ROTARIANS HEAR
bridge ENGINEER
AT SUPPER SESSION

Speaking before the Rotary club al
the regular weekly session held Fri
day evening in the banquet room al
the Augusta House. Llewellyn n. Ed :
wards, Bridge Engineer of the State
Highway Department, told his hear
ers of the development of bridge con-
struction to meet the changing de-
mands of traffic and transportation
His talk was Interestingly illustrat-
ed by a series of steroptican views
and showed the progress in bridge
design and construction, particularly
in this state.
Mr.. Edwards traced the develop
ment of ways and roads from the foot
and bride paths of pioneer days to
the modern highways of macadam or
concrete adapated to the heavy traf-
f1c of motor vehicles, and declared
that the development Of bridge build
ing has been even more remarkable
than that of the highways.
| Fe paid a tribute to- the bridge
carpenters whose handiwork remain
as splendid memorials to their pain
! stalking construction. There builders
of wooden bridges knew nothing OF
bridge engineering. but there are in
Maine several of the wooden covered
bridges which were so sturdily built
that they carry the ht2yy traffic OF
the present day.
Then came the bridge engineers
whose work is scientifically applied
to meet the requirements Of all con-
ditions of traffic and location.
Speaking at some length on The
Importance of proper bridge construc-
ton, Mr.. Edwards called attention tc
| the fact that more motor vehicle ac-
cidents occur on bridges or imme-
diately adjacent to bridge structures
than on any comparable stretch OF
highways.
One new member was introduced

PROGRAM AUGUSTA GIRLS COMMUNITY CLUB

To have Miss Gladys GAYLORD
secretary OF the Massachusetts
League Of Girls Clubs, in Augusta
Tor a short visit will be a source of
warm delight to the members of the
Augusta Girls Community Club. To
meet Miss Emma S. Alden, also from
the Massachusetts League, will be an
especial treat as Miss Alden has NOT
been able to visit the Augusta Club
before, and to have both of these
people here at the time of the A. G,
Z. c.. rally to share in the program
next Monday evening-words of an
probation fail!
Miss Gaylord comes as familiar
friend to practically the whole COM
munity, for she has spent quite a
little time with the Augusta club,
and by her attractive, personality
and her keen interest in girls. their
joys and their problems, and her un-
outstanding of what they mean 10
the city as a whole, she has won a
host of friends in Augusta who win
be glad to bid her welcome.
All girls who have been fortunate
enough to go as delegates from the
Augusta Club to the Massachusetts,
League convention have returned
with whole praise for Miss
Alden. her kindly sympathy and
sweet friendliness. Miss Alden g
particularly interested in the A. G.
