Norridgewock has always been
friendly to the Citizens Band and
members of that organization now
have a very substantial way Of show
ing their fricndlincss and enthusiasm
for that town by participating in her
benefit Fourth Of July celebration and
races
They have arranged to play in Nor
ridgewocll during the forenoon and
for the races in the afternoon and
for price which is about one-third
of their usual fee. This is made pos
sible by the generosity of the Somer-
set County members, who seem anX-
ious to show their sympathy for our
sister town in that way
The Boy Scouts Drum Corps will
also entertain fNr the forenoon in
Norridgewdck and take part in the
parade. They have been training
under Mr.. Jenkins for several weeks
but their repertoire is not extensive
enough to warrant their playing both
forenoon and afternoon. These
youngsters. also, are very happy in
the idea of taking part in Norridge
wocks great Fourth of July benefit
celebration.

have the new state road in usable

who wished to go and come from Nor

Pleasant Evening at the Sampson
Garage


George E. Sampson has been maxi
ing numerous improvements at his
home on Maple street and about the
property, which he owns just oppo-
site. This consists of grading and
laying out walks, all of which gives
Maple street in that vicinity very
dressed-up appearance.
Not necessarily as a part of the
changes already referred to but going
on co-ineident with them has been
the erection of a fine, two-car garage
AS this approached completion George
determined that before the machines
were run in to take the whiteness off
from that beautiful clean, new floor
ned have a dance and invite his
friends to participate, so a very jolly
company gathered there last Saturday
evening Among them were includ-
ed Mr.. and Mrs. Sampson, host and
hostess, their son Ned, and daughter
Gertrude, with the employees at the
sampson drug store. Maple street
neighbors and friends from all over
town completed the list of guests
Dancing was the prominent feature
but there was otherwise much to en-
joy, including refreshments of punch,
fancy waters and ice cream. Mas
ter Waldron kennison was present
with his parents and entertained the
company with several readings done
with pep and style not often possible
to lad of six years. The build
ing will now be turned over to
a long life of usefulness as an auto
mobile home but those who run ma
chimes in and out in future years,
should feel contented with the thot
that the structure was properly open
ed and dedicated on Saturday, the 9TH
of June, 1924.

Craftsmanship Choice for Cleveland
Convention to Be Indicated
by April 80.
LOWDEN WELL OUT IN FRONT
Hughes, Willis, Dawes, Borah and
Pepper Mentioned.

Selections for the temporary and
permanent chairInanships of the Re-
publican national convention are be-
ing given considerable thought by
President Coolidge. and he is ex-
pected to make known his prefer
ences before next Wednesday, when
the national committees subcommit-
tee on arrangements will meet al
Cleveland.
The President conferred with q
number of political leaders on the
subject while in New York to ad
dress the annual luncheon of the AS
sociated Press, but desired to con-
slider the matter further here before
making a decision. He is understood
to be devoting chief attention tc
the temporary Craftsmanship, since
the man selected for that post usually
sounds the campaign keynote.
Former Gov. Lowden of Illinois is
regarded by some as a likely choice
temporary chairmanship. This opin-
ion is based on the expectation that
the President will favor the selec-
tion of a western or middle western
man not connected officially with the
administration. others under con-
sideration are said to include Secre-
tary Hughes, Senator Willis of Ohio,
Charles G. Dawes. Representative
Longworth of Ohio, Senator Borah

POLITICS INVOLVED
By the Associated Press,

: London, March 27.-So seriously
does the government regard the situa-
stion created by continuance of the
1rsm alG bus strike and the apparent
ly inevitable entry c. the subway men
into the fight tomorrow night, accord
ing to several newspapers that a privy
council has been called for today to
consider proclaiming q condition of
national emergency"
Some papers say that issuance Of
The proclamation has already been de-
.cided upon and that the meeting has
been summoned so the kings formal
consent may be given. The king has
gone to Knowsley for the grand ma
tional steeplechase tomorrow and it
is stated that the privy council will
meet there.
.. If a state of emergency is pro-
claimed it will be under the provisions
of the emergency powers act of 1920,
which, when invoked, confers upon
the government virtually the same
powers as the notorious war time de-
tense of the realm act.
Gives Wide Powers.
It enables the government, subject
10 the approval of parliament to make
wide and compulsory provisions for
the safety and life of the community,
including taking over control of any
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1924-03-27

public service, using army and navy
lorries therefor and Communicating
private vehicles and materials for the
same purpose. The act wsS last put
into operation during the miners
strike of 1920.
Such step would bring the present
Labor government into conflict with
large section of their supporters, whose
opposition to the act is we'll known.
The House of Commons tomorrow
debates the second reading OF the
London traffic bill, which promises
to furnish serious snags for the gov
ernment and seems quite unlikely to
receive rapid passage. Many Labor
ties and most Liberals oppose. the
measure and the government will have
to depend on the conservatives 10
push it through. Even the latter are
uncertain as regards some provisions
of the bill.
May Try Civilian Aid.
1t is assumed that if the subway
men strike their action will not be
unanimous as a number do not be-
long TO the transport union but in anw
case there are enough transport union
members to cripple services badly if
they walk out.
! 1t is stated that in this event an
effort will be made to run the trains
with civilian aid. as was done with
considerable success in 1920.
The reported threat Of the electrical
trades union to join the strike and cut
off London's entire electric light and
power supply is unconfirmed, and is
regarded in some quarters as unlikely.
Meanwhile the public and the bulk
of the press, is getting pretty hot
against the strikers, declaring their
action is tyrannical and direct and
not against the employers but against
the people. The anger will certainly
be accentuated if the tubes and other
underground systems are stopped as
this will force hundreds of thousands
of Londoners to walk many miles be-
tween their homes and places of bust
ness.
Considerable political feeling also
has been injected into the controversy
and rumors abound looking to such
political action as would cause the
overthrow of the government, which
is already subject to strong criticism.
