LAKEWOOD PLAYERS At
ROTARY CLUB
George r. 0'C0nnell, Eminent Tenor,
Sings mt the Weekly
Luncheon

There was big attendance OF Ro-
tarians at the weekly luncheon last
Tuesday and a very delightful pro
gram was presented by out of town
entertainers. r. T. Patten was the
presiding officer and he first called
upon Jack Harrington of the Lake
wood Stock Company popular
player of this season at the lake Mr..
Harrington responded and gave some
laughable French-Canadian stories
and representations, mentioning
Drummond particularly, whom he
knew. A splendid treat in music
was afforded the members and guests,
during the songs of George F. 0'Con-
nell. a tenor singer of New York. He
has toured for several years with APP
pearances in the west, but he had new
er previously sung in Maine. He is
shortly returning to New York, where
valuable musical opportunities await
him. His first number was AT
Dawning" and this was followed by
Irish and Negro selections. Mr..
O'Connell has magnificent voice
and without question he was the best
soloist who has ever sung at Rotary.
His Accomplishments were played by
Miss Geneva Smith. Warren Hymer
Of New York. son of ]. b. Hymer, the
playwright followed and added much
10y to the occasion by giving several
humorous stories, those in negro dia-
lect being especially appreciated.
Nicholas Joy of New York, who was
born in Paris and has had dramatic
experience in London, as we'll as ex-
tensive experience in this country,
now a member of the Lakewood Stock
Company told a group of extremely
funny English stories, which he i'm
personated admirably. Differing from
the usual form of entertainment, the
presence Of the several gentlemen and
their varied program, was hugely en-
loved by their audience. Among the
visitors were c. II. Sawyer and H.
G. Kilkenny, two Rotarians from
Concord, n. H., although neither
knew that the other was to be pres
ent, Stanley A. Gillespie of Green
Vile, Pa was another Rotarian pres
ent. having come down from Parlin
Pond especially for the meeting.
Fred c. Malin of Bangor and DIR. W.
S. Stinchfield were among the other
visitors.

THE NEW HOTEL PROPOSITION

The hotel question is pretty much
the leading theme of conversation
round town at the present time, on
and on it has been since the partial
burning of Hotel Coburn in 1918. but
with the proposition of the Post Hotel
Corporation, interest has increased
and numerous meetings of some of
the reliable citizens of the community
have been held The result is. COM
mittee has been appointed TO look aft
er the organization details. Things
have even gone SO far that elsewhere
in this issue, We are publishing
picture of the new hotel. We are all
anxious for another hostelry in
Skowhegan, not forgetting the three
hotels, which have stood in the gap
and have bridged over the lack of the
old time facilities. but we need
fourth. The citizens need it locally
for themselves. and they need it for
their visitors. The town itself needs
1t as another Improvement on the
very spot where the remnants OF the
once beautiful Hotel Coburn have so
long been an eye sore, in the best
part of 1onr town. Now has come
the opportunity. The Post concern
Is doing its part in the expense and
1t is up to the citizens to furnish
forty per cent of the cost of the new
building. We know that you have
been solicited from for everything,
from food sale up to big philanthro
pic funds, as well as the recent CO.
burn Park Fund, but this is a little
different. This isn't charity, but a
bonded proposition, the results of
which will be most useful to the COM
munity at large, bring more business
into the town, attract more tourists.
and there are but few attractions,
which a town can offer that are more
heartily received than good hotel ac-
commodations. and lastly it should be
a good investment. Such movements
always need a rigid scrutiny. but this
one would seem to bear inspection.
We had better build the new hotel.

THE WORLDS ONLY HOPE
(By r. T. Patten)

10y ~ L dlLCby
If the teachings of the Christian
religion could become Immediately
and completely effective, every woe
now affecting mankind would disap-
pear, never to return. 1t is also
true, though perhaps not so striking
ly obvious. that the extent to which
the Golden Rule prevails will be just
the measure of the happiness of the
race. These things being granted,
we must of necessity lend our aid
and our sympathy to the principal
agency which has been battling for
two thousand years to bring about
this highly desirable change in hui
man affairs.
The above Is only one way of say
ing that, If sefishness could be COM
pletely banished, men would live hap
PLY for ever after. tt must not be
taken for granted that the church is
the only agency engaged in the strife
against greed. Fortunately there are
many other helpful factors, but of the
activities we know, religion has un-
doubtedly seen longer service and
may be assigned the place of leader
ship.
The Golden Rule can never become
completely effective in an ignorant
world. Intelligence must go on be-
fore in the march Of progress. Hence,
the importance of all forms of secular
instruction and the tendency to men
ton the school and the church as
companion agencies in the work of
civilization. Undoubtedly a third
factor should be mentioned, the trinl-
ty thus created being the school, the
church and the press. but in the pub
lie mind they are not commonly
thought of in that way.
1t seems a great pity that SO many
generations have come upon earth,
lived their appointed time and faded
into oblivion. realizing SO little of
the happiness which this world Is
abundantly able to bestow. 1t seems
even a sadder thing that we of the
present generation, knowing even bet
ter than our forbears, what life
might be, should pass through it fall
ing so far short of the possibilities
of this earthly state. 1t Is a dis
heartening and saddening contempla-
ton which the serious mind faces
when we think upon the future. For
we must judge by the past and the
present that many generations are yet
to come and go before men shall
learn to live the life of perfect happi-
ness which would be easily possible.
Regrets are vain, but the individual
cannot be blamed for heart sickness
when he compares his puny powers
with the seemingly gigantic task of
setting this poor old world on the
right track. We must remember,
however. that we differ from the
beasts of the field only because of our
faith In heavenly salvation and our
hope and belief in the ultimate tri-
umph of the race over the malign
tendencies of human nature.
An existence that contributes, ever
so little. to the final race-perfection
which will. in the very distant future,
prevail on this good old planet, may
be called successful. life which
can be credited with nothing toward
that end, is CHASTITY failure, and of
1t could be appropriately said: "It
were better for that man had he never
been born"

COrnyllle Man Injured In Building
Collapse

The collapse of the main building
of a $1,000,000 group under construc-
tion for the Branch River Wool Comb
ing Company, caused injuries to 80
persons. ~ of whom were taken to
hospitals. 1t was said one laborer
might die. There were so men in
and about the structure when the
steel frame and supports of the saw
tooth roof buckled, dropping a large
portion of the roof to the ground. The
arm of one man was severed. Many
escaped by running, a man on tow
err having seen indications of the col
lapse in time to give the alarm. The
name of Ivor 0gala, 35, of Cornville.
was among those injured, the news
stating that he received injury to his
right arm and left leg.
