AROUND THE TOWN
(By T. B. C.) The writer aiM nothing much to do ontaidfl of werfcing hours these davs ID rwently. took a trip around the  &• lace to dear up some of the edges of thnigs not heretofore noted in tne lo¬ cal papers.
To begin with, we are asked what becoBMS of the soldiers and sailers wb«i there is such a shortage of bttp and wages are going up so. In our ¦ane balding is a harbor shop. Tfato. "boas" is looking forward to at toast two days vacation now for he Itts two . of those returned soldiers, working now, "Pete" White (the name Pete does not quite suit his continual good nature, but that is what the boys call him) and Leo Bille. By the war, they haTO both accepted invltationa for the Welcome Home dajr reception and thia and all other good barber shops will join the grocery and dry goods stores in Remaining closed all disy on that Big Day.	
Then while we started this item two of James Campion's men come in to fix up our big motor for us. (Jim was right on the job and loaned us one while he fixed ours.) We stepped out to chat with them and found our old friend Karl Brown back "on the job." He said ''Yes, it is getting like old times. 'Doug' is back, too." "And what about Curley ?" , Yes, he is back, too." Curley was on electrical work in the navy and both the Brown boys were in the Engineers who made such a reputation for themselves "Over There." .
Then dropping in the Freeport Bank you will find Morton C. Germond (recovered from his injuries and gass¬ ing at Chattencourt) and L. D. Cas- sins, the son of our old schoolmate, Louis Cassins, the son now residing with his grandfather, D. Wesley Pine, after having been mustered out of the Navy, and liking Freeport 80 well.
(Yes, there's our own George Hoff¬ man, too, back in our printing office, and worth d9llars more than when he went away.)    	
After remarking that none of these boys forced anyone else out, let us take another tack, and speak about roads a minute. We all were knocking about our roads this spring! Funny thing, isn't it? Ho^y \ye diJ howl! The street commissioner has worked under heavy handicaps with shortage of available help, but has put many of the streets in excellent condition and ia still at it, but do we wast^i our time telling him or the V'Mage Board v^hat a good job he has done. Not so you can notice it. _       1

Last Saturday evening we had an¬ other crowd from Camp Mills and Hazelhurst Field, about 200 in all. These boys came to us after a swim at the beach, and tbey surely were hun¬ gry, but wa had enough to feed them all, after skirmishing around for cake, not all wbo had been requested send¬ ing in their cake for the week.
On Sunday we had about 100 more, but thanks to a very generous contri¬ bution sent from Maier's Bakery on Sunday morning we took care of tbem in good shape.

And ftlorig tliat line, i have heard dozens Of applications of citizenmad by our Village Board of Trustees for fixing of roads, placing of new electric lamps, etc. But I have ^ever tired my arm noting how marty times the Board received a word of thanks for complying with these requests. Fun¬ ny world! 	
Part of this, tho, is ignorance rath¬ er than carelessness; Very few of our citizens know or realize that not one of our Village Board of Trustees gets even his gasoline bill paid when traveling around the village on tours of inspection and acting upon their re- auests. And not one in ten realize that there are over 80 miles of streeta in our little village.
And again speaking of streets. Have you l>een on Railroad Avenue since it was rebuilt with bitulithic? It is a valuable asset to the village and on your behalf we will pen this note of appreciation to Supwvirfir Hiram R. Smith, our fellow townsman, who is chairman of the County Board of Supervisors, and Village President Robert G. Anderson, who pushed thru this improvement and induced the Railroad Company to allow the wid¬ ening of the street from the depot west to Grove Street.
I am asked why the Railroad Com pany don't make improvements around the depot along the same line. Mwe about that next week.

The following letter is received from Private Bernard Gahet. That is the name by which "Bemie" \n knowr. in the army. He did not tell us the reason, but having received his sig¬ nature before, we can make one big guess as to how it happened. He has written his name Gobetz in a hurry and when it got old and sofnebody else read it they wrote it as they read it and put him down that way. It is a safe proposition, notwithstanding his pessimism, that Bemie will be oack before Christmas:
