THOMaS E. ANDREWS
Thomas t. Andrews, a man apparently
without relatives, home or friends, died
at midnight Tuesday, Feb. 8th, in the
Waldo County Hospital, where he had
been taken the Saturday before, suffering
with bronchial pneumonia and heart
trouble. Four weeks before he had been
brought to the county jail from Belmoul
with his feet frozen. He then claimed
the above name, said he was a native oi
Calais and that he was about seventy
years old. He was fond of talking about
what he called his misspent life, but
later admitted that there was little trutl
in what he had told. He failed rapidly
at the jail, where Sheriff and Mrs. Little
field gave him the best of care, the lattei
attending to his food consisting of gruel,
eggs, toast, etc. When taken to the hos
pital he gave his name as Thomas E
Andrews and his age as 55 years. Hi
expressed a wish to write a letter ti
Wallace W. Brown of Calais, but wai
not able to even dictate it. His remain!
were taken to the undertaking rooms o!
W luiam L. Cook and shipped on the no i
train February ^th to the Maine Medica
School at Brunswick. Dr. W. L. Wes'
of the Belfast Overseers of the Pool
called the chairman of the overseers oi
Calais, but they claimed he did not be
long there. Mrs. Cecil Clay, in behalf ol
0 l^rs of the Universalist church, callec
Mr. Brown of Calais, offering to ship hii
remains there, if desired, but that party
did not care to claim them and said tha
if he was the man from Calais he hai
been travelling under several differem
names. He had been in Belfast often ii
the past and always had a story designee
to act on the sympathy of the officers.

ihe Basket Ball Situation
There is arising a fear in the minds of
many, truly interested in the High school,
that the athletic aifairs of this season
will not be conducive to t he best result!
for the next few years.
Those who remember the successful
base ball team that the High school had
in 1914, and the effect of the professional
team that was played next year, will un
derstand the feeling. The professional
element in the past ruined base ball, and
action must be taken if another popular
sport is not to be made so common as to
destroy its backing in the community.
Because of this the High school feels it
necessary to put its side of the argument
before the citizens of Belfast, and to ask
their careful consideration and judgment.
Until this year the High school, and the
High school alone, has had control of
basket ball activities in the city.
Many will recall the team of 1910 which
so well justified their claim to champion
ship. After that, naturally, the material,
while good, as High school material, with
training, always can be, was not above
the average, until last year, when we
were able to put forward a team that few
in the State couli equal.
Great numbers of the citizens turned
out to the games and good proceeds w’ere
realized. As it was not recessary, as it
is this year, to pa*y for the Armory, thg
greater part of the door receipts were net
gain. What was done with this money?
Every cent of it was turned over to
the High School fund. In supporting
the High School games the citizens mere
ly contributed to the erection of our new
school building.
This year we intended to do the same,
but through several untoward events,
there will be a sum to turn over to the
city government that will be very small
in comparison to the $700 that the schools
! contributed last year.
But it is not about this year that we
are so much concerned, although we
were forced to take an action that was
; not altogether pleasing to school or citi
zens.
This is our complaint
The High School team last year popu
larized the game of Basket Ball in this
city, and now we find this same popular
ity put to commercial purposes by a
group not connected with the High
. School, and being done, in a measure,
for private gain.
It is impossible tor two teams, com
' posed practically of different players, to
be alike in excellence, and this year the
High School found itself with a splendid
team, but of inexperienced and unseusa
tional players, with for rivals, not but in
play but attendance, a private team
composed of men who had been playing
1 for years. Our attendance fell off and we
were left with the contract for the Arm
ory to pay and small prospects for rais
ing the money to pay it unless we chang
ed our tactics.
In order to give the public a show
worth its money, we were forced to
make a new line-up, composed of two
High School men and three townsmen,
two of whom, however, were Belfast
Alumni, and one of these a member of
last year's team.
This team has drawn crowds that fill
the Armory, and equal any of last year.
Thus it is not from a monetary stand
point that we complain.
We are atraid of a precedent that will
commercialize a game that is properly
scholastic, and in a few years, remove
Irom the High school its most general
sport and the one from which it makes
all pecuniary gains.
We crave your support, not for this
year alone, but for the succeeding years.
Not a cent that we receive goes to a
cause that is not for the public welfare.
As has been said before, all money above
student expenses goes to the new High
school.
If there is to be more than one team,
we feel that all should be under the con
trol 01 one authority. In the case of
Camden the Y. M. C. A. has this power
and the scheme is successful.
As there is not a Y'. M. C. A. in Bel
fast we shall have to organize a Com
munity Athletic Club, in which the High
i school and citizens will be represented,
i and this organization will have complete
I control, through a proper committee of
i ( the business management of the games.
i , Must we form such a club this year?
• 1 The High school puts this very serious
! I matter in the consideration of the citi
r zens of Belfast and asks advice and co
- operation. Shall we receive it?
i We seem to stand at the parting of the
i ways. Shall Basket Ball remain a pure
! High .school activity, or shall it be com
t mercialized, and if so in what manner?
The Hig'i school has presented its case
- and awaits yoi r action.
r Respectfully,
II Bartlett Whiting,

