Editor Ellsworth American:
May l have the privilege of in
| sorting a few words in your paper ?
In your last weeks issue appeared an
ARTICLE relative to the Ellsworth
Chrysler basketball game, and
disparaging remarks concerning the
officiating of Ollie Berg
Being a native of Ellsworth, and
having participated i'll athletics when
| games were played on the field by
| sports and not in the newspapers by
! backbiters; when Ellsworth enjoyed
| reputation throughout the county
| and State as being good losers as
well as good winners, and when out
! side teams, such as baseball, football
and hose-racing teams, almost in
variably chose Ellsworth as the meet
ing ground for their athletic activities.
| because these outside teams were
sure of square DEAL and a royal
| welcome from Ellsworth fans,
whether they won or lost, it is no
more than natural that l should de-
.plore the condition that now seems
to exist in Ellsworth. l have heard
rumors of this condition in Ellis
worth for the past year, but have
always maintained my loyalty to her
until I read the last article in your
paper.
To my own satisfaction, at least,
l have investigated this game, and
was informed that the team eX-
pressed themselves as perfectly salts
fed with Mr.. Berg's officiating;
again, was informed that the man.
agement of the Ellsworth team re-
peatedly expressed itself as thor
oughly satisfied with Mr.. Berg's Of
ficiating Now, if these remarks
were sincere, it seems to me there is
an element which has entered into
the athletic life of Ellsworth which
the town would be better off without,
if it still desires to maintain It's
reputation as one of the cleanest
sporting towns in the State.
Furthermore, l believe it would
do well to emulate the sportsman
ship of it's high school athletics. |
really believe that any fair-minded
fan of Hancock county will take OH
its hat to the Ellsworth high school,
its principal, both former and pres
ent, it's coaches, it's boys and girls, as
good, clean, athletic sports, and a
credit to any community.
The part I deplore more than any
thing else is the fact that MIR. Berg
left Ellsworth with the feeling, as
expressed to him by Ellsworth fans
and management, that his work was
satisfactory, and then such an article
should appear in your paper; ana,
furthermore, I am surprised that the
editor would allow such an article
inserted in his paper without at least
it's being signed.
Messrs Utterback and Gleason, OF
Bangor are too honorable to en-
ploy such questionable tactics OF
bribing or trying to persuade ref
cree to throw game for their team.
Yours for clean sport,
Winfield E. Clark.

"BEHIND THE FRONT"
A War Picture that is Different
Laughter the Theme.

Laughter, not slaughter, is the rul-
ing theme of Behind the Front,
Paramounts contribution to the
story of the great war, which comes
to the Dirigo theatre next Monday
and Tuesday.
Behind the Front" is a comedy OF
the A. E. F., which features the hu-
NOR, adventures, and disillusionment
of a couple of dumb doughboys'
played by that inimitable character
team, Wallace Berry and Raymond
Hatton..
Their roles are taken from life,
for every battalion had two such
characters, who served to furnish
laughs for their buddies and plenty
of mix-ups and trouble for their
superiors.
Through the whole story runs
fine thread of romance, with beautl-
full Mary Brian playing the role or
a Red Cross worker in France. The
supporting cast include Chester
Conklin, Richard Arlen, Louise Lor-
raine and Gertrude Astor.-Advt.

TO REORGANIZE.
Ellsworth Board of Trade to he
ReSurrected


The business citizens of Els
| worth met last Friday afternoon at
! o'clock in the board of trade room,
| to discuss the question of reOrganiz-
! ing the board of trade.
For years this organization in the
city has not been all that it should
be. 1t has been reorganized num-
Der of times, and fresh attempts made
to arouse enthusiasm among the
business men and women. In each
case, interest was shown for the first
two or three meetings, then the at
tendance would diminish and finally
there would be but ten or fifteen
members who continued to show IN
terest and tried to keep the OrganlZa-
ton functioning. These few work
ers have always been ready for any
enterprise in the interest of bust
ness and the welfare of Ellsworth,
but the remaining fifty or seventy
five business citizens of the city have
not been behind the work.
This matter was warmly discussed
at the meeting, with the idea of
founding a new organization tna1
would create interest among all or
the business people of the city, to
see if something could not be done
to overcome the present lethargy in
business and arouse business men and
women to a realization of the neces-
sity of a successful board of trade.
With this object in view, a COM
mittee was appointed to reorganlze
the board of trade. The committee
consists of M. l.. Adams, H. A. Robin
son. e. F. Robinson, P. E. Kearns and
e. G. Moore.
The business men and women OF
Ellsworth will be given another OPP
portunity to show whether or not
they will work together through
hoard of trade for the business de-
velopment of Ellsworth.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1926-03-24
Too much politics.
Too much business jealousy.

