WHY NOT A LAWN
The example set by the teachers Of the
grammar school In Knightville, who are
making Iaudable efforts to improve the
grounds about the school house, might
well be followed by the managers Of the
Masonic building. which Is located near
by. Certainly 1t would improve the ap-
pearance Of things, and involve no great
expense. If the unsightiy, gravelly patch
es Of ground In front of the building were
converted into q lawn. Again, it would
add to the comfort OF our city officials
and other tenants ON the lower story II
this sun-drawing heat, collecting mess of
dirt, etc., should be covered with carpet
of grass. Why not do itf
Twice have the citizens Of Knightville
contributed to buy flags for the Knight
vile school house, and two flags, the old
one and a new one, were slowed away in
the house on Memorial Day, while the
polk. on the roof was naked all day long.
The veterans, whose place of assembly on
that day Is In the very shadow Of that
schoolhouse, were not wholly compliment
tary in their illusions to officials who
suffered that state Of things to exist.
The North Congregational church
people are just putting down q new car
pet. This Is the church where the South
Portland veterans assemble each year for
their Memorial Day exercises, and no
doubt they have contributed no little to
the wear and tear of the old one. and
they regret that they We're not asked to
help provide for the new one. Every vet
eran in our city appreciates the privilege
Of the use of this ancient sanctuary for
the purpose mentioned, and at their next
official meeting they will not fail to give
proper expression to their sense Of obliga-
ton.
Citizens of this city usually take OF
their double windows Fast DAY. Some
few postpone the work until Arbor Day.
But as showing how late winter has lin
gered in springs lap this year, some Of
our citizens are just removing their
outside wind ow sashes.
Prof. and Mrs. Carl Hamm Of New
York city have arrived at their summer
home ut Knightville. Mrs Hamm Is a
native of Maine and for a number Of years
past has spent the summer months at
Knightyille at which place she owns a
number of houses.
