APPEAL IN EMERGENCY

The Unitarian church was filled sunday
afternoon with an audience gathered to
listen to an address by DR.. Donald b.
Cragin, who was at the head of the unls
which went from Waterville to Hahrax

badge of his service in Halifax, which
was a white band on which was inscribed
Maine L. S A. Relief" gave a most in
teresting talk on the work of his unit in
Halifax Tile preparation for the trip
showed a precision of detail that was
wonderful. The work of the unit in get
ting established was told very clearly
and the description of the demolished
portion of the city was most graphically
given.
DR.. Cragin said that the destruction
near the waterfront was absolutely inde-
SC Crbable. He told of some of the freaks
o. the explosion, both in it's treatment o.
human beings and buildings. DR.. Cragin
then told the purpose of the meeting. The

tages of Waterville to carry on a big re-
lief hospital in the city, and cited the To-
cation of Colby College as a place for
emergency hospital work. DR.. Cragin

work which he had drawn up, the per-
sCnnel of the staff and the equipment He
said that the scheme met with the APP
proval of the Governor of the State ana
asked for the moral support of the peo-
pie of the city He paid great tribute to
the members of his unit who went to Hal
flax with him and closed with all express
sion of hope that future citizens of Wa
