Dear Aunt Mddqe and Sisters:
don't know whether belong to the Bs. or
the SIS. but send my greeting to you all and
want you to know that your dear helpful
letters in the column and the occasional pe--
sonal letters and cards make bright and
pleasant spot in my life am glad Of the
bond of sympathy and kindness that helps us
to help each other.
How l should like to know the name and
address Of each one. think ii makes the tie
seem closer when we know each others names
and addresses. We that have met at the re-
unions have the happy privilege of having .
list, but there are many others who cannot
meet with us whose letters and quotations
help and cheer, and we often wish we knew
who they really are and where they live. !
think it grand plan to report ourselves when
our initial letter is called. and want to get in
with the rest of you just where Aunt Madge
thinks belong. With good wishes TO all
SISTER B,
We shall count you in twice, once with
the BIS. and once with the S., and we shall
be glad to hear from you and all others OF
the family "between times.

The invincible Taconnett baseball
club of Winslow, composed of the en-
ployes of the i1ollingsworth IL Whitney
PAPER Co. would surely have met de-
feat at the hands of the strengthened
Cobbossee Inn team Wednesday on
Colby alumni diamond, but for the
many errors in judgment that the APP
parent ignorance of rules on the part
of the umpire, George Lashus, himself
a member of the Taconnet Club, was
responsible for.
Many clearly poor decisions were
overlooked i'm the earlier stages of the
game, but the real cause for protest
came in the eighth inning. Eastman
singled and Shepard came to the bat.
The plav was for Eastman to go sec
ond on Shepard's hit. AS Herd wound

sack After making deliberate motions

hall first and Eastman was declared
out.
