For the old Erie Station in Court Street, its Imported brick shrouded in the dust of years and its interior dingy and long deserted, is being torn down. The key was turned in the lock of the station Sept.

30, 1941 after the last passenger train pulled out of the Rochester-Avon run. And the building, once the center of happy throngs headed for excursions in the valley, was abandoned to its memories.

Then came the World War, the automobile and good roads combined to compete with the railroad passenger lines.

S. Attorney Good man A. saracnan saia mat scores of complaints against illegal tire sales in Rochester have been re ceived and cases will be presented to the Federal Grand Jury convening Jt'ly 14 in Jamestown. Sarachn spoke after Deputy U. S.

Marshal Nelson Boehler arrested Charles D. Becraft, 40, Corning, on charges of selling tires last February in excess of the price ceiling, and of selling them without a permit from the ration board. Specifically, Becraft was charged with vio'-ating Section 205 of the Price Control Act. 1 First Case of Kind In thw first case of its kind in the Western New York District, Boehler said Becraft was accused of selling two tires for $67. Sara-chan said the price ceiling is $16.60 a tire.

Becraft, who operates the Becraft Tire Store in Corning was released in $5,000 bond, when arranged oefore U. S. Commissioner Claude C. Stowell of Corning, for appearance in Federal Court in Jamestown. He was indicted by the Federal Grand Jury which, arose Friday.

Sarachan warned that action against persons reportedly selling tires illegally in Rochester will follow roon. Other Cases Seen "We expect to present soon similar violations against Rochester individuals to the Federal Grand Jury," Sarachan said. "Sooner or later, we are going to catch up with those boys who think now they are getting away with something." Complaints against tire bootlegging are being investigated by the Offlce of Price Administration, Sarachan said. New York headquarters of that unit is swamped with protests, he added. "The OPA is setting up an office in Rochester, with a staff of investigators.

When that is established, there will not be the delay in handling cases now evident."

I told her the last thing in the world I was interested in was jitterbug steps, me lyins there agonizing with a tooth Doc Galbraith said was choked up with pulp stones, cutting off the flow of blood, or something. But ehe said, pretty scornfully, that the "Fireman's Drag" wasn't a jitterbug step, or anything that Fred Astaire had created, but a method of getting a person out of a burning building by pulling the person along on the floor, the rescuer crawling above the victim. I listened to all of this while the mulligatawny soup got cold, and the ache came back, tenfold, to my tooth.

"Oh-o-o," I cried out, back on me again. It' buzzing now, besides stabbing. Look in that book and see if there ain't isn't a prescription for relief." She wouldn't do it, so I took the book myself and turned through the index. Sure enough, there were five short paragraphs on toothache, page 221. They gave me no comlort.

In one place it said heat sometimes gives relief; in another it told that cold was sometimes effective. "Previous to trying," the book said, "no one can say which treatment will be the most helpful." I tried 'em both; both failed. It was 7:30 o'clock at night. I told the lady I was going to get that tooth out if I had to knock it out with a sledge. Instead, I got a young fellow to drive me uptown, and we went over to Dr.

Clint LaSalle's. I've known Doc since he ued to be a motorcycle rider. "Open," Doc says, and gave me a shot Oi novocain. While he was waiting for it to take effect he told me about the double-century runs he used to make on his twin-cylinder Indian. "Open again," he said, and gave me another shot.

"Any teeling?" he after a minute. "Doc," I said, "this won't lay me up more'n a week, will it?" "No," he said, sort of grinning, "I guess you can be out and around in a couple of days. Now just sit tight and hold on until you see the brass ring come around. That means a free ride I closed my eyes, when he picked up his tool, which looked, to my feverish and distorted eyes, big as a tire wrench. "Pitch till you win, Doc," I muttered, and opened.

I felt a little twitch, and by gosh, he had the tooth! "I tell you," Doc was saying, "that twin-cylinder Indian was some I didn't wait to hear any more. I went home and went to bed, and the lady gave me an aspirin. $2,500 Ends Suit In Death of Boy Killed by Train Damage claim against the New York Central Railroad over death of 17-year-old Arthur Eggleston, Brockport High School pupil, was settled yesterday for $2,500.

The lady came in and told me dinner was ready. "Why aren't you washed?" she asked.

"Dinner is ready." "Oh-o-o," I moaned again. "Your back troubling you?" "No-o-o," I groaned. "Well, get up and wash," she aid. "TISTEN," I said. "I can have other pains beside a backache.

I haven't had my lumbago In years, anyway. And if I did, what could you do? You haven't learned how to treat lumbago, and there's probably a priority on horse liniment and red flannel." "Will you please get up and wash?" she said. "My woman," I said. "I'm suffering." "Don't think I'm not," she said. "I've suffered all day.

"Does it ache?" "What do you think I'm lying here holding it for?" I demanded. "It's like little knives going through me. It's killing me. It's it's excruciating!" "Do you think you can find a cure for it In that book?" she asked, indicating the First Aid Manual.

"I don't know. I just picked the book up without thinking. If the book is any good for general suffering, it oughta have something about a toothache in It." "If you have a little of the nice mulligatawny soup I've made it would probably make you feel better." "Mulligatawny soup, in my condition?

I Just say when the pain comes on hard." Then I said, "Oh-o-o," not imitatively, but genuinely, as a terrific belt shot up through my cheek, clean into my antrum. "Oh-o-o," I moaned again, and tossed the book on the glass-topped stand. "You been studying that book for weeks. What good 5s that book? It's taught you how to cure snake-bite, but you don't know anything more about a sore tooth than to say 'take an I tell you a tooth like I got is a major suffering. Oh-o-o! What pain! What suffering! How long have I got to endure this?" "The book naturally wouldn't tell about a little thing like a toothache," she said.

"The book is about emergency treatments during the war. The pain had a way of coming and going, like the beat and recession of waves on a coast. When the beat was up, the pain was terrific, almost beyond endurance; when the recession set in there were moments when I was almost normal. During one of these I asked her what good her training had been, anyway, knowing that she had been going to Red Cross lessons for weeks, without missing one or being kept after school; knowing that she knew all about pressure points and sterile dressing and what the femoral was and how to make a tourniquet out of a good $2 necktie. She knew the difference between the stomAch and the diaphragm, and how many yards of intestine were inside the ordinnry person, grown to adult age, and unex-ciaed by a Mayo scalpel.
