CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
NOTES
w. N. Smith, Secretary

At the last meeting of the Cham
Der of Comerce, by suitable resolu-
ton, it went very definitely on rec
ord as being opposed to a sale of our
Light Plant. In fact there seemed to
be no one present who had the slight
est idea of supporting such mea-
sure should law be passed giving
us the right to vote on it. The prop
erty is too valuable, and the manage
ment too favorable for any change
at this time.
-o0o-
The meeting of the Central Dix
Highway Association at Fitzgerald
Wednesday was one of the best ever
held and the improvements to be
made in the near future along this
wonderful highway will make it one
of the most beautiful roads in this
section of the country.
-O0o-
With the excellent tobacco, corn
| End peanut crops almost made, it
looks like a crime for our farmers
to let the boil weevils eat up the
cotton crop when just a little poison
would put a stop to his work. 1t is
not right to raise weevils for your
neighbor when he is trying to destroy
them.
The proposed bond issue for the
purposes named is truly the one
great step toward a new era in Fitz-
gerald. We have been in sore need
o. these impi ovements Tor several
years, and the Mayor and Council
are to be congratulated in submitting
these propositions to the voters.
-o0O-
The new state highway bill as pro-
posed to the legislature by Repre-
- ntative Thompson of Ircup county
seems to be the wisest solution of
this much abused department of our
state. 1t provides a definite amount
for each division of the work, such
as paving, upkeep, and at the same
time designates which roads shall be
paved, known as primary roads, and
which shall be secondary roads, at
he same providing a limit to the
general expenses of the organization.

long felt want.

| Seven years after the great Worlt
war with people gradually forgetting
| the horrors it held, there comes 9
startling reminder in cinema form
"Havoc'-now showing at the Op.
| era house.
1t is a war picture that is fascinat-
| ing in it's terrific exposition of what
| transpired in France. There are
| battle scenes, trench incidents and
other phases reproduced so faithful.
! ly that the picture has received the
unstinted endorsement of boys who
were lover there"
While war is the main theme
there is cleverly interviewer an ap-
pealing love story and there are
| flashes of humor that serve to break
the tension. To some it is a recall
ing Of terrible days. to others of ex-
IRENE youth at the time it is a re-
vealing perturbation af the immedi-
ate past.
Much of the devastation in "Hav.
oc" is wrought by a beautiful wom-
an without soul. The story moves
through the gay night clubs and
homes of London, where the vam-
pire wins the love of Captain Dun
ton only to throw him carelessly
aside in favor of his best friend
Lieutenant. Dick Chappell.
The action il the picture takes
the young officers to the front in
France in scenes of startling realism.
With admirable restraint, the author
has kept the war scenes strictly
within the confines of the drama.
The battle sequences have been pro-
duced with fidelity to detail that
could only have been achieved by
director who went through an ac-
tual baptism of fire.
The best character portrayal of its
kind in the picture is by Walter
McGrail, who plays the part of Cap
tain Dunton. Crazed by news that
his fiancee has thrown him over for
Dick, Dunton sends Dick and his
platoon to what he believes is GER
tain death. In the scene in which
Dunton is confronted with evidence
of his perfidy, McGrail works up to
dramatic climax that is masterful.
George O'Brien gives a convincing
performance in the role of the hero.
Dick Chappell, the 1ikable young Of
ficer who wins the love of Captain
Dunton's fiancee and at the same
time wins Dunton's bitter hatred.
O'Brien's Chappell is a dynamic
character, played with emotional I'M

The Greatest Asset
Help to Get 1t
Buy Christmas Seals

what is the greatest asset man
or woman can have?" Doctor c. f.
Kendall, Maine State Commissioner
of Health asserted today that the
answer can be expressed in one
word, That word is-"Health".
In an interview in which he
strongly urges widespread and
popular purchases of the Health
Christmas Seals now on sale
throughout the state, Doctor Kendall
points out the two important fields
of work in public health activities
one field covered by the official
agencies such as state and local
boards of health and the other field
covered by the volunteer agency the
Maine Public Health Association and
it's affiliated local organizations.
The usefulness of governmental
agences, he points out, Is limited by
the extent of official appropriations
while the volunteer organizations
can do needed work for which the
official health agencies do not have
the funds available.
THE health and strength of the
community, state or nation" said
Doctor Kendall, depend upon the
health and strength of each indivi-
dual person in that community. state
or nation. The strength of an army
depends upon the number of men in
physical condition for active duty,
not upon the enrolment.
Thomas Carlyle said Health is a
thing to be attended to continually.
There is no achievement in the world
that is equal to perfect health
More and more people and COM
munities are beginning to realize
that health is the greatest asset a
man or woman has. We are all
striving for good health, but many do
not know how to keep it after once
attained. Many people are deyoting
their lives in the interest of public
health in trying to educate people
in right ways of living in order to
attain and keep good health.
"These agencies are of two kinds,
governmental and non governmental.
Governmental agencies can work
only in. so far as funds provided by
their respective governments allow
them to go.
There is often need of work which
cannot be done by the official
agencies so there are formed nom
official agencies whose financial sup
port comes from private individuals.
The Maine Public Health Associa-
ton is one of these agencies in the
State of Maine supplementing the
work of the official agency the State
Department of Health.
Among the various ways of rails
ing money to help carry on nom
governmental health work by the
Maine Public Health Association and
its allied organizations is the selling
of Christmas Seals, The money
raised by the sale Of Christmas Seals
is. used In the State in promoting
health work and is we'll worthy of
the support of people Of the State.
Christmas Seal funds are used to pay
the public health nurses of the As
ISOLATION to help support Clinics for
tuberculosis and Crippled Children
and many other health activities.
Buy Christmas Seals and buy
