For the first time in his life Steven
Hadley. Bangor sign painter. aged so
years, was in court and the case
| against him for intoxication was of
an unusual nature. Fifteen days
, ago he took a couple of drinks to
warm himself and was taken to the

dollar day in Portland in novel
fashion in a restaurant, the proprietor
! allowing her a discount of five cents
on a meal as a tribute to her CASTRO

plate of ham and eggs with mashed

of picked lambs tongues, potato
| salad, string beans and two bread
rolls. These disposed of, she wound

| cake, apple pie, ice cream and coffee.

was told that a dollar would settle
| the bill.

Winter included several busts, but

figure. and let's 1t freeze. Then he
chisels out his statue, and in the

time. In one night it hardens

as he does into a wax or CLAW model
