Of the Attorney General is withheld

The original removal proceedings
were instituted by the State, and 1t
would seem that in view of the d.

Stopping of Free
Collection Rubbish
Meets with DisfavOr

The decision of the city authori-
ties to do away with the free col
lection of rubbish in the residential
sections of the city has met with
considerable disfavor, it was evident
from the comments made by a num-
Der of people yesterday.
The action is particularly dis
pleasing to the Board of Education,
Who will now have to pay for the
removal Of rubbish from their own
appropriation. This will place an
unexpected burden on the board, 1t
IL pointed out, and it is quite GER
TAIN that the matter will be discuss
ed at length at the next meeting. Re-
ports have it that objections have
already been filed with number of
sioermen and councilmen who will
nave petitions signed by citizens for
.he resumption of the free collection
70 present at the regular meeting
u the city government next week.
Ihose who are opposed to the new
IIuilng called attention to the fact
mat DR.. William j. Young, the
ety health officer, has stated in the
past That the collection of the refuse
,.as peen a great aid to his depart
a'ent and that the good health
..ecord OF the city has been caused,
" no small degree, by it.

cal director of the club, and 1t was
opened by the cadet class, made up of
those youngsters who are 10 years of

that would have done justice to col
lege class in physical education and
their part of the program was ended
by two thrilling games of handball.
Wallace Terry and Bernard Larsen

ing bout. Much enjoyed were two
rounds of skill.ful boxing by Kid Pat
terson and Young Meader. the bout
giving some of those present their first
insight into the sport.
Roy Adams proved himself adept as
a juggler. Members of the Junior B
division provided some finished calls
themes, including a wand drill. The
Bouncing Trio made UP of Butler, Ma
heu and Matthew, with the assistance
of Mr.. Bernhard provided one of the
features of the evening.
The intermediate division provided
its share of the program with pyramid
building and a game of volleyball
which ended the exhibition.
The various rooms of the club were
open for inspection and they were Wis
tied by many of the guests.

|COmm'r Thomas
Urges Movement to
Wipe Out Illiteracy
From State of Maine
Especial to Kennebec JournaD


Portland, Me-, April 29.-Coopera-
ton Of fraternal organizations in wip-
ing out illiteracy from the State was
urged by DR.. Augustus o. Thomas,
State commissioner Of education, in a
radio message broadcast this evening
from station WCSH of this city.
I'VE pride ourselves on having a
country which offers equal opportuni-
ties for an education to all the peo-
pie, yet We stand ninth among the
nations in illiteracy." asserted Com
missioner Thomas. 1--WE hav five mil
lion blind to letters and five million
near blind. For the sake of our own
conscience, because of our pride and
because Of what it will do for them,
these Americans should receive atten-
ton. 1t is our job. Patriotism ought
to require it. Lover OF felIowmen
should compel it.
1.-THE states should see to it, through
properly enforced compulsory educa-
ton laws, that no new group of Hit
crates comes up from childhood and
that immigration excludes those who
cannot read and write. In addition
we should net UP crusade in all
states to redeem iliterates from the
darkness which enshrouds them. The
National Illiteracy Crusade, headed
by William Allen White as president
and by Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart
distinguished for service, as director
is seeking a coalescence of the Ma
tional Parent-Teacher Association, Ma
tional Federation of Womens Clubs
and the National League Of Women
Voters and other service organiza-
tons in crusade to make this a lit
crate nation before the 1880 census
is taken. The United States Govern
ment should set up definite standard
Of literacy and this should be known
to all our people so that we may be
working upon the same basis. Let us
make our slogan of America, the
Land of Opportunity living reality
and safeguard the future by actually
giving to all our people the opportuni-
ty to learn to read and write and to
carry their investigations to the full
est extent of their ability to accept
an education.
~NdtloHdl ana state committees OF
the Federated Women's Clubs are also
rendering a great service in this par
ticular. In Maine, according to the
last census, we have 20,240 illiterates.
OF these, 1864 are foreign born:
1870 are males of voting age and
1852 are females of voting age. This
leaves 1,66S .illiterates below the age
Of 81. Ten years ago, We had 2,9o7
Juvenile illiterates. IN this we have
made fine Roadway. Since our juvenile
illiteracy has been reduced over 43
per cent. in 10 years, there is no rea-
son why Maine should have a single
illiterate who has the mentality to
receive the impact of an education
by 1880.

Traffic Lines Are
Now Marked Off

Men were at work yesterday after
noon painting the angular parking
lines on Main street and from now on
motorists are expected to use the
stalls which have been marked off and
to confine their cars to separate
spaces. The system is the same that
was in use last year when it won the
hearty approval of the police.
An innovation in traffic regulations
in Waterville this year is the designa-
ton of a safety zone on either side OF
Main street in front of the electric
car waiting room. 1t is thought this
will be a great help in facilitating
traffic matters in that motorists viii
be able to pass electric cars while they
are taking and leaving passengers.
Commencing Saturday. Center street
is to be a one-way thoroughfare and
entrance to 1t must be made from Post
office Square. Starting the same date,
traffic officers will be stationed In Post
once Square and at the junction OF
Main and Silver streets.

THE point to remember when buys
l. ing breakfast oats is that only
Quaker Oats have the rich Quaker
favor that you want.
One package of oats without that
flavor may spoil your breakfasts for q
week.
The price you pay Is the same.
Thus trying" substitute is folly.
Quaker favor is the result of soma
50 years milling experience. No other
oats has it. Quaker milling, too, re-
tains much of the bulk" of oats. And
that makes laxatives less often needed.
Get Quick Quaker, which cooks in
5 to minutes, or regular Quaker
Oats as you have always known.
Your grocer has both kinds.
