Supt. Grenier Gives
History State Printing
At Pennington Rotary

Pennington, Me-, June 4-Joseph
p. Grenier, state superintendent of
printing. on Thursday evening adj
dressed the members of the Farm
ington Rotary Club on the topic
| THE History of State Printing"
Mr.. Grenier discussed the details
Of the inauguration of his depart
| ment, stating that the first appro-
| prlation was made in 1884, at which
time the Legislature set aside the
| sum of $1,000 for that purpose.
This appropriation was continued
for several years" he said, before
it was raised to $4,000 by the Legis-
lature of 1870. 1t remained at that
figure clear up to 1907, and the sys-
tenn in vogue consisted of the cleo
ton of a committee on public print
ing by each successive Legislature
from among It's own members, this
committee having to pass upon the
| bills incurred during the previous
year."
Mr.. Grenier explained that this
system was crude in the extreme, as
| the members of such a committee
could not of course be fully inform
ed as to the bills under their con-
sideration, nor the reasons underly-
ing the expenditure of the various
sums incorporated in the bills.
'In 1885," he went on, IAN act
passed the Legislature creating the
office of Auditor of State Printing,
the position thus created, and no
salary was paid under this Act up
| to 1905. The Legislature of 1911 re-
pealed the act altogether, and the
! work of State printing was carried
on by a practical printer under the
direction of the State Auditor" -
1.-THE Legislature of 1916 passed
| the act which created the office of
State Superintendent of Public
printing, and provided that the ap-
pointment Of such an officer be
made by the State Auditor. In 1919
| this law was amended so that the
Governor now makes the appoint
| ment, and the office of the state
printer is a part Of the Executive
department"
Mr.. Grenier explained in some de-
tail the results which are being OBJ
tanned from the expenditure Of the
legislative appropriation of $4,000
for publicity in aid OF the Boom
Maine Movement. He described the
series of splendid folders and PAM
phlets being used to broadcast
Names natural beauties and recre-
ational, Industrial and agricultural
advantages to the Nation. and
showed the Rotarians copies of
many Of these pamphlets, booklets
and folders, as we'll as the road
maps of Maine, and others showing
the best routes to Maine from va
ious parts of the United States, put
out by his department for the vari-
Gus bodies now handling the Maine
Publicity program.
His address was Of the deepese
interest to the Rotarians, embody--
ing as it did the subject matter OF
a opic which must be- foremost in
the minds of all Maine citizens.

EneLond's Great Seal

At one time an important official
had charge of the great seal Of
England. Known as "chaffwax," he
was its real custodian, whereas
the lord chancellor was its nominal
custodian. 1t was the duty of chaf-
wax to melt the wax and take the
Impression of the seal as they We're
required. The Office was abolished
many years ago and the work Is
performed now by an ordinary en-
|pioyee, but the last of the chaT-
|waxes figured in the pension list
until recently.
Il is the custom TO give the old
seal to the lord chancellor when
ever a new one is made. In the
|early days, says London Tit-Bits,
the old seal was carefully broken
|up and only the fragments handed
over to the chancellor, but now a
blow with a hammer, deliy-
cred by the king, is sufficient TO
break 1t In a technical sense.

G AND OLDEST

The giant Sequoias are the larg-

world. says the Forest Service OF
the United States Department OF
Agriculture. The General Sherman
tree. in the Sequoia National Park,
California, is thought to be the
largest living tree. 1t is 279.9 feet
tall and 36.5 feet in diameter above
the root swelling. The bark, which
is about a foot thick, affords a
measure of protection against in
sect attack. Trees of this species
live to be 1000 or more years old.
They are found only in California
at present. but in earlier times
they grew in other regions as well.
