4 NEW PLAN FOR ROAD
IMPROVEMENT
Discussions Going on Relative to Ask
ing the Town to Buy Auto Truck to
Be used by Road Commissioner.

There is serious discussion in Skow-
hegan relative to putting an article
into the town warrant at the annual
meeting to see if the town will pur-
chase an auto truck to be used by the
Road Commissioner through the sum
mer. The matter has been considered
and it is believed that the town would
save money by it and the commits
sioner could easily cover the roads
throughout the town and with small
crew of men see that all small defects
that would take but a short time to
fix each one, are repaired. 1t is now
impossible for the commissioner to
know by his own knowledge what the
conditions of all roads are.

RECEPTION GIVEN To
TEACHERS
w. {. 7. u. Gave The
Annual Event.
Fine Program And Every Body Had
A Good Refreshments of lee
Cream And Cake.

The Clementine Weston, w. c. T. L.
observed Teachers Evening in a
splendid manner at the First Baptist
church parlors Tuesday.
AS is the custom of the union they
gave the teachers of the schools and
the school board the annual receptio !
and everybody had good time. There
was good number of the teachers
present and the program presented
was greatly appreciated.
In the receiving line at o'clock
were, Mrs. Nettie Paddock, Mrs. S. W
Philbriek, and Miss Gertrude Weston
and following reception, a program
was given, consisting of readings, re-
marks and music. 1t opened with a
piano solo by Miss Annie Caswell, fol-
lowed by greetings by Mrs. Nettie PAD
dack, president of the union and the
response was given by R. w. Leighton
principal of the High school, who pre-
sented the teachers. Rev. j. G. Os-
borne, pastor of the church, spoke en-
tertainingly He stated that the teach
ers have higher ideals than any other
class of people. A piano duet then
came by Misses Mary Emery and Mil
dred Weston followed by remarks
from Rev. George Merriam. He said
that the influence of the school teach
er was greater than the Sunday School
teacher.
In introducing Rev. Theodore II
Wilson, the new pastor of the Congre-
gational church, Mrs. Paddock said
Il hope he is the Theodore" and the
Wilson" of the church. He spoke oi
the discouragements of the teacher ii
| that his or her work was never con
pleted which was unlike the sculptor
artist or carpenter.
One of the treats of the evening was
the solo of Mrs. Elizabeth Robinson
/ The sweetness of her voice charmed
all and she responded to several en-
cores and then came another feature
when H. Tobey Mooers gave a readin2
and responded to an encore. Refresh
ments of ice cream and cake were ser
we'd.

SOCIAL SURVEY Of
SKOWHEGAN
The Four Protestant
Churches at Work
4 House to House Canvass viii Be
Made.

With permanent headquarters in the
rooms of the Skowhegan Boys club on
Water street, the religious workers Of
the town will begin soon to make the
first social survey ever attempted IN
Somerset county or central Maine.
The work to be undertaken at this
time is in a way preliminary, and will
serve mainly as a basis for more eff
fectiye organization OF the religiously
inclined people of the town. The de-
tails of the plan are largely those
worked out by Rev. ]. G. Osborne Of
the First Baptist church. Since con-
ing to Skowhegan, Rev. Theodore t..
Wilson of the Congregational church
has gone over them with care, and in
the light of his previous extensive g.
perience, given them hearty indorse-
ment.
With the aid of Mr. Greenwood s
latest map, the town has been dividcl
into four districts. for apportionment
among the four Protestant churches.
The next step is a house to house can
yass in each of the districts. For
each family visited the canyasser will
record on a specially prepared blank,
/ the following information Head of
family; street and number; p O..
phone; occupation; nationality; wife's
pame; ages and names of children;
other members of family; names of
servants; members attending church,
members of church; members of Sun
day school; denomination; moral
standing of family; economic standing
of family; educational standing OF
family; social standing of family;
literary provisions; remarks.
This information as secured will be
typewriter upon card, and filed il
a special cabinet at headquarters, for
the common use of the church work
ers, and the public. The cards will
/ be indeXed by streets. and at the same
time the location and church prefer
ence of each family canyasse1 will
be indicated upon a specially mounted
series of maps by means of colored
head tacks This will make it easy
to summarize much of the information
obtained, by simply glancing at liz
map.
Rev. J. c. Os .one has beer de
voting his spare mo1n@l'a to this worb
for seycfs. veoks past, All has al
