Grange Fights Cigarets
National Campaign
Against "COfin Nails"

In all sections Of the country
Oranges are concentrating their en-
ergies to fight the cigaret evil. and
many strong declarations on the
subject have recently been made at
meetings of that organization. Home
Economics departments in various
Oranges are taking UP the subject,
and the question of the growing Gig
aret habit will be Systematically dis
cusSed in Grange meetings through
out the country the next few months.
Following it's strong advocacy of ma
tional prohibition and it's vigorous
stand against the traffic in narcotics,
the National Grange has taken a
vigorous stand against cigarets, and
have been equally outspoken in their
declarations. One of the latter Is
from Michigan. where the utterance
upon the subject well reflects the
Grange attitude in general
"Cigarets. the white coffin nails.
are mailing down the lid of oppor-
tunity for thousands of our boys and
young men and even few of our
girls are getting into the limelght by
smoking in public places. The ciga-
ret fight is going to be as long and
as hard fought as the booze issue but
we know we shall win, for it means
the health and happiness of our boys
and girls. and we are eternally right.
Parents everywhere should supple-
ment their other efforts against the
cigaret evil by notifying magazines
and all other periodicals that they
will withdraw their support from
publications which feature stories
that idealize cigaret smoking for
either man or woman. The running
mate of booze is the cigaret and we
shall fight it to the finish.'

Appreciation Is EXPRESSED Of the
activities of another American organ
ization. the Anti Maiarial Research
Unit, financed by the Joint Distribu-
ton Committee of New York.
The anti-malaria work accom-
plished by the research unit has been
of the greatest value" the director Of
health states, "and it's results are al
ready apparent in the disappearance
or great diminution of primary ma
laria in the Jewish colonies, both new
and old, in Palestine"
The report states that hygiene
work in most of the Jewish schools
was conducted by Hadassah tn a
most careful manner"
Mentioning the Hadassah nurses
schools the report recalls that this
institution continued its work as the
largest center for the education and
training of nurses in the schools"
Mention is also made of the sick
fund (Kupath Cholim) Of the Jewish
Labor Association and the extension
of the work of this fund by the es-
Establishment of a network Of clinics
and convalescent homes within the
country, three urban and 80 rural
clinics having been opened. Towards
the budget of this fund amounting to
about S150.000, the Palestine Founda-
ton Fund contributes about $4,000.

FAVOR SELLING
c. Of c. PROPERTY
TO Boys CLUB

A special membership meeting OF
the Waterville- Winslow Chamber of
Commerce will be held in the council
rooms at City Hall next Monday eve
ming at s o'clock to find out whether
or not the members are in favor OF
selling the Chamber of Commerce
property on Temple street to the
Waterville Boys Club. At a meeting
Of the directors held last Monday
afternoon the matter was fully dis
cussed and a sentiment favoring the
sale was expressed.
The building, which has been oc-
cupied by the club since last summer
is the house of the old Timothy Bou-
telle estate and is finely constructed
throughout. 1t was purchased by
the Chamber in the spring of 1928
from a fraternal order, the Eagles,
and it was planned to use 1t as a
community house. But the organiza
ton of the Boys Club and their need
for a building caused the Chamber
to turn it over to the officers of the
club.
AS soon as the building was ac-
uuired by the Boys Club last sum-
mer a complete renovation was
started and the building was made
to meet every need that the club
might place upon it. The magnifi-
cent walnut woodwork was revarn-
ished and several new floors laid. At
the rear of the building large. well
lighted gymnasium was built which
is probably the best in the city. In
the basement large locker rooms and
a number of shower baths were In
stalled. The building itself is devo-
ted to game rooms and Libraries Tor
both the younger and older boys.
The club membership now num-
bers about 500 boys from all walks
of life and from all parts of Water
Vile and Winslow. The organiza-
ton is under the direction Of Frank
J. Goodrich, who spent the entire
summer previous to the opening OF
the club, to a study of boys clubs
throughout New England and who
ia we'll adapted to the work.
