AUGUSTA AS GUESTS,
OF ROTARY CLUB

Nearly 1000 boys from Waterville
Fairfield and Winslow. riding in 300
automobiles, went to August ayester-
day afternoon as the guests of the
Waterville Rotary club. This was
a part of the program Of Boys Week
that Is being observed by the Rotary
clubs throughout the nation.
The schools closed at 3 O'Clock and
even before that time cars began to
line up. The start of the procession
was at Post Office square. At this
corner five streets converge. College
avenue, Center, Elm. Upper and
Lower Main streets. On the first
four the autos lined up and each
line stretched far back out OF sight
At $50 the signal was given and the
procession started to move. Ten
minutes later every car had crossed
the Ticonic bridge and was away on
the 2O-mile trip to the State capital.
It was indeed a fine sight to see the
hundreds of cars crammed with
eager, smiling youngsters. Hundreds
of citizens lined the streets to wit
ness the parade. which was more
than a mile long. Practically every
pleasure car in the city was pressed
into the service and Nat Barrows.

to say that the affair was complete
success.
Less than an hour afterwards the
long line of cars began to roll into
Augusta and they proceeded directly
to the State House. Here tour OF
inspectibn was started. Nothing was
left out from the cupola to the mu-
scum. The boys took special inter-
est in the State House restaurant,
where they were guests at a lunch

unable to be present on account Of
business. but there was so much to
see and do in the short time the boys
nearly forgot this disappointment IN
viewing the many wonders in the
state House. Although Augusta Is
only 20 miles from Waterville there
were a great many boys who had
never visited the State capital and
these boys found especial JOY In the
novel sights and experiences. ABOUT
o'clock the first cars began to re-
turn, bringing many happy. young
stars. talking and laughing about the
experiences that will be long re-
membered.

to military and Association rule, in
thorough sympathy with the Asso-

the women should work at the ports,
with the Service of Supply, and in
the training areas.
What did the women do in France?
The first recruits were intended as
canteen workers. but canteen service
came to cover the multitude of ac-

judgment would undertake for any
group of young men away from
home. First OF all they brought to

was some hesitance but the ultimate
result was proof that complete

active participants.

ing to every need within their power.
Even the chauffeur's job was theirs
at times.
In the advance zone the women
workers experienced the hardships
of the troops, serving in towns
where nightly bombing or shelling
made it necessary for all hands to
60 out into the fields to sleep. They
were billeted in unheated rooms, and
at times had to forage for their
food.
The women from America were
ably supported in England, France
ard Italy by the women of the
American colonies in all these coun-
tries. A most significant develop
nnent OF the war was the proof that
the right kind of woman may live
in military camps not only without
harm to herself but with measure
less benefit to the men. The soldiers
gave the uttermost respect and per-
feet loyalty and comradeship. 1t was
a new thing in welfare work and
the result was good. Now and then.

the women of America will see to
it that their soldiers are given every
incentive toward decent living.
This experience has been gained
for future service with soldiers and
sailors. Its application to civil and
industrial life is obvious. The right
kind of women can render a SER
vice of measureless good wherever
groups of men are gathered away
from home influence.
