New York Meeting June 8

The Maine State Highway Commits
sion has received an invitation to attend
a meeting Of highway officials. manu-
facturers and contractors which will be
held at the headquarters of the Auto
mobile Club of America at New YORK
Friday afternoon, June s, to discuss the
highway situation.
The invitation reads as follows
Every highway official and every
manufacturer Of road and paving ma
chinery, materials and equipment, Ike
wise every highway contractor, is vi
tally interested in having the work OF
construction and maintenance go on
without interruption regardless Of the
war.
Official reports from the several
states indicates that while in only a
few cases is the war expected to have
any considerable adverse effect upon
the work, there does seem to be ten
dency in some quarters to limit the
work Of construction. The latter
seems to be due to the economy propa-
ganda which has been carried on and
to the shortage of labor, lack of trans
portation facilities, etc.

Some of the birds of the fields and
forests occasionally find their way in
to the thickly settled parts Of the city,
but there are others which do not.
among the latter the whippoorwill.
That this bird does sometimes how
ever break away from his custom and
come close to the habitations of man
is shown by the fact that for the past
two nights the whippoorwill's call has
been heard in the gully just south of
Court hill, in front Of the Maine Cen
trail passenger station. At the time
that the birds calls were heard every
thing was darkness and of course he
could not be seen, but there is no
mistaking the wh;ppoorwill's call if
one has ever heard it.
