TOFiX Brunswick Ave.
County Acts to Start Paving
Work from City Line to
Rogan's Corner
NEW BRUNSWICK, May 81

NEW BRUNSWICK, May 2:- :
Officials of Woodbridge township
will be notified by the Board of
Freeholders today to put New
Brunswick avenue, between the
Perth Amboy city line and Rogan's
Corner, in proper shape forthwith to
permit the laying of the proposed
new pavement. The road IS expect
ed to be in satisfactory condition not
later than next Wednesday accord
ing to the edict of the county body.
At that time a committee of the
board will inspect the condition of
the roadway preparatory to receiv-
ing bids on the paving job and MAX
ing the award on the Thursday fol-
lowing.
Freeholder Walter Quakenbush,
who was the instigator of the action,
declared, 1T is high time something
is done on that road, and about time
that the officials of that municipality
quit throwing hot air, but make 1t
possible to get some work done.
New Brunswick avenue has been
practically impossible for months,
and though it is a county road the
freeholders have failed to take any
ueunlte dCtlOn WuiSu WOuiu iSiiiSos
conditions.
In marked contrast to the usual
procedure on work of this Kind, the
township permitted a contractor to
make the road unfit for use without
first going to the formality of OBJ
tanning the permission of the county
or providing a bond to insure the re-
laying of the roadway. These details
were left unattended until ditch
had been opened for the entire length
of the road.
After the opening of the road and
the laying of sewer pipes. the dirt
was dumped back but never leveled
or settled. according to a previous
report on the work by t'reeholder
Quak enbush. Under the terms OF
the belated agreement entered in by
the two municipal bodies, a watch
man was TO be provided at either
end of the road to assist motorists
in getting through the impossible
stretch, but this detail was evidently
overlooked and numerous trafflc
jams and near accidents have result
ed.
With the speed usually made in
road building operations in this vi
cinity it is considered hardly likely
that this portion of the main road
between Perth Amboy and New
Brunswick will be repaved and
available for use before the end of
the summer.

Chief Tonnesen informed the prose-
cutor that his investigation in this
city availed nothing, and that all he
had was hearsay evidence. The
prosecutor was informed that sex
eral persons who attended the enter
tainment were questioned by the
chief, but that they told of nothing
out of the ordinary.
The prosecutor asked the chief If
he had list of names of persons
who were there and the chief replied
that he did not. Then the proseeu-
tor informed the police head that
the fullest cooperation of his Office
would be offered if a list of names
was obtained. The chief promised
to have same by the early part or

Cooking Demonstration Next We'd
neSday

On next Wednesday, June II, an
electric cooking demonstration viii
be held in the Grange Hall under the
auspices of the Skowhegan Sorosis
Club, to which every woman in Show
hogan and vicinity it most cordially
invited.
This demonstration will be given by
Miss Josephine A. Colts, formerly OF
Miss Farmers School of Cooking,
Boston. She is domestic science
expert of national reputation and has
a wide circle of friends here in Maine,
During the "Better Homes Week
held in greater Boston this spring
Miss Colts gave daily demonstrations
in horticultural Hall which was
crowded daily by the women OF
greater Boston who were Interested
in better cooking.
The Skowhegan Sorosis Club with
the cooperation of Central Maine
Power Company has secured MISS
Colts to give the same demonstration
here in Skowhegan. During the ne
monstration Miss Colts prepares many
recipes while brining out many new
and interesting points in regard to
cooking all of which tend to assist the
house wife to make herself an expert
in the gentle art OF cooking
One of the important features in
connection with this demonstration Is
the fact that Miss Colts uses an elect
rio range in cooking the many new
recipes that she uses, some OF whlch
are Pimento Beef Loaf. Franconia
Potatoes and and Graham Nut Muhlns'
For the woman who has never seen
an electric range in operation and the
results obtained from it this feature
will be of great interest.
Although invitations have been sent
out to Club members general invita-
ton is extended to everyone in SHOW
hogan and vicinity, who is Interested
in better cooking, to attend this de-
monstratiOn.

PROTESTANT CHURCHES
UNITE FOR SUMMER
Vacation Period VIII Have General
Program as During the Past
TwO Years

Rev George Merriam, Rev. George
Loring Thurlow and Rev. II. l.. Mich
OILS, the respective pastors of the Beth
any Baptist Federated First Baptist
and Congregational and the Centen-
airy Methodist Church, met Tuesday
at the Methodist parsonage and made
plans for Sunday services this sum
mer. They decided to follow the
general program of the past two
years. The vacation period will be
July and August. Union services of
these three parishes will be held the
first three Sundays at the Bethany
Baptist Church, with Rev. George
Loring Thurlow as preacher. The
next three union services will he held
in the Centenary Methodist Church
with Rev. George Merriam as preach
err and the last three in August at the
Federated Church with Rev. II. l..
Nichols as preacher. The church
where the services are held will pro-
vide for the music and each church
will furnish its own envelopes for the
offerings, any loose offerings to be
equally divided between the three
parishes. This program has given
general satisfaction in the past and
doubtless will this year as by this
manner Skowhegan will not, at any
time be without preaching services.

Rolling Poultry Houses
Beneficial to Keepers

Poultry houses on wheels are not
popular in the United States, but II
may be beneficial to some poultry
keepers to know little more about
such houses. On every farm are tracts
of land where during certain periods
of the year there is much food for the
hens, but which will be wasted un-
less the flock is moved out to the
fields. Dragging houses around on
runners is not n popular job but they
are quite easily moved when mounted
on wheels. A house on wheels can
be used as brooder house, laying house,
or for special matings, and is especial
ly adapted for hospital use as 1t can
readily be moved away far enough to
protect the healthy birds from infec-
tion. The construction Is very simple
all that is needed is just an axle and
couple of wheels. Most every farm
er has some old wheels around his
place, which he may never use for any
other purpose and an old axle usually
can be found also. If the axle is To-
Gated so that the house will be fairly
well balanced on 1t it can readily be
handled on two wheels, IL not too

Thinning of Peach Crop
Essential to Success

The thinning of the peach crop is
one of the essentials to success that
is too often neglected. Just as soon
as the June drop is over, and before
the pits have time to harden, Is the
best time to thin. Go over all over
loaded trees and thin out the peaches.
leaving them not less than six inches
apart. Take each branch and thin
it down to what 1t will carry with
out being overtaxed, and soon no two
peaches will crowd together. There
is very little danger of OVERRIDING the
thinning, because when the average
grower sees the ground covered with
peaches he gets the idea that he is
pulling off too many, when in most
cases it would pay him to pull OFF a
few more. BY thinning you save the
vitality Of the tree and give 1t better
chance to form fruit buds for the fol-
lowing season. And when the crop ma
lures you will harvest as many BUSH
els. If not more, of large, well-devel-
oped peaches. than could be produced
by the unthlnned tree overloaded with
small. inferior fruit. The higher price
on the market, and the reputation for
predicting large. flrst-class fruit will
more than pay for your extra effort.
