STATE HOUSE
NEXT A. NJ, Tuesday, April q

Principals at Augusta on April II.
Several matters regarding athletics
are likely to come up and am sure
there will be other business of inter-
est and importance.
1.-THE work Of the Association Is
not confined to the matter Of Sec
ondary school athletics. While
clearly demonstrating its efficiency
in handling this situation, the As
ISOLATION is promoting several other
important matters. The National
School Honor Society is gradually
taking root among the schools of the
state. We have now seven society
chapters. Others are likely to be de-
veloped as the schools begin to find
out their meaning and Importance.
The Association Is cooperating with
the State Department on important
matters like the conference program
maintenance Of scholarship stand
ards. college relations, and other
similar items.
IT an. mentioning these matters in
order that you man better appreciate
the importance of the Association
and realize that membership in II
carries with 1t responsibility and
definite advantage to the principal
and his school. I trust you will be
with US at the Principals Confer
ence."

Belgrade Lakes. Me-. April s-A
true monarch of the forest has bit
the dust or perhaps to be more lit
eral, has fallen into the snow as
Clyde E. Tillson of Belgrade Lakes
has recently cut down a tree which
was 100 feet tall as it reared its
branches higher than any other tree
in that patch of woods. The tree is
of the so-called pumpkin pine va
riety.
Mr. Tillson religiously counted the
rings in the cross section Of the
monster and it was decided that the
tree is fully 1877 years old. 1t topped
off 90 feet and out of it, Mr.. Tillson
got 1904 feet of lumber. The butt
log, Il feet long, sawed up 500 feet
of lumber.
The folks around Belgrade Lakes
region are of the opinion that the
tree chopped down on the Tillson
land Is the largest in the county as
they have yet to hear of bigger one.
