Cooners and Community Notes From Phippsburg Area
A chain gang crew at Bald Head shot 17 coots during a weeklong trip, with a second tally of 26 coots reported later. Ralph Merry and family returned from Small Point after a week there, totaling 72 coots for the Merry party. A sewing circle on the Phippsburg side, nicknamed the Squaw club, supports the local Braves team and hosts a Halloween party at Mrs. Winfield Morse’s home. Various residents recover from illness, visit relatives, or conduct local housekeeping and church events, while town officials address a dangerous sidewalk condition near Bridgeshall and plan a near-future clubhouse completion.
