COLLABORATING Epidemolosists

All local health officers in Maine
have been notified that upon the rec
concentration of DR.. Leyerett ID.
Bristol, State commissioner of health,
they have been appointed assistant
collaborating psychologists in the
Public Health Service. These APP
pointments were made by the
Bureau of the United States
Public Health Service of the
Federal Treasury Department. Com
missioner Bristol in notifying the
health officers of this appointment
says:
This isn't as bad as il sounds In
plain English it doesn't mean much
more work than your present duties
as health officers in your communi-
ties demand.
1.-THE appointments are in the in
terest OF two things, more prompt
and complete reporting of all notifia-
BILE diseases in Maine to the State
department Of health and through
the department to Washington, and
the ability to use the government
ranking privilege in this work. This
will save the health officers and doc
tors in Maine all postage expenses
on such reports"
Dr. Bristol himself has been APP
pointed State Collaborating Epidem
ologist.

Four Maine Towns
Centennial In 1921

Bangor, Me, Jan. 1g-Four towns in
Maine will have reasonable excuses for
celebrations in 1921, for it will be their
centennial year. A Maine town that
fails TO observe such an anniversary
is rare, no matter how small The
event is usually anticipated for some
time and plans made, often for func-
tions that take up an entire week
The actual dates of Incorporation are
early in the year. as the Maine Legis-
lature which passed the incorporation
acts the first week in January bu,
celebrations are usually deferred until
Summer in order to combine Old Home
week features.
The Maine centennial towns for 1921
are Concord, Peru. Canton and Cum
berland, rather less than the usual
number.
Concord is little farming town far
up the Kennebec Valley. in Somerset
County, bordering on the river. 1t does
not appear in the records why it was
named Concord. but it's name may have
suggested something TO the late in
corporators of the next town to the
west, which was called Lexington. Con-
cord was settled soon after the Revo-
luton by Maj. Ephraim Head, who
came from Temple. y. II. There are
people enough TO have a celebration
with the help of the neighbors.
Peru and Canton are adjoining towns
in Oxford County. on the AndroscogCin
River. and may possibly have a combj
nation celebration. If they don't. it will
be a rival affair. although the town
with the Chinese name is somewhat
larger than the other. Both are on the
Rangeley division of the Maine Central
Railroad. The towns are twins, having
been incorporated on the same day.
Feb. 5. 1871.
Canton is a lively town and will have
big centennial celebration some time
in the Summer. 1t has about 1000 peo-
pie, three churches. an opera house.
Summer hotel several garages and all
the outfit of an up-to-date town
Peru with the villages of West Peru
and East Peru has about 1900 pecple
IN its borders. The town was originally
a grant OF land to citizens of Fainou.l
who moved there. the knight, I,unt
Bracket and Bradish families follow
ed by the Walkers. Trasks and Bailevs.
Peru will no doubt have a celebration.
