Paris School News Item.

Few people realize, from the occs-
sional small news items regarding this
or that school In the town, how much
has been accomplished by the Improve
ment Leagues in the schools. 1t will be
remembered that there was an article
10 the warrant last year to see II the
town would raise $4,000 to help these
Improvement Leagues that tried to help
themselves; dollar for dollar, up to
$500, to be paid to each school earning
money and applying 1t to some school
Improvement.
One rural school-Psris Hill-under
the able management of Mrs. Edna Cum
mings, has earned the almost unbeliev-
able sum of s125.00. We doubt If any
other rural school in the state, or indeed
In the whole United States, can show q
better record than that.
The following list will show the
amount earned by the different schools.
Tho money has been spent for the
special needs In each school. Some
have purchased monographs and
records, some dishes or utensils for the
hot MONDAY lunch, some purchased
books for the school library, curtains
for the windows or framed pictures fol-
the walls. Many purchased pencil
sbarpeners or other equipment. The
Brick School put in electric lights.
The teachers and scholars are deseSv-
ing of great credit for their efforts to
help their schools, and the town has
demonstrated the fact that 1t 10 willing

building Of three stories and basement,
erected In 1878, and the upper floor has
always been occupied by the odd Fell
lows. Since Its erection Its external ap-
pearsnce has been slightly changed by
improvements, and its interior has un-
dergone more or less minor remodeling.
1t was owned by q corporation, the Mt.
Mica Building Association, most OF the
stock of which Is now owned by the Odd
Fellows lodge.
The building narrowly escaped de-
struction and was badly damaged In q
fire on the 10Th of December, 1919, an
even colder night than last Friday. The
damage done at that time had been
repaired, and the building put In better
shape than before.
Estimates of the loss vary. come plac-
ing 1t much higher, but $50, 900 is . con-
sentative figure for the total. The sew
eral losers have insurance to some
amount.
Before the fire was under control, the
sentiment was expressed that another
wooden building would not be erected
on that lot, and forecasts OF brick
block there are freely heard. Indeed,
our information need not stop there.
The plan already formulated Is to move
True Block or dispose of 1t In some way,
and on the two lots erect tbree-story
brick block, 145 feet front and SO feet
deep.

Looking Toward a Brick Block.

In view of the situation caused by the
burning Of Odd Fellows Block Friday
night, special meeting OF tho South
Paris Board of Trade was called Satur-
day evening by President Perley r. Rip
Icy. At this meeting the matter Of Q
new building on the site was discussed,
and . committee was chosen who are
authorized to secure m architect to
come and look the situation over and
make estimates. This committee CON-
sists OF Perley T. Ripley, Albert W.
Walker, Walter L. Gray, Leslie L. Mason
and W. B. Strickland.
A Ii stated elsewhere, ambition runs
toward three story brick block, 146 BY

playing on the building from various
points. The water pressure held up,
and the number of streams In play seem
ed to make no difference.
In one respect conditions we're favor
able, ss 1t was still night, with no
wind whatever. In another respect con-
ditions were hard, as the temperature
Was near zero, making 1t very cold job
for the f1remen.
Because of the height Of the building,
looming above the other buildings near
by, IL has always been felt that fire In
1t would endanger other property
seriously. True Block, which is sepa-
rated from 1t only by narrow alley, has
been regarded as particularly In danger.
With the absence of wind, however, and
thorough protection by streams OF water,
neither this building nor any other suf-
fered damage. The roofs Of two or
three buildings, where they were not
covered with snow, were wet down, but
nothing more was necessary.
About an hour after the start OF the
fire, the light wires gave way, leaving
the town in darkness 80 far as electricity
was concerned, but the light of the moon
reinforced by the varying light from the
blaze Of the building, enabled the fire.

State Health officer In Conference.

