Like the country at large, conditions
in Cabot have changed rapidly within
the past twelve months and still are
changing. Those things which satisfied
then are now being cast aside; the
things that enticed year ago are
now meeting with little approvali the
attractions of twelve months ago are
now almost Anticipated, when related
to present day conditions, needs and
demands. Indeed, this is a new day.
People are recognizing these changes ;
and as a consequence are having TO
change their modes and customs to
suit this new generation with all its
new demands, many of which have
either directly or indirectly come out
of the great world conflict. In great
measure are these changed conditions
and claims becoming evident in the
realms of amusement, education and
religion. Sensing some of htese con
ditions and realizing the new demands
that are being necessarily made upon
lis here in this rural New England
town, we are arousing ourselves and
preparing ourselves to meet these new
changes wherever and whenever posi-
BILE. Discussions have arisen as regard
the best plans for the future of ev-
erybody concerned. Out of these re-
cent discussions plans have been made
and programs adopted which il is
hoped will meet with the hearty APP
prevail and loyal response of all the
people in the town. As result OF
such plans, Rev. Mr.. Goddard has been
designated by an executive committee
TO announce these plans to the public
Briefly stated the plan is for a high
class type of entertainments, soeials,
lectures, etc, which in every respect
is to meet with the sincere endorse
ment of everybody. All such entertain
ments TO be presented to the public
free of charge wherever and whenever
possible, and at such intervals as
seem best TO the committee in charge.
The whole heated response by the
public is therefore solicited, and as the
plans grow and are revealed step by
step il is to be hoped that everyone
win grasp at this opportunity to put
Cabot on the map" in the way of
amusement, education. religion; as
well as in a civic and patriotic way.
II everybody will "boost" and Gift"
the load will be light, the journey
short, and the benefits beyond eompu-
tation. As fore-runner of the
proposed plan and program an illus
trated lecture is TO be given in the
Methodist church Sunday evening at
o'clock. This lecture is a remark
able adaptation of remarkable lee
ture by Professor Harry Ward of New
York and Philadelphia, and is illus
trated with 20 of the finest type of
pictures. The public is invited. Re
member the service Sunday morning
at l0:45 O'Clock. Strangers welcome.
