A TRIBUTE TO Mr. RAMSDELL. AS
the season is very near its close at The
Booth Fisheries Co, of Belfast, we, the
employees under John c. Ramsdell, over
seer, wish to pay parting tribute to him.
A man who is highly esteemed by all and
hope when another season opens Mr.
Ramsdell will be prevailed upon to take
up the same position and the same room
as in the past. Mr. Ramsdell has won
many friends in and outside of the facto-
ry, always has a gentle word and gra-
cious smile for those under him, being
very choice in his remarks, using no pro-
fame expressions or vulgarity. We think
the Booth Fisheries Co. would be very
fortunate in retaining him for another
year.
The Boy Scouts held one of their liveli-
est meetings of the season last Tuesday
evening with good attendance and a
varied program. One name was present
ed for membership and referred to the
committee. Rev, Arthur Z. Wilson of
the First Unitarian church talked to the
boys on the subject of Bird Life giving
personal experiences which were most
interesting Following his address there
was a short talk by Mr.. Young, who has
been around the world in the United
States Navy and who interested the boys
in some experiences and then gave drill
in the exercises on board man-o-war
Mr.. Young will be present at the next
meeting and will give further drills in
this direction
