Bap PLACE To LEARN How To DRIVE. 
Abraham Ormut of 10 Sanborn st., 
Peabody, will take further lessons in 
auto driving before he comes to Man- 
chester again. He recently became 
the possessor of a five passenger 
touring car and on Wednesday he 
made a trip to Manchester to visit 
an acquaintance. Louis Halpert of 
School st., Peabody, accompanied him 
to instruct him in the running of his 
car. While Halpert and some other 
young men who accompanied them 
were getting a lunch, Ormut decided 
to take a spin on his own account. 
While turning the corner of School 
st. from Central he struck the stand- 
ing auto of G. A. Knoerr a glancing 
blow, bending the rear mud guard. 
His own machine received the greater 
damage from the collision, the left 
front mud guard being badly bent 
and the axle cap on the left front 
wheel being smashed. In trying to 
avoid striking the standing automo- 
MANCHESTER 
bile head-on Ormut ran his machine 
almost onto the sidewalk. He was 
badly frightened and promised to 
settle the damage to Mr. Knoerr’s car. 
He has not yet received his chauf- 
feur’s license, although he exhibited 
his receipt from the highway com- 
mission for the license money.

It is estimated that in 1915 about 
40,000 forest fires occurred in the 
United States, which burned over 
about 5,900,000 acres and caused a 
damage of approximately $7,000,000. 
Revised estimates place the amount 
of standing merchantable timber in 
the United States at approximately 
2,767 billion board feet. Of this 
amount 1,464 billion board feet, or 
53 percent of the total, is in Cali- 
fornia, Washington, Oregon, Idaho 
and Montana.
