U. OF NJ. NOTES

Steps were taken this afternoon
toward the organization of a new
journalistic fraternity at the Univer-
sity of Maine. This new society will
take the place of the local chapter
Of Sigma Delta Chi, which recently
surrendered its charter.
The new society will continue
along the same lines as did Sigma
Delta Chi, fostering the Inter-
scholastic Journalistic Convention
held annually at the University. and
publishing the University comic, the
Maniac" A committee on organi-
zation was appointed and a name
will be decided upon. officers elected
and business resumed under the new
regime.
Interest in aeronautics has been
aroused at the. University of Maine
and plans are under way for the
formation of an Aviation Club. Rob-
ert l.. Simons, Us. Of Gardiner is the
instigator of the scheme. which is
heartily endorsed by President Lit
tie.
About twenty students have be-
come interested in the idea. some Of
whom have had actual flying eX-
perience. During the month, a
meeting will be held. which will be
open to all interested students. This
meeting will be addressed by Mr..
Porter Adams. governor for Massa-
chusetts of the National Aeronautic
Association. Moving pictures will be
shown through the cooperation of
the Eastern Film Corporation and
the National Aeronautic Association.
Mr.. Adams '-as secured through Mr..
w. II. Gannett of Augusta, governor
for Maine for the n. A. A.
The object of Simons and his EEL
low enthusiasts is to get enough
interest aroused SO that twenty five
, students may form a local chapter
of the National Aeronautic Associa-
ton. Such chapters are maintained
at New York University, Dayton
I University, University of Michigan.
and other large colleges. Leland

toward the establishment of a chap

members are now engaged in the
designing and construction OF a

be an innovation in this State, and

are John u. Johnny" O'Neil. ~ of

Boucher, who plays the saXophone
7 as well as being a more than ordin-
airy pianist, and O'Neil whose poetic
talents seem to be very promising,
sat down and composed their song
on the spur of the moment, inspired,
perhaps, by the crossword craze
| which recently swept the Univer-
sity.
The song was published and Is
now on sale in Old Town, Orono
Bangor, Lewiston, and Augusta, and
promises to he a big hit.

MISS DRAPK|N'S
WINNING ESSAY
ON CH|zzLE WHILE

Amongst the great grist Of essays
submitted by students Of Cony High
school in the contest for the silver
trophy cup offered by c F. Bilodeau.
clothier, that of Miss Ida Drapkin, a
junior. was selected by the judges as
the best. Miss Drapkin will receive
her award at the senior play on the
third and final night of Chizzle While
fair. Wednesday. Feb. IS.
The essays were on the subject,
"Why Every Augusta Citizen Should
Support Chizzle Wizzle," and Miss
Drapkin's essay was as follows:
ITO the Citizens Of Augusta:
THE issue is at hand. Why should
you support Chizzle While?
"Cony is your school. The boys and
girls who attend 1t are yours. Then
why not make it your duty to sup
port that which Is yours. Chizzle
While is the thing that makes Cony
bigger and better and far above other
schools. 1t helps us to promote CO.
operation, use our own wits, think
and plan ahead, and be independent;
in short, Chizzle While makes bust
ness men and women out Of us. We
put under way an enormous produc-
ton and we make 1t succeed where
other productions in moro experienced
y
see then, my friends, the absolute
necessity OF encouraging such a bene-
fetal factor in your school?
"All the losses that Cony suffers in
athletics and other school activities
must be made up at Chizzle While.
This great enterprise enables us to
carry on our athletics on higher
basis. reward our athletes with sweat
ers, and support the skating rink.
In general, Chizzle, While offers gem
erous hand toward all school act1vi-
ties. Again I ask. do you not see why
you should do your bit to offer these
| advantages to your school and help
| make up whatever deficit there may
be in its treasury?
"In backing Chizzle While. you are
| making possible a training which may
be Of unsurpassed value to the stu
| dents. The names you see on the pro-
gram. may seem insignificant, but who
| knows, some day that blackface may
be one of the leading tenors in the
country, that solo dancer a second
Pavlowa. the treasurer a Wall street
magnate, the president pompous
business man. The lamp which lights
our way into the future must not be
! blown out.
what is Chizzle wizzle, anyway?
Long, long ago, 1t was a seed. Now
it is a bush. Water 1t. Citizens Of
Augusta. and proudly watch 1t grow
into a huge tree. bending over with
the weight of it's fruit. We appeal to
you, devote yourself whole heartedly

Weather Reports
Losing Value?

Is the value Of the weather report
issued by the U. S. Department losing
out is the question which was asked
Tuesday Of Postmaster Arnold. His
reply quickly assured the reporter
that the report is still Of vast value,
in spite of the invasion Of the radio
in that field. The weather flags still
fly from the Federal building and
they are just as closely observed,
each, day. by the passerby. as they
have been in years past. While
copies Of the weather forecast are
not mailed to various patrons now,
telephone inquiries come to the Post
master about the weather. Daily re-
ports are also telephoned to a num-
Der of local industries, dependent on
the water supply.
