LOCAL CONDITIONS NEED
RED CROSS
ance to Be Given by Local
People

The Red Cross roll call begins Arm
istice Day, November 18th, and while
this is a national affair. here in Skow
hegan the value of this movement has
been emphasized in the work done
for the children of the public schools.
The work in Skowhegan is carried on
through our local Red Cross school
nurse Miss Alice r. Parker, who has
been with us for -four years. 1t is
doubtful if the citizens actually rea-
lize the extent to which this public
work is carried on by the Red Cross
locally. Miss Parker occupies an
Office in the Municipal building, which
are the general headquarters for the
work A committee of local men and
women who are members of the Red
Cross organization meet frequently
to confer with the school nurse. and
take up the problems confronting her
in her service. Her duty is to visit
the schools in the town and if any pu-
pills are absent owing to illness, Ghe
investigates the cause by calling Oil
the parents and giving attention TO
the child finding out the cause lead
ing up to the condition then existing
An effort is then made to correct this
condition through proper medical or
surgical treatment At frequent in
tervales all children in the public
schools are examined and the last ex-
animation shows that in 637 children
there were 451 defects. the number Of
children with defects being $50 To
correct these it takes mony and it is
for improving these conditions that
the Red Cross money is used. Soil
citation will be made from house to
house and every street in the village
will be canvassed by men and women
under the directions OF Chairman w.
II. Hight Every citizen will be ex-
pected to do his or her part and in
SO worthy a cause local people should
not hesitate to offer their services in
the soliciting.

next meeting being on Armistice Day
and d particularly large attendance
was asked for.
DR.. c. f. Richardson spoke on his
classification and also Of his recent
attendance at clinic in New York.
He said that he felt that ii was the
duty of the physicians to acquaint the
people with the truth and that the
medical profession needs advertising
al this time in the worlds affair. He
explained this by saving that he did
not advocate advertising of particu-
lar individuals but believed thai the
public should be advised of what the
medical profession is doing and of
its stand on all subjects which re
late to the public. He believes the
profession as IA whole still lacks that
contest with the public which leads
to close friendship and better under
standing ut is essential that you
understand that the physician is not

tudinous Latin phrases and nice pink

those of former years; Of the, in

spoke of some of the new cults in

|,erville Fought Stubbornly NO Match for Local
Men. Next Game at Westbrook on Saturday

The Wateryille men fought stub
bornly but were no match for the we'll
oiled machine of the Skowhegan
boys. For Waterville Donovan star
red. but was unable to show his abili-
ty by stopping many times, hardly
before he had started.
There were fully one thousand peo-
pie at the game, a big crowd coming
up from Waterville to support their
men, The Winslow high school
team was also in attendance. while
Skowhegan turned out big for the To-
cal gridders. The fife and drum
corps were much in evidence and
were conspicuous in the parade of
victory, leading host of students
down Madison avenue To the Water
street railroad crossing. \ snake
dance was indulged in down town,
and later victory dance was held,
with big bonfire in railroad square
about 10 o'clock There was splen-
did spirit on both sides and no
trouble occurred during the game.
The accomplishment of last Satur-
day places Skowhegan high team
among the best in the state. although
Lewiston high has already laid her
claim to the championship. If Skow-
negan defeats Westbrook next Satur-
dap in the game which will be played
at Westbrook, Lewiston will then
have to give Skowhegan some con-
sideration.

SkOWhegan Artist Plays 10 Millions

Many SkOwhegan people had the
pleasure of listening to Mrs Elise
Fellows White, through Station WBI,
last Saturday evening. Mrs. White
was playing in the bah room at the
Hotel Brunswick and her pieces were
the principal events OF the concert.
Two out OF three pieces played by her
were her own composition.
Mrs. White is to give a series of
these concerts at points scattered
across the continent to and including
the Pacific coast. A telegram was
received here Tuesday morning to the
effect that her Saturday evening con-
cert was heard in England. Homo
lulu and South America Last Sun
day sne played in fremont Temple.
All of the above is very gratifying to
Mrs. Whites friends here and else
where 1t increases our wonder and
respect for radio and of course our
interest in all things pertaining there
to. 1t is certainly. one Of the marvels
of the time that we have SkOwhe-
gan artist whose playing is listened
TO by millions of her countrymen and
by people of three continents.
Mrs. White is to be in town this
week for brief visit at home before
continuing her radio work.

Kenneth Thomson Achieving Success

Many local admirers of Kenneth
Thomson, who for several seasons
has been such a fayorite with Lake
wood Theatre audiences will learn
with interest that George c. Tyler and
Hugh Ford the theatrical producers,
have announced that Kenneth Thorn
son of Pittsburgh had been engaged
to play the important role of Captain
Jack Absolute in the all-star revival
of Sheridan's comedy, THE Rivals"
This engagement marks an extra
ordinary rapid rise to eminence by
this young Pittsburgher. Mr.. Thorn
son is the son of Mrs. Edith Taylor
Thomson, manager of concert cele-
brities in this city He finished his
dramatic education at the Carnegie
Institute OF Technology five years ago
and went to New York. Since that
time he has played support of Ethel
Barrymore, Thomas A. Wise Margar-
ct Anglin and for one season was
leading man for Janet Beecher in The
Love Child" In this period he has
won reputation as an exceptionally
earnest and capable actor Every
part in 1.-The Rivals" is star part,
but the role of Captain Jack Abso-
lutte is one of particular prominence.
Mr.. Thomson has never played OF
the campus in Pittsburgh. and now he
is presented by Mr.. Tyler as co-star
with Mrs. Pike Chauncey Olcott,
Thomas A. Wise James r Powers,
Lola Fisher and Goorgette Cohan in
one OF the worlds most famous plays.
incidentally there is quite a pros
pect that Mr. Thomson may return
to the Lakewood Stock Company an
other season.
