lection of charm.
Guests we're allowed to inspect
the place thoroughly, including the
new lodge which is being completed
on the opposite slope, and which is
said to be the largest log cabin in
the world. This has ninety rooms to
accommodate summer guests, all of
which have been engaged for
September and October.
At Z O'Clock, in the long dining
hall which extends the entire length
of the club house facing the lake,
and lighted by many electric candles,
a delicious banquet was served con-
sisting of
Cream of Celery Soup
Beef Steak
French Fried Potatoes
Green Peas
Hot Rolls
Salad, Cakes, Ice-Cream
Demi tasse
The table decorations were bowls
| of sweet peas, and music was in evil
dence during the banquet. In the
hall little bear cub, very life-like,
stood guard, holding out in either
paw to all corners, leaflets and liter
ature all about Observation-Disclosures.
The little fellow attracted almost as
much attention as If he had been
alive in these lovely native haunts
of his, instead of being "only
stuffed"
After the banquet, President Rob-
| inson presided at short business
| meeting, followed by the introduce
ton Of Rev. Albert ]. Lord of Meri-
den, Conn, to whom hearty well
come was extended. Mr.. Lord, is an
Ellsworth boy, having been born in
| Ellsworth Falls He talked in
very entertaining way on reminis-
cences of the old days of his boyhood
here. He said his fathers name was
| Lord, and his mothers name was
| Flood, and he recalled an old joke
which his relatives used to voice by
| repeating the passage of scripture
| which reads: "And the Lord said
there shall be no more Floods"
He also told of time when his
father promised to take him to his
first circus in Bangor, nearly fifty
years ago. They went with the old
white horse, and were obliged to
make long trip of it, starting the
y.
''In this instance" he said, 1--WE
way house, or Phillips House, as it
was called, and which has been re-
modelled into this present beautiful
first circus, which, in spite of so
many long hills Mann's hill,
Haynes hill, and all the other hills
they reached at last, and of which
they saw every bit, side shows and
all.
Mr.. Lord complimented the Ellis
worth Chamber of Commerce and
expressed his pleasure that women
were included as members for he said
that1the successful chamber of COM
merce of today needs both men and
women, and suggested that men and
women of Ellsworth broadcast what
is being done in the city that is
worth while, as so many other places
are doing, keeping for watchword
Getting Together and Working To-
gether."
Mr.. Lords "reminiscences were fol-
lowed by an interesting and dis
tinctive talk on Russia, by DR..
HOllIdo Ndu4NOoo, pdSCOI VI IAc SCI
ond Unitarian church of Brookline,
Mass. DR.. Van Ness dubbed him
self "globe-trotter," having been
to Russia on several protracted Wis
it's, but said he had found no beauty
anywhere to compare with that in
Maine, particularly in Hancock
county, and he came here to estab-
lish his summer home.
He took his audience on a short
trip to Russia, which he called our
nearest neighbor by water, and
where, he says, the Slav will play
conspicuous part in the world be-
fore many years. We may not live
to see it, but the younger genera
lions will. He spoke of the con-
ditions existent in Moscow today as
being much worse than before the
war. The streets there, as he ex-
pressed it, "are confusion confound-
ed"-crowds, rabble, where the
poor run riot in rags and filth, un-
kempt and uncared for. But in
closing he said that the Russian
communist flag, which is red, stands
for brotherhood, and prophesied
that we shall see the day when blue
and white will be added to the red
on this flag, meaning prosperity and
love.
Among the out-of-town guests
who attended the banquet were DR..
Edwin Clark of Akron, Col, Mrs.
Harold H. Clark, of Springfield,
Mass, Rev. and Mrs. George S.
Brookes of Rockville, Conn, and
Mrs. Esmond Rice of Waban, Mass.
The next meeting will be held at
Ellsworth, Thursday, Sept. 9. At
this time the fifteen boys and girls
selected in Hancock to attend the ex-
| position at Springfield, Mass, will
