The friends here of Chas. L. Bedell 
of Lynn, who lost his eyesight about 
four months ago from the fumes of 
wood alcohol used in connection with 
painting, will be interested in the big 
benefit ball to be held in Odd Fellows’ 
hall, Lynn, Feb. 16. The affair is 
being given through the instrumental- 
ity of two of his former associates 
here— Claude Temple and H. B. 
Thyne. Long’s orchestra of 10 pieces 
will furnish music. A delegation will, 
no doubt, attend from here. A gold 
watch and a handsome umbrella, do- 
nated by Lynn merchants, will be 
given to the best lady and gent dancer. 
Apropos the destructive effects of 
wood alcohol, it may be said a bill is 
now before the House at Washington, 
and Mr. Bedell goes to the capital 
shortly to show the effects of the. 
fumes on his eyes. 
Mrs. Walter E. Allen gave a party 
last Wednesday afternoon for her son, 
Charles Edwin, on the occasion of his 
sixth birthday, some dozen of the little 
fellow’s playmates being invited. Re- 
freshments of ice cream and cake were 
served, games were played, and the - 
afternoon passed all too quickly. 
A valentine party is to be held in 
the Town hall on the 14th, under the 
auspices of the W. R. C. 
Miss Lila Lucas of Essex spent the 
latter part of the week at the Cove 
visiting her aunt, Mrs. Albert Lucas. 
Telephone Company Change 
An important change went into 
effect in the local division of the New 
Eng. Tel. & Tel. Co. on February 1, 
for on that day the ‘central division,”’ 
as it is now known, was divided into 
five divisions, and one of them to be 
known as the North Shore division. 
The reason for this change is that 
the now ‘‘central division ”’ is so large, 
having grown so in recent years, that 
it was thought best, in order to main- 
tain the standard of service at its 
present high position, to abolish this 
division and create out of the territory 
five new and smaller divisions 
Salem will be the headquarters of 
the North Shore division, and it will 
at present include the exchanges in 
Salem, Beverly, Newburyport, Glou- 
cester, Manchester and adjoining 
towns. H. W. Worthley, until re- 
cently connected with the division 
office in Lowell, will be the superin- 
tendent of this division. 
There has long been a desire on the 
part of the subscribers along the im- 
mediate North Shore to have free 
service for subscribers at Magnolia, 
Manchester and Beverly Farms. Per- 
haps this may be a means of effecting 
this end.
