AS mentioned before in this column
Skowhegan has the reputation, deserv-
ed or otherwise. of being undemon-
strative Dignity becomes commu-
nifty, we'll enough, but should not be
too rigidly adhered to. 1t Is not to
be desired that theatrical companies
and other entertainers take away with
them the idea that Skowhegan can not
show appreciation of really good
thing.
Something of the same thought
comes to mind with reference to the
communicates who are to be with us
June 25th 1t will be distinguished
company and brilliant event to wit
ness. We shall show our apprecia-
ton by lavish decorations and 1t will
be decidedly in good taste II, from
time to time, the marching host and
their bands are greeted, along the line
OF march, by applause, hearty enough
to indicate a genuine welcome.
