THE ASSOCIATED
CHARITIES MEETING
THIS AFTERNOON

Much interest is being taken in the
Associated Charities meeting which is
to be held in the Office OF the secretary
at o'clock Wednesday afternoon. 1t
has long been recognized that there
was need for the getting together of
the people OF the city who are giving
10 the poor and needy, but the thing
that has been needed was someone to
take Charge of the matter. to organize
and make effective the giving which
has been being done without anything
like the good results that the amount
Of money and clothing distributed
should give. Such g head has arpar-
emily been found in Miss Gladys Cay
lord, the recently elected secretary and
executive officer of the Associated
Charities. Miss Gaylord is young
woman who is thoroughly wrapped up
in her work 2ad one that has already
accomplished a vast amount Of good
in the city.
The meeting Wednesday will be for
the purpose Of bringing the various
2ivers Of the city more closely in touch
with conditions here and getting the
work in shape for the winter. But
superficial examination disclosed that
there is n great deal of hardship ard
suffering in this city and nearby towns.
In almost every instance it is found
that the suffering is among worthy
people, who have been brought TO that
condition through no fault Of their
own. In many cases the husband and
father is dead or sick and the wife is
trying to keep the family together ard
struggling along as best she can
against desperate odds. 70
II is to give more aid to this class Of
people and less aid = the class that
docs ont intend to help itself by means
Of organized charity in the hands Of
trained people. that this get-together
meeting is planned

FOR the W0MhN'S
REFORMAT0RY

A prominent business man in the city
was asking people Tuesday what Water

mans reformatory 10 TINS city. lie
pointed out that this was the ideal place
in the State for such an institution. l.
was possible to come to Waterviile from
practically every city in Maine without
changing cars. There was everything
here that vas needed for the establish
ment of such an institution, and he point
ed out several sites that would be ideai
one in particular, the fiat near the old
trotting park on upper Main street, be-
ing just what the trustees claim they are
looking for. IF it is not too late row,
it seems as though the Waterville Cham
Der of Commerce ought to get busy with
this thing ard try to bring it 10 the one
place in the State where it should be es-
tablished said this man, and he added
IF location ard desirability and the bese
interests of the State settle where il il TO
be. Waterville will get it without any
solicitation; but l fear that other thing
will enter into it as they usually do

The Afternoon express trains were
held up Tuesday afternoon by a
freight wreck at the west end Of the
bridge over the kcrnebec between this;
city and Benton. As train No. 4s was
pulling into the freight yards a car
left the iron and a little further back
another went off. The most of the train
was out on the bridge and it was ne
ccssary to stop the eastbound express
in the yards. The train from Bangor
pulled down and hooked onto the rear
end Of the freight and hauled the
most Of it back so that an engine could
be coupled on from the front and then
the train was hauled safely into the
yards and the line cleared. The train
going east was delayed about 45 min
utes and the one going west about %.
The cars were injured very little, and
there was only a small section of track
torn up. No one was injured. 1t was
extremely cold work for the wreck
ing crew but they went at it with a
rush and had the cars back on the
rails III quicl. time.

day for the merchants and in spite CT the
fact that the day was one of the oldest

and the local people turned out in good

PICK THE PROPER
PLACE FOR SKATING

The skating on the river is proving to
he first class, the ice back of the COL
lege is thick and in good shape for the
sport and perfectly safe. but further
down the boy or girl who ventures on
the ice is taking chances. There is room
for everyone behind the college and the
people Of the city are hoping that the
boys and girls of the city who wish to
skate will confine themselves to this
place that there may not be any drown
ing accidents In the city this season. The
few people in the city who own ice boats
are anxiously awaiting word from Snow
and China ponds that the ice in those
ponds is safe so that they can get their
craft in commission. If the cold continues
without more snow the ponds will be in
frst class condition within a few days.
