Atomic Bottles

From Gazette editions of September, 1959:

A belief that the bottles set adrift in large numbers by the Coast and Geodetic Survey and found by many persons on Vineyard beaches are involved in the plans of the Atomic Energy Commission to arrange for dumping of atomic waste at sea, is borne out by a statement of the AEC.

From an August, 1984 Gazette edition:

Walter D. Rheno, a decorated fighter pilot in World War I, was the Vineyard’s own. At a time when the United States had not yet entered the war, there were still stories of heroism about Americans who went to fight in France against the German invasion. Mr. Rheno joined the French Lafayette Esquadrille early in the year of 1917 and within a year returned a hero.
