NORTH MANCHESTER - Liegh B. Freed, teacher of science in the city schools, has in the last few months developed into a song writer of more than local fame. Last January while driving along the road a thought came to him that he believed worthy of song. Himself a singer of considerable ability, it was not difficult for him to turn the thought into poetry and then set it to music. Others followed, and today he has four songs to his credit that are receiving favorable attention. He has published all of these songs in sheet music form. they are "Sweetheart O'Mine," "You," "I'm Waiting for You" and "When You Are Near."
