Modern Youth

Modern young people are q sad lot

Blocker at Piping Rock luncheon.
Some folks hold that the girls are
worse than the men," he went on,
"but-
"Well, I was talking to one Of these
modern young men the other night.
and he said to me:

Three deaths was the Fourth Of
July toll from Hancock county alone.
At Bar Harbor one girl died of
burns, and at North Sullivan, two
boys died of lockjaw from wounds
from blank cartridge pistols. Is our
way of celebrating the Fourth safe
and sane?
If the young men of the county
between the ages of seventeen and
twenty-four years, or, better still,
the parents of those young men,

seys comments on the military
training camps at the Chamber of
Commerce meeting last Thursday,
there would be no doubt about Han
cock county's filling its quota. There
as the camp does not open until
August. They should get in touch
with Secretary Stratton of the
Chamber of Commerce at once. They
will find the month in camp the most
profitable vacation they ever took.
The Maine law court has placed
the burden of caution upon drivers
of cars in preventing accidents to
pedestrians crossing streets. In
recent decision, it was set forth that,
as matter Of law, pedestrian,
about to cross street or pass from
a street car to the curbstone, is not
bound to look and listen. But 1t
was also explained that a pedestrian
does not do his full duty unless, be-
fore crossing street, he or she
looks for approaching cars and waits
until it reasonably appears that
prompt crossing can be safely Ell
fected. So. if you are killed while
crossing a street, the chances are
that your heirs can collect damages.
There may be some consolation IN
that-for your heirs.
Major General Hersey, the speaker
at the Ellsworth Chamber of Com
merce dinner at Shore Acres last
Thursday, in letters received by
President Robinson and Secretary
Stratton, expressed his appreciation
of the organization and the spirit
shown. In conversation after the
meeting, he said, "Your organization
has adopted some of the pest
features OF the SERVICE CluUo, WIN
out their disadvantages. l shall tell
OF it in my travels about the State.
There are those here in Ellsworth
who criticise the Chamber of Com
merce as an "eating club" These
are the people who believe that the
only business of a Chamber OF Com
merce is to "strong arm" some IN
dustry into locating in Ellsworth.
They are always found among the
CHECKERS" We believe that the
present organization is accomplish
ing a greater work than that IN
building up community spirit and
removing business jealousies.. And
II is not idle. It's prompt action IN
safeguarding Ellsworth's water sup

The quoit-pitching contest was
next in order. This was an elimin-
alton contest, the men pitching in
pairs, the loser being relegated to the
side lines. E. F. Small was the
winner, with c. w. Joy as runner-up.
The wheelbarrow race for women
furnished the big laugh of the after
noon. A stake was driven in the
ground about thirty feet from the
starting line. At the line there was
a wheelbarrow, headed directly for
the stake. The contestants were
blindfolded, given whirl two or
three times around, then placed
"between the shafts" of the wheel
barrow, and told to wheel it to the
stake, and stop when they thought
they had reached it. 1t was really
surprising to see the sense OF
direction that was manifested by the
contestants. Even automobiles back
of the starting line were in danger.
Most of the contestants had their
backs to the stake when they stopped.
Mrs. w. A. Alexander, the last to
compete, profited by watching the
others. When given the word go,
she started on a short run before the
wheelbarrow could lead her astray,
and stopped within five feet OF the
stake.
There were only five men who
could qualify for the fat mems race
Harry E. Rowe, I. Perlinsky, J. 5.
Donovan, M. Y. McGown and Roy =.
Goodwin. Mr.. Rowe won, with Mr.
Perlinsky second.
An egg and spoon race for women
closed the afternoon sports. This
was close and exciting, with nine
contestants. Mrs. Harry E. Rowe
looked like sure winner, but

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE OUTING
SPORTS IN AFTERNOON, SHORE DINNER
SPEAKING AND DANCING IN EVENING
Business Meeting After Banquet Medals and
Prizes Awarded Sports Championships
of Maine Speech by Maj Gen. Hersey

The Ellsworth Chamber of Com
merce had delightful outing at
"Sherm" Douglas Lamoine Beach
resort last Thursday afternoon and
evening. About forty members,
with ladies', attended. Sports in the
afternoon, banquet and business
meeting in the evening, with touch
of fun in the awarding of medals
and prizes to winners in the sports
contests, and the injection Of the
Maine Spirit into the meeting by a
splendid address by Major General
Hersey, made full and delightful
program. There were eighty-six
at the dinner. After the meeting
there was dancing, and it was near
midnight when the last stragglers
came over the road from Lamoine.
Altogether, it was pronounced
successful day, and the community
spirit that is being developed by the
Chamber of Commerce received
another boost.
THE SPORTS
The sports program was a little
late In getting under way, as the
members hardly anticipated the fun
in the program the committee had
arranged, and many were late in
arriving.
The fun commenced with a ball
game between picked teams-''Lew"
Fortier as captain of the "Ford
Flivvers," and Luchini as captain Of
the "Hot Dogs" There were "have
beens" and never have beens" on
both teams, but nothing that looked
like a ball player on either. "Billy"
Whiting took his life in his hands
by volunteering to act as umpire. He
escaped injury.
