Lynde was born in Vermont but came

medical writer of excellent standing
and a poet of considerable merit.
Few localities offer more interest
ing considerations to the geologist,
than the town of Norridgewock and
its environs. Most of the soil on the
Kennebec is alluvial, but the high
lands are mostly primitive. There
are no precipices andlofty mountains
now to show the primeval work of
creation, but the geologist can plainly
see that they once were here. for the
landscape far around declares, that on
it rocks have been rent asunder, bar
riers of tremendous waters broken
thru, and mountains not only uplifted
from the deep, but overturned, and
their fragments scattered like chaff
before the wind. There is geological
evidence that Dodlean Hill and Bare

PACKER ADDRESSED THE
CLUB AT WATERS HOME

The Fellowship club met at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. H. C. Waters
last Tuesday evening. The music
was furnished by Miss Margaret Hall,
Blaine Warner and Professor Gott-
heimer. Every number was thorough
ly enjoyed. Lowell Packer the "Ford
Booster" was the speaker of the eve
ming, taking for his subject "The In
dustriaf side of the Ford Factory"
Mr.. Packer is a splendid speaker, and
thoroughly versed in all matters per-
tanning to the manufacture of the
Ford Automobile. The address was
revelation to those who had never
visited the huge plant in Detroit and
not conversant with Mr.. Ford's
methods and the great work he is
doing. Members of the Fellowship
club are indeed grateful to Mr.. Packer
for his elucidation of this great prob
lem.
