Fred Cyr Addresses
Rotary Club Upon
Highway Situation

The regular meeting of the Wa
terville Rotary Club was held yes
terday noon at the Elmwood Ho-
tel. After the regular luncheon.
several short talks were given by
some of the members on the sub
iect of what Waterville most needs.
Mr.. +. c. Wardwell spoke on the
benefits of boosting your home
town. saying that he noticed while
travelling in the south that all of the
natives were. continually singing
praises of their community. One
thing that we lack. said Mr.. Ward
we'll. is cooperative advertising. If
we spend a dollar advertising our
business we may get 4 dollar out of
it and we may not. but if everyone
would get busy in boosting our home
city we would get lot out of it.
have great faith in the Maine pub
licity bureau, and I believe we will
derive great results from it.
Fred Cyr spoke next and told of
the highway situation. saying that
most of the tourists between Ban
gor and Portland were directed to
go on the outskirts of Waterville
rather than to pass through the
main street. II think this is wrong"
he said. "'because l believe that we
have business section that people
want to see and will be glad to visit
when once they know about it," He
then spoke on the different kinds of
roads, saying that he believed it far
cheaper in the end to build con-
crete highways, as the maintenance
would be far less and that the diff
ference would eventually pay the
difference in cost of construction.
He said that he did not think it a
wise plan to leave the matter of road
construction to the governor and
council, as he thought the State en-
gineers had and would use far bet
ter judgment.
During the meeting, L. A. Hodges.
farmer. was received as a new men,
Der. Ralph Jewell. vice-president.
presided oyfr the meeting. owing to
the absence of President Herbert G.
Libby. who is attending the spring
conference of Rotary in Providence.
r. /. The club secretary, George
Fl. Mari. was reported i'll and
Thomas 3. Ashcroft acted in that
capacity. At the last meeting the
club nominated the full membership
as directors. from which ten will be
elected. and the results of the cleo
ton will be given out April >.

Four Elm City Men
in Colby Musical
Clubs This Season

1t Is unusual for the Colby Musical
clubs to have very much talent from
Waterville but this year there are
four men from the Elm city. This
will probably have q tendency to
draw a good many of their friends
to the concert, Thursday, not neces-
sarlly because they are home talent
but because all have taken part in
various city entertainments and are
known to be good.
Lee Il. Nicholas '25 Of Waterville,
Is one of the four, his contribution
being a violin solo. Nichols has stu
died in the New England Conserva-
tory of Music and has been playing
III orcheStras throughout Maine for
the past three years. He is connec-
ted with the club orchestra as well.
Charles L. Smith, '25 of the Zeta
Psi fraternity will render a cornet
solo which is bound to be of the first
water. He has been in the musical
clubs for the past three years and his
appearances has always been the
causeof more than one encore. He
has travelled all over Maine likewise
and is known all over theState as
one of the best.
Abbott Smith, Freshman. is
scheduled for a, piano solo and al
though he new to the clubs has been
very successful during the trips that
the clubs have made this year. He is
chapel organist and his selection will
undoubtedly be well received.
The fourth and far from the least
is Eddie Baxter '25. Eddie has a
reputation far and wide not for tick
ling the worries but for his reading.
Every student in college has heard
him at one time or other and no
matter what the occasion. Eddie is
always called to the front for his
little piece. He has appeared in
nearly every Waterville show of note
in the past five years. also shining at
other cities in the State. He is a
wonder with the French Canadian
dialect. his work Invariably being. of
the humorous type.
Rehearsals are being held for the
concert eevry day and everything
points to a very successful concert.
Tickets are on sale and from the way
they are going. it won't be long be-
fore all the seats will be gone.

Indications that the Atlantic coast

preparing to finance extensive SNUG
ed to hail from the Bahamas already
is rocking off the northern New Jer-
sey coast and preliminary landings
are reported to have been made.
Word that a British syndicate Is
assembling an armada to storm the
Atlantic coast has been brought here
recently by tourists visiting Nassau
and Federal agents are said to be
investigating.
With this three fronted attack
come other indications that sprinI
will bring melodramatic activities in
the North Atlantic, reminiscent of
the days of Captain Kidd.
Interest here conferred on whether
the three fleets reported to be in pro-
cess of organization intended to focus
their attack on the entrance to New
York harbor. where. they could be
boarded by runners from Jersey and
Long Island. or whether they intended
to scatter up and down the coast.
Bootleggers have indicated previous
ly that Ambrose Channel was the best
rendezvous because OF it's proximity
to New York, Philadelphia. Newark and
other ready markets. Rum craft, how
ever. have been reported at various
times off the New England coast. Re-

charge of marine dry forces at New

he was transferred to Boston, to organ

FOR KENNEbEC SIL0S
ADVOCATED. BY F,B,

The Kennebec Farm Bureau has
been strongly advocating the use of
New York flint seed corn for silage
purposes. For the past four or five
years they have placed before the
Kennebec farmer the value of this
corn for such purpose and for the
past four years have secured varieties
Of the corn for members. Each year
the users have been asked to keep a
report and the following statement.
along that line, is Of interest to the
Kennebec silO owner:
For the past four years the Farm
Bureau has been trying to interest
the dairymen in the county in the
use Of Mammoth Flint. a variety Of
corn for silage which has given bet
ter results on the whole than any

no seed dealer in the county handles
this variety the county project lead

the police had acted and whether the

Mr.. Macdonald pointed out that
the restoration of order in Ireland
act, was passed in 1920. when British
troops were in control in Ireland and
the British ministers were respon-
sible for the administration Of Ire
land. That was no longer the case,
and Parliament must satisfy that the
action of the government in this
matter was in accordance not with
convenience, but with the law.
The home secretary. William C.
Bridgman. replying. said he would
leave the legal aspect to be dealt
with by the attorney general and
proceeded to read a number of seized
letters as proof Of the offenses al
legged against the persons deported.
Considerable laughter from the la
borite benches and suggestions that
the letters were fabrications pro-
vosed the secretary to retort: 1T

would comprise tire epersons, and he
had secured as chairman. Lord Ire

Several labor and other members,
including Sir John Simon. former
home secretary, criticized the gov
eminent procedure. Sir John de-
scribed it as a gross betrayal Of the
liberties Of the ordinary people. He
especially objected because the in
ternment seemed to be indefinite and
declared that it was question con-
corning the liberty of every British
citizen.
The attorney general. Sir Douglas
Hogg. supported the government
from the legal point of view and con-
tended that the ministers would
have assumed very grave respon-
sibilty had they refused the assist
ance asked by the Free State gov
eminent. He asserted it was not for
England to dictate to the Frea State
government. which knew best in its
own interests.

The lower yield and smaller gain