State Health Officer In Conference.
DR.. Goodrich of the state board of
beslth, officer Of this district, was In
town Saturday to investigate conditions
at the Shurtleff school building. The
committee appointed at the parents
meeting last Tuesday evening were pres
emit.
The committee consists of Mrs. How
ard Shaw, Mrs. Edward Greene, Mrs.
Joseph Currier, Mrs. Henry Merrill,
Mrs. L. B. Card. Besides the committee
Mr.. Garcelon, DR.. Stewart, Mr.. Allen and
Mrs. Haskell were In attendance.
DR.. Goodrich earnestly advocated that
three or four towns in this vicinity unite
and hire health officer. He said that
in order to obtain state aid the health
officer must be physician, graduate
of the College of Public Health, grad
uste nurse, or . person who had bad
twelve months experience as q health
officer. The State undertakes to pay
one-third Of the state officers salary.
He stated that there was more trouble
from South Paris than any other place.
He was asked II diphtheria might have
come from tho sewer. He said be would
not say that 1t originated there, but that
typhoid fever might. When asked II q
sewer were not favorable place for
diphtheria germs to thrive, he admitted
1t L.. He said 1t IL the law that school
building must be fumlgsted after every
case Of diphtheria, and that the books
that have been used by the pupil who
has the disease must be burned, and any
other books which the child may have
handled must be disinfected.
When asked where the Knight child
could have contracted the disease DR..
Goodrich thought it might be from laun-
dry work, which the mother does at
home.
He advised that the throsts Of the
children who attend this school be OK.
amined by q physician every morning for
several weeks and suspected cases sent
home. He said that culture could be
taken from the throats of the children
and be sent In to the state board, but that
this would be expensive. He condemned
the filth In the basement, said school
buildings should be swept daily, and dis
infectant sprayed upon the floors.
Definite sction regarding these MAJ
ters will doubtless be taken ut the
parents meeting at Engine Hall this
Monday evening.

A possibility which South Paris has
long feared became Q reality Friday
night. A FIRE In Odd Fellows Block got
beyond control, and reduced the build
ing to wreck. While there were left
portions Of the walls more or less burn
cd, and mass Of wreckage inside, al Of
which must be cleared ont of the way,
the building and most of its contents are
practically total loss.
Frank Maxim, Q well known South
Paris boy Of Is. was badly burned abou!
the face and hands by Q blazing picture
dim. His burns are not deep but are
exceedingly painful.
The FIRE originated in the booth Of the
Savoy Theatre, the moving picture house
which has for some time occupied the
second floor Of the building. Frank
Maxim was that evening operating the
machine. The blaze started about 8
O'Clock, during the intermission between
the first and second shows, and when 1t
was nearly time for the second show to
begin. When the film took fire and
flashed up, Frank hastily showed 1t ont
of the door and IL dropped in the hall
way and on the stairs. 1t Was 10 doing
this that he received his burns.
Fortunately there were In the theatre
at that time only about score Of poo
pie who were waiting for the second
show, and without panic or serious ex-
element they made their way out BY
the fire escape at the other end OF the
building.
An alarm was at once given, and the
whistle of the Mason Manufacturing Co.
doomed out the signal. The fire mean
while burned fercely, and by the time
he flrst water was turned on, the ante

entirely burned of, and some portions
Of the walls were riddled. The upper
floors mostly fell In, but the blaze was
finally literally drowned out BY the vol
ume of water which was turned on 1t,
and there was ct NO time much fire on
the lower floor. AZ 10 said above, how
ever, what remains Of the building is
worse than useless, - 1t will cost con-
siderable amount to clear it out of the
way.
By eleven O'Clock 1t was evident that
the water was getting ahead Of the blaze,
and before midnight most OF the crowd
of spectators who had chilled and shiv-
cred In the zero atmosphere had gone
home.
The building was occupied on the
ground floor by the Office of the select
men of Paris, the jewelry store of John
Pierce, the barber shop OF 81. w. Star
bird, with . private club room ct the
rear, the show room of the Paris Auto
Sales Co., and the Stevens Pharmacy, A.
French Stevens, proprietor. At an early
hour Mr.. Starbird removed most OF the
equipment from bis barber shop. A con-
siderable part of the stock of the Ste
vens Pharmacy was also removed while
1t was possible to do so. In their show
room on the ground floor the Paris Auto
Sales Co. had three new cars, and In the
basement some used cars. These were
all got ont. 1t was not possible to get
