OAK GROVE

The most exciting event Of the
week end for Oak Grove girls was
the arrival on Saturday afternoon
of two new saddle horses. Both
ponies are white and Jill" is the
mate of the famous Jack" whom
the skillful riders have been so de-
voted to since last September. The
other pony is 'FreckleS" and while
his name is decidedly appropriate,
he nevertheless already has some
ardent admirers who have no objec-
lions to freckles SO long as he has
such good gait. Freckles is not as
spirited as Jack and the other ponies
and has been secured especially in
order that some of the girls who
have not had much experience when
mounted will have no fear of pranks.
Spring was given a jolly welcome
at Oak Grove on Saturday. The
rustic lawn furniture that has been
stored all winter was brought forth,
tennis rackets were given their first
airing, the croquet set was put out,
skipping ropes made their debut,
and groups of girls examined the
groves and searched for spring
flowers.
Miss Smith chaperoned a party Of
6iA " w dICA Oii SohNl Adys
Mrs. Stephen Bunker of Bangor
was the guest of her daughter, Ruth,
on Saturday.
Hon. H. E. Wadsworth of Winth-
rop. the Treasurer of the Oak Grove
endowment funds, was a caller at
the school, Saturday.
Mrs. Alice Gullifer. who met with
an accident to her hand on Thursday
evening and was taken to the Sis
tiers Hospital where she was treated
by DR.. Fish, was able to return to
school on Saturday.
The trials of the Junior Reading
were held on Friday evening and the
following girls won places in the
finals: Dorothy Colony of Vassal-
boro. Norma Fuller Of Waterville;
Ruth laval of Allentown, Pa;
Elizabeth Martin of Bangor and
Beverly Powell of Cambridge, Mass.
DR.. Martin took as his text on
Sunday morning, II Corinthians 4:1S
and preached an inspiring sermon
on THE Power of the Invisible"
The evening meeting of the
Christian Association was held I'M
der the leadership of the Social
Committee of which Ruth Bunker is
chairman. The meeting was held in
the club room at the gymnas SUM
where a fire blaze on the hearth
added a friendly touch to the inter-
esting and helpful meeting.

graduate of Tufts College, class OF
1911. He held pastorates in Valley

Gardiner, Me-, Mortified. VT, and
Oakland, Me.
Mr.. Mann came to Oakland two
years ago from Mortified. VT. ana
during his short stay he has won the
respect and friendship of the entire
community. He was q man among
men. quiet and retiring in DISPOSE
ton, yet possessing forceful char
acter which cast moulding IN
fluence for good over both young ana
old: a strong leader In every right
eous cause and one whose whole
mission in life was to serve God ana
his fellowmen.
AS a pastor of the church he felt a
responsibility not only to his church
people but to all and with no
thought Of creed or sentiment ne
scattered seeds of love and kindness
wherever they would take root and
grow.
He took an active interest in the
towns affairs and many of the civic
benefits which the community has
enjoyed in the last two years origin
ated in his fertile mind. He often
said II want to make Oakland bet
ter place in which to hve."
He was a true friend to the poor
and rich alike, to the high and to the
lowly and gave freely of his time,
strength and money to relieve SUI
fering and distress. He came a
stranger and has passed out
brother to all.
From his lips have been learned a
new lesson of life. Through him
have been received new courage and
broader vision of the things OF
both Heaven and earth.
The wheel has broken at the
cistern, the pitcher at the fountain.
the soul of a beloved pastor and
friend has passed to the God who
gave it but he has left behind the
memory and wonderful influence OF
his noble life and deeds.

FoR SPORTS IN MODERATION


"You can have anything you
to a better position and an increase
in salary. All you have to do is to
make your goal an ideal and strive
to attain it,
So urges upon our attention a
noted psychologist while in parallel
column of the newspaper are COM
ments from the April Bulletin Of the
American Association of University
Professors which indicate that they
have begun to set their heart on an
ideal and are striving to attain it.
Some Of their conclusions may not
prove altogether satisfactory to the
New Hampshire girl, who remarked
that she would not like to live in
Maine as it was too far from the
big football games. They admit,
indeed they aver. that among the
bad effects of intercollegiate foot
ball as now played are: neglect OF
the fundamental purposes Of the coll
lege and distortion of values that
remains with college men through
out life.
They do not deny that football
properly apportioned to the activities
/, of the college Is an excellent sport
but they condemn the excess in which
there is so much of indulgence. 1t
is barely possible that the Associa-
ton has in mind the philosophy with
which Chauncey Depew adjusts his
diet, cutting out that which one
likes best because Of that one is like
| " to eat too much. The Association
does not go that far, however. as
it recognizes the desirability OF
moderation.
Now we will see if the psychologist
be right in his conclusion, assuming,
/ of course, that the Association OF
University Professors adhere in the
face of the popular demand and
despite the appeal sport makes to the
alumni. They may not increase theiI
salaries but they will deserve more
than a million dollars If they persist
in striving for tn. ideal they have
set up; it is an excellent ideal

Editorial Comment
Why Not Sing II Aloud?

(BostOn GlObe)
Here are the rules for longevity
given by Chauncey Depew on his
92d birthday yesterday:
Think about cheerful things.
Always be an optimist.
Don't brood or be morbid,
Don't be angry or hate things.
Cultivate young people.
Be moderate in all things.
If a thing disagrees with you, cut 1t
out.
If you find your diet is wrong, give
up the thing you like best, for that's
the thing you will eat most of.
Laugh, and make others laugh.
And pick your grandparents.
Now. will somebody make a poem
of it?

Secretary Of War Davis in response
to protests received against Sunday

at is the policy of the War De-

polo and analogous sports on military
reservations ON Sunday where no
admission fee is charged, and that an
admission fee may be charged in
cases where such practice is not in
conflict with local laws. 1t would be
unjust to deprive soldiers of the
