Community Service, Inc.

"The Community Service, Inc.' has
been organized at Monroe for recre-
atlonal purposes, especially for chill
dren, as a result of which additional
play grounds will be established.
Representatives Of the Rockefeller
Foundation came to Monroe on invi-
tation of Mrs. E. L. Owens, chairman
OF civic department, and held confer
ences with representative citizens re-
garding the organization. Mr.. E. V.
Randall, representative last unit, ad-
ressed the different luncheons clubs,
Moneroe Rotary, Kiwanis and Lions
who endorsed the movement and sign
ed necessary obligations.
Mrs. E. L. Owens presented the
matter to the city and parish authori-
ties who readily assumed the remain
ing balance necessary. So all pre-
liminaries having been arranged, it is
hoped to be possible to hold a cele-
'bration Christmas under the new d.
rector. Mr.. Randall promised prompt
attention would be given the matter.
The success of community service
work depends on cooperation and it
is hoped splendid results will be seen
in Monroe from this movement. Cit-
liens are grateful to the civic de-
partment for their persistent efforts

THE SONGS WE LOVE
Lx-AULD LANG SYNE

The officials of the Androscoggln
and kennebec Electric railroad be-
gan operations at midnight Wednes-
day for the stringing of new troll
ley wire between this city and Hal
lowell. BY daybreak Thursday 4
temporary wire had been strung so
that cars could be accommodated
during the period of operation. The
work of stringing the new. wire,
which consists of a single copper
cable. requires no little skill and
must be done at times when the
transmission current. is turned off.
or in other words. when traffic has
been concluded for the day. 1t will
probably take about week for the
work to be completed and during
that time the construction crew un-
der the supervision of Chief Electro
clan Haskell will be obliged to do
their work between the hours of 1:30
and $50 A. NJ, The present cable
has been in service with the eXcep-
ton of a few minor repairs and
patches since the road began opera
tions back in 1888 when the COM
pany was then known as the Au-
gusta, Halloweli and Gardiner Rail
road Company.

RED CROSS NOTES

Here are a few simple suggestions
for every housewife:
Clean homes often insure health
of the members of the family living
therein, and too much attention can
not be paid by homemakers and
housekeepers to keeping the home
spotless, from the standpoint Of
health as we'll as personal comfort.
With the opening of summer every
home should be thoroughly gone over,
all dark corners, all repositories for
unused articles should be looked
into. Get rid of the superfuous.
There is a real trait in human ma
ture to hoard and closets. attics and
store places often contain heaps of
things that should have gone into the
trash pile long ago. They are pro-
