TAPS SOUNDED. BELLS
T0LLED REVERENTLy
Special Observance by the Catholic
School Children Directed by FIR.
Renaud

The hour of the funeral of the late
Governor Parkhurst, 10 "a. M. Thurs
day of last week, was noted by the
tolling of bells in the various Show
hegan churches. A beautiful and
more elaborate observance occurred
in the school area at the church of
Our Lady of Lourdes on Water street
Under the direction of FIR. Renaud
the school children with their teach
ers were marshalled in regular order
in the presence of the flag which had
been placed at half mast Having
taken their station they waited quietly
and with bowed heads during the time
that the bells were being tolled. They
were then dismissed and the school
session was omitted for the balance
of the day. In the early evening at
4.30 the Catholic bugle and drum
corps appeared on the school grounds
and sounded taps in memory of the
revered statesman. The stars and
stripes were then saluted and I'M
pressively lowered.
These exercises were ordered as a
tribute seemly at the funeral hour of
a distinguished citizen and public Of
ficial and were further intended to
teach the young people who participat-
ed in them respect for those in public
life to whom is entrusted so much of
the public veal. 1t was an impress
sive scene for both old and young.
Youth is the age in which lessons of
this kind make their greatest impress
sion and the young people of the Ca
tholc parish must have benefited by
these memorial exercises.
The County Offices and many bust
ness places were closed during the
greater part of the day as mark
of respect to Names departed Gov
ernor.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY
AvERTED
Car Wheel Breaks on
Norridgewock Bridge
Wrecklng Train Worked all the After.
noon Clearing the Railroad Track

Norridgewock. Feb. 8-What might
have resulted in terrible accident
took place Saturday noon as the pass
enger train due here at a little past
twelve was coming over the bridge
across the river. A forward wheel
on a passenger car in the center of
the train broke and the car was
dragged across the bridge in that con-
dition, as that was the only possible
thing to do. The train was heavily
loaded and the passengers were very
much frightened as they had reason
to be but fortunately for them the
car stuck to the track until it reach
ed this end of the bridge when it left
the irons but everyone was safe. A
horrible accident would have been in
evitable If the car had left the irons
before. A special train was sent up
from Oakland for the passengers and
wrecking train worked all the after
noon clearing the track. The freights
for the afternoon were stalled on each
side of the wreck

WHAT'S DOING At THE
STATE CAPITOL
Representative Clyde II. Smith of
Skowhegan Furnishes Letter for
Publication

You have asked me to tell your
readers something about what Is GO
ing on at Augusta. ! welcome the
portunity to do this. In the session
two years ago, you granted me the
use of your columns for similar pur-
pose Those publications seemed TO
attract some interest. On the theory
that law making is more likely to pro-
ceed wisely if a large proportion of
the citizens interest themselves in it.
l am quite sure that communications
of this kind will be useful, at least,
TO those interested in Public affairs.
At Augusta during the present ses-
sion there will be introduced about
ZOO measures. OF these. something
like 450 would come under the head
ing. Special and Private Laws" af-
fecting portions of the state. or a
part of the inhabitants only. The
balance are general laws which af-
ect everyone the entire state over.
OF course. of the Special and Private
Laws. the readers of our paper would
be interested only in such as affect
some portion of Somerset County.
Theoretically. they would be interest
ed in all of the general laws, but as
we cannot hope to discuss every one
l am going to take up those which
to me seem the most important on
the subject in which I'm charged with
more than the usual responsibility In
this article l will devote attention TO
change in what is known as the
Fifty Four Hour Law"
The statutes of Maine do not set
any limit on the time that man may
work for himself but he can not le-
gally to employed by others more than
sixty hours in any one week. There
is a statute however. applying to wo-
men. and to children under sixteen
years of age, which limits their hours
of labor in industrial establishments.
This is known as the Fifty Four Hour
Law" and was enacted in 1915.
have recently introduced the FOL
lowing forty-eight hour bill;
Section l. No male minor under six
teen years of age and no female
shall be employed in any work
shop, factory, manufacturing or
mechanical establishment, or
laundry more than nine hours
in any one day; except when a
different apportionment OF the
hours OF labor is made for the
/ sole pupose of making snort
er days work or one day OF
the week; and in no case shall
: the hours of labor exceed forty
eight in a week.
