Of winter sports. We will place our
selves in a position to compete with
California and Florida as winter re-
sorts. To put New England on the
map, however, every town must do
its part, and Augusta, with it's won

opportunity to be a leader in the
pioneer work.

healthful outdoor recreation for our
young people. we have taken a long
step in the right direction towards

IF the people Of Augusta will be-

HAVE CLOSE CALL
IN AUTO TRUCK

A. S. Cyr and Emil Bouchard mar
rowly escaped death or serious injury
Wednesday afternoon when light
automobile truck in which they were
driving became unmanageable behind
the Augusta Furniture Co. and slid
down a steep embankment towards
the kennebec river.
Mr.. Cyr was attempting TO turn
the truck when the clutch caught in
some manner and the car pitched
over the edges of the bank JUST below
the first stone abutments east of Wa
ter street. He stuck to the drivers
seat With brakes jammed on. and the
car brought harmlessly up against a
pile of stones without injury to car
or occupants.
! IF Mr.. Cyr had not had presence OF
mind enough to keep control of the ma
. chine ii would undoubtedly have gone
over the extreme edge Of the bank
i into the Kennebcc river. The car was
raised with block and tackle later in
! the afternoon and drew a crowd Of
spectators to watch the process.
