HID IN HOMES
By RICHARD HATTON

The terrible consequences of at
tempting to keep large sums Of
money in the home have been FIRE;
quently shown in the daily press.
Because of this and the hanker's
knowledge of economic loss to the
community through this method of
boarding, every effort is made by
reliable banking institutions to
stress the element of safety secured
by placing excess funds in savings
or other accounts where absolute
security is guaranteed.
500 ,OOO, 900 Hidden Away
It has been estimated that there
IL today hidden away in odd cor
iners, in mattresses. in jars and
closets in the United States about
500 ,0o0 900.
Not long ago the mother OF a
local business man told her son that
she had been saving certain sum
cut of her income and that she kept
1t in the mattress on her bed. The
son wisely called in a prominent
bank official and they found that
the mother had SIS GOO tucked away
in her bed Questioning and COM
putation brought out the fact that
had the money that she had been
putting in her mattress been de-
posted in an Understanding ac-
count the amount would have in
creased by $1,000.

year and leave absolutely good
checks ranging in value from IS to

Of gild, silver and bronze medals as
q testimony Of good work in English.
Notwithstanding the criticisms,
which are generally made tr-t Eng
lish is the most poorly fought Of all
subjects in our schools. Such criti-
cism is the favorite indoor sport for
a lar~- nun 'er of both parents and
educators. This suspicion Is not
borne out. however. by the facts, as
Maine young people in their college
work win more honor grades IN this
subject than any other.
From the oe'-- of the Commits
s.oner Of Education was mailed yes
terday the awards to Maine school
children who participated and were
successful in the Safety of the High
ways Essay Contest under the Ma
tional Highway Education Board.
These awards are one gold medal and
a SIS check to Carolina Skomro of
Winthrop, one silver medal and $40
to Ethel Avery of Bluehill and three
bronze medals and IS checks to Ralph

All Of these represent the elemen-
tary schools Of Maine, Her essay and
the essay of Carolina Skomro of
Winthrop will be entered in the Ma
tional Contest and they have the
chance to win other awards. No

know little or nothing. knowledge
makes for clear thinking. Clear
thinking gives to clear expression
and good English. Teachers should
take the opportunity to give their
students the practice afforded by
many of these essay contests which
have practical value. We have many

Ernest Rockwcod Priest

EAST-Ernest lockwood Priest
died after lingering illness Deem
her 18th, 1926 He was born October
"a. 1883. the son of Henry Allen and
Annie Pierce Priest of East Vassal-
boro, Me-, where his childhood and
youth were spent.
In 1900 Mr.. Priest was graduated
from Oak Grove Seminary and later
he became a student of Bowdoin col
lege. He was a member and an off,
cial of Friends church and served on
the Oak Grove Board of managers for
long term of years and also as Past
Master of Vassalboro Grange.
Although not unexpected, the news
of his death was sad shock to a
host of friends. Universally beloved
and a man of wife influence in busi-
ness circles, In public life and in re-
ligious activities, he will be long and
greatly missed. His life to earthly
vision was tragically short. Measured
in terms of manly living and of Chris
tian character, Mr.. Priests life was
not immature. To live well, with
simple faith, true to daily duties, to
