The community was Saddened by
the death Sunday, Dec. 2, of one of
its oldest and most respected citi-
zens, Alfred j. Joyce. Mr.. Joyce was
born at Swans Island, December %,
1915, but at an early age his parents
moved to Oceanville, where he had
since lived. He had been in failing
health for some time, but was able to
be up and about, most of the time.
He will long be missed and remem-
bered as loving father and husband,
a good citizen, kind neighbor and
friend to all. He leaves, besides his
widow, three daughters and four
sons-Mrs. Harold Webb and Mrs. S.
Fifeld of Oceanville, and Mrs Grace
Herrick of Brooklin, Frank of Nal
den, Mass, Alliston of Brooklin,
Winfield of Deer Isle and Eugene of
Stonington. The many floral offer
ings were silent tributes of the love
and esteem in which he was held.
Services were at the home Tues
day afternoon, Mr.. Robertson Of
floating. Interment was at Green
wood cemetery.

Trip Through New Guinea Costly.

New Guinea is Il rough country to
travel in-abSolutely virgin jungle,
without even a path other than the
knfe-cut paths carved out of the wall
of vegetation that covers the greater
part of the island. And it is q costly
thing to travel through the jungle,
for everything you are likely to wear,
eat and use in the trip must be car
ried with you on the backs of your
native porters; the jungle is innocent
of even the poorest sort of store or
shop. Man transport is expensive,
too, and a moderate estimate for the
cost of a tour inland by two white
men and thirty native carriers is not
less than $500 a month. The lonely
white man can travel in most coun-
tries; in New Guinea he is unknown.
Arctic exploration is not more siren

ARB0R DAY At
The HIGH SCHOOL

Arbor day was observed in most
fitting manner in the Arvada schools
last Friday. Four trees were planted
near the grade school by various
grades, one of the English classes in
the high school planted IA tree, while
the 7. U. G. girls enhanced tho
beauty of the school grounds with
several rambler rose bushes and
flowers Of varied hue. One expert
has likened u home without a garden
and flowers to one without children.
The same is applicable to the school
building. Few people realize tho
beauty that may be obtained by hav-
ing an attractive garden; it is often
hard to believe that plants and trees
are essential factors in the decora-
tive scheme, but they are and should
be chosen with care. Arbor day b
coming to mean more and more 10
the Amcrica-loving people, and this
year it is noted that numbcrless
school and state as well as national
organizations have taken especial in
terest in the planting and cultivation
of trees, shrubbery and flowers.
"Witness the glory Of autumnal
changes.
Witness the cheer of spring in all its
glory.
Witness the power Of the daisy clus-
tered fields to bring happy
thoughts bubbling to the heart.
Witness the power Of year we'll
spent to bring Joy to the heart.
Beauty or contcntment is happincss"
Sentiments more or less of this ma
ture fit through tho minds Of all
pupils and especially those Of tho
seniors who are about to complete
the first lap Of their race toward the
goal of success. Only four weeks Of
actual school work remain until the
day Of reckoning iS nt hand. This
means joy and happiness to those
who have worked faithfully; but
alas! disappointment to those who
have idled the time awny. II =
