Cummings Proposes Captain Dwyer for Town Council
A long petition endorsing Captain Thomas Dwyer as a council candidate prompts scrutiny by Council members and the president. The list, checked by Hammill and De Church and later Thurston and Simmons, appears central to the selection process amid political maneuvering over ownership of the document. An annual Harvest Festival at Odd Fellows Hall attracts about 150 attendees with Grand Master Tristan Mowry and a full program of addresses, music, and a banquet concluding the lodge event.
