Current Events Club
Hears Illustrated
Lecture on Bridges

An interesting illustrated lecture
by Llewellyn n. Edwards, bridge en-
gineer for the State Highway de-
partment was delivered Friday af-
ternoon before the members of the
Augusta Current Events club. Mr..
Edwards in his talk before showing
the pictures told of the difference
between tho strength necessary in a
bridge today, and that required
that at that time no one had any
idea of the coming rapid develop
ment of trucks and of tho rapidly
moving heavy duty type of truck
which would be in operation at the
present day. He also spoke of the
fact that the demand for better
roads is causing many to lose sight
of the fact that bridges must be
constructed to carry the heavier
loads which are constantly increas-
ing both in number and weight. :,
The development of the State and
County Aid law and its application
to the construction of bridges as
we'll as the intent of legislation now
pending was also taken up by Mr..
Edwards.
The pictures were then shown. il
Illustrating the value of the proper
design of bridge for the dutis that
it is to perform and the necessity OF
sound material and sound work
manship to make the bridges strong
and capable of lasting in their con-
slant fight against the elements. He
said that the bridges being made by
the commission were of the plain
est kind and it was his opinion that
while a bridge might we'll be made
pleasing to the eye. it was not nee
essary or desirable to make it elab-
crate.
After a short business meeting of
the Club Miss Aline Johnson played
two very enjoyable piano solos. The
lecture by Mr.. Edwards was then
listened to with great interest by
the ladies' who thanked Mr.. Edwards
very enthusiastically for his efforts.

The Pure Food law with its SAM
tary clause has long ago proved its
worth and justified its existence in
safeguarding the public health. As
Tor the food and drug law, Maine has

the killing and marketing Of meat
products in interstate affairs with a
similarity or an analogy to the Unit
