Police Urge All
To Cooperate to
Protect Children

Franklin D. Gaskell, being appre-
hensive Of the danger which will
confront the young children Of Wat
erv1lle now that motorists are again
beginning to swarm the streets, has
issued a statement, urging that chill
dren, their parents and school teach
ers take all possible precautions to
Keep the youngsters from the paths
OF automobiles this year.
He says: "Thirty two per cent of
the 10000 persons killed in automo-
bile accidents in the United States
last year were children under the
age of IS years, according to the Ma
tional Safety Council.
"Waterville lost only three children
by this cause last year; although
there were several others injured
more or less seriously in automobile
accidents.
"The Police Department is asking
for the cooperation of parents. auto
mobile drivers and teachers in pre-
venting such accidents to children.
I'm spite Of the danger. many chill
dren make the street their play
ground. Chasing each other, or run
ming after a ball. they dash in front
Of moving vehicle. Boys should be
cautioned against playing marbles IN
the streets. While it is against the
city ordinance the department real
lies that positive information as to
how the boys should conduct them =
selves on the street will be more ef-
fective than mere Don'ts.' Explain
to them that to continue the practice
may mean death or the hospital Tor
them.
Parents. Drivers. Teachers, please
caution your own and other peoples
children about the dangers OF the
street.
NOW that motor vehicle traffic IS
on he increase, drivers should be 100
per cent careful, and have their cars
under control at all times In resfden-
tial as well as business sections OF
all towns and cities.
II you expect other persons TO
avoid injuring your children you
should take care not to injure the
children of others.
FRANKLIN D. GASKELL.
City Marshal"

Summary of the
Activities of
New Sunset Home

Mrs. Carrie Hutchins, a resident
at the Sunset Home, has written an
interesting resume of the activities
of the home which is printed below.
The home was opened about a year
ago for elderly ladies and there are
now around ten making their home
there. The house, the old Boothbay
mansion,\ which was willed to the
Sunset Home Association by the
late Frederick Boothbay was COM
pletely renodelled so that now it Is
admirably fitted to the use to which
it is being put.
The statement Of Mrs. Hutchins
follows:
I'm a recent number of the Senti-
mel we noticed an item reminding
people who had contributed to the
Sunset Home fund that pledges were
coming due in April.
This suggested to us, the fortu-
nate ones who are residents here,
that it would perhaps interest the
public to know something of what
this Home is doing, how it's family
is feeling about 1t and how it is con-
sidered by those Of our friends who
have visited 1t.
Every room was allotted before
the house was ready for occupancy.
All are pleased with their rooms,
and are happy here. We have been
most comfortable all winter. every
thing possible having been done for
our comfort. None of the old ladies
have children or relatives who could
make homes for them, but nobody
could be kinder or more consid:rat e
than our matron. She having lived
in Waterville for many Yeas. and
being well known here needs no
praise. Her life has proved her
worth.
Many people from this and other
cities have inspected this home. One
lady, herself a resident of a similar
organization, said that this was su-
perior to hers, as it seemed like a
real home Gas it isl and not like an
institution. She spoke. as have 9TH
ers, of the pleasant atmosphere of
the place. 1t is remarkable. There
are many visitors who say WHEN
leaving, Il wish 1 might be located
here
We have many callers, averaging
from five to ten daily. Many observe
'Waterville should be proud Of this
place.
The different religious societies
Lave been very thoughtful. We have
mad services fortnightly. Sunday af-
much appreciated.
THE Home received many first
class magazines, and quite a number
| OF books have been given us by
friends. Sc we have the nucleus of
library. Gifts of fruit. flowers,
vegetables and other good things
have been sent the Home, the latest
being box of oranges and grape
fruit direct from Florida with the
compliments of S. A. Green. The
names of the donors of all these
good things are on record. and for
them We express gratitude.
There are several Names on the
waiting list of ladies VINO need just
such home as this, but no more
can be taken until there is addition
al room.
I'VE are hoping for a new build
ing. which would be a fine .,otu-
ment to some departed friend"

sibly as we may desire to withdraw
our deposits from the bank and in
vest them in a home, a farm, a
business, or in some other worthy
manner.
Thus the essence Of real thrift
is correct spending.
We have at one extreme OF the
scale the miser who boards his
money, not for useful purposes, but
merely for the selfish lust OF plling
up wealth. At the other end Of the
scale we have the spendthrift. The
money in his hand possesses Ger.
tain definite values Of purchasing
power. but he has no appreciation
OF these values or their relative
Importance. Hence, he dissipates
his money as fast as he receives It.
The thrifty man embodies the
qualities that are lacking in the
miser and in the spendthrift. He
is well balanced where they are
out of poise. He can see facts to
which they are blind.
To be thrifty is neither to spend
all nor to save all.
Thrift Is the conserving Of each
resource that 1t may be used and
invested to the best advantage.
This is why the thrifty man
never stands still. He is ever NOV.

pathway Of success.
Thrift and progress are syn.

people of the entire State to pay the

but all of the school districts through
