conducted exercises, which also in
cluded the unwilling Of a print Of

Indications are that the contri-

erous. In many instances, children
brought money to their teachers to-
day, but this will not be counted
until the receipt of the principal
contributions Monday.

"OId Ironsides"
By SYLVIA STRAUSS
8-B Grade
FORCE-ADAMS SCHOOL
Age Is

One hundred and twenty-eight
years ago the vessel that was to
play prominent part in the affairs
of our nation was launched. This
frigate symbolizes everything that
is dear to an Americans heart.
It reminds us of our forefathers'
heroic struggle for liberty so that
their children might be free. This
ship is now decaying in Boston
Harbor. The Secretary OF the Navy
is allowing the privilege of re-
juvenating "Old Ironsides" to the
school children Of America. On
Monday we win be given chance
to make our contributions. Let
them be as large as our patriotism,
and may "Old Ironsides" be afloat
forever proudly waving the Stars
and Stripes.

Legion Will ELECT
OFFICERS TONIGHT
Harry GinSburg Believed Slated
to Command Post

The annual meeting OF Eddy
Glover post, No. 6, American Le-
gion, will be held this evening at 8
o'clock in the Legion home on
Washington street. The most i'm
portant items of business to come
before the meeting is the election Of
officers for the coming year and re-
ports of the retiring officers for the
past year.
Combined with the annual meet
ing tonight, the board of state Off
GERS will pay their annual visit to
the local post The state officers will
be entertained at dinner to be
served by the American Legion

Following the completion of the
business of the meeting. the newly
elected officers will be installed by
the state officers and they will be
called on to address the members.
With regard to the election of a
commander for the coming year, the
one most prominently mentioned for
the office is Attorney Harry Gins
burg. He has a host of friends in
the post and because Of his untiring
work in the interests Of the Legion,
both in this city and in the state. his
candidacy is being doomed among
the members.
Lawyer Ginsburg has been active
in the affairs of Eddy-Glover post
since its organization in this city. He
has held the Craftsmanship and has
been q member of most of the i'm
portant committees conducting the
posts affairs and during the past
year he held the craftsmanship Of
the state committee on rehabilita-
ton.
This is one Of the most important
committees in the state Legion's Or
ganization. 1t deals with the plac-
ing of disabled eX-service men in
positions after they have been grad
uated from vocational training. He
has been the foremost figure in pro-

There were a few seconds Of sill

heard a series of chuckles, which
threatened to become real laughter,
but didn't. Then the voice at the
other end became milder and took
on quite a serious tone. saying:

arranged and includes examples Of
houses which our more common
birds would enter and utilize as nest
ing places. There are houses for
wrens, blue birds. and martins, and
all are arranged with birds from
the taXidermy department of the
State Museum, giving the display a
most natural appearance against the
background of pussy-willows and
evergreens.
Many of the larger and more am
bilious houses were designed and
constructed by Clarence Pierce,
while John E. Goodwin and Ralph
Savage made several of the other
models.
Members of the Ball Bird Club
and of the First Granite National
Bank, sponsoring the display, be-
lieve that many people will be guild

CHIEF ENGINEER
SMALL TO Leave
FIRE DEPARTMENT
Report of Impending Resigna-
ton Neither Confirmed Nor
Denied

Rumors apparently well based are
to the effect that Chief Engineer
| Roy Small of the Augusta fire de-
! partment will soon resign. 1t has
been declared that he has expressed
such an intention to friends. Mayor
Ernest L. Mclean, when questioned
| last evening regarding the matter,
declared that no resignation has been
received and that he would be very
sorry to have such an efficient fire.
man as Chief Small resign from the
department. Chief Small when in
terviewed would neither affirm nor
deny the report.
Chief Small has held the position
as head of the Augusta Fire Depart
ment for the past seven years, dur
ing which time he has made name
for himself as one Of the best fire
chiefs in the New England states.
Principally due to his efforts. the fire
situation has been handled in this
city in such a careful and efficient
manner that Augusta has a GLASS
B" insurance rating. which Is better
than that of the majority of cities
and towns in Maine.
To put this into dollars and cents
it means a saving of $40 per thou
sand dollars of insurance valuation
on private dwellings in the city linn
its, and under hydrant protection. 1t
has also decrea sed materially the
rate on mercantile property on Wa
ter street. This insurance rating Is
based upon the apparatus provided
by the city and also upon the efficien-
cy of the department. Under Chief
Small the Augusta fire fighters have
handled several hard blazes. all OF
which have been what is known as
good stops. In several instances
the department has accomplished
seemingly impossible feats in pre-
venting potential CONGREGATIONS from
spreading. In addition to the actual
work of combating fires. Chief Small
has done fine preventive work, es-
pecially by keeping oversight of
places which might become fire haz-
ards If neglected.
Chief Small has been instrumental
in securing for Augusta the Hartford
Fire station. which is ideally situated
at the top of Rines hill, and the new
LaFrance hook and ladder truck
which was greatly needed. In addi-
ton under his direction the men OF
the department made another fire
truck using the chassis of truck
which had been used in the construc-
ton of the fire station. and the body
from an old hose wagon. These are
but three of the improvements in
equipment O. the fire department
which have resulted in the better in
surance rating for the city. and
which have been due in part at least
to the efforts of the Augusta fire
chief.
The members Of the department
