Enviable Record
G.. Strickland, 43
Years Baggagemaster

Charles Strickland. who recently
resigned from the position of bag

station in Hallowell. served in that
capacity for 43 years. He succeeded
Frank Choate. who was the first per-

Mr.. Strickland came to the position
aS baggage master at the time when
Judge Gilman was station agent
here. He has been an efficient and
courteous employee well liked by the
travelling public. In the course OF his
long service he has known most Hal
lowell citizens and speeded them on
their various ways.
Mr.. Strickland was born in Vas

land and Lydia (Taber) Strickland of
that town. He received his educa =

the position. Mr. Meader has been
connected with the NJ. c. II. r. in
various capacities for a long period
Of time, nearly 80 years. For about

TRAP SHOOTERS TO
have EQUIPMENT
At COUNTRY CLUB

With the completion Of present plans
there will he a splendid trapshooting
equipment installed on the grounds of
the Augusta Country Club, and the de-
voices OF the scatter shooting at the
clay birds will find ample opportunity
to try their skill at the country club
this summer.
The committee on trapshootinr. con-
sisting of Leigh d. Flynt. Theodore
Emery and Danforth l.. Nash. has To-
Gated a site for the trap pit and plat
form south of the clubhouse and about
midway between the house and Ham,
mond's Grove. The shooters will face
east towards Manchester with n wide
expanse Of open field before them. The
skyline Is low. giving the clay birds
great visibility. The location is con-
venient to the state road and cars may
be parked back of the shooting plat
form or the grounds, by entering on
the Hammond's Grove road. The site
Is enough removed to assure protec-
tion and there will be a marked abb
sence of noise heard at the clubhouse
from the firing.
Details of the trap equipment are
under consideration ana the committee
will secure estimates on the cost OF
building a wooden trap house or one OF
cement. An improved automatic trap
