j. w. Martin said 81 have de-
cided to stay with John Enos al
though | too have tried to resign
several times"
w. R. Magoon, president of the
|. o. 0. f. Corporation said "The
spirit of this organization is with
the boys of the fire department
and we feel all the more that we
should keep open house as 20 of
them are also members of our
club. | wish to voice our apprecia-
ton of the interest so often eX-
pressed by the people of our city
81 wish to pay tribute to the
late John r. Akin and Ex-Gov. G.
H. Prouty for many years chief of
the Fire Department in Newport.
Both were instrumental in build
ing up the present efficient force.
L. T. Young said that he hoped
that the guests would be so agree
ably impressed by the environment
and the enjoyment of this occasion
that they would become members
, of both organizations.
Joe Pond, foreman of Hose
company No. 3, whose men have
established records of good work
on the west side, spoke as did also
B. S. Curtis, Joseph Sequin, Fred
Beaulieu, W. H. Harrison, Jess
Boynton, T. A. Stevens and secre-
tary, Charley Young, whom the
boys always welcome on pay day.
Fire Chief, H. H. Green, last but
by no means least of the speakers
gave many interesting remines-
censes of his 30 years service with
the company. Eighteen men at
first comprised the force, among
whom he recalled Ben Thrasher
and E. j. Prouty joing with him
/ for this service. They were exempt
from two dollar poll tax.
The first fire. he attended the
thermometer was 20 below zero,
and when the fire was subdued
their Globes had to be chopped off
of them. Mr.. Green said the full
quota of the company was So, the
present membership being So.
Those that were absent have a
good reason for not being with us.
Mr.. Green took this occasion to
thank every member whether
present or not for their coopera-
ION during the year 1922.
John Cunningham, who was
present in the interest of the Gale
donian-Record, related an incident
of early times when the village
first became the proud owner of
a small hand engine. 1t was after
wards facetiously spoken of as the
tub" but at the time so much held
IN awe that when at midnight the
church bells changed out the alarm
of fire and whistles awoke the vii
layers so great was the respect for
law and order that no one dared to
loose the monster without proper
authority and the barn burned to
the ground while Peter Porter and
Sam Horton were hunting for
some one with authority"

"Throush the Periscope"

Capt. Lester NJ. Hart, formerly OF
the Portland Press staff, and after
wards the private secretary of Gov
ernor Milliken, has re-entered the
newspaper game, this time through
the commercial end Of it, and is now
connected with the advertising de-
partment Of the Kennebec Journal.
Most of his friends supposed that
if Lester had decided to stage a
comeback for the newspaper game he
would go straight to the news end of
it. Therefore their surprise can be
imagined when the dull and prosaic
counting room claimed him.
Capt. Hart claims that he finds his
present occupation a great deal more
congenial than news getting or hand
ling a copy desk. He insists that in
the counting room there are stories
twice as interesting as those that he
might get by assignment from a city
news room.-Portland Press Herald.

". & H. Embroidery
Club Holds Field
[DaY at BELGRADE

The Vickery & Hill Embroidery
club met Saturday with Mrs. Aver at
Camp Wequetonsing, Belgrade Lakes.
Work bags Were forgotten and an
ideal day invited scouting along the
shore and in the fields. One golf
fiend who came attired in the last
word in sporting toys and carrying a
unique set Of sticks, passed the
morning in search of the greens.
One veteran guide was heard to re-
mark: "Haint seen no such styles as
that since Anna Held came traipsing
down to the lake" Two members
preferred fishing, but from observa-
ton and results it was thought to be
a scheme to escape from preparations
for lunch, which was served at noon.
Many astronomical feats were at
tempted, but the name of the win
ner was withheld by the hostess, who
accepted a box of fudge as a bride Of
secrecy.
During the afternoon, one of the
chauffeurs, who was not an employee
Of the Needlecraft Company, was
made an honorary member by unani-
nous vote and given the initiatory
degree in full form. On the return
trip she showed due appreciation of
the honor by developing engine trou-
BILE and obliging the sisters to get out
md push the car up the hills, until
exhausted and suspicious, the ladies
refused to play horse any longer.
Skillful adjustment was made with
the gas and the car sped merrily
away. With a CHEEKY good night each
member climber her front stoop with
the happy thought, Thank Good
ness! Plant closed till Wednesday,"
