Bristol History Notes War Times and Local Events
A collage of 1942 and earlier Bristol items notes Kearney Legion recognition for Americanism, Marine Tony Cruz Almeida killed in the South Pacific, local teachers entering service, severe winter weather, Christmas packages to servicemen, and 1932 to 1922 items on schools, public aid, and community rescues. It recounts ads, theater listings, and a basketball loss to South Kingstown.
