DIXFIELD — Arrangements have been made so that on mornings when the weather is so severe that attendance at school will endanger the health of the pupils, a no-school signal will be blown. This signal will be blown by the whistle at the Forster Estate tooth-pick mill and will consist of three short blasts, repeated three times. It will be blown only in the forenoon. There will be school in the afternoon unless the weather continues to be extremely bad.
