business meeting was completed a
class of nine We're initiated into the

lowing candidates were taken in:
Mrs. Lillian Croteau, Mrs. Sylvia
Loubier, Mrs. Lottie King, Mrs. Fret

symbols used by the tribes of Judah,
then touched briefly on Rome, and
how they excelled in professions and

preferred banners and emblems, then
came the new nations and all nations,
and that next Sunday marked the
150th anniversary of the Declaration
of Independence. She ended her talk

Work Progressing
On Rice's Bridge and
York Corner Highway

Residents Of York county and
tourists coming into Maine will be
pleased at the announcement Of the

effect that the second slab OF con-
crete from Rice's Bridge to York

unent over which traffic may pass

any delay In passing this construc-
ton Job.
The State Highway Commission
appreciate the patience and the
splendid spirit OF cooperation which
the travelling public has shown In
connection with the short delays
they have had to endure while this
section of pavement has been laid.
The system in vogue OF tagging
traffic by the work and letting traf-
fic pass for 10 or Is minutes in one
direction and then for 10 or is min
utes in the other direction, is the
eystem which Is In effect in many
parts of the country and which
seems to be more agreeable to gem
eral traffic than taking detour.
AS the construction OF the re-
naming pavement slab cannot be
carried on with double line OF
traffic passing, the contractor VIII
be obliged to hold up work on the
remaining slab ON Saturday. July 3,
and on Monday, July 5. On Tues

The petitioner seeks freedom from
jail xfor the following reasons set

The petitioner seeks freedom from
jail flor the following reasons set
forth:
.That his business interests con-
sisting Of a large amount of summer
camp property in the town of Lowell
became involved in litigation and
financial acknowledgements which make
II Imperative that the owner be
availab Bile for the management Of this
business during the summer months
in order to forestall and prevent
heavy financial loss not only to the
petitioner himself but to the mem
bers Of his family who are dependent
upon the success Of this venture for
their means of livelihood and for
money for schooling as well as gen.
eral expenses.
"That the petitioner has been ade-
quately punished by his present TIM
prisonment in the county Jail at
South Paris and by the large ex-
penses which he has incurred in con-
nection with his business as result
Of his Imprisonment; and further
more that the petitioner has given to
his advisors and friends sincere as
surances that he will never again al
low himself to transgress the laws
of the State Of Maine while he is a
resident within said State of Maine;
and furthermore that the proceed
ings connected with the case OF said
petitioner and the heavy sentence
imposed upon him have attracted
great publicity from. which the petit
toner is bound to receive great DAM
age and disadvantage In the future
so that his punishment in that re-
spect will be more severe than any
ordinary or usual case $3.50.
That he was never engaged in the
LIQUOR business as the term is COM
monty understood, that he never had
any relations in that respect with
the general liquor buying public and
that the acts complained of in his
Indictment all occurred upon his own
private property and within his own
group of friends and guests; and
that nothing in his past record may
properly be interpreted as showing
on his part any disposition to be
breaker of the laws of the State of
Maine except in the one instance re-
lated in this indictment"
