Dorothy Gish, the .mmitable come
dienne of Paramount pictures, in what is
considered her richest comedy “Little
Miss Rebellion.’; The part ofthe grand
duchess is ideal for her and she again
demonstrates why she is called the most
orginal actress on the screen. Her ges
tures and mannerisms are always a de
light to watch. As the grind duchess
she experiences various trials, but her
sense of humor comes to the rescue and
saves her from despair. The picture is a
rare comedy and is thoroughly enjoyable
Miss Gish is supported by the capable
Ralph Graves, George Seigman and Riley
Hatch. George Fawcett, the veteran ac
tor, is the director.
Ihomas H. lnce’s second production
for the Associated Producers, the famous
organization composed of Ince, Mack
Sennett, Marshall Neilan, Maurice Tour
neur, Allen Dwan, George Tucker and J.
Parker Read, Jr., will be presented at the
Colonial soon. It is “Lying Lips, ” a
great drama of life and love, with spec
tacular scenes and situations never before
equalled on the screen. Personally sup
ervised by Thomas H. In;e.
LLEWELLYN HANSON.
The death of Llewellyn Hanson occur
red Feb. 9th at his home in Searsmont, at
the age of 78 years and 10 months. He
was born in Hiram, Me., the son of
Stephen and Susan (Mansfield) Hanson.
His parents kmoved to Camden when he
was 3 years of age; and his boyhood days
were spent there. He was a Civil War
veteran, serving in the 19th Maine Regi
ment. His wife, Lucy (Whitney) Hanson
died live years ago. Four daughters sur
vive him—Mrs. Everett E. Whitney of
Appleton, Mrs. Milton E. Young of Cam
den, Susie and Fannie Hanson of Sears
mont; one nephew, Fred A. Hanson of
Camden; one granddaughter Jennie M.
Whitney of Appleton. Mr. Hanson was
a highly respected citizen and will be
greatly missed. Funeral services were
held from his late home Saturday after
noon, Rev. Arthur E. Wilson of Belfast
officiating. The interment was made in
Mountain street cemetery, Camden.
Members of Aurora Rebekah Lodge
had one of the best suppers in their his
tory Tuesday night, when the men of the
order catered and served.
1 he Legislature.
A few weeks ago we believed the pres
ent session of the legislature would be
a comparatively short one. We have
chan ed our mind. It now appears that
the final adjournment will not be made
till some time in April. Our Solons have
become inquisitive, are making investi
gations and are calling for itemized state
ments from heads of departments. This j
will take some time, if the investigations
are comprehensive and thorough and will !
probably lead to some stormy sessions in
committee rooms and in the legislative
chambers.
ihe general public seems to have be
lieved that the appropriations recom
mended in the budget would be granted,
but numerous people of hopeful tempera
ment are trying to get a great deal more.
A great grist of bills asking for new br 1
!«*«■ appropriations has been poured into
the legislative hopper. The legislature
has not yet fully disclosed its intentions \
but there are signs indicating that the '
budget is not going into the waste basket
as a scrap of paper. Several of our lead- :
mg newspapers have published strong
editorials against lavish or unnecessary
expenditures. This is beginning to rouse
our people and the legislators are hearing
from the folks bark home who are telling
them plainly that our State business must,
be oone more economically and better
than heretofore.
A hearing, which was held last week in
comm ttee on the. resolve to appropriate
•SlOO.OOOfor the establishing of a State Park
at Mt. Katahdin, seemed to make certain
that the committee would report “Ought
not to pass.” Among the acts recently
introduced and which will later on require
the spending of much money, is an act
providing for State main! enance of bridges
over 600 feet long. Another is a resolve
appropriating $5,000 to enable the Kenne
bec River Bridge Co. to make a survey
preliminary to the building of a bridge
across the Kennebec river at Bath.
The statement of facts says that the
building of the bridge requires the assist
ance of the federal government as the
bridge is an important part of a United
States military road. Preliminary survey
is required before the Federal government
will take any action whatever. In 1920
there were ferried by the Maine Central
at Bath, 33,000 cars and 170,000 passen
gers and much valuable time was lost in
delay caused by breaking up of trains and
by ice in winter. During the same time
60,000 passengers were carried on the
People’s ferry and otherwise. Other pas
senger automobiles that could not con
veniently reach their destination by
crossing the Kennebec at Bath were
obliged to cross the river at Gardiner, de
touring about 60 miles or wait an un
reasonable length of time to cross on the
People’s feny.
Tli3 Senate chamber was packed to the
doors at a public hearing on the, so-call
ed, Sunday Law bill. This proposed law
would permit, on Sunday, musical con
certs, amateur base ball games and other
field sports, not.involving pecuniary prof
its. The opponents to the bill were at
the hearing in force and remonstrances
againt its passage are referred to the
committee almost daily.
