The Importance of
 Small Things

Tt takes a hundred men to make pin"-yes, one of our ordinary, carelessly looked upon, little valued (except when needed) pins has re- quired in it's making the services of hundreds.
 First the mining of the metal in the ore, then the separation of the metal from the ore, the refining process, the forging, drawing into wire, cutting and shaping of heads and points, the polishing, finishing and packaging all calls for the ser vice of many hands-but-do not forget the tools and machinery which is employed in the several stages of the pin making, they also had to be made, as did also the boxes or papers into which the pins are packed or stuck for the market then the transportation, the handling and selling requires much added services-it is readily seen, therefore, where hundreds are en-. ployed in producing and marketing common pin.
 Nothing eXtraOrd1nary abOut InlS it is true, yet, it demonstrates the importance of the hundreds of little things that comprise the every day needs in every home.

(Bean) Hammons She was twice mar
ried; first to Gilman Hall and later to
Rufus X Patterson, both deceased. Mrs
Patterson found her greatest enjoyment
in her home and it's duties and was al
ways faithful to it's interests. She had
for many years provided home for Ver-
nard and Eva Hall. OF her own family
two sons survive, Leslie T. Hall of Wake
field, Mass, who with his wife had been

Inis has already been done too long for
the best interests of the city and we are
experiencing the inevitable result of the
same. 1t is believed the people will be
better satisfied in the end to carry the
city along IN fairly proper way with
safety from further Indebtedness, rather
than to merely get by or to run behind
The increase for schools is due to the
extent of S2133 this year to an average
increase of approximately 500 in the
salary of each teacher. 1t may be a
question as to whether this full increase
was wise this year, or should have been
extended over two years, but it was
recommended by the school committee
who are in closer touch with the pulse of
the school affairs, and the city govern
meht gave Difference to their judgment.
The increase applies to only 2-3 of the
present year. Starting as it does in
September the full increase as granted
Will obtain in 1920, which will call for a
little over 81, ZOO further additional for
that year. With the higher salaries for
our teachers and with the difference in
cost of living, Belfast should compare
favorably with other cities in the salaries
paid and the best results possible should
be expected from our school department.
1t will be further noted that the present
members of the city government are
among the heaviest tax payers of the
city and voted in accordance with their
best judgment as they would in handling
their own business, and for a tax rate
which would perhaps apply to them more
strenously than to majority Of the peo-
pie of the city.
Belfast should be much larger than it
is and one of the requisites to bring that
about certainly is to make it increasingly
attractive, not only to our local people
but to our summer visitors. If S1.50 can
be obtained in business for ST. 90 eXpend-
ed, it is good judgment to make the ex-
penditure; the same should apply to a
city.
The above analysis is given in full be-
cause we leve the tax payers of the
city should have full knowledge of all
the processes which enter into the decis-
ions of the City government.
On behalf of the city council,
c. w. WESCOTT, Mayor.
