Wish Set Straight
Health Attitude
Not With Brewster

=
To the kennebec Journal:
Dear Sir:-We have just learned
from Mr.. Ralph O. Brevster's Office
that his reply TO letter from Mrs.
s L White of Houlton. asking for Mr..
Brewster's stand on matters of health.
has been used by him as campo en
material for all the doctors of Maine.
In this letter, Mr.. Brewster states:
an drafting the health provisions
for the new charter for the City Of
Portland. / sought the advice OF Mrs
Hilda Ives and Mrs. Small, the wife OF
DR.. Richard D. Small, and drafted the
provisions exactly in accordance with
their recommendations. believing that
they were sincerely and intelligently
interested in these problems"
The statement itself is accurate,
but the impression conveyed might be
very misleading; the use of names in
a political letter by a candidate might
imply to the average person OF honor
that the persons so quoted were in
sympathy with the candidacy Of the
writer, particularly might this he true

writer had had personal interviews
with these persons and had embodied
their ideas on health in City Charter.

Charles A StroutS office at which
were present Mrs. +. n. Small. Mr.. c.

Thomas Tetreau and Mrs. Howard +.

ence was limited to purely sdministra-
tive problems OF health. such as num-
Der of members for health hoard. re-
lstion OF boards of health TO other
departments, etc. Control
OF disease and constructive health pro
grams were never discussed In any

Season Of Rain, Twisters And

The arrival of March will be watched closely because of the lamb-lion adage about its departure. Y Clear skies, fair, weather and con- iinuing moderate temperatures are the ingredients in the report of E, c. Hor- ton, weather bureau head, for Satur- day, auguring ill for the disposition of the last of the month.
 February, which passed out quietly Ras March entered, was distinctive for two pretty good rainstorms during bureau records show. In the first place, it was two degrees colder for the average per day than is usual, and second, it was wetter.
 The moisture resulted largely from two pretty good rain storms during the month and then, too, there was 4 ecuple of thuAtaershowers and . snow storm, which figured heavily in the

JEFFERSON BANK WILL PAY CLAIMS
Arrangements Made To Settle
 Just Accounts

Provision is made for payment of all just claims against the Jefferson County bank, including interest on deposits by an order of chancrey issued Friday af. tcrnoon by. Judge William M. Walker in compliance with petition filed some time ago by A. sE. Jackson, state super intendent of banks of Alabama.
 All dpeositors have already been re- imbufsed for the amount of their j,de- posits at the time of the banks collapse >and the order of Judge Walker was. con cerned for the most part with settlement of claims for interest on such deposits
 Mir. Jackson was directed, first of all to pay $10,000 due Kinzea E.; Stone, to- gether with all accrued costs, was also directed to pay $7, ,587 .72 to the National Bank of Commerce in New York City in full, settlement of this company's claims against the Jefferson County bank. These are said to be the only claims against the bank involving repayment of principal that have not been settled.
 Settlements for the amounts of inter- est due will be made with all savings de- positors and others. These claimants will have an option between two plans of payment, each selecting whichever one he prefers.
 It was pointed out friday afternoon that already 4 per cent of the depositors have expressed their willingness to ac- cept one of the two plans suggested and all the others are expected to do so. This arrangement provides for paying every -depOsitor dollar for dollar on his deposit, plus interest, as well as payment for between 70 and 75 per cent of the total amount invested in the banks
