Forest E. CottrelI, formerly of this city,
was elected as member of the Board of
the Commo1 Council in Rockland at the
recent election. Another Belfast man, E.

publlcans carrying that ward.
| Through an error the name of Truman
Roberts did not appear in the list of the
CHORUS In the number of reports of the
Company F. minstrel show. Mr.. Roberts
Was very punctual attendant on the
snow and rehearsals and one of the best
men in the chorus.
Mrs. Robert F. Russ, who with Mr.,
kuss is spending the winter in St Cloud,
fla, writes that they are very pleasant
situated and enjoying delightful weather.
All the shrubs and garden flowers are in
bloom and the only time fire has been
needed was IN the early part of January
when the thermometer ran a little low
for Florida.
| The effort made to repeal the order al
lowing the hour on the daylight saving
plan did not materialize in Washington
the past week and in Maine, at least, that
extra hour will be used to good advant-
age in labor or in recreation. The time
pieces will be changed the last Sunday in
I March, and as in the spring of 1918 early
rising will not be noticed after the first
few mornings.
Frank E. OLeary has returned to his
home in Bangor after spending several
weeks in Belfast, where he was engaged
In coaching and staging the minstrel show
under the auspices of Company f, of the
Third Maine Infantry. The Company
plan to have another attraction some
time previous to going into camp next
August and have been fortunate in en-
gaging Mr.. O'Leary as their coach.
general alarm was sounded at l015
a. m. Saturday for a fire in the roof of
the tenement house on Federal street &C
cupied by the Grotton family. 1t burned
through a section Of the roof but was put
out with buckets Of water by men nearby
before the engine and hose carriage ar
rived, which was in a very few minutes.
The building is near the Belfast Farmers
Union store, which carries very large
stock of goods,
The only ice storm for the winter ar
rived lastW ednesday night, when every
drop of rain that fell became a crystal on
tree, shrub, pole, etc, and formed thin
coating of ice on the sidewalks and even
in the Streets making walking in the
early hours of Thursday morning very
dangerous proposition. No accidents
were reported and when the bright
morning sun was shining through the
branches they ghstened as if sprinkled
with diamonds.
The question heard here, there and
everywhere since last Wednesday noon
has been, "did you see the launching|'
When the answer has been in the mega
tive it has invariably been followed with
attaching the blame on someone. In
many instances this has been amusing to
say the least, for no individual can justly
be blamed as the parties most concerned
were the most surprised. The Jennie
Flood Kreger saw her opportune time and
slid into the water without accident of
injury. Keep smiling" and be on hand
next time.
