CIVIC WELFARE
TOPIC OF R0TARIANS
AT weekly meet

The regular weekly meeting OF the
Waterville Rotary club was held yes
terday noon at the Elmwood hotel
under the direction of the committee
on public affairs. with Carroll Per-
kins acting as chairman. The sub
ject of how Waterville, Winslow and
Fairfield could coincide in public af
fairs and improvements which would
benefit each individually and the
three collectively was discussed.
Short speeches on the above subject
were given by William Reynolds of
Winslow. p. A. Smith. Fairfield and
Mayor Leon o. Tebbetts of Water
Vile. Mr.. Smith stated briefly that
everything possible was being ac-
cOmplished to have good roads be-
tween Fairfield and Waterville, and
that before another year the main
road would be a boulevard What
we need now to link the two places
closer together" said Mr.. Smith. lis
better telephone service" The tele-
phone service between tn two places
he explained was very poor and did
lot of damage.
Mr.. Reynolds started by saying
that he considered that it would be 4
fine idea to install more signboards
in Waterville and WinslOw, so that
out of State tourists would not be
led astray He then took up the mat
ter of mail order houses. saying that
he knew that large number of his
townspeople were sending to these
houses for merchandise of all de-
scriptions which was listed at lower
prices, but. he continued, the goods
are far inferior and these people
should be shown why it would be
saving money for them to buy relia
BILE merchandise at reliable home
stores. He also spoke briefly on the
road question. saying that he consld-
cred it a good idea not only to have
| good roads on tn trunk lines but on
the side highways also.
| Mayor Leon 0. Tebbetts said that
he thought that it would be a fine
thing for Waterville and the sur
rounding towns to have milk sta
ton, so that the same farmers or
! dairymen would not be covering all
the streets each day, but that the
territory could be laid out in zones
with each having certain amount
to cover. This would eXpediate and
simplify the delivery question. and
would save everybody much time and
Inconvenience.
He also thought that a produce
| market would DO Il great Help, Ho'
only for the local trade but for the
shipping as well as all vegetables and
| other produce could be brought to
! this exchange and there sorted and
graded and each would know just
; what he had sent and the amount he
would receive for his shipments.
