In short, We think the lieuten-

VERBAL FIREWORKS AT TOWN MEETING
Interesting Session Ex- pected Over War Bond
 Investment Wednesday

From all present indication the residents of Thomaston are about to witness another one of those town meeting which will live for years in their memory, when they attend the special session on Wednesday eve- ming in the town hall at 8 p. m.
 The meeting has been called for the purpose of placing the town of ThomaSton on official record to SUD- port the national security through the purchase of United States War Bonds from the surplus money which is in the town treasury.
 This meeting is the main subject of conversation in town, people in all walks have been heard to ex. press indignation over the fact that a mere handful of people have placed the town on official record not to invest in National Security or not to aid in any way the fight which our country is waging to de- feat Hitler and his Axis partners.
 Edward J. Ryan who fought vali- antly to have the town go on re- cord to invest in War Bonds stated today that the motion which was adopted by the annual town meeting to establish sinking fund for sew age disposal is illegal".
 Said MT. Ryan "the town does not have the right to adopt sinking fund for some purpose which does not already exist. The towns can adopt a sinking fund or a special fund only to defray the indebtedness of the town"
 'Thus, it can be readily realized that if the original motion to create a sinking fund is held illegal then the action which stipulated the de- position of such fund is automatic ally illegal, and the Attorney Gener- al's office will so rule, I am sure.
 "It now become the responsibility of every right thinking person in Thomaston to rise up in wrath at the manner in which a mere hand full of people have placed our town on official record not to invest in War Bonds, and the only manner in which our people can show their in- dignation is by attending the meet ing Wednesday evening.
 we owe 1t to ourselves, to Amer ica and to the 300 Thomaston boys who are now in the armed services of our country to do all we possibly can do to help bring this war to a successful conclusion for the United States and her Allies.
 "If the six thousand dollars which our town now has in a surplus fund will help to drive just one more nail into the coffin Of Hitler and his Axis partners then I say let's do 1t.
