CANNOT ABANDON NOR.
WAY & S. PARIS SERVICE

The Public Utilities Commission
has rendered a decision denying the
application Of the Oxford Electric Co.
tor authority to permanently discon-
tinue its street railway service be-
tween Norway and South Paris and
to sell or otherwise dispose Of its
franchises and prclerty used in con-
nection with the service.
Our reason for not requiring the
company to resume service was that
there did not seem to be any way in
which the necessary funds could be
at present secured say the COM
missioners in their decision.
Hence to then require or attempt
to require the company to rehabili-
tate its railroad would, in effect. be
requiring the impossible. The rea-
son for our present denial of the ap-
plication Of the company for author
ity to permanently abandon service
is that it does not follow because thu
company at the time of our earlier
decision, or now, was and is unable
to obtain funds to enable it to re-
sumo service. that the time will
never come when necessary funds
are available. or that because Of the
inability to produce money the COM
pany should be allowed to perma-
nentiy abandon service.
Nobody knows definitely what the
future holds for street railway COM
.panies. The present outlook may
well be said to be not entirely en-
couraging. Conditions in Norway and
South Paris may change so that the
present company will feel like volun-
tarily resuming service II condi-
tons do change this commission may
feel compelled to make an attempt ID
require resumption of service.
Under all the circumstances dis
closed we do not feel authorized II
permit the company to either perma-
nently abandon service or to dispose
OF such of its property and rights
as will permanently prevent it from
I resuming service"

Schools for Maine
This is not a sob story, it is not
sympathy which is needed but a
square deal, not simply a square
deal to the teacher but 10 the rising
generation. eventually to the Repub-
lic." declared DR.. Thomas.
We face a circumstance. not a
theory, a crisis in education, as
teaching Is a waning profession"
continued Dr.. Thomas.
Young people Of poise and pur-
pose are not entering our training
schools in large numbers. the call Of
other lines being much stronger than
the can Of the teaching profession.
Unless something is done to correct
the situation and to correct it soon
the foundation Of the Republic will
be shaken and free institutions will
be in danger. for the children Of to-
day must save America tomorrow.
The dangers ahead Of US are greater
than those which faced us prior to
the war. consequently better teaching
is necessary. Teachers equipped for
expert service are needed more than
ever today. Education is the surest
antidote for Bolshevism. Ignorance is
the basis Of superstitution. fear and
violence. Our schools must be kept
steady.

Beautiful! She was the spirit of
the fields Of June then and always.
I helped her ashore and held her in
my arms and, you know, the lips have
a way Of speaking then in the old, con-
vincing, final argument Of love. They
left no doubt in our hearts, my son.
"When do you wish to marry me?"

Sally.
"Surely there couldn't be a better

"Nor could there be a better day or
better company" I urged, for I was
not sure that she would agree.
The boats came along. Sally and /
waved a welcome from the bank and
she merrily proclaimed:

which I joined.
I shall never forget how, when the
company had landed and the greetings
were over, Uncle Peabody approached
your mother and said:
"Say, Sally, I'm goin' to plant a kiss
on both O. them red cheeks O. yours,
an do it deliberate. too"
He did it and so did Aunt Deel and
old Kate, and I think that, next to
your mother and me, they were the
bappiest people at the wedding.

hills-that Of the stranger who died

The play ends just as the night is
