways. That is a move in the 
right direction, but we should go 
further; we should appropriate a 
sum larger than we do for the up- 
keep of our woodlands. More money 
can be used to good advantage, and 
money so spent in prevention will

Our Forest Warden asks for a 
spraying machine. Let us by all 
means grant this request. It will 
double its value in one. year, not 
alone will it be possible to do the 
work that at present we have to 
await the pleasure of the State to do 
with outside labor, but will give ad- 
ditional employment to some of our 
townspeople, or if a serious fire 
should threaten any section of our 
town the sprayer would give as 
geood an account of itself as the one 
did at the Salem fire, when it out- 
classed some of the State’s finest 
fire engines. In conclusion let us 
appreciate the good work, and I for 
one ‘‘take off my hat’’ to the pres- 
ent warden and his department and 
wish them God speed in their efforts.

There are two sisters, Fanny and 
Virginia, who have been reduced 
to poverty by the death of their im- 
provident father. Fanny, plump 
‘sq. 
and of natural but uncultivated in- 
telligence, takes up her dead 
mother’s trade as a milliner, while 
Virginia, naturally artistic and 
yearning for culture, is forced to 
find employment as a_ telephone 
operator. Fanny is engaged to 
marry James Gilley, a _ shipping 
clerk. Into Virginia’s life comes 
Robert Stafford, a self-made man 
and millionaire. In the opening act he 
has asked Fanny, James and Vir 
ginia to his sumptuously appointed 
apartment for a dinner party and at 
the end of it he has asked Virginia 
to marry him. I don’t know that I 
love you, he tells her, but if love 
means wanting to be tender to you, 
wanting you always near me and a 
desire to protect you, then I love 
you. And so the play runs. 
It’s a toss up whether ‘‘ Bought 
and Paid For’’ is a comedy drama 
or a drama-comedy. After all, it’s 
six to one, and a half a dozen of the 
other. There are just as many big, 
hearty laughs as there are tense 
moments, when you sit poised on the 
edge,of the seat, living over with 
the.aetors every emotion portrayed.
