SAVING LIVES

Editors, Vineyard Gazette:

From the Vineyard Gazette editions of September, 1933:

The Joy of Voting

Compromise at Bradley Square

The neighborhood looks tired and a little run down. The old church is boarded up and empty, while a sagging cottage across the street has a For Sale sign in front.

This is the setting for Bradley Square, a proposed development project that envisions affordable apartments and housing for artists on Masonic avenue in Oak Bluffs.

Striped Bass: Taking Stock

Narrow Escape

From the Vineyard Gazette editions of September, 1958:

A Navy all-weather attack bomber making an emergency landing at the Martha’s Vineyard Airport figured in what might have been a serious accident, but the skill of the pilot from the Quonset Point Naval Air Station saved the situation completely. The bomber was brought to a landing because of a rough running engine. On contact with the runway, it blew the left tire and veered erratically down the runway with smoke trailing out behind.
