2. This day in Melrose history: Aug. 7, 1942 - Two automobiles were “lassoed” when a six by 24 foot cloth target being towed by an Army plane accidentally cut loose and landed on the roof of Wyoming Pharmacy at Wyoming Ave. and Cleveland St. The rope - nearly a mile long - landed nearby and wrapped itself around two vehicles as it fell. The cars escaped damage, according to press reports.
