tain officers of the department to Sc
cure invitations from several places
and thus to ignore Thatcher Post Of

of Bangor, especially, since the Bangor
City Council of Chamber of Com

and it can offer nothing in hospitality
that Bangor lacks-although for some,

WOman'S Association Plans
For 18th Jubilee Anniversary

No organization in Waterville has
proved to be of more value than the
Woman's Association 1t is in deed
and in purpose, Il church open all day,
every week day year in and year out.
1t has come up from small beginnings
and is yet small, but holds a large
place in the hearts and confidence of
the people of this town and the re-
sions beyond. Wise administration
has prevailed from the very outset,
and for economy and prudence with
out meanness. it stands alone.
The time is ripe for it to receive
gracious consideration at the hands of
Waterville citizens. 1t is not a money
making scheme. it is a pure philan-
thropy and hopes to come into a
larger. higher place, in accord with
its true work.
