He made the City Hall clock in New York and the clock in the chapel at West, Point, and many others. We attended school with his son and daughter. the late Ivan C Byram and Laura Byram. How about the guy, when told last winter to remove the snow from his front sidewalk, said, not by a dam sight, it will right in again. Let the person who put it there take it away. The same per- son is not stuck on pushing a lawn- mower, either. The approaching summer he expects to concrete around his property and paint it green. We don't kwovz what the old ‘people were thinking about when they deecled us so much yard room. Too much space for one pair of hands, and more land than we will ever use. Although the first World War started us gardening, we -were never cut out for a Luther Burbank, and would much rather be on the old bay.

And this gages too concerning Dorothy Quic‘k's column on prayer which should convince the most- bigoted atheist, especia in these days when we are living on the erlge of a crater or powder keg. We met a gentieman ‘E1185. other day who informed us that the large grey gulls that are here all year round nest and breed near Prom- ised Land along the Fire Place ter- ritery. This is news to us. We used to cruise around that section when young, but never ciiscsvered any of their nests. This is easily explained because at that time they did not live here‘? all year round. Fire Place is across from Gardiner‘s Island. A fire used to be started at this point as a signal to the Island. .Hence the name. Information Tel. Shelter Island 105 or 9% or 75-5 SOEJTH FERRY, Enc.
