MANCHESTER 
~ Public schools will open Tuesday, 
Sept. 5, for the fall term. 
Mrs. George Haskell returned yes- 
terday from a week’s visit to rela- 
tives in West Roxbury.

nomo defeated the Oceanside team

One of the traffic posts has been 
put in the sharp turn in the road at 
the Lily Pond, Manchester Cove—a 
most dangerous corner. 
Harold Trafton will come on from 
New York tomorrow for a two weeks’

William Hurley and Miss Helen 
Hurley of Boston and Miss Marion 
Hughes of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., are 
spending three weeks in Manchester. 
The silent policemen doing duty in 
Central square are earning their keep. 
lf it were not for the posts located 
at this bad corner and services of an 
officer during the day, Manchester 
would not have its clean record in 
regard to accidents. While nearly 
every other town in the state is hav- 
ing bad accidents, Manchester has so 
far escaped, although it has more 
traffic at its busiest corner in propor- 
tion to its population than most cities.

Long before the Boston Tea Party 
or the Declaration of Independence 
were dreamed of, the old weathercock, 
which has surmounted the steeple of 
the Manchester Congregational church 
for nearly a century and three-quar- 
ters, was put in place. When first 
installed in his lofty position he was 
a gay young rooster, but the winds 
and rains of scores of years have bat- 
tered some of the spirit out of him 
and of late he has appeared somewhat 
dilapidated. So the other day he was 
remoyed from his high station in life 
and will be given a fresh start. Inci- 
dentally, his weather beaten body will 
be freshened with a little gold paint. 
feing a church weathercock, this 
should be stimulant enough. As he 
was erected in 1750, he has now 
reached the ripe old age of 166, and 
with the renovating he is now receiv- 
ing, will be ready for another century 
of service to coming generations in 
Manchester. The venerable weather- 
cock was repaired during the painting 
ef the church steeple, a difficult task 
en windy days. Scaffolding has been 
built around the belfry tower, and 
one of the cornice decorations, point- 
ing to the north, which was blown 
down some time ago, has been re- 
placed and painted,

FREE BATHING 
CORRESPONDENT RAISES QUESTION OF 
Ricuts oF NON-RESIDENTS. 
Editor North Shore Breeze: 
Your “Whisperings” in the BREEzE 
of the 11th inst. regarding the popu- 
larity of Singing Beach and the capa- 
city of our pubiic bathhouses calls 
attention to an important question. 
Grave questions arise and some of 
these issues will have to be answered 
sooner or later. As Singing Beach 
becomes more popular, what are the 
townspeople going to do about it? 
One of the problems is, has the town 
a right to grant private parties a per- 
mit to establish a private bathhouse 
and then take compensation for the 
lease of the same? If so, where, or 
how will we be able to find more 
space for public bathing houses? 
I am convinced that the town has, 
“om the first taking over of the 
Leach, exceeded its right by granting 
such permits, and I see no way in 
the near future but to establish en- 
tirely public bathing houses and 
charge a fee for the use of the same. 
‘ are now being crowded, not by 
the rightful pleasure-seekers of the 
town, but by the whole of Essex 
county and its neighboring counties. 
-hould the town of Manchester be 
tie mecca for free bathing? What 
cre we going to do about it? 
One Wuo Is INTERESTED.
