Club presidents, secretaries and 
representatives of eight neighboring

A delightful program of music and 
readings was provided by Miss Jean 
MacDonald, soloist, of Boston, and 
Miss Sarah Manier, reader, of Hud- 
son. Miss MacDonald provided her 
own accompaniment at the piano. 
Her selection of songs covered a wide 
scope and her interpretation of the 
more difficult numbers won appre- 
ciative responses from the audience. 
She was particularly effective in Wii- 
son’s “Carmena Waltz Song” for en- 
core to which she sang an Irish love 
song by Margaret Lang. Miss 
Manier’s reading of Booth Tarking- 
ton’s “Wednesday Madness” and a 
scene from the first act of “Jeanne 
D’arc” were her most effective num- 
bers.

<——. 
The driver of the auto truck that 
wrecked the ‘Manchetser Postoffice 
last Thursday isn’t going to take any 
more chances on the building. When 
he came to town yesterday with a 
load of groceries for the O’Keefe 
store on Union st. he didn’t go up the 
all and let the truck stand while he 
unloaded. Experience is a_ pretty 
good teacher. Mr. Chauffeur went 
up the hill, turned around and came 
back to the store, and as a special 
precaution let the wheels rest against 
the curbing before he dared leave the 
seat. Meanwhile the  Postoffice 
clerks and carriers worked with their 
coats and hats on, ready for a hasty 
exit in case the truck started any 
more antics. They expect it to 
reach the inner office the next time it 
tries to enter the building instead of 
being merely content at knocking off 
a corner and smashing a few win- 
dows. Traffic was diverted around 
town house hill while the truck was 
stationed on Union st. yesterday and 
pedestrians who chanced in that vi- 
cinity kept their eyes peeled for any 
new capers the truck might under- 
take. 
DS aoe!’ Soe 
George D. Haskell, janitor of Town 
hall has suggested that the chauffeur 
whose auto wrecked the front of the 
Manchester postoffice last week had 
been attending the Billy Sunday meet- 
ings and was trying to “brighten the 
corner where he was.” His auto cer- 
tainly let daylight into the corner and 
brightened things considerably for 
Koberts & Hoare.

Ji RE a 
the other day by Chief of Police Sul- 
livan. During the entire season there 
were only two accidents serious 
enough to take the injured persons to 
the Beverly hospital. One occurred 
in the middle of the night in a seclud- 
ed section and was probably due to 
the carelessness of the chauffeur. 
The only other accident was that to 
a small boy who got in the way of an 
automobile and sustained a fracture 
of the arm. Neither accident was 
due to speeding. The wider range 
possible in patroling roads since the 
acquisition of the motorcycle by the 
police department has helped to re- 
cuce speeding to the minimum. 
Gloucester had fatal accidents during 
the year and Beverly also suffered in 
this respect. Manchester with more 
congested traffic, in the center of the 
town, than either escaped serious ac- 
cidents largely because of the effi- 
ciency of the motor officer, but also 
because of—luck. | Manchester has 
two dangerous road curves in the cen- 
ter of the town—School and Central 
sts., and the postoffice corner—and on 
busy days in summer hundreds of 
autos pass these corners hourly. — It 
has also been noticed that Manches- 
ter has been fortunate in the past in 
that no accidents have happened to 
school children from passing auto- 
mobiles.
