An early 20th century item notes confusion over enforcing headlight laws as the Highway Commission reportedly lacks equipment for testing headlight legality. The piece references penalties for first offenses and cites W. M. McCollagy and a state department role, highlighting ongoing regulatory challenges. It weaves in unrelated biographical notes and social columns, including reminiscences about local families and a discussion of music and culture.

Town plans teach citizenship under state law in schools
The 1921 Town state law requires regular courses on the U.S. and Town constitutions in public and private schools. McClenahan recommends a graded program from seventh grade through high school, including a half year course in grade schools and full year civics and constitution studies in early high school, with progressively deeper instruction. Supporters argue this strengthens civic duty across communities and emphasizes the public school system as the medium.
