The young doctor with downtown
patients had fair practice and the
old doctor good one, but as neither
needed downtown office all the
time the father suggested that they
should pool issues and rent one be-
tween them. The young man agreed
it was good thing for him, he
thought-and hurried off to have a
suitable sign painted. When de-
livered it read like this:
DIR. T. S. White,
Office hours, 10 A. M. to l P. M.
DIR. N. White,
Office hours, 1 P. M. to 4 P. M.
The old man looked it over and
shook his head.

you haven't that business instinct
that has made your old daddy so sue
cessful. You may be a good doctor,
but when it comes to signs, keep your
ey on the old man."
Then he put this sign under his
arm and walked out. An hour later
he came back with this:
DR.. White,
Office hours,
10 A. M. to P. M.
There you are" he said proudly
Now we catch your patiens or mine,
no matter what hour they come. No
use putting sign up that will steer
the patients of either of us away,
when the other is sitting inside wait
ing to tinker them up. Medicine is
one thing, my boy, and business is
another. This is business"
Then the old man tackled the sign
up on the door and caught one of the
young mans patients first thing.

We HAYS often wondered how many
OF you summer residents, and winter
residents, as we'll, realize that you
nave certain duties to perform to
Casco Bay, to the island on which you
live, to the rest of us other residents.
Too many people seem to think that
once having left the streets of their
home town they leave behind them
all civic obligations and are free to
do as they please. They don't seem
to be able to grasp the idea that any
island in this bay is a community that
demands as much from its members
as any city. Why do you at home
have the front steps washed, the
pavement swept off, the grass on the
front lawn kept looking green and
fresh? Because you feel that YOU
owe 1t to other people to make your
mouse and grounds a beauty-spot in
stead Of an eye-sore and, moreover,
feel a certain pride in keeping up your
property Why. then, do so many of
you leave that feeling of obligation
and of pride at home? Why, do you
allow the grass to grow at it's own
tree will around your piazza instead
OF moving it every now and then?
Why do you throw your garbage over
the cliffs, when you know that a part
Oh II is sure to catch on the upper
part of the rock and remain there in
all Its unloveliness? Why don't you
plant a few flower beds around your
cottage so as to add that little touch
OF color that so often is all that is
needed to make very ordinary house
seem wonderfully beautiful? WHY
do you throw newspapers, paper hssccs,
a2a- -sa< fort h-onG- the .-Tptai roads {?
Why, to Ssum it up, don't you 10 your
share I'M making of Casco Bay the
place of beauty for which it was de-
signed by old Mother Nature? Think
it over.
