Goodbye old Nineteen and twenty
three,
We hate to see you go,
For to some you have brought glad
ness and joy,
And to others sadness and woe.
We welcome you Nineteen hundred
and twenty-four
With a glad and joyful heart
And may each one resolve this day
To do his or her part
Toward making this a year of peace
and love to one and all,
And in every thought and act and
deed,
Do the will of God to all.

an extremely hot day right away
then It might be somewhat sticky

weather conditions are very unfa-

Surface treatment will probably

The applying of tar will begin In
Topsham today on the three-mile

Tar is being applied In Newcastle
and Damariscotta.
Tar surface treatment Is complet-
ed between Portland and Kittery.
Should not expect the tar to be
sticky unless we have an extremely

of tar on account of its being so
cold.
Tar operations will be begun in

Route No. 10 Nearly
Complete Now From
Palisade to Edgew'r

1t will be another month before
Route No. 10, from Palisade to Edge
water, will be finished. The State
Commission is putting on a
new reinforced concerto surface, lay
ing it on top of the former temporary
surface, which will be about one foot
thick, thus affording better view of
the Hudson river and New York. The
road surface is being added one-half
of the full width of the highway, so
that traffic could use one side as a
one-way road. The right side, going
down, is now all complete, but as it
has to settle and dry for two weeks,
the finished side will not be thrown
open until about August 2 or 8. The
other side will then be quickly put
down and the work will make it one
of the finest road surfaces in the
world. The reinforcement process is
through the laying of heavy steel
mattresses on the broken stone foun-
dation laid in asphaltum, the concrete
being then poured On the steel mat
tress for durability Something for
midable in construction was necessary
to counteract the terrific wear from
the impact of heavy trucks. Contrac-
tor McGarry has certainly performed
well on this particular job. 1t is

AT the regular meeting of the Hack

CATION from the Ridgewood Rotary
Club attended, headed by Judge Do
remus. There were delegations from
other clubs in the county, making all
together large attendance. In a
brief but eloquent address Judge Do
remus presented the greetings of the
Ridgewood Rotarians and stressed the
deep appreciation felt by the members
of his club for the valuable assistance
afforded by the Hackensack Club in
the establishment of the Ridgewood
Rotary. He then presented set of
resolutions, handsomely engrossed
and framed. He spoke at length on
rotary and its influence, of what it
stood for, not only locally but
throughout the world, and made spe-
cial reference to the work of Interna-
tional Rotary, due particularly to the
power and influence for good which
radiated from rotary because of the
principles upon which it is founded.
He cited Instances which had come
under his personal observation since
he became a rotarian and active in the
work. The address was enthusiastic
ally received. President Hughes ac-
cepted the resolutions in happy lit
tie speech and spoke of the warmth
of friendship among rotarians.

One of the main troubles of becom-
ing too familiar with subject is that
we have tendency to overlook it's
main points. They say of the average
Metropolitan that he has seen less and
knows less of his native New York
than the average visitor of two days
standing. And so it is with the mas
sive pool at Palisades Amusement
Park
For years we have seen it adver
tised in the newspapers, on billboards
and in other ways and becoming used
to it we slight it's main points.
Imagine, if you will, body of water,
perched high on the cliffs overlooking
the Hudson, body of water that has
been pumped through pipes that
stretch to the Atlantic and then
passes through six huge ultraviolet
ray filters before passing into the
tank. On one side mass of huge
trees and the other sandy beach.
An inland salt water sea.
And yet we fail to grasp it's sig
nificance merely because we have be-
come familiar with it. To the out-of-
towner it is marvellous. An engineer
ing feat that ranks with the mightiest.
Lifting bodily a mass of water and
placing it on top of a cliff, purifying
