Troop 5 The last meeting was held 'at the Episcopal Church oil Wednesday, April 23,'1930. There were thirteen boys present- We played games until the scoutmaster arrived. After the opening exercises, we had the customary drill in marching for five or ten minutes. We then `had a demonstration of artificial respiration and its use for the benefit of those passing first aid. We were informed that if a person . has been shocked by a live wire, arti- ficial respiration must be resorted to for the shock paralyses a nerve in the top of the brain, which controls the breathing. It should always be kept up for at least four hours, even if the . patient has recovered consciousness. If, by that time, he has not, lie may be given up. The scoutmaster added jokingly, "that if you have done one hour and one-half, you have done enough for one day." Several scouts attempted to pass first aid. Edward Phipps passed his Ten- derfoot test. We were pleased to find that the troop has two second-class scouts. They are George Dugan and John Dobbins. The former has four merit badges. These were all awarded at the last Court of Honor, oil Wednes- day, April 16. Commissioner Nash • came in toward _ the end of the meeting. He said that he hoped some more of us would ap- pear at the next Court of Honor, on Wednesday, May 21, Some of the boys had to leave early to get the bus for North Reading. The closing exercises were held and the troop was dismissed at 8•.50. ' Clark Robinson, Scribe. NECROLOGY "John A. Merrill John A. Merrill, son of Frederick D.

This is a 'most important question and it is highly desirable that anyone who has an opinion on this moot subject should make it a point to be there and present the ideas for the consideration of the Town Fathers. Regulation of parking, parking, on` one side'only or returning'the thoroughfare to one way traffic are several of the suggested solutions.: There are of course serious objections, to any one of these steps and the question, narrows itself down to the, point as to which is the least objectionable. The time to express an opinion is now and not after a decision has been made. After Haven street was made a one way street {here. arose' a storm of protest, so much. so that the regulation' was removed and then followed more protests. This on again; off again, performance is most confusing and to avoid such a state of affairs in the future the. Selectmen have very. wisely decided'to listen to the protests beforehand instead of later when the regulation has gone into effect.. 't'herefore, the thing to do is to come out tonight, listen to the story and register any kicks right then. and. there," It is only in this way that the officials can make, themselves•cognizent of the'facts.which are absolutely necessary to form a true and lasting opinion. ! This is what the Selectmen desire; and-are asking for an expres-. Sion of opinion before they act. There can be no force to any corn- . plaints that are made later. unless they are registered tonight„ prior to the taking of any official acts n. So come out tonight, listen to the arguments and register your opi 'on, or "*ever after .hold your peace.
