Service Rendered By The
Waterville Red Cross

Before the war Mr.. Smith was able
to work steadily. After being dis
charged Mr.. Smith could not keep a
job more than a few weeks because Of
weakness and inability to remember
what was told him. He was very ner-
vous, unable to sleep and often walked
the floor large part of the night.
His aged parents were worried about
his condition. After IS months some
ono told them to so to the American
Red Cross.
Mr.. Smith had lost his discharge
certificate. He could not tell in what
company he served or in what coun-
try. A form was secured from the ad-
jutant generals Office in Augusta, fill
ed out as we'll as possible and sent on
to Washington. A certificate in lieu for
lost discharge was soon received, COM
pensation papers filed. and six affida-
Wits were forwarded with the appli-
cation for compensation. A medical
examination disclosed not only an af-
fected mind but tpbercular lungs. and
Smith was sent to the sanitorium.
After time Smith was awarded
compensation but the check could not
be released because Of his mental con-
dition. until a guardian was appointed.
A few months later word was received
,, that Smith would have to be sent to a
hospital for mental troubles as he was
growing worse. Soon a paper was re-
ceived from the doctor in charge ask
ing 40 questions. 1t took hours to
gather the information necessary in
answering these questions.
Smiths mental condition is improv-
ing and 1t is hoped that he will in time
regain his former health. There have
| been 40 papers and letters written and

State Commander
American Legion Tells
of Natl. Convention

Dr.. John G.. Towne, State Com
mander of the American Legion gave
a report of the National Legion Con-
vention to the members of the Geor-
ge n. Bourque Post last evening at
the regular meeting in Legion hall.
DR.. TONNES report was entirely in
formal and proved fully as interest
ing and inspirational as his talks to
the Legionaires always are. He said
that the last month has been a tre-
mendous stride for the American Le-
gion. The convention was q wonder
full one and on the last day the Chief
Of Police of San Francisco came to
the convention hall and told those
assembled that the city had been fill.
ed with the wonderful spirit of the
Legion.
DIR. Towne declared that he
thought too much was done for the
service man during the war by the
various organizations, that he was
petted and coddled too much and
that some of the men came out of
the service feeling that they still
should be made of. He said that this
was the wrong attitude to take. that
man joining the American Legion
should not look upon it as an enter
tainment organization but one for
service.

Paper Industry
Coming to Alaska

Washington, Nov. "a. P.)-De-
velopment of an important pulp and
paper industry in southeastern Alaska
is inevitable because of the water
power, timber and transportation con-
ditions there, in the opinion of Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wallace.
"Thc rate of development Of the
pulp and paper industry of the ter
ritory." says Mr.. Wallace, will be
controlled by the economic factor of
distance from present consumption
centers, and by the necessity, inher-
emit in the industry itself, for large
capital investments, rather than by
physical disadvantages. The ply
steal conditions in southeastern
Alaska-presence of cheaply de-
veloped power, an enormous supply
of inexpensive wood. and the avail
ability of water transportation-ar
the very factors which make in
evitable the expansion of pulp and
paper. manufacturing in the Terri
tory"
