WESTERLY FIREMEN GETTING “READY(* at Watch Hill Saturday by Conference Held Sunday in Regard to Placing the Hand-fire Engine and Other Contests—Automobile Plows Fhrough Flock of Turkeys, Killing 17—Steamer Block Island Kept Heavy Wind and Sea B Few American families sent repre- | sentatives of three successive genern- tions into public life, says the Provi- dence Journal editorially. The Dixon family of Westerly has been celebrated for doing this. The fact is called to mind anew by '.he death of Walter Palmer Dixon, its last male member. It was made notable by the career of a member who attended Brown and became & advonill.a, tht;m do much to put Westerly on e m&’.l;‘ Unlike many other important men of the state, this Nathan F. Dixon did pot abandon his town for the sake of the greater opportunities, of Provi- dence, nor did his son or grandson of the same name. The representatives of the family successfully maintained political pow- er from their town and probably did much to give some precedence In state affairg to others of its townsmen, who ag members of what may be called the Dixon school of political leaders, have afforded it more prominence in state affairs than the size of the pop- ulation has warranted, President William A. Brown and other members of the tourna- ment committee of the Rhode Island State Firemen’s association, were in Westerly Sunday, to decide upon the lomflon of the platform to be used by the hand fire engines In the squirt- ing contest, which is to be held in the Vose baseball field, also to select a place for the hose reel races, and to go over the proposed line of march, which according to the league rules will not be over two miles. The committes were received by Chief Engineer Sam- uel G. Cottrell of Westerly and Chief Stahle of Pawcatuck, and taken over the planned line of march to the Vose field. Tt is probable that the line will form in Canal street, right r'_ehsting near the y station and e Dros on, :3:; over the line of march. From Canal to High street, to Grove avenue, to Broad, to Main, to Cross, to Elm, to Broad street, thence across the bridge to West Broad street and up West Broad to Morgan strest. The procession will countermarch down Wel( Broad street, up Broad and Granite streets to the tournament grounds. The local committee have received acceptances from several fire organ- izations of the league accepting invi- tation to participate in the muster and fleld day, among them the -Watche- '110 t ct:l:&v‘z{u of Providence WI:E ‘men, the ington, Narraganse Wakefleild and Peacedale companies. Early Saturday morning an automo- bile of high power and evidently driven to the limit of power, whirled through a flock of young turkeys on the Shore road and killed seventeen of the birds. The turkeys were owneZ by Walter James. The automoblle is owned by a summer resident of Watch Hill who is known to be a fast driver. The automobile was not damaged, but the owner will be given opportunity to settle with Mr. James, or take the consequences. The strong southwest wind that pre- vailed Saturday caused such a lumpy sea thar the steamer Block Island did not attempt to make the trip to the isle in the ocean, after reaching Watch Hill. The Block Island passengers were landed there and among them were many who had planned for sev- eral days’ stay at the island. This was the first time during the present sea- son that the steamer has failed to make the regular daily trip to Block Island. There were high breakers at the bathing beach and hundreds en- joyed the surf bathing at the hill. ‘The dates for the annual competi- tions at the state rifle range have announced as follows by Charles W. Abbott, Jr., the adjutant general, Rhode Island National Guard: Tuesday, Sept. 2, competition for the adjutant gen- eral’s trophy; Thursday, Sept. 4, cham- pionship company team match; Tues- day, Sept. 9, revolver championship match and district trophy; Friday, Sept. 12, military rifle championship of Rhode Island. = Officers and enlisted men have been notified that the sea- son of small arms practice closes on Saturday, Sept. 13.

The recently elected Rhode Isiand state deputy of the Knights of Colum- bus, Joseph A. Carroll, announced his appointments of district deputies which includes Dr. John M. O'Connell of Westerly for the Fifth district. Congressmen Gerry and O'Shaugn- nessy attended the annual outing of the Providence Tilden club, at Duby’'s grove in Warwick, Sunday. Prospec- tive office holders and seekers were attracted to the outing by the congres- sional magnets. The Lowell team, of which Pete Clemens of Westerly is the brilliant star, is high hook at the New England Baseball league, with percentage of .600, but the position is not cinched. Portland and Worcester are close sec- onds at .592 each. The boards of trade of Rhode Island are assisting the congressional dele- gation to secure the preservation of the frigate Constellation, a relic of the war of 1812, at Newport. Effort is being made to have the full-rig- ged ship transferred to Baltimore. By reason of entertaining visiting fire companies there is doubt of tke Providence Veteran Firemen's asso- ciation participating in the state mus- ter to be held in Westerly, Sept. 10. On that day five companies from Schulkill and Reading, Pa., will be in Providence. By the substitution of an eight for a nine and thereby making the age of Stanton Clark 83 instead of 93, took the real essence from the news item regarding the four men still residents of Westerly who have been goters in the town for over sixty years and of the two other sprvivors of the voters of 1853, who reside in Pawcatuck. Judge John W. Sweeney has reduced the bail of Charles Acciardo, accused with assaulting with a dangerous wea- pon the conductor and motorman of an electric car at Riverside. Acciardo was held for the grand jury on four counts in bonds of $2,000 on each count. Af- ter a hearing, Judge Sweeney reduced the amount one-half on each count and fixed the bail at $1,000. The total of $4,000 gurety was furnished and Acci- ardo was released pending the session of the grand jury. STONINGTON Insurance Men Gather as Guests of Manager Harry H. Anderson—Local Firemen Going to West Haven. Saturday and Sunday a gathering of the special agents of the Mutual Bene- fit Life Insurance society in Connecti- cut was held at the Bungalow, the summer place of Harry H.

THERE'S A LOT OF REAL FUN IN CAMPING, Camp Goodenough ef Stonington Has Had Jolly Experiences in Past Few Years. returned from When it comes to camping, and camping of the genuine, thorough- going sort, with all connections, save the bread line, with everyday life and routine cast off, the members of Camp Goodenough at Stonington have the Tight idea, and they live it. Their tent, with a big red pennant fluttering before it, is pitched in the shade of a lonesome fir on the southeastern shore of Masons Island, Fishers Island Sound. Down there life seems sweet to them during their August vacations. That is, it does most of the time, There are other times—but scattered, of course. For instance, there s a nice inland fresh water pond on Masons Island, and it supports, partially, a flourising colony of mosquitoes, Only partially, for the inrects get the rest of their nourishmerit from the summer camp- ers.
