easily ran away with the honors for
the best children's costume and was
made happy by an award. During
the course Of the evening an elimi-
nation dance was given which was
won by Mr.. Edward Lewis and Miss
Rogers. An innovation which made
q hit with the dancers, as well as the
onlookerS, was the installation Of a
large electrically lighted moon in the
rear Of the hall which diffused q
golden glow over the dancers. Dur
ing one dance the hall was trans
formed into fairyland by the use of
serpentine confetti which was dis
tributed to the couples as they en-
tered the doorway. and which was
thrown by them over the rafters. 1t
was certainly fine party and at its
close three cheers were given for the
man who, by his unselfish giving of
his time and labor, has made this
event thing looked forward to
from year to year-Walter R. DOH

Ocean Point Governing Board Meets
The new governing BOARD OF tho
Ocean Point Association held an i'm
portant meeting Saturday afternoon.
Much business was transacted and a
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES adopted,
which, when put into effect, will do
much for Ocean Point and add ma
terially to the comfort and we'll be-
in gof its summer people. The
president was authorized to name a
standing committee on entertain
ment for the year, consisting of ten
men and women. 1t is meant that
III oh f,yr
make and carry cut plans for the
the Casino. The board intends to
put much responsibility on the
younger set and will go far in an
attempt to meet the needs Of the
young people. Among the many
suggestions adopted as a part of the
forward looking program is that of
a children's playground to be start
ed on the vacant lots owned by. the
Association and adjoining the Casino
and tennis courts. A beginning will
be made early next summer and
additions made as the needs of the
children are seen. The president
was authorized to secure the services
! of a, competent caretaker for next
season who will have charge of the
Casino, tennis courts and pool room.
| 1t is believed that n well equipped
young man will make good in this
position and will be able to promote
worthwhile activities. 1t was voted
to put up road signs between Wis
cassett and Ocean Point and to have
an ocean Point" sign at the steam
Soat landing. It was decided to pay
attention to our bathing beaches and
to make needed improvements. I'M
provements on the Casino are con-
templated by the board involving a
possible enlargement, plumbing and
interior decoration. Perhaps the
biggest item in the new and rather
I ambitious program is the proposal
to install street lights from the
steamboat landing to Grimes Cove,
with special attention to the many
dangerous curves and dark corners
along the Shore Road. 1t is be-
lieved by many that no other one
| Improvement will do so much Tor
Ocean Point. The new program Will
cost something and this fact has
been faced by the board. The town
! Of Boothbay will be asked to in
crease it's appropriation for Ocean
Point at least in sufficient amount to
| take care of the lights. An attempt
will he made to sell new stock of the
Association at S. per share, ard a
we'll or:;ar lied effort Will he raGe
| to co'!ctt cash subscriptions o. 81

PASS Their summers here.