A class in 1 Home Hygiene and Care of
the Sick,” made up of 15 High school
girls, was started Jan. 25th. Classes will
be held Tuesday and Thursday afternoons
of each week from 3 to 4.3b until the
course is completed. Fifteen lessons are
included, and are on "Causes and Pre
vention of Sickness;” “Health and the
Home;” “Babies and Their Care;” “Indi
cations ol Sickness;” “Equipment and
Care of the Sick Room;” “Beds and Bed
making;” “Baths and Bathing;” “Appli
ances and Methods for the Sick Room;”
“Feeding the Sick;” “Medicines and
Other Remedies;” “Application of Heat,
Cold and Counter Irritants;” “Care of
Patients With Communicable Diseases;”
Common Ailments and Emergencies; and
Special Points in the Care of Children,
Convalescents, Chronics and the Aged.
Several other young ladies, as well as
adults, are interested in these lessons,
and have made inquiry regarding another
class or other classes being organized. I
feel we should make special effort to give
as many of those interested as possible
an opportunity to take this course.
Scales suitable for weighing both babies
and adults, presented by Miss Anne Cros
by, have been received aud are ready for
use, and to the public should like to say:
All mothers interested in the weight of
their babies or children are invited to
visit the office on Fridays between 2.30
and 3.30 p. m. If a child should show
any sign of communicahje disease, such
as rash, sore throat, cold, inllamed eyes,
etc., or has recently been exposed to any
contagious disease do not bring him as
this might endanger the health of other
children.
Respectfully,
Sadie M. Nickerson, P.H.N.

Di. Foster C. Small occupied the Uni
versalist pulpit last Sunday morning to
assist the minister, Rev. Wm. Vaughan,
in giving the address on the laymen’s
movement. There was a goo 1 sized au
dience and most favorable comment is
heard of Dr. Small's presentation of the
popular subject that means so much to
the vital life of this denomination. He was
logical, enthusiastic and loyal, a good ex
ample of Maine laymen. Jot n E. Cous
ensof Chestnut Hills, Mass., very well
known in Belfast, where he has always
visited, spoke in the Universalist church
of Waltham, Mass., on the laymen
theme.
The Universalist Sunday school opened
last Sunday with a large attendance. The
officers chosen for the ensuing year were:
Supt., William Vaughan, Jr.; Asst. Supt.,
George Elemdorf; President S S. Asso
ciation, Olive Morse; Secretary and Treas
urer, Florence Donnell; chairman music

