An active program Of sports and
entertainment features has been ar
ranged by the committee in charge
Of the Augusta Rotary Club annual
Boys day observance. which will be
held at Sandy Point at Three Mile
Pond on Friday Of this week, but the
event of the day which is being an
ticipated with the keenest sort of
pleasure is the baseball game which
will be played between the Rotarian
big brother" hosts and their juvenile
guests.
1t is expected that some $50 boys
will join the Rotarians tomorrow for
the trip to Three Mile Pond by auto
mobile and the picnic program at Ed
Hussey's Sandy Point property. The
youngsters this year have been drawn
from the sixth, seventh and eighth
grades of the grammar schools, and
since last Friday when bad weather
occasioned a postponement of the
Planned junket, have been zealously
holding onto the pasteboards which
identify them as the selected group
for the Rotary picnic.
John Wadleigh is chairman of the
transportation committee and he is
prepared to assign some 100 automo-
biles to convey the young army to the
picnic grounds. All RotarianS are di-
rected to line up their machines on
Winthrop street near the Augusta Y.
NJ. c. A. building in time to get under
way when the starting pistol is fired
at II O'Clock sharp tomorrow morn
ing.
Provision has been made for the
safe guidance of the long convoy of
automobiles to the pond and Sandy
Point Rotarians and boys will take
basket or picnic lunches, and as has
been the custom in the past the big
brothers" will have an extra store of
fruits and things so that they can
trade with their particular groups of
youngsters for other eats" which
the mothers Will have prepared.
A program of sports and swimming
events will be carried out at the
Sandy Point preserve under the SUI
pervision of Rotarian Tom Smith,
and one of the features calls for old
clothes. so the boys are cautioned to
wear their favorit4 old pants and
blouses, and to take their bathing
suits.
The Boys day observance of tomor-
row bids fair to be one of the largest
and most enjoyable of the several an
nual junkets for the youths of the
Capital City sponsored by the Augusta
Rotary Club.

For several years. inhabitants in

were thought to have been species
Of buzzard.
But recently one Of the young
birds tumbled with q broken wing
and an examination revealed that
It was an American bald eagle. Fur

entire family Is OF that species.
The Kent district is q natural

no one in company feel his inferiority
Talk not long at time. Tell no long
