BELFAST
Thrift Stamp Meeting Arouses
Interest-Joint X. of P. install

Allen l.. Curtis, a we'll known young
business man of Belfast, and Miss
Winnefred Norris, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. Henry Morris of Belmont ave-
nue., were married at els Thursday
morning at their new home on Con-
gress street. which the groom recent
ly purchased Of Archie c. Hopkins and
has furnished for his bride. Only the
parents of the bride were present to
witness the ceremony performed by
Rev. j. Wilbor Richardson of the Bap-
fist church, of which she is a mem
Der. The single ring service was read,
the bride being becomingly gowned
in white satin, with silver trimmings
and carrying brides roses. Immedi-
ately following the ceremony the new
lyweds left on the 7.o5 train for Bos-
ton and upon their return they will
go to housekeeping in their Congress
street home. For her going away gown
the bride had a smart brown satin
frock, with brown cloth coat and hat
Of the same shade. She is charming
girl an active worker III the Baptist
. church and has for some years had
charge of the groom's dry goods store
on Main street. Mr.. Curtis in addi-
ton to his dry goods business is the
proprietor of the City Bakery on
Church street. He is a prominent Ma
son and member of the Masonic Club.
The fuel situation is becoming a lit
tie grave in Belfast and with the ice
conditions. it looks as if relief via wat
er cannot be expected very soon. The
Consumers Fuel Co. has Barge No. 4
of the Sagadahoc Co. loaded in New
York harbor with something over 500
tons of hard coal, which if received
should tide the city over until the first
of April This however, it is inpos
sible to get at present. The SUNNY
on hand in the city is very limited.
1t is figured that there is enough soft
coal to keep the industries running a
few weeks at least. for many Ct them
use large quantity of electricity, gen
Grated by water power The local
dealers are now selling but zoo pounds
to customer and that only when the
customer is all out. The soft coal Is
delivered to the industries in small lots
also. At the Girls Home it is esti-
mated that&hey have only a few days
supply on hand and some wood. The
Home for Aged Women is more fortu-
nate and the matron. Mrs. Pease, be-
lieves with constant conservation and
the use of wood when possible she can
get along until the first of March. The
Waldo county hospital is said to have
few weeks supply. The schools are
still in session with limited supply.
While the city is more fortunate than
some places. the outlook is not at all
encouraging unless the ice embargo in
the bay and harbor is raised. No Or
ders will be taken for the cargo now
loaded in New York.

equitable regulations for the joint use
of American and Canadian ports nv

ing supplies and. il it were found de-
sirable in disposing of their catches.
William H. Brown of this city assert
ed that it was rare thing for an
American vessel to land it's fare at q
Canadian port and that IL Canadian
fishermen had the privilege OF landing
here prices would drop and the indus
try would be seriously injured.
Others mentioned the high cost Of
