Our comment in last week’s paper 
relative to the purchase of an auto fire 
truck for Manchester, brought out the 
very pertinent query from one person, 
‘“What good would an auto bein a 
heavy snow storm?’’ ‘The next day we 
noted the following item in a Boston pa- 
per, which seems to answer the question 
very well: 
*“HULL, Jan. 5.—A record-break- 
ing run of the town’s new motor fire en- 
gine was all that saved Waveland from 
destruction by fire early today. ‘Three 
cottages valued at $9000 were burned to 
their foundations, but the 100 surround- 
ing them, which seemed certain of alike 
fate, were saved by the giant new engine. 
‘“The wind was blowing at a very 
high rate and sparks were carried into 
the surrounding groups of buildings. A 
large number of citizens turned out de- 
spite the terrible cold, and they worked, 
all ice-armored, until the town was safe. 
** None of the houses had been occu- 
pied. ‘Two were just finished and the 
third was nearly completed. ‘The police 
are satisfied the fires were incendiary, as 
they can find no other possible explana- 
tion. None of the surrounding cottages 
are tenanted at this time of the year.

‘“ The motor engine which saved the 
day is one of the latest built and the way 
it ripped over the frozen streets and deep 
drifts was a revelation. Its pumping ca- 
pacity is also much greater than one of 
the old steam type of engines.’’ 
It would seem that the auto truck can 
be used in winter, and is as capable of 
plowing through the snow drifts, as any 
fire truck drawn by horses. 
In many respects Hull is situated like 
Manchester; it is a summer resort, and 
though the cottages are for the most part 
much smaller in size and the estates less 
pretentious, the cottages form the prin- 
cipal part of the town’s assets. They 
are, of course, widely separated, as in 
any summer resort, and it is for this pur- 
pose that Hull saw fit to get this most 
up-to-date piece of apparatus—to best 
protect its assets, and thus nurture its 
principal business, that of catering to the 
summer resort trade. 
Ir is time to begin to think of the an- 
nual Town meeting and election, in 
Manchester. As to the election, there 
are no indications at present, that the 
waters will be over-turbulent; on the 
other hand, everything would indicate a 
smooth and peaceful sea. ‘The present 
board of selectmen have done nothing 
the past year tocause a desire on the 
part of the citizens for achange; they 
have on the contrary conducted the 
town’s business in a most commendable 
manner. It must be remembered that 
the problem of managing the town’s af- 
fairs grows more complex every year, as 
the town grows, and as the valuation of 
the town increases. [he present board 
has managed the affairs very satisfactorily, 
and, though we have not questioned the 
individual members of the board as to 
theirintentions, the general impression 
seems to be that the citizens want the 
present members to continue in office.

Why Not Establish Arts and Crafts 
Industries on the North Shore? 
Editor North Shore Breeze: 
I have been greatly interested, as have 
your readers, in Mrs. Carolyn Allen’s 
Report to the Women’s Club, on Arts 
and Crafts. 
It has occurred to me, in this connec- 
tion, that there can be no better place for 
planting such industries than Manchester 
by the Sea. The town has a reputation 
for its artistic furniture. Though for 
obvious reasons this industry has declined, 
ithas not wholly fallen into desuetude. 
A renascence in the form of choice orig- 
inal or antique designs would revive the 
prestige of former days. 
After some of the minor crafts, as 
mentioned by Mrs. Allen, if our women 
and youth would become interested, there 
would be a market immediately at hand 
among the denizens of our North Shore, 
who would appreciate and generously en- 
courage such industries. For two sea- 
sons Manchester has been a trade center 
for articles made by the blind. 
Our Women’s Club is doing a good 
work in awakening an interest in social 
welfare. If it would immediately take 
the initiative and provide instructors in 
one or more handicrafts, doubtless pupils 
would respond, and a stock of articles be 
got ready forthe summer trade. Not a 
few of our women, I believe, are yearn- 
ing for occupation, and what could be 
more acceptable than some gentle craft 
that would combine use with beauty and, 
incidentally yield aprofit? ‘The refining 
influence of such industries would elevate 
the tone and sentiment of our commun- 
ity, and add to the attractiveness of the 
town as a summer resort.