There will probably be a majority and
minority report on this bill and full dis
cussion by the House and Senate.
On Monday of this week two reports
came from the judiciary committee of
the legislature on the act to provide for
idle appointment of the clerks of court by
the justices of the supreme judicial court.
Report A “ought to pass” was signed oy
Senator Farrington of Kennebec and
Reps. Maher of Augusta, Cole of Eliot,
Hinckley of South Portland and Gardiner
of Gardiner. Report B “ought not to
pass” was signed by Senators Glllin of
Penobscot and Parent of Androscoggin
and Reps. Wing of Auburn, Buzzell of
Belfast and Murchie cf Calais.
The committee on judiciary reported
ought not to pass on the Barwise bill, so
called, which would provide for a more
liberal Sabbath.
Atwood A. Giimore died Wednesday
morning at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. John Hill, aged 8S years. The fu
neral will be held Friday at 2 p. m., with
Rev. William Vaughan officiating.
The Public Health Cause
Four afternoons of the past week were
publicly observed by the local board with |
the primary object of raising funds to
support the public health nurse, Miss
Sadie M. Nickerson, and also to more
extensively advertise the good work she
*s doing and the necessity for it Miss
Nickerson's popularity and efficiency is
increasing with every call she answers
and the good results of her work in the
past are also becoming ipore apparent. j
The three afternoons, mursday, Friday j
and Saturday, in Memorial hall, under
the direction of the committee with Mrs.
Essie Pierce Carle presiding, were not
only profitable, but socially successful.
All ages were present with all in a very
receptive mood to take and retain the
thoughts presented by the speakers.
Thursday the attendance was unusually
large and the address by Mrs. Ruth M.
Thompson of Portland, Field Secretary
of the Y. W. C. A , was given the closest
attention as she told what her depart
ment was doing in conjunction with the
Public Health movement. She gave
special stress on the style of shoes wom
en and girls should wear if they cared to
observe one of the first natural laws of
health. One young High school girl, Miss
Ruth Dinsmore, completely unconscious
of conditions, fully met the approval of
all requirements mentioned. The ladies
of the Unitarian Alliance and of the Bap
tist Sewing Circle, with Miss Charlotte
W. Colburn and Mrs. William Holt in
charge, sold home-made cooking, while
Mrs. Irving T. Dinsmore and Mrs.
Allen M. Howes, assisted by Misses
Helen Wescott, Katherine Brown, Char
lotte Knowlton and Ruth Dinsmore, served
tea from small tables, adding to the pleas
ure of many. The hostesses were Mrs.
George A. Quimby, Mrs. Ben Hazeltine,
Mrs. C. W. Wescott and Mrs. Charles S.
Bickford. Scout Master George H.
Robertson and several of his scouts, Har
old Kelley, David Hoxie, Ralph Taylor,
Marion Rhoades, Russell Peavey, gave
demonstrations of first aid work, a
pleasing revelation to many in the audi
ence.
F riday was children’s day and the ad
dress by Miss Edith M. Soule, R. N., of
the State department at Augusta, while
principally of interest to mothers and
those in care of children, was very enter
taining to all. Under the direction of
Mrs. Thompson, assisted by the teachers,
the pupils of the Peirce school gave a
play and dance to illustrate food proper
ties in a well balanced meal contrasted
with one more to the taste of the victim,
which was impersonated by Horace Wes
cott. This, with the dance program pre
sented by Mrs. Sumner C. Pattee and
Mrs Arthur E. Wilson, was received with
rounds of applause. Elana B. Shute did
a nature dance “Butterflies,” in costume*
Helen F’oster, “Mignon,” an aesthetic
dance in costume; Eugene Hammons sang
a solo,“I’m a Lonesome Little Raindrop.”
with a chorus of little girls with umbrel
las, Elena Shute, Helen Foster, Alice
Banks, Doris Collins, Emily Rackliffe;
Swedish Folk dance by a large number of
Mrs. Pattee’s pupils. The Travellers’
Club were hostesses for the aftermon
and served tea, cake and wafers. Mrs.
Charles S. Bickford and Miss Grace II.
Hail, assisted by Misses Louise R. Clem
ent, Mabel A. Craig, Margaret Rogers
and Elizabeth Kittredge, served. The
hostesses were Mrs. John R. Dunton,
Mrs. Charles M. Craig, Miss Charlotte
W. Colburn and Mrs. E. A. Sherman.
Saturday afternoon the North Church
Guild served tea, cake and wafers and
the Methodist Ladies’ Aid, under the
direction of Mrs. Alice C. Bramhall, sold
home-made food. Mrs. Morris L. Slugg
and Miss Grace H. Hall poured while
Misses Mabel A. Craig, Katherine and
Elizabeth Kittredge and Katherine
Brown served. Mrs. Fred W aldo Brown,
Mrs. C. B. Holmes, Mrs. Raymond R.
