THE WALDO COUNTY BOYS CCNvEN-
TON. The recent Boys Convention in
| Portland has gone into history as most
important event. There were about H.
5U0 of the States young manhood pres
ent. They were clean, bright and active
J youths and all carried home with them
! new ideas that will materlaliZe in Chris
tan and moral uplft. When the Belfast
| boys at the convention reported the
events at the Baptist church, Raymond o.
Young at that time seeing the good the
Boys County Conventions were doing as
tributaries to the State Convention, ex-
pressed the wish that Waldo County
might have one. Later he had a confer
ence with O. E. Frost, a man who is first,
last and always interested in boys. The
idea was not new with Mr.. Frost as he
travels extensively over the State and
has been interested for some time in
these County Conventions and taken
notes on them. He has also been promi-
nent in the Laymen's Movement and has
served the Maine Baptist Convention as
its president. Mr.. Frost thought this
was an opportunity to take advantage of,
and began work in its interests. He per-
sonally called on about IS men Ind all
who did not have previous engagements
responded, and took occasion to say that
they would be glad to assist in any way
IN the movement as they believed in it,
The following were present at the Friday
night meeting in the High school room:
