Community Club For Young
Men of Teen Age

One of the great needs of Skowhe-
gan at the present time is some place
of amusement for its young men. A
Community Club has been suggested
as an organization which would be
we'll adapted to the needs Of the flu
ture citizens who are now in their teen
ages. The several local churches
were represented at the Boys Con-
ference in Lewiston by twenty-three
young men and the great interest
manifested by them in their desire to
attend this get-together is worthy of
attention from the townspeope in the
way of financial support in starting
the ball rolling for suitable headquar-
ters and entertainment right here at
home. AY. M. C. A. organization is
a desirable adjunct to every com
munity, but the founding of COM
munity club or similar organization
would be a good beginning in that di
rection.

THURSDAY, MARCH Is, 1920
Town Meeting an Unusual
One
A Weekly Newspaper
Published Every Thursday at
skowhegan, Maine.

Our annual town meeting last Mon
day is past and gone but the results
derived therefrom will be more far
reaching than those from any town
meeting in recent years. Skowhegan
has fallen in line with other towns
and cities of Maine in the great move
ment for better roads and increased
appropriations for teachers salaries.
Probably no town in the state and but
few If any OF the cities have this year
voted to raise for their highways a
sum Of money equal to that raised by
our citizens which totals, with the
5000 bond issue for rebuilding and
the $4,000 for repairs, the sum of
$4,000 for highway improvement
alone. This indeed was a vote in
the right direction and one from
which untold benefits will be derived
removing at the same time the one
blot on the fair landscape of our COM
munity. The school appropriations
were raised to $4,000 which is $4,000
more than last year and which takes
care of the higher wage problem for
the school teachers. The raising of
the salary of our first selectman to
500 month might well be reckoned
with the unusual features of the 1920
meeting as well as the appointment
of a road commissioner whose sal
airy will total $500 for the year.
Capable and efficient men are needed,
however, to cope with big situations,
and judging from past records, Show
hogan citizens made no mistake in
over and above all these happenings
there is the evident fact that last
Monday Skowhegan probably held its
last big town meeting, as before the
March meeting next year, the women
will have gained voting privileges and
this will in all probability mean re-
districting from the present system of
handling municipal affairs. While
we hardly wish to state that order
is not a usual feature of our town
meetings, the courteous manner Of the
great delegation Of men from all
classes was noticeably orderly and
was commented upon by Moderator
Walton, the splendid partiamentarian
who presided over the activities of
the day The entire amount Of money
