Tire Price Reduction
Among tires SILVERTOWN is
the name that instantly conveys
the thought of the highest
known quality. Their genuine
value has given them first place
in the esteem of motorists.
Motor car manufacturers and
dealers are quick to emphasize
to their prospeCts that their cars
are equipped with Silvertowns—
knowing that neither explana
tion nor argument is necessary.
This makes all the more impor
tant the faCt that Silvertown
Cords are included in our re
adjustment of tire prices which
took effeCt May 2nd.

Whether or not the hot weather of the
early spring is the cause, for some reason
summer residents are coming to the
j Maine coast resorts earlier than usual
[ this season. Many summer homes in
! Searsport are already open and every
week brings homecomers who have so
: journed in the larger cities, or at South
ern resorts through the winter.

The rapid development of foliage dur
ing thi past few days gives the illusion
of a seasonal condition far in advance of
actual reality. Not infrequently have
local gardens been farther advanced at
this date in years less phenomenal. And
whatever stuff had the courage to show
itself in the unglassed rows last week
surely lay cold enoug’ o’ nights to cause
its owner concern.
S. B. Merrithew, collector, has receiv
ed his warrant and the tax list for the
year 1921, fully equipped with the latest
improved type of shock absorber. What
with the decrease in the total valuation
of the town and the unforseeable de
ficiency of last year, the notable liberal
ity of the voters at the annual meeting,
and the big increase in the county tax,
the tax rate for the year sets a new
record which induces visions of honored
old timers gasping for breath had they
faced such appalling conditions. And,
incidentally, the records of the courts at
Belfast show that those old timers were
called upon to face certain amazing con
ditions which are forever a part of local
history.
The untimely death of Mrs. Carrie M.
Brewer at the Waldo County Hospital
last Wednesday morning brought a shock
to her many friends who had failed to
realize that her condition was in any way
critical. The funeral service was held at
her late home on Main street Friday af
ternoon, Rev. N. F. Atwood of Searsport
officiating, and the remains were taken
to Belfast, where the aged parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Edward vf. Shackford, reside.
Beside the parents, she is survived by her
husband, Mr. A. Dawson Brewer, to
whom she has been married but little
more than a year or two, and a son by a
former marriage, Stanley Healey, a yeo
man in the navy, at present stationed at
Coco Solo, Canal Zone; also a brother,
Charles Shackford of Brookline, Mass.,
who with his wife were in town for the
services.
The celebration of the 20th anniversary
of Bethany Chapter, O. E. S., on Tues
day evening of last week was in every
way a notable occasion in the social af
fairs of this village. Mrs. Kose Blanch
ard, the chapter’s first matron, held the
post of honor with A. M. Ames as P. W.
P. Other positions were fillea by Mrs.
Alice May Hichborn, Mrs. Nettie Fayle,
Mrs. Lillian Thompson, Mrs. Marietta
Fletcher, Mrs. Eleanor B. Colcord, Mrs.
Sarah P. Twiss, Mrs. Edith F. Ginn, Mrs.
Nellie Kneeland, Mrs. Maria Howes and
Mrs. Mary Heath, in each instance but
one a past matron of the chapter. At
the banquet the half a hundred partici
pants sat at dainty tables of rare beauty.
The decorative scheme was conceived
and chiefly executed by Mrs. Ada Mud
gett and the results showed a rather
wonderfi 1 capacity for taking infinite
paiDS. The central feature was the five
pointed star done in May baskets of per
fect craftsmanship, graded to sizes and
appropriate in colors, carrying flowers of
similar hue. At the places of each offi
cer and individual were other baskets,
each a gem filled with nuts and candies.
At the social hour it was remarked that
11 charter members were present, and
that but five of the original members had
died, two being past matrons. Mrs. Liz
zie Libby presented the chapter with a
fine birthday cake bearing 20 candles, as
should be.
