ASSN HOLDS fine
MEETING At c. OF c,

"A very interesting meeting or the
Augusta Americanization Association
was held Thursday afternoon at the
Chamber Of Commerce rooms. DR..
Stuart PurveS, rector OF st. Marks
Episcopal church, spoke in an able
manner on the methods to be en-
ployed in this work. He said that
we should have more Of a celebra-
ton on National holidays so that
those recently come to this country
might get to understand better the
institutions Of our country. He also
spoke on the early history of the
country and of those men who in
their work of founding the country
had recourse to God, such as Ben
jamin Franklin, Washington at VAL
ley Forge and Lincoln.
He brought out IN most forcible
manner that the American might
become more Americanized: that we
might develop stronger bond OF
sympathy between this and other
nations. In this regard the speaker
said that there have been many in
stances OF our treatment OF aliens
which might have been much differ
ent IL we had used more sympathy.
He also spoke of the Improvements
which are now being made at Ellis
Island.
Miss Ethel Garside spoke OF the
Americanization work Of the Girls
Community club. She said that this
club was for girls 'of all nations ana
that it was helping much in this
work by making them acquainted
with each other. She spoke OF at
tending the convention which was
recently held in Massachusetts, and
told Of many phases Of the work OF
the club there and at home.
After the speaking. a discussion
OF the best method of meeting this
problem was held. One suggestion
was that, with the permission OF the
superintendent of the mills, some
one should go there at noon and
talk TO them in a pleasant way. An
other was that all should be en-
ccuraged to attend night school.
A short discussion OF education
week. in which the American Legion
is working with the Americanization
Association. was held.

Dr.. Fross then explained very in
terestingly the analysis of milk as
it is done by the State. and pointed
out the significance of the various
items of the report. He first showed
how the percentage of butterfat is
determined in Maine by. the we'll
known Babcock test. He. explained

"Not a single case has come to me
within the past year among the $50
or more samples analysed. The cases
of skinned milk, however, are nu-
merous. A large portion of the
cases Of SKINNED milk am sure are
due to improper mixing. Though not
intentional, it is nevertheless vio-
lation of the law to sell milk which
contains less than the required
amount Of butterfat"

The building boom which contrac.
tors reports from various parts Of the
country Indicate and which the build
ing material dealers reports substan-
tiate in large measure seems to have
struck our leading Vermont city, Bur-
lington, for up to the present time no
less than thirty permits for erecting
dwellinghouses have been granted thus
far during the present calendar year,
in contrast to "a last year, Is the year
previously, and seven in 1919. In fact,
the number of buildings now in course
Of construction is about equal to the
pre- war situation. Few other COM
munities in Vermont have been expe-
riencing revival of building in any
such proportion as Burlington but it
is probable that there will be con-
siderable acceleration in that line of
activity by the end Of the present sum
mer or early next spring, providing the
price of materials and labor does not
take a marked jump. Building activ-
ity marks return of prosperity and
when building takes on boom
throughout the country, not in scat
tered cases, it is evidence that the
country is getting back onto normal
basis.

Now that three desperadoes have
been sentenced to nine years in Con-
necticut state prison as the result Of
their murderous efforts to rob at Bird
port, Conn, there should be firm de-
termination on the part Of the public
and the prosecuting officers Of that
commonwealth that the trio serve out
every day Of their nine years terms.
None Of the mushy sentimentality
ought to be permitted to enter into
consideration Of their cases; they gave
no consideration to the people they
robbed or to the officers who were in
strumental in arresting their nefarious
careers. Having given no considera-
ton other than what cold lead could
do, they deserve no clemency what
ever.

disease having taken serious hold on
the once powerful frame of the pitch
err; but the patient, heartened by the
interest OF his friends and aid finan-
cially in most generous fashion, went
about the conquest Of the disease In a
business like way, taking the recon-
mendations of his physicians as law
and living up to that law to the LETT
ter. For two years he kept up the
fight, with stout heart just as he had
pulled out many victory on the dia
mond after apparent defeat. Now vic
tory. seemingly, has come. The pa
tient, with flesh restored and with
some degree Of his former vjgor, has
again made his debut on the diamond,
a mere momentary debut, to be sure,
but sufficiently long to give the public
"a chance to determine that he had
made marked progress back toward
health. The public applauds the big
fellow for his winning fight against
the odds that faced him two years ago.
The example illustrates the possibility
Of 4 winning fight for others in similar
condition if the most rigorous dis
cipline is maintained under competent
supervision. 1t can be an arrested
case Of tuberculosis for many, even
though complete cure and restora
tion to former health is not possible.
1t is worth the fight, Christy Math
ewson will tell you.
