GOOD WILL NOTES

1t had been hoped that tho strict
quarantine which has been in effect
at Good Will for some four weeks
could be lifted on Monday Of this
week, but upon the advice of one Of
the leading physicians of Waterville,
the supervisor has decided to con-
tinue the restrictions for an indefi-
mite period Up to this time not a
case of influenza has appeared at
Good Will. which is proof conclusive
that a quarantine can be made eff
fective.
Thursday Of last week was a holt
day, the annual Forestry Day in the
Good Will schools, the boys in groups
of fifteen, making ten groups. each
under the leadership of a Good Will
worker or teacher, started from Pres
colt Memorial building about s
o'clock in the morning and went to
the woods adjoining the "Bowdoin
Trail" so-calle1. Each group was al
lotted a certain section by Super
visor G. W. HincHey. underbrush TO
be cut and burned and dead trees
and various others to be cut for fuel.
At the noon hour all assembled near
the Tenterden Tablets at the end of
the trail and had a picnic dinner.
which was greatly enjoyed by all.
AS a result quite number of cords
of wood were added to the Good VIII
fuel pile.
The many friends of Donald Berry,
Good Will High school 1918. and the
president of his class, we're saddened
to hear of his death recently in South
Portland. as victim of influenza.
This is the second death in the class
of 1918. the other being Albert Chess
man in January last, and both from
the same cause pneumonia. :
