The basket ball game with Bucksport
"A. A. on Wednesday night furnished en-
tertalnment for an enthusiastic crowd.
The score went at 81 to 80 in favor of the
visitors, and is said to have been won in
two minutes of overtime play. The Cas-
tine high school team played the local
nigh school team on Friday night, the
nome flve winning in an interesting con-
test, 28 to %. A notable feature of the
evening was the presentation by the
courtesy of Manager Wardwell of two
educational reels. the highly instructive
pictures being accompanied with text by
Nicholas Murray Butler.
Mrs. Albert M. Ames returned De-
cember 10th from Prospect, where she
had been with her grandmother, Mrs.
Eliza Cheney Grant, and aunt, Miss Ell

Ames at the Shriners' ceremonial in Ban
gor Mrs. Grant, who is the widow of
Gooding Grant, is one of the remarkable
women of this section, having attained
tn age of "a years last May, and until
very recently in splendid vigor. A slight
fall a week or more ago has made it
necessary for Mrs. Grant to remain in
bed at present. Her older son, Wilbur
Grant of Bangor, arrived the last of the
week for an indefinite stay.
Comparing the situation in this town
today with that of three years ago shows
contrast which is painful to the eye
and the mind. That the condition is not
at all unique in this war-frazzled world
may be consoing, but it affords no relief
for Packard appetite with Ford in
come. The earnest students of ecoDo
mics gathered about the glowing stoves
in the grocery stores of evenings are
fully justified in asking why deep wa
ter railroad terminal of extraordinary ia
clities, an available artery of traffic con
Meeting vast area of prosperous terri
tory, which cost several millions of dol
lars, should be permitted to lie idle ex
cept for coal receipts. Bangor long since
lost its prestige as a seaport; rail trans
portation is VIGOROUSLY costly and de
fective; schooners and steamships are
lying idle all along the coast. Doubtless
there are very practical reasons why
commodities are not being shipped and
IN
quantities-but it would make all the
difference in the world to this town if
traffic was resumed.