We might add to these, lack of
corporation, but that is an effect
rather than a cause.
II the business and professional
men of Ellsworth would cut out
politics in local affairs and jealous
les in business affairs, they could pull
together on other matters, create
public-spirited and progressive COM
munity in which knockers" would
be ostracized, and bring a prosper
ity to the city, to themselves, AND
TO OTHERS, that would furnish the
newspapers with some publicity
worth while.
There are men in Ellsworth who
would be great "lifters' if they
could lift themselves by their own
bootstraps, but they won't pull an
ounce if it helps anyone else.
Let us see how it works out. A
half dozen men band together to bring
a big county fair to Ellsworth each
year, and benefit every business man
in the city. They lay out lot of
money, which they hope, in the
course of time, to get back from the
proceeds of the fair. incidentally, II
the fair should prove big financial
success, they might, in the remote
future. even realize little profit
themselves. And there's the rub. SO
we find a half-dozen men pulling
together one way, and three dozen
standing on the corners and knock
ing" because somebody might get a
little more publicity little more
praise or little more profit than
they.
We cite this as just one instance.
On the next proposition, some of
these same knockers" may be
slifters," and, inconsistency, expect
ing general cooperation.
Now let us assume that the board
of trade, or the merchants associa-
ton, or the chamber of commerce, or
whatever it may be called for the
time, is redivivus-spurredt to life by
some proposed industrial enterprise.
There is an enthusiastic meeting
everybody invited, whether a member
Of the board of trade or not. The

DEBATING.
Ellsworth Loses to Bangor but Wins
at Newport

at Newport.
The second appearance OF ELS
worth high school in the debating
field showed that remarkable pro-
gress had been made. The debate
this year was on the question: Re
solved: "That the proposed child
labor amendment to the national
constitution should be ratified by
the State of Maine" Last Friday
night the affirmative team met Ban
gor at Ellsworth, and the negative
team met Newport at Newport.
In the Ellsworth debate at the
high school auditorium, Bangor won
by the ratio of 2 to 1, showing that
the decision was close. Benjamin
Whitcomb and Eleanor Carr, with
Dorothy Wheelden as alternate,
made up the home team. Newell
Kurson and Edward Stern, with
David Rudman as alternate, repre-
scented Bangor high school. Kurson
of Bangor was voted first speaker of
the evening.
Judge Crabtree presided at the de-
bate. The judges were Supt. George
Beard and Subprincipal George cum
mings, of Bar Harbor high school
and Judge l.. B. Deasy of Ellsworth.
Music was furnished by the h1gh
school orchestra.
The negative team, consisting OF
Redman Moore and Colby Foss, with
Parker Cushman as alternate, met
the Newport team at Newport, ana
won the debate unanimously. Red
man Moore was acclaimed hrst
speaker of the evening.
Ellsworth high is proud OF its de-
baters. To enter a new field, and IN
the second year present such fine
record, is something to be proud OF.

start; membership in the board of
trade means nothing.
Well, the industrial proposition is
lhreshed out at the meeting, and
public hopes run high. The paper
gives publicity, and helps to boost
the hopes. committee is appointed
to take up negotiations with the men
interested in the new enterprise.
And the meeting adjourns.
Next week, the reporter goes to
the members of the committee for
first hand information as to develop
ments and progress. What does he
get? "Oh don't say anything yet;
it might queer everything!" Next
week, and the next, the same or, as

he has some real publicity: 1.-The

effort on their part, or any failure

And the men on the corner, and
the business men (there are few
such) who are too mean or too lack

hammers.

proach to it of which we have ever
been guilty., and it has tried to

periences like that described, the
editor is likely Ito get little luke
warm on some propositions, and
then-he tries again.
Now, we know just what reaction
to expect from some of our readers.
First, there are the men who don't
want to hear the truth. They will
rap the editor for saying things that
'hurt Ellsworth" These men do not
bother us; editorial epidermis is
proof against them. Then there are
those who will read and smile and
say nothing. This does not concern
them, they think These men do
not bother us, either-nor bother
anyone else. They do not matter.
But the men who do bother us
and puzzle us-are the good fellows
who, tomorrow, will pat the editor
on the back for talking plainly and
telling the truth, and then some OF
these same men, than whom no man
would ask for better friends on earth,
will go back to their stores or to
their offices, each to trot out MS
own little pet jealousy-and feed 1t.
Ellsworth will never have worth
while or enduring business mems
organization until there is very
large mortality among these pets.
Until then, every attempt will be
but a flash in the pan.
