bers' cellars, waiting their turn to go
to market The rate at which they
breathe is a reflection Of the rate of
their ripening, and il depends, in part
at least, on the degree of chill to
which they are subjected.
DR.. A. J. Olney of the University
of Kentucky, working here on green
lunches supplied from the carGoes of
one of the large fruit importers, has
made a study of the respiration rates
of bananas, and Will report his re-
suits soon in the Botanical Gazette.
He found that bananas held at a
temperature of 20 degrees Centigrade,
or about 60 degrees on the ordinary
Fahrenheit scale, respired rapidly
and ripened at a corresponding rate.
At IL degrees Centigrade their breath
ing was only about one-third as rapid.
At this lower temperature ripening
was not only slowed down, but nor
NAL ripening was permanently pre-
vented even when the temperature
was raised to the more favorable
level. The low temperatures prevent

PROCLAMATION

Realizing the value of the Nation
of the broadening and deepening
of the love for music, and knowing
that music, being in the air by the
combined force of many people,
permeates into places, knocking at
many doors where it is unknown,
and entering where it is welcome,
I, Fred B. Douglas, Mayor of the
Town of Winslow, do hereby pro-
claim the week beginning May End
and ending May 8th, 1926. as Music
Week
The concentration of many mus
ical events into a single week has
for its purpose the awakening of
the whole community to the import
ance of music as factor in it's
life. The variety, as we'll as the
multiplicity of programs makes it
possible to reach the people with
the message of music in some form
and to demonstrate to every indi-
vidual that at least some type of
music appeals to and helps MIN.
The high ideals of Music Week
can only be accomplished through
the combined efforts of everyone in
the community and I therefore re-
quest and urge that every individ-
ual, club and organization Of Wins
low put forth it's greatest effort
to stimulate the desire for more
and better music.
