NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Mrs. G. Forest Eaton opened her 
hospitable home to the members of 
_ the Wenham choir last Thursday, and 
afforded the young singers a delight- 
ful evening. 
If the vote, 54 to 4, by which Wen- 
ham accepted the “water act” is anv 
indication, the town means to install 
an adequate water system as soon as 
prices of material and labor go down 
a little. Ivory Sumby, Ralph Smith 
and Lester E., Libby were elected 
wembers of the new board of water 
commissioners. 
Wenham again has place in the 
field of literature, as Rev. F. M. Cut- 
ler is author of the new history of the 
Massachusetts Coast Artillery “The 
Old TVirst” Regiment. It is a fine old 
tradition that Congregational pastors 
should be active in authorship as well 
as the pulpit, and Mr. Cutler complies 
with the custom. The present book 
is published by the Pilgrim Press, 
Boston. 
The campaign for national pre- 
paredness is meeting with response 
from Wenham _ people. The _ boy 
scouts have always been enlisted in 
this cause, and have as their motto 
“Be prepared.” They are devoting 
these two weeks to rifle practice, 
opening and operating the local range 
of the Essex County Rifle club. They 
are also prepared to do their part in 
the coast patrol if needed. Each

Tuesday the tea house presents an 
animated scene, as the large class in 
home nursing meet for instruction; 
while Thursday sees a smaller group 
of earnest ladies at the home of Mrs. 
Roswill Davis engaged in making sur- 
gical dressings. A historian finds the 
present atmosphere of the town sug- 
gestive of Revolutionary or Civil War 
days when Wenham had her company 
er of 1849 and the enthusiasm which 
then led to the organization of a lo- 
cal cavalry troop. Moreover : the 
town is represented in France by an 
aviator and ambulance driver who 
feel that they are helping pay Amer- 
ica’s debt to an old-time friend.
