The thermometer dropped far be- 
low zero last Friday night. How far 
depended on who was telling it.  Re- 
ports of the temperature had it all 
the way from 14 below zero to 8 be- 
At any rate it 
was seven below when the WuIs- 
PERER came to work Saturday morn- 
ing. Can you figure out what time 
that was?

It can safely be said that the old 
political pot is beginning to sizzle. In 
fact, such has been the increase in the 
temperature of the contents of the 
particular iron’ kettle associated 
with the governmental affairs of the 
Town of Manchester that it may be 
said to be bordering upon the stage 
of ebullition.

A number of candidates for Town 
offices have appeared in the field this 
week. The newest entry into the 
fight for selectmen’s berths was B. S. 
Bullock. Chairman Knight and 
Selectman Samuel L. Wheaton will 
be candidates for reelection, it is un- 
derstood. As previously announced, 
Frank G. Cheever of the present 
board will not be a candidate. Pat- 
rick H. Boyle is an announced candi- 
date and it is assured that George R. 
Dean will run for the board also. W. 
“R. Bell, who is a candidate for the

(C. Rand are candidates for the unex- 
pired term. L. W. Floyd is also a

candidate to succeed himself and 
papers have been taken out for Chas.

It surely bespeaks the popularity 
of the movies that over 200 should 
have been turned away from the first 
evening’s entertainment in Manches- 
For a town, which 
has practically put the ban on the 
moving picture as a form of enter- 
tainment after its general acceptance

by the public everywhere, the show- 
ing was remarkable. The unusual 
turnout for the picture show in the 
hall on Wednesday evening should 
encourage some venturesome spirit 
to make the movies an institution in 
Manchester by establishing a_ per- 
ianent movie theatre.

The good sleighing the past week 
has been a great temptation to youth- 
ful coasters in Manchester and the 
various slopes have been peopled 
with flying youngsters. They take 
all sorts of chances of colliding with 
teams or automobiles, but fortunately 
there have been no accidents. In 
some towns traffic is diverted from 
certain streets so the children may 
slide in safety. Wouldn’t it be a good 
idea for Manchester to try?

“Prominent ‘summer residents of 
Marion, Wareham and Mattapoisett 
have joined in arranging a systematic 
effort to rid the marshes of the hate- 
ful and baleful mosquito, and are 
prepared to give the pests $27,000 
worth of the treatment that has 
proved effective in New Jersey.” 
The South Shore has nothing on 
the North Shore in this regard. The 
work was started here last year.
