In one, we die if submerged too long, in the other, fishes die. For centuries men have been familiar with the ocean of' water, inventing legends about it diving into it for pearhl, sailing over it for commene. and recently men have explored it in dicing bells.

TOWN BOARD ASKED TO QUIET RADIO A complaint was registered with the Town Bo'ard by Mrs. J. H. Bowser Tuesday evening when the board j met in regular session. Mrs. Bowser stated in her complaint that a radio owned by C. R- Hollett and plated aiear. the Seider and Burgener grocery store on Main street annoyed her so much by its loud playing that she could not sit on the front porch of her home when it was turned on. She also declared that last summer and the summer before she was forced to listen to radio playing from 6 o’clock in the morning until late at night and that this summer she was determined not to put up with the noise any longer. She asked the Town Board to pass an ordinance requiring that no radio should be played on the streets 01 Syracuse because radios played on the streets are in public places and are) nuisances. “1 can stop this radio from playing by having a temporary injunction served," Mrs. Bowser said, “But I prefer to -have the Town Board pass an ordinance making radio playing on the streets a nuisance.” The Town Board thought that radio playing on the streets is annoying, and told Mrs. Bowser that they would investigate and find out if an ordinance prohibiting radio playing in public places would be legal. W. T. Colwell read the contract for the new fire engine house, which he had drawn up for the Town Board and Doty Brothers to sign. Tht provisions of the contract were discussed by the board members anc accepted. -A One of the provisions requires that labor from Syracuse must be employed by the contractors whenever possible. YOUNG MEN HURT IN AUTO WRECK Milo and Armond Klingerman of Buttermilk Point and two girl friends from Ligonier were injured in an automobile accident a quarter of a mile this side of Cromwell, Saturday night about 8 o’clock. It is thought the car, owned by Milo, struck a rut in the road. Anyway it was thrown to one side, hit an electric light pole which it broke off in such away that it fell on the driver’s side of the car, crashing through the top of the machine. The car turned on its side, and all of the young people were able to crawl out of the machine before it became charged with electric current. This had happened by the time the wrecking c£r came. When is arrived it was impossible to touch the wrecked machine until linemen of the electric company had come from Goshen to shut the current from the cables carrying the 4,000 volt*. It is said sparks of electricity flashed about the car until the power was shut off. The girls and Armond Klingerman received cuts, and two of Milo’s ribs were cracked. Passersby took the injured people to the doctor in Cromwell and then to their homes. The car was new this spring and was not insured. Every glass in it was shattered. CAN ANYONE BEAT TIfIS? Mr*.
