Governors OF about ~ states will
be the guests of the citizens of Wa
terville on Wednesday afternoon,
July l, at about $50 o'clock. It was
announced yesterday morning after
a meeting of the reception commit
tee at the city building. The gov

at the annual governors conference
and they will be entertained else
where as we'll as in Waterville.
The meeting was called to order

and hey will arrive in Waterville in
a little more than half hour. Forty
or so cars will make up the party
and there will be an escort of 20
members of the State Highway Pol
ice. The stop in this city will be
for only 10 minutes but the commit
tee plans to make that 10 minutes
a memorable one. A group of Wa
terville buglers will meet the party
at Fort Halifax and will announce
their arrival with a salute.
1t is probable that the Waterville

brief concert for the entertainment

be assembled on that date. M
I sPhe address of welcome will be
