al Sunshine Society cleared about $40
from the food sale which members of
the organization conducted Tuesday
afternoon in Municipal Building,
while in the evening, three act
comedy 1.-THE Dutch Detective" was
presented under their auspices direct
ed by Miss Gertrude Carter from

the theatrical roles were Robert Lyon,
Ray Kilgore. Wallace Billodeau, Maui
rice Bracket, Albert Butler. Miss
Thelma Brackett, Miss Margaret
Young Mrs Ora Vallier Miss Chastine
Kelley and Miss Airline F. Burnor.
Many of these young people have
been favorites in local amateur per-

others although new in this method
of entertaining, proved quite as sue
cessful. Miss Carter, too stepped
one step higher in profession of stage
coaching. OF equal interest to the
comedy parts were the speciality num-
bers, which included piano duet by
Misses Dorothy Day and Helen Mer-
riam; songs by Wallace Billodeau,

FAIRFIELD, ME-, APRIL 28-War-
rants were sworn out today for four
members of the body of strikers, but
before the men were removed to the
lookup, the officials thought best to
let them go free, as members of the
Colony signified their intentions of
interfering
Providing no arrests are made in
these cases or others until after Fri
day, the strikers will allow the EN-
ployes of the United Paper Board Co.
to unload cars which are now on the
tracks and on which the company is
paying demurrage and they will also
permit the company to take a carload
of pulp to the Benton Falls mill Fri
day morning. 1t Is understood that
some of the company's officials from
New York will arrive in town some
time Friday and tley will confer with
the State Board o. Arbitration. The
Polanders expressed themselves as
being unwilling to resume work at
$3.50 a day, and If they were taken
back under those conditions there
would be about 30 who would be
without jobs.