Much interest and enthusiasm is being

Church school at noon. Men’s Forum at
12.15. Stereopticon lecture at 7.30 p.
m. Strangers and visitors cordially wel
comed at all the services.
The wide variety of subjects introduced
in the Men’s Forum continue to interest
the men who attend. Last Sunday the
pastor spoke on the subject “The Church
and Democracy.” The discussion which
followed was not confined to the hour of
meeting, but was continued by some of
the members after the forum closed. It
is to be hoped more of our men will en
deavor to attend and receive the benefit
of these frank and inte estiug discussions.
Mr. Fred W. Brown will be the speaker
next Sunday.
The picture talk last Sunday was in
tensely interesting and should have been
heard by all our people. It showed the
price which has been paid from ancient
times down to the present for the liber
ties we enjoy, the incessant struggle
against tyranny and might for civic, re
ligious, political and economic freedom.
Truly “others have labored and we have
entered into their labors.” It is for us to
see that the priceless heritage of freedom
is handed down from us to our children.
In these days when crowns are tumbling
in the dust and thrones are tottering to
their fall, it is well for us to remember
that our fathers established a form of
government that is likely to prevail
through all the changes of this period of
transition, and is destftied to be the ulti
mate form of government for the nations
of the world. Therefore, let every man
who glories in the republican form of
government, and who thinks it is worth
preserving, pledge anew allegiance to the
Flag, and to the Republic for which it
stands, and be the sworn foe of lawless
ness, anarchy, Bolshevism, and all forces
[ that are at work for the overthrow of a
government which oilers liberty and jus
tice for all. If you want to hear more
about this form of government, then plan
to hear the eighth picture-taik in the
“Better America” series next Sunday
evening at 7 30 Subject, "The Republic
as a Golden Mean Between Autocracy
and Democracy.” Orchestral music.
Singing led by Mr. bert L. Davis.
i The First baptist church. Rev
ueorge C. Sauer, pastor; residence, IS
Cedar; telephone, 123-11. The services
of worship on Sunday are at 10.45 and
7.30. Bible school at 12 o’clock. Chris
tian Endeavor at 0.30 Thursday at 7.3C
the mid-week service. The public is
heartily invited to attend.
Pastor Sauer’s sermon themes for Sun
day, Feb. 20th, morning, New Testamenl
Evangelism; evening, "Samson, and the
Loss of the Inner Light.” February is
the month of evangelism with m ny
Baptist churches throughout the United
States, when the duty of the Christian is
spec ally emphasized by inviting friends
to the services of the church and for
looking up families and individuals who
should attend some church and to render
assistance to such as may be in need.
These services will be made attractive by
a variety of excellent music and singing
by orchestra, choruses, quartettes and
solos, and a hearty invitation is extended
to the public to participate in these ser
vices as they have opportunity.
Interesting exercises of graduation were
held in the Sunday school last Sunday of
a class of children from Miss Mathews’
department into the main school. The
address was made by Mr. Frost, and he
captivated the hearts of the older ones as
well as the children. He gave the officers
and teachers the greatest of encourage
ment when ne said that all his experience
in connection with our school he had
never seen a larger or more promising
body of young people of fifteen years old
and younger, than is now with us. The
registration of the school for the day was

Church activities for the week: Mon

Charles and Alphonso Collins, who had

direction of Lewis F. Marden, have drain
ed the surface water off and have found
beneath ice about Id inches thick and be
gan cutting Tuesday, hoping to secure in
good condition about GOO tons. They are
using gasoline power saws and have two
on the place, one of which made a record
recently in Foxcroft in cutting 1400
cakes, 22 by 44 inches in two and one
I half hours. They also have an endless
power chain that loads the ice on the
j teams, arid Tuesday loaded 8 cakes in 47
seconds. The company will cut S900 tons

I Belfast Boy Scouts have been ever ready
j in the past to do their part of •public
work in all the campaign* which have
been conducted ia a public nature and

camping trip in the summer will goffer
much encouragement to the Scouts and
certainly be appreciated by those who
have given much valuable time to the
work in the past five or six years.
Good Community Spirit. Bert L.
Davis, president of the Belfast Chamber
of Commerce, returned from their visit
to Islesboro Tuesday night decidedly en
thusiastic, and every mem her seemed to
share in that spirit. A most delicious
and bountiful supper was served in Ma
sonic hall by the ladies of the Eastern
Star, which was followed by community
singing, led by President Davis. Then '
all adjourned to the town hall, where the
program was opened by more community
singing. Then came a cordial address of
welcome by President Williams of the
Islesboro Board of Trade, who called
James H. Howes of Belfast -as master of
ceremonies. After a few remarks en
couraging and thoughtful as he always
is, Mr. Howes presented W. R. Howard,
who was grave, gay, logical and witty in
presenting thoughts that concerned the
benefits of organizations all live towns
need. As usual, he capped his climaxes
with pat stories. When introduced May
or C. W. Wescott reac a serious paper on
present day conditions when all should
work and produce, not leisurely, but with
a rush. It is absolutely necessary to lay
aside the fad for short hours and big pay
for the business interests of the country
at large will not stand for that spirit.
President Davis combined stories, re
marks and songs in a very entertaining
manner, responding generously to eu
cores. Morris L. Slugg then summed up
briefly what had been said and also add
ed thoughts of a brighter future. Mc
