Service Is Flayed at
Meeting Of Citizens

At a meeting OF the Cathedral
Heights Citizens Association. In st.
Adams Guild Hall last night, sug-
gestions on whether to perfect the
car service or adopt the bus plan
were discussed
The present system Of Transports
tion facilities for residents along
Wisconsin avenue, Burleith, and in
termediate points to Rockville was
declared to be the worst In Wash
ington "and situation which has
steadily grown worse with the pas
sage OF time and increased popu-
lation.'
1T was pointed out that notwith-
standing an increase OF between
ZOO and 1,200 per cent in the
population, served by the Wisconsin
line, that the service has not only
been neglected but has been allowed
TO deteriorate.
The tracks, condition of road bed,
type OF cars, and the entire services
was condemned in p wholehearted
fashion by the entire personnel OF
the associations membership.
A special meeting has been called
for Thursday, at which time Off
Gals OF the bus and street car COM
panies win be invited to address the
association and outline what, II any,
improvements can be expected in
the present traffic facilities, char
acterized as "a disgrace" to the en-
tire Capital.

DEXTER
Fay High Has Fine
Commercial Dent.

The N. II. Fay High school has
every reason to feel proud of the COM
mercial department of the school.
The commercial course was organ
lied In 1918 by Bertha NJ. Leighton,
under the supervision of Supt. Jas. A.
Hamlin. Rapid growth of the school
made the work too much for Miss
Leighton to conduct alone SO in 1890
Mrs. Whitmore was elected as assist
ant in this department. In 1922 Miss
Leighton resigned and Mrs. Whitmore
was promoted from her position as as
sistants to head of the department,
with Miss Mildred q. Coombs of Ban
gor as her assistant who was sue
ceeded by the present assistant, Miss
Emily c. Gardner of Whiting.
This department has trained its
students so that the greater number
OF them have been able to secure ex-
cellent positions as stenographers
and typists without further training.
About 100 students are now taking
some form Of commercial work.
Saturday the N. H. Fay commercial
students in company with Mrs. Whit
more journeyed to Bangor where they
participated in the county contests in
commercial examinations. Little
dreaming of carrying Oft any honors
they carried off first place in short-
hand, first place in class B typewrit-
ing, and third place in this class also.
The school received two loving cups
which will remain in Dexter for one
year, or until the next contest, If
school is fortunate enough to win a
cup for three years in succession the
cup then becomes the permanent prop
erty of that school.
The first place in shorthand at the
Bangor contest was won by Blanche
Ellis, Miss Ellis also won first place
In the Glass B. typewriting. Miss Ell
lis is senior of this school and the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Marion Ellis
Of the town. Additional awards re-
ceived by Miss Ellis were: A beauti-
full gold medal, by the Gregg Publish
ing Company, for her work in Short
! hand, a blue ribbon for shorthand
| from the Penobscot County Contest
committee.
Miss Abbie Sawtelle. a senior, took
| third place In Glass B Typewriting
| and was given a white ribbon. Miss
Sawtelle is the daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred A. Sawtelle.
Miss Evelyn Keene of the Junior
| class won fifth place in Glass G type
/ writing, but no awards are made be.
low third place.
Dexter certainly has every right to
/ feel proud Of this fine record MAIN
| tanned by the commercial department
Of the N. H. Fay High school.
