Harrington Tells
Of Legion Preamble
AS Great Document

Hon. Frank G. harrington or Au-
gusta, speaking before the members
of the George N. Bourque post of the
American Legion at their meeting
last evening, declared the preamble
Of the constitution of the Legion to
be comparable with the greatest
documents ever penned by man and
he named as examples Lincoln's
Gettysburg address and the Declare
ton of Independence. He said that
he had read the preamble many times
and that with each reading a new
force had gone into his heart.
Mr.. harrington said that II the
first four words Of the preamble,
For God and Country" We're to
stand alone they would constitute a
worthy code for a man to follow.
Every man, he said, believes in the
existence of some power higher than
himself and he maintained that the
time comes in every mans life when
he resorts to prayer. To bring out
the love that all men hold for their
country the speaker read parts Of the
Declaration of Independence and dis
cussed them in an interesting way.
Previous to hearing Mr.. Earring
ton much work was accomplished at
the business meeting of the post. 1t
was voted to sponsor the Cimbollek
concert this winter as has been done
in the past. The concert Is the work
of a community orchestra, gotten to-
gether and trained by Max Cimbol-
lex Of this city and in years past 1t
has always been a most enjoyable
affair. A date has not yet been de-
cided upon.
The conduct Of the post was some
what changed when a committee on
committees was appointed, made up
of Comrades Howard B. WEIGH, Ray
Swift and r. T. Turcottel. The men
will sit at each meeting and they
will be provided with lists of the
names OF members available Tor
membership on various committees
1t is thought that their appointments
will make the posts committees
stronger than they have been.
There was considerable discussion
of the visit to Waterville of Larry
Doyle, national commander of the 40
and which will take place on the
9th of this month. This is to be the
only city in the State which will be
visited by the commander and plans
have been made for banquet at Le-
gion hall at which time he will be
the chief speaker. Many Legionaires
from away will be present. The COM
mittee in charge of entertainment
consists of Comrades Chenevert,
Claude Strout, and Hersune
FRANKLIN G. Gaskell and Albert
Thibodeau were appointed commit
tee to see to the condition of the
rifles. ammunition and helmets own
ed by the post and to report at lat
er date. 1t was suggested that a
suitable cabinet should be acquired
in which to keep the colors of the
post and the matter was left in the
hands of committee made up OF
Comrades Robichaud and Donald
Putnam. A committee to investigate
the advisability of changing the date
of the awarding of the Robert Stobie
trophy consisting of Comrades IT. n.
Weeks. c. NJ. Jolly and +. T. Hill was
appointed.
Entertainment for the rest Of Jan
uary is in the hands of Comrades
Bradley, Steele and Harmon.

the car they used resembled the de-
partment automobiles used by de-
putty inspectors.
The two victims of the robbery
we're Albert L. Goudvis of Goudyis
Brothers, diamond brokers, and
Emanuel Veerman, an employee.
Fifth Avenue was thronged with
people when the robbery took place.
AS Goudvis and Veerman turned the
corner of 4Sth Street they passed a
motor car with curtains drawn
standing at the curb. The driver
was seated at the wheei. AS they
came abreast of the car three men
leaped from the automobile. one of
them pressing a revolver to Goudviss
side and demanding that he hand
over the bag of diamonds.
Goudvis protested and was struck
several times with the butt Of a revolt
yer and fell to the ground. Two other
bandits dragged Veerman into hall
way and when he put up fight he
was knocked unconscious. Selling
the diamonds the three highwaymen
hurried to their car and began their
dash through the dense traffic.
There was cry from shoppers and
others as the car moved away and
traffic officers fired their revolvers at
the car as it diSrega rded all tramc
regulations in its wild fight through
Fifth avenue and the side streets
where its trail was lots. The police
believe that several shots struck the
car.
Goudvis and Veerman were attend
ed by an ambulance physician and
taken to police headquarters to Il ok
over the rogue's gallery.
Nearly $4,000 in Jewels have been
stolen in hold-ups and robberies in
New York City since last October.

Senior High Notes

The first issue of the Nautilus"
has been distributed at the school
and it is a distinct credit to the
Waterville public school system. A
feature of the paper this year is a
change in the cuts" most of which
are the work of Urban Dulac. A
mountain forest scene, by the same
student, makes a very appropriate
frontispiece, while four poems by
Clara Kyle, Eleanor Hilton, Francis
Smith and Marjorie Bragg reflect to
the credit of the English department.
A very complete school directory in
the back adds to the attractiveness
of the paper.
The cast for the schoo, play "Ill
Leave 1t to You" has been selected
by the coach, Cecil A. Rollins of
the Colby College faculty. Several
trials were necessary this year, as
there seemed to be a wealth of eX-
cellent material. The following stu
dents have been chosen for the cast:
Mrs. Dermott $1,000. Emily Kinney
Oliver ............. Gerald Johnson
Evangeline ........ Phyllis Farwell
Sylvia .......... Margaret McGann
Bobbie ............. Deane Quinton
Joyce ............. Eleanor Hilton
Daniel Davis ......-.. David Vigue
Mrs. Crombie ..... Geraldine Taylor
Faith Crombie Catherine Thompson
Griggs Henry McCracken
John Sawyer, Business Manager
The date for the presentation of
the annual play this year as Febru-
airy 18th and tickets will be in the
hands of the students very soon.
Patrons will undoubtedly welcome a
change to be made in the method
of checking tickets this year-check-
ing will start at 8 A. Il. in the City
Council rooms and only six tickets
may be exchanged for seat checks by
any one person In past years MEM
bers of the orchestra and play cast
were allowed to check six tickets
each before the general public. This
year no tickets will be exchanged
until the actual time for the check
ing to start and patrons will be
served III turn as they appear. All
seats on the lower floor aud first
balcony will be reserved.
There is on exhibition in Princi-
pal Mathews Office a silver cup
which is to be awarded in June to
the student who, sometime during
the school year. has earned w.
and who has earned the highest
scholastic average for the year.
Members of the various athletic
teams and their managers, members
of the band, of the orchestra and
of the debating teams are eligible
to compete for the cup.
