GLOUCESTER Snow fell again yesterday and added to the four feet on the streets. I Tot-withstanding the almost continuous fall the past 10 days the main thoroughfares have been kept open. The special motor plows of the 'Autobus which has th eexclusive passenger franchise, have worked day and night, with the result that the service has suffered little interruption, the streets of the Cape, through which the lines operate, being swept clear.

The drifts at Meetinghouse Green are 10 feet by the roadside. The motor plows of the bus company have constantly assaulted these and prevented the travel from the northern section of the city from being cut off. The motor plows of the city have, in consequence. been relieved of so much work and have given attention to other roads. The telephone and telegraph wire service has been unharmed.

I am ashamed of the young men of "'Newton Center," Bald Rev Fr Curtin, pastor of the Sacred Heart Church, at 10 oclock mass. "During the past year we have had 14 marriages in this parish and only one of the young men was a resident of Newton. The rest came -from Boston and outside cities.

The outsiders appreciate the beauty, charm and efficiency of our young women, but our- own young men are simply a disgrace. They dont seem to realize their own shortcomings and go outside the parish to pick their wives. The reason Is obvious. We know them here and possibly the young women do also. Still.

I think they are not past redemption. We will give them one more chance, and during this year I want to see them take advantage of their opportunity. I want to see 50 new homes started in this parish. After mass there were several impromptu meetings outside 'the church and several of the old 'wiseacres were pleased to note the young men 'escorting the young women home, the first time in many months. neighbors, friends from Hingham and other surrounding communities, together with little children, who, in Mr Beal, ever found a.

friend. Leavitt Beal was one of the last of the old-time residents of this district, where for the past generation he had conducted a grocery 'business, which had brought him in close contact with residents ot the South Shore. It is told that many a family might have gone without a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner but tor the generosity of Mr. Beal. His acts of charity in caring for needy families is known only to those befriended.

He never wished to be known as a benefactor. His fondness for children was well known. He was widower, ills wife, who before her marriage was Miss Martha P. Tower of Cohasset, dying, nearly eight years ago. They had five children, all of whom are living.
