NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
MANCHESTER 
There were several Hallow-e’en 
parties in town Tuesday evening, the 
dancing party in the Town hall at- 
tracting many of the younger folk. 
The party was conducted by Frank 
Fleming and Bert Sinnicks. 
Miss Flossie Allen entertained a 
party of her school friends, and Miss 
Maude Smith also had a party. 
Miss Elizabeth Dillon has resigned 
her position at the Old Corner Store 
and is at Tappan’s for the winter. 
Officer Leary, who is on night duty 
at present, brought in John Carney 
from the station Tuesday afternoon. 
John had been celebrating, and he was 
not deemed a safe character around 
town. 
Mrs. Nellie Smith is enjoying a 
week’s vacation with friends in Mag- 
nolia, and with her brother William 
on the South Shore. 
There was a lively runaway in the 
centre of the town Monday noon, 
when a pair of express horses attached 
to a heavy truck started from the 
freight yard and galloped wildly up 
Beach, through the centre of the town 
to Bridge street, where they were 
stopped by M.E. Gorman. On Union 
street the wheels of the heavy truck 
struck a wagon belonging to Robert- 
son, the plumber, but no injury re- 
sulted. 
A 15-pound cod pulled from the 
rocks of Smith’s Point—that’s the 
latest, and it is a fish story of merit 
too. Mrs. Enock Crombie is the for- 
tunate fisherwoman. One day re- 
cently, with rod and line she went to 
the rocks near her residence and 
pretty soon she felt a nibble. She 
pulled, and the harder she pulled the 
harder the thing on the other end of 
the line pulled; but finally it was 
landed and after floundering about 
among the rocks the line broke, but 
this did not phase Mrs. Crombie who 
landed her catch on dry land after a 
tussle. This is the biggest single 
catch on record, but it can be vouched 
for.

Supt. Fish has just completed his 
second monthly examination of the 
reports of the pupils of the schools. 
While the school authorities recognize 
the incompleteness of the monthly re- 
ports of the pupils, they are very de- 
sirous of having the parents avail 
themselves of this only means of com- 
munication between the schools and 
the home and lock the reports over 
with great care. The superintendent 
now examines each report before 
they are sent home, and has a per- 
sonal interview with the pupils who 
may have fallen below the marking of 
the past month. “It is gratifying,” 
said Supt. Fish, “to find the number 
of cases where improvements have 
been made over last month.”’ 
Miss Susie Gould of Boston was in 
town Wednesday visiting relatives.
