"Y" Young Men Plan
Vacation Trip This
Summer to Katahdin

The question of an adequate sum-
mer camp for the Augusta "Y" boys
and girls is receiving much attention
by the leaders of the various groups
of young people at the "Y." Already
the Girls Scouts are making plans for
week at camp, and Helen Tracy,
their scoutmaster, is planning to go
with them. AS the plans are now
for boys there will likely be week
at camp for older boys and a week
for younger boys. If this scheme is
followed the older boys will go to
camp the week after school closes
and the younger boys the following
week.
Some of the older boys and young
men are also talking of ten days
camping trip to Mt. Katahdin in
which all will have a fine chance to
enjoy life in the open and see the
finest camping country in the Maine
woods. The boys will make this trip
to Mt. Katahdin by auto, leaving Au
gusta in the early morning and ar
irving in the big woods late in the
afternoon of the same day.

Percy H. Whiting
of C. M. p. Co. Speaks
On Subject, advertising"

Gives Sixth Lecture in Course of vo-
cationaI Guidance to Students OF
Cony High School at Assembly
Friday Morning
The sixth lecture in the course of
Vocational Guidance at Cony High
school was given Friday morning by
Percy Whiting of the Central Maine
Power Company on the subject of
advertising" He gave one of the
most interesting talks of the course
and held the strict attention of the
500 or more students during a most
instructive half-hour period.>
In developing the subject, Mr..
Whiting started with the premise
that advertising is desirable and he
proved this by the following points:
1, 1t helps build legitimate business;
2, 1t lowers the cost of goods by in
creasing the volume; 3. it serves to
introduce new articles: 4. it protects
the buyer by standardizing good
goods; s. 1t makes business success
full by insuring open competition.
He then explained what some of
the qualifications were for a success

tnan that, to be success. the indi-

OF his deductions, arguing that good

Other qualifications which he men
TONED were: ability to see and think
clearly. power Of observation, origi-
nality in expression. and honesty of
purpose.
Some Of the ways in which q young
person may prepare to enter the field
were enumerated. these including a
college course, when possible at some
higher institution of learning, hav-
ing course in advertising; an ap-
premiership of two years as a news
paper reporter; a period of work in
a print shop where the student would
have an opportunity to learn the diff

the individual could get in touch with
the advertising manager.
He then tod in some detail what
