starting the general subscription move.
The names of the donors to this new
school building will be inscribed on a
tablet placed in the main corridor of the
new building. We are most of us forgot
ten in a day and surely no public spirited
citizen who can afford to do it, and there
are those who can, can have his name
carried down to posterity with more
respect, love and admiration, than by
making a subscription of $10,000 to Bel
fast’s new school building. The children
for many years to come, at least during
the life of the building, will see his name
on this tablet and appreciate what he has
done for them.
Belfast has its public-spirited citizens
as every other city. That has been dem
onstrated during the past few years. In
large matters such as this school building
proposition, they are here as well, and it
only remains for them to find themselves.
Belfast is composed of men and women
second to no other city in any particular.
Any one who does not have that concep
tion of his neighbors does not know (hem
or even himself.
With a new school building such as is
anticipated, the High School attendance
will in short order be at least doubled and
the population of Belfast considerably in
creased within a reasonable time.
Nothing can more contribute to a pro
gressive and larger Belfast than this High
School Building. In no other way can
our citizens do more to push the up
building of the city than through sub
scribing to this fund. When this building ;
has been accomplished, Belfast will be
known not only as the "Best and Smart- |
est City in Maine” but second to none in |
its educational advantages
The only way to raise this $40,00(1 is
TO DO IT and everybody contribute his
part. We must have at least five and we
hope ten $1,000 subscriptions. No amount
less than $500 will be solicited from any
individual until at least $20,000 has been
raised. After this the city will be combed
with a tine-tooth comb for such amounts :
as each of those remaining are able to
contribute. This is a work which belongs
to no one or dozen but to every citizen of
Belfast. Let every citizen make it his
immediate business.
The committee will appreciate it if
those contributing $500 or more will at
once hand their names and amounts to
be contributed to the Mayor. Eight :
months will be given within which to
pay the subscriptions. As soon as the!
$40,000 has been subscribed by the public, \
the Trustees of the fund will see that
$80,000 Liberty Bonds are at once pur- ;
chased to take advantage o4Mhe present i
low price, obtaining on the market.

Dedicated and Pastor Installed
The re-dedicatory exercises of the Uni- j
versalist church were held last Sunday
evening under the direction of ther newly
installed pastor, Rev. George C. Boom,
formerly of Portland The church edifice
has been p'aced in excellent repair in
every particular, including electric light
ing. The main vestry presents a most
inviting aspect with new paint, pictures,
etc. The kitchen is complete with mod- j
ern conveniences, while the library room
has been transformed into a comfortable
reception room with a home appearance
in furnishings, etc. The vestibule shows i
a great transformation and has two hand
some American flags draped on the wall 1
at the head of the step leading into the
auditorium. The decorations of the walls
in the auditorium are in Colonial gray |
with white window casings, white on the '■
wood work of the organ with gold leaf on j
the pipes. All this has been accomplished
without incurring debt and is a great
credit to ail concerned.
I iie decorations Sunday were simple,
but most effective. Screens of asparagus
with bands of American holly graced the ;
corners on either side of the pulpit. The
platform and pulpit were a bower of green
brightened with an abundance of the red
berries of the American holly. Two
symmetrical bay trees in green tubs were
on either side of the communion table, j
while jardinieres and vases of the green
and berries were placed on pulpit and '
stands. A small silk Hag was also on the '•
platform.

of the Methodist church. The Congrega
tionalism Baptist and Episcopal churches
are at present without pastors, but repre
sentatives from them all were in the audi
ence.
Rev Ashley A, Smith of Bangor, for
fourteen years a very popular pastor of
this church and to whose efforts the hap
py event was most largely due, was pres
ent to express his great pleasure and ap
preciation at what has been accomplished
and to urge the continuance of co-opera
tion He commended the motto recently
selected, “Harmony and Enthusiasm."
Mr. Smith said that of the 25 years of
his ministry “the happiest moment is
now Mr. Boom's remarks evinced a
vital interest in his own church and par
isi. a broad-minded and manly attitude
in regard to fellowship with the other
pastors and churches and a:i earnest de
sire to have a part in community up
building and general welfare. He lias
come to Belfast with the purpose of
serving not only his church, but the city.
Rev. Vaughan and Wilson were happy

tions and most friendly in their recep
tion of the new paste r.

Henrietta L., widow of the 'ate William
H. Beckwith, died at her home at City
I Point, Oct. 12th. She was bcrn in Cam
bridge, Mass., Sept. 28, 1856, the daughter
of Thomas and Henrietta (Bullen) Bixby.
Her early married life with Mr. Beckwith
was spent in W'aldo, but for the past ten
years she bad made her home at Cily
I Point. She was a regular attendant at
•he church in North Belfast and was a
devoted wife and mother. Mr. Beckwith
died several years ago. She is survived

The Belfast Chautauqua Alumni
The annual meeting of the C. L. S. C.
Alumni, an organization including all
Chautauquin graduates, who have com
pleted a four years’ course in reading and
study comprising history, literature, sci
ence and art and who have received
a diploma from the C. L. S. C. Insti
tution of Chautauqua, New York, was
held Thursday afternoon, October 9th, at
the home of the President, Miss Isabel
Ginn. A large attendance of interested
C. L. S. C.’s were present. At each an
nual meeting some new graduates have
finished the Chautauqua course of study
and are entitled to membership. At this
date five C. L. S. C. students of the 1918
class “The Arthurians” had completed
the four years’ Chautauqua work, had
received the highest rank and seals with
their diplomas, and were admitted to
membership. The singing of C. L. S. C.
songs and responsive reading, then let
ters from absent members were read by
the president and secretary. These mem
bers whose residences are now in other
cities and in some instances in other
States remembered the occasion by the
written message of cheer and encourage
ment; two enclosing quotations expres
sing their love for and interest in Belfast
Chautauqua Alumni, although several
years have passed since they were per
mitted to meet with us. Business mat
ters received attention and the same offic
ers were re-elected for the corning year:
President, Miss Isabel Ginn; Vice Presi
dent, Mrs. Evelyn Frost; Secretary and
Treasurer, Miss L. A. Cochran. Miss
Isabel Ginn has most efficiently filled the
office of president seven years and C. L.
S. C. work can surely succeed under aer
guidance for the next year l'he social
hour followed. As the alumni represents
C. L. S. C. graduates from C. L. S. C.
classes of the year 1888 to the year 1918,
these social reunions are much enjoyed.
A representative of the "Plymouth Rock”
class of 1888. Mrs. A L. MoKeen, and one
from the “Argonaut” class of 1889, Mrs.
Sarah Lewis, added pleasure to this meet
ing. We hope they may be present at
many like gatherings. An invitation was
given to the dining room to partake of the
“Chautauqua Feast” where each guest
found a dainty place-card with her name,
and a 1 were soon enjoying the feast of
delicious food so temptingly arranged.
The tables were decorated with bouquets
of gladiolus, the class flower of the 1918
graduates. Mrs. A. L. McKeen as toast
mistress was responded to by several
memoers of the different Chautauqua
classes. As all pleasant occasions must
have an end so '.bis, the eighteenth alum
ni meeting, has passed, but the memory
of it will often be recalled by Belfast
Chautauquans.
