ficer

Stand behind your health officer,
says the Maine Department of Health.
II he Is backed by the business men,
there will be no need to worry about
adequate appropriations and political
interference Business men already
realize the value of health economy in
factories. The first duty of the health
worker is to educate the business men
everywhere to an understanding of the
doctrine of community health. Once
they realize the tremendous economic
value of health work, its future Is Sc
cured and Maine will be assured of a
healthier citizenship.

Joanathon Watson and Mary, his
wife, came from New Hampshire near
ly one hundred years ago and settled
on the f6rm occupied In recent years
by Andrew Bailey. He, like many
others of the first comers of Cambridge
came into town over the rough wood
road by means of an oxteam. An in
teresting incident is told in regard to
the family at the time of the great
fire, in which Mr.. Watson buildings
were burned. 1t is said that when
the fire suddenly came so near that
the family were obliged to take re-
fuge in the middle of a plowed piece
of ground, and watch their home 20
up in flames. After the fire had pas
sed by the loaf of bread was found
in the ashes and was eaten by the
hungry children for supper. Nothing
of the furniture in the house was say
ed except the family bible. Mr. Wat
son brought up a family of eleven
children.

The first store in Cambridge was
established In 1927 by Gurney and
Buzzell and was situated in Buzzels s
house. The next store was built by
David Bailey in 1881. In 1928 David
Bailey was appointed as the first post
master in the place. In 1884 the
town was set apart from Ripley and
Incorporated, the dividing town lines
being the natural barrier of the Main
stream which had made 1t very in
convenient for the people of the north
part of the town to go to Ripley for
all the town business. A meeting
was held at the house of Isaac Hooper
in Cambridge to decide about the con-
ditions of separatios and 1t was sug-
gested that Mr.. Hopers daughter who
later became Mrs. F. l.. Busker, but
then was a girl of eleven be allowed
to select the name for the new town,
This she did, calling it Cambridge
from the English town of the same
name, about which she had been read
ing in her story. Mrs. Bunker lived
on the old place to the advanced
years of 86.

A corporation was formed in Cam
bridge In 1856 to erect a union church
which was built the same year by the
Methodist, Christian Baptist and Star
Baptist societies. The church pros
pered for twenty years or more, alter
nate ministers of different denomina-
uons serving 1t as pastors. After
that time its numbers decreased, un-
til religious services ceased to be held
there. The church building has now
been rebuilt into a fine Grange Hall.