Sherman and Miss Anne M. Kittredge
were hostesses. The address on public
health work, particularly in the preven
tion of the spread of diseases, was given
by Mrs. Thompson. She has been for
several years in public work and is both
helpful and efficient.
ine program closed with a public meet
ing in the Colonial Theatre at 4 p. m.
Sunday with Mayor C. W. Wescott pre
siding. In his brief introductory re
marks, at the request of the local com
mittee, he thanked all who had assisted
in making the first public health drive
the unqualified success it had proved not
only financially but socially. The first
speaker was Miss Myra V. Parker, R. N.,
assistant State irector for this district.
Her subject was “Venereal Diseases” and
her address was the first of the kind ever
given before a Belfast audience. While
delicate in the extreme it was handled in
a manner that need not give offence to
the most fastidious or prudish. Her
knowledge is the result of private work,
augmented by the broader experience
through which she is now passing. The
following summary gives a fair idea of
the thoughts she imparted. There is
probably no greater menace to the health
and efficiency of the American people to
day than the venereal diseases. Tens of
thousands of women are in a state of
semi-invalidism because of gonorrhea
contracted from husbands who thought
themselves cured before marriage. Large
numbers of babies are hopelessly blind
from this disease. Uncounted numbers
of women will never bear children be
cause gonorrhea has made either the
husband or wife sterile. Syphilis is
causing insanity, paralysis, locomotor
ataxia, and degenerative changes of the
vital organs. No disease known to medi
cal science has such a harmful effect on
the offspring. Gonorrhea and syphilis
together, it is estimated, are costing the
people of the United States approximate -
ly (500,000,000 annually. Introduced into
the marriage relation, these two diseases
strike at the very foundation of the pres
ent social order. They impose a burden
of physical and mental suffering upon hu
manity which has now become intolerable.
The necessary laws have been enacted in
both Federal and State governments. The
only essential lacking is the will of the j
people. Just as soon as the people of the i
United States definitely decide to elimi- |
nate the venereal diseases, these diseases
will go. People should inform themselves
about venereal diseases. Find out all
they can about venereal diseases. Ac
quaint themselves with the Comprehen
sive plan to fight them, with the legal,
medical, educational and recreational
measures to be taken. Then they can
see how as a business man, a public
spirited woman, mechanic, doctor, law
yer, minister, day laborer, or educator,
you can help most effectively. Get the
probleip of venereal disease definitely be
fore the citizens of the community. Teach
your own boys and girls the facts of sex.
You can do this through quiet talks, books
or pamphlets. “Ignorance breeds dis- |
ease,” venereal diseases included. Your i
children are only human; do not let them ■
go wrong through your negligence. Help
the new generation start right.
Miss rarker was in Belfast about two
years ago and secured facts and figures
from officers and physicians in regard to
venereal cases in the city so was not a
stranger. Dr. J. W. Laughlin of Damar
iscotta, State Director of this district,
spoke on contagious diseases and gave
advice in regard to prevention, which he
said was better than a cure. Special
stress was placed on locating what is
known in his work as carriers of dipthe
ria, scarlet fever, etc.
Pictures of State, Normal and Indus
trial schools, also several of the State
Centennial were shown at the close of
the program. A silver collection was
taken by several High school girls.
The proceeds for the four days are as
follows:
Ihursday, food sale under the auspices
of the Unitarian and Baptist Churches;
tea and wafers served by the Unitarian
Alliance. Food, $45.19, tea, $6.03. The
Baptists received in money $8, of which
$5 came Irom a friend; and the Unitar
ians received in money $27, of which
Mrs. J. W. Blaisdell gave $10; Mrs. E.
M. Glidden, $5, and a friend $5, making
the total for the day $86 22.
On Friday tea and fancy cakes were
served by the Travellers Club and
brought in $13 05.
On Saturday the food sale under the
auspices of the Methodist Church and
the Guild of the Congregational Church
brought in $50 70; and tea and cake
served by the latter organization netted
$8 27, which with a gift of $5 from Mrs.
C. P. Hazeltine, made $63.97 for the day.
The silver collection at the Colojiial
Theatre on Sunday afternoon was $28.3o
making the total for the week $191.00.
The collections, including R. C. mem
bership dues, previous to last Thursday
amounted to $932 75, which with the
proceeds of last week, makes in all
$1124.35 raised for our Public Health
work.
