City Dump Menace Sparks Resident Discomfort
Residents near the City Dump endure rats smoke and fires that invade homes and gardens. Reports describe tunnels in gardens and nightly rat incursions, with efforts to repel pests costly and limited by lack of funds for an incinerator. City officials pursue federal aid while residents rely on poisons and traps as the nuisance persists. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Hill and daughter Patricia passed last week in Lynn, Mass.

Bath to be honored with new U.S. Navy frigate
Bath, Maine, a historic shipbuilding center on the Kennebec, is slated to have a new twin-screw frigate named in its honor. The Milwaukee yard is constructing the vessel, sister to the Knoxville, with Bath likely supplying a sponsor from its storied shipping lineage. The program expands U S Navy frigates to counter undersea threats, with ships larger than British corvettes and designed for North Atlantic service.
