Dismiss Petition
For Jitney Line
Sanford SpringYale

The public utilities commission.
Thursday rendered a decision dis
missing the application of Joseph
A. Perron and Celia Perron, hus-
band and wife, of Sanford to oper-
ate a jitney bus service between
Sanford and Springvale.
From the evidence submitted at
the hearing" says the decision of
the public utilities commission, lit
appears that the applicants desire
to render service in carrying pas
sengers through a territory now
served by the York Utilities Com
pany.
1T nowhere appears that the SER
vice of the York Utilities Company
Is not adequate for requirements in
this section.
The applicants have failed to
show sufficient reason for our au-
thorization of the additional and
competing service contemplated.

Urges Full Maine
Quota For Citizens
Military Training

Urging school authorities to make
known to the students the advan-
tags offered by the Citizens Military
Training Camp at Fort Mckinley,
Portland, from August 2 to 81. DR..
Augustus o. Thomas, State commits
sioner Of education, Is sending the
following letter to principals of high
schools and academies in the State:
while / have no word from the
authorities of the Citizens Military
Training Camp at Portland, / have
observed through the press and have
learned also through Mr.. Henry F.
Merrill of Portland that the small
quota for the summer is not filing
up SO rapidly as 1t should, for which
reason I am calling to the attention
Of principals Of high schools and
academies the ACCESSIBILITY of making
known to the young men the oppor-
tunities this camp offers.
"The quota calls for only about
three hundred young men. While
many Of our boys find jobs for the
summer months in order to earn
spending money and clothes for the
coming year. there are no doubt
many who could we'll take the train
ing which the Citizens Training
Camp offers and be greatly benefited
by the study and physical activities
offered.
1--WE are especially fortunate in
the personnel of the Training Camp.
The officials and instructors are high
class men, most of them of Chris
tian character. The environs are
also wholesome. the city Of Portland
being in every respect as clean a
city as can be found and under good
government.
1.-THE Citizens Military Training
Camp represents one of the best and
most satisfactory elements in our
National Defense Act. 1t is entirely
voluntary. While 1t may benefit all,
there are certain types Of young men
who will profit greatly by this train
ing. Principals of high schools and
academies may render a service by
advising with young men whose cir
cumstances make 1t possible for
them to attend"
