The airplane being shipped here

fiat 25 per cent cut in existing rates,
making the maximum 37l2 per cent
on incomes over 100000. The mini

one mile out of Waterville towards

members Of the government were
enthusiastic about Offering the re-

ter. in seconding the motion for the

that he heartily endorsed the idea.
The resolution is as follows:
Be it resolved: Whereas it is

ple have been assessed since the
beginning of time.
Later in the evening an interesting
discussion was held on the question
as to whether women should pay a
poll tax or not. Here followed a
lively argument. Some members de-
clared that it was woman's duty
to pay poll taxes as well as men. be-
cause she now has the privilege to
vote. Others strongly reasoned that
in the majority Of situations. the
men would have to furnish the money
to pay the taxes in the family and It

RESUME OF WORK
DONE BY LOCAL
RED CROSS CORPS

The following statement has been
issued from the office of the Red Cross
in regard to local work done by this
organization:
Since November. 1928, the Red Cross
has served on an average of IS differ
cnt EXService mems families per
month, and 30 civilian families in the
City of Waterville or its branches.
The Red Cross worker has made on
an average of - calls a month, inolud
ing home, visits. and sources OF in
formation. and cooperation, and has
received ON an average of IS Office
calls per month
The work of the Waterville Chapter
of the Red Cross cannot be recounted
in cold figures alone, and the word
cali does not convey much unless
YOU know its meaning. An illustra-
ton of the kind of work We have been
doing is the following case. A man
vho had served in one of our allied
armies came in to our office one day,
and asked if there was anything we
could or if we could recommend any
organization which would help him
He had been examined by a local ply
stefan and told that he had tubercu-
losis. both lungs being slightly affect
he would probably recover. but if he
let it so there was no hope for him.
He had wife and four small children,
the oldest being seven years old, and
he was in despair as to what would
happen to them. and of course refused
to take treatment until they were pro-
,ided for.
Through the Red Cross a plan was
worked out whereby the man is get
ting the prescribed treatment, and has
every chance of becoming a self-sup-
porting citizen again. His family is
being kept together and provided for
and unless something very unexpected
occurs this family will be reunited and
independent again in the spring.
Then there was the case of a Wa
terville man who because of his phys
zeal condition. had not been able to
work regularly for over a year, and
had let the bills pile up till they were
way up in the hundreds. His case
was taken up with the Veterans Bu-
reau. he was sent to a Government
Hospital. where he will get the best
of treatment Compensation was Sc
cured for him. and for his family, and

need. ard paying off some of the back

There are the cases of delinquent
girls. who come to us in their trouble,
feeling that they haven't a friend in
the world. at time when they need
them more than ever before. The Red
Cross becomes their friend at this
time. plans for their care, and after
wards helps them to become adjusted
into the community again.
Besides our case work which Is done
for both Ex-Service and civilian fami-
lies. the Red Cross tries to carry on
activities which will be of civic value.
