Notes of the Week
Since any matter under this heading has appeared in our columns our little town has been honoured with an up-to-date postage stamp machine.
It is a convenient addition, and is, we believe, used by a large number who previously have made a habit of calling on neighbours for stamps on Sunday evenings.

The Electric Light Standards have been erected in our district in a very short while, and it is expected that before Christmas the current will be passing through the miles of cable now being fixed.
There does not, however, appear to be any chance of a supply for the town this year, as a transforming station will have to be built near the town.

Another motor accident has occurred at the Harestreet road Corner. The alterations to the bridge do not appear to have had the desired effect, the trouble being due to the fact that the Harestreet road traffic cannot be seen by motorists coming from the town until they reach the crown of the bridge.
The vast majority of motorists appear to be afflicted with a superstitious dread of carrying the simplest requisites and remedies that might be useful should a mishap occur.
Perhaps it is thought that a "medical" case will invite a catastrophe, much as some men and women imagine that the making of a will may hasten his or her death.
A few bandages, some iodine and sticking plaster do not take up much room.
