LET'S GET BUSY
SEE that AUCUSTANS
ARE LISTED FOR COUNT

More than 300 Maine cities and
towns have taken up-with enthus-
iasm-the suggestion for a census
of their inhabitants who are Is years
of age or over.
All of those so listed automatf-
cally become members of the Maine
Three-Quarter Century Club-ad-
mitted to be the most unique and
distinctive organization ever thought
of in any State.
The purpose behind the forma-
tion of the club is two -fofd-first to
prove to the world by thousands OF
living examples that living in Maine
is conducive to longevity. The Sec
ond part of the purpose is to afford
an occasion to extend proper recog-
milton to those in the older gener-
alton who are now assuming posi-
tions on the side-lines while the
younger generation take it's place on
the field of life. The Maine Public
Health Association conceived the
idea, which was promptly endorsed
by Governor Brewster, who recogniz-
ed it as one of most valuable parts
of the general plan to develop Maine
by making it attractive to those who
live in other states.
The idea has met with enthusiast
ic response almost everywhere IN the
State. Chambers of Commerce, Ro-
tary and Kiwanis Clubs, women's
clubs, city officials, boards of select
men, oranges and others who take
an interest in public affairs have
undertaken the work of the local
census through volunteer commit
tees.
In Augusta, the Kiwanis Club,
through it's president, has assumed
responsibility for making the census
of the Capital City. The returns for
the State are to be counted by a
committee which will meet in Au-
gust Goth. 1t was reported yesterday
that only nine names appear so far
on the Augusta list. With only one
week in which to complete this I'M
portant civic endeavor 1t Is hoped
that all citizens will take an interest
in this thing and will volunteer to
help the Augusta Kiwanians who
were public spirited enough to un-
dertake the job.
