Alderman Binette did not think

purchased at a cheaper price after
the building was built than before.

several customers already for the
property.
Alderman Hegarty believed that
the city needs the lot.
The mayor said that the city was

FUND FOR new JUNIOR HIGH T.
COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE

The mayor explained that the city
had appropriated $15o.0OO for the
new Junior High school building.

S1eS,OO0 by Green and Wilson;
s154,000 by the Horace Purinton
Co., and $4,000 by Augustus Carey
Co.
This did not include the heating.
ventilation and plumbing. To

time four years instead of three. The
rate of interest would be 1856 per
cent.

ing Of $4,000 in addition to the
original $4,000 was read by the
mayor.
Mayor Tebbetts said that the State
Superintendent of Schools Office at
Augusta had expressed admiration
Of the plans as prepared by Horace
True Muzzy. the architect.

believe that local contractors had

stead of s15o.OOO.

Christmas Room
Bu MARTHA 3. THOMAS
c. 1922 Western NeWSDODer IJuiOn.)

(@, 1922, Western Newspaper Union.)
THERE is always a place to which
L one may flee in time of need. That
place is the inside of our own heads!
Provided, Of course, that the inside OF
our own heads is properly furnished
with imagination and that the key is
not rusted in the lock from long dis
use. If you are a little lonely on
Christmas eve, or a little unhappy,
or little anything that tends to tar
nish the glow of the season, why not
climb up to that place inside your
head, rattle the lock, be quite firm
with the key no matter how stubborn
1t Is, then enter into what joy you
may summon by your thoughts?
Glad wishes for friends are the
green wreaths we may hang in the
windows of our Christmas room.
Hopes for another year are the can
dies we light on the table.
New plans are the fruit to deck the
board, and very likely there will be a
guest or so to share them.
Think of the Fire of Purpose you
may light on your hearth!
Think Of the glow and warmth it
will cast over you!
Think of the castles and dreams you
crowded out of your heart because
you were too busy; the fine, adven-
turous ones the funny ones you have
laughed over all to yourself; the shy
ones you would not reveal to a soul
at any price. Call them all back and
see what splendid set Of inspirations
they are. You'll feel like a new person.
And don't forget to put present
on the Tree Of Faith for yourself; ;
something you've wanted all your life.
If you can't have it this year, waiting
will make it more precious; and if you
can Ooh, think of thatD you'll be all
the better prepared.
Do spend little time in your Christ
mas room!
