RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

Whereas, The great and Supreme Ruler
of the Universe has in his infinite wisdom
removed from among us one of our wor-
thy and esteemed members, Chester L.
Howard; and whereas, the intimate reIa-
ton held with him in this organization
makes it eminently befitting that we re-
cord our appreciation of him; therefore,
be it,
Resolved, That the ability which he
has exercised in the aid of our organiza-
ton by service and duty will be held in
grateful remembrence;
Resolved, That the sudden removal of
such a life from among our midst leaves
a vacancy and a shadow that will be
deeply realized by all the members and
friends of this organization, and will
prove a serious loss.
Resolved, That with deep sympathy
with the bereaved relatives of the de-
ceased, we express our hope that even so
great a loss to US all may be overruled for
good by Him who doeth all things well;
Resolved, That copy of these resolu-
tions be spread upon the records of our
organization, copy printed in The Jour-
nal and copy forwarded to the bereaved

Those who are making scrap books, OF
covers, are asked to return them within
a week to Miss Annie " Field, or to COM
municate with her in regard to them.
The call for knitters is not meeting
with the response which it needs. There
are stockings, sweaters, and shawls to be
made, and yarn may be obtained at Me-
mortal hall on Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday afternoons, or by telephoning
Mrs. Ben Hazeltine, or Mrs James C.
Durham.
Those who contributed so generously
to the call for old clothing will be more
than gratified to know of the remarkable
success of the drive. Some 100 pounds
of strong, serviceable garments and shoes,
have been shipped. This far exceeded
the hopes of the committee in charge,
and will do something at least, towards
bringing warmth and comfort to the mil
lions of destitute ones, who, whether rich
or poor, are unable to obtain materia
from which to make clothing.
DR.. Livingston Farrand, Chairman o!
the Central Committee, A. r. c., re-
Gently made this statement as to the
possibilities of the future:
''The world knows that the Red Gross
has done great work, and done it mag.
niticently, In many ways it has been the
success Of the times. But, repeat, that
work faces into insignificance when COM
pared with the possibilities which lie
ahead in the future. Why is that? 1t is
simply because the war was fought te
make the world a filter place in which te
live. The problems of the past are car
ried over into the future and with this
magnificent spirit of service, which has
been aroused in the American people un-
der the stimulus of war, and which has
attached itself to the name and symbo
of the Red Cross, we see possibility OF
solving those problems which has never
before presented itself. 1t is your busi-
ness and my business to see that the pos
sbility is realized in SO far as it may be
humanity possible"

gram was carried out without break on
the part OF any performer No part could
be singled out as especially efficient as
each part was taken perfectly, and carried
out according to the rank of the character
in the play.
The story of the "H NJ S. Pinafore, "

that it was carried out to the letter in
each part is sufficient. There were local
features brought in at one point by Sir
Joseph Porter, X. G. B., King Turgeon)

utes to members of the high school
faculty.
He referred to Mr.. Stone, who never
smiles; Miss Cornforth and 'Aunt Jane, 5"

bers of the faculty though something
better than "B's' would be appreciated;
and 'last but not least, MIR. Pitcher, the
best teacher in Maine, and the one to
whom the members of the caste give
credit for the success of the evenings s
performance.
There were % young women and "a

visor of music, E. S. Pitcher, much credit
was voiced by the appTecative audience
