Christmas Cheer and Celebration
in the Churches,
Public Institution* and Private Home*.
The real spirit of Christmas cheer was
most apparent this season. Shopping be
gan several weeks earlier than usual and
the trade locally was better than the
average, several reporting their record
sales. Santa Claus appeared in person on
the street as early as Friday looking after
good little boys and girls and found them
very much in the majority.
Unusual Gifts
Giving was more general and on a
larger scale with two men eclipsing all of
their former good deeds Mr. Charles
Bradbury, himself on the sick list, gave
to the Farmers’ Union a very long list of
people to be supplied with chicken and
everything for a liberal dinner and then
said: ‘‘Find all you can in need of a din.
ner and supply them liberally.” This
worth while order was complied with.
Mr. O. E. Frost, proprietor of Mathews’
Mill, said he had the happiest Christmas
in his life and here is one of the reasons
[or it. Saturday each of his 73 employes
were given a $20 gold coin encased in a
dainty envelope bearing Christmas greet
ings, while on a printed sheet also en
closed in an appropriate envelope was the
following:
1922
“To be glad of life because it gives
you the chance to live and to work a d
to play. To be contented with your pos
sessions, but not satisfied with yourself
until you have made the most of them;
to despise nothing in the world except
falsehood and meanness, and to fear
nothing but cowardice; to be governed by
your admirations rather than bv your dis
gusts; to covert nothing that is your
neighbors except his kindness of heart
and gentleness of manners; to think sel
dom of your enemies, often of your
friends; and to spend as much time as
you can, with body and spirit, in God’s
out of doors—these are little guide posts
on the footpath to peace.—Van Dyke.
Wishing you
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year.
O. E. FROST.
Both of these men gave most liberally
on Thanksgiving day. Very many of
Mr. Bradbury’s personal friends have
reason to thank him for kindly remem
brances.
The Baptist church was the headquar
ters for Santa Claus ou Mouday evening
for there were two large Christmas trees
loaded with things children enjoy and
about 500 of them were present, some
seeing real Christmas cheer for the first
time in their lives, as the majority of
(them are not connected with any Sunday
school. Principal Harry A. Foster was
chairman of the most efficient commit
tee, including Kev. George C. Sauer,,who
worked early and late to find children
and also to secure gifts for them. Among
the well Known characters present to en
tertain were Miss Christmas, Ruth Fos
ter and Jack Frost, Phil Robbins. There
were two Christmas dialogues with Mar
gart Hanson, Justin Gray, Marian Ken
ney, Emily, Howard, Evelyn Toothaker
and Caroline Dolloff taking part, with
recitations by ,Sheila Upton, Margaret
Hayes and John Dolloff. During the duet,
Silent Night, by Rev. H. H. Upton and
Miss Bertha Hayes, Miss Edna Mathews
presented SaMa with a lunch. Then
came a short Christmas pageant with
Miss Helen Foster as the Spirit of Christ
mas, teaching the influence of giving the
best instead of the least at this season of
good will on earth. The pageant was in
five parts with the following characters:
The Wise Men, Carlelon Robbins, Geo.
Russell and Harry Foster; children mak
ing wreathes, Olive Michaels, Abbie Web
ber, Doris Collins; giving toys, Mildred
Talbot, Kermit Robinson, Ruth Wight;
packing missionary box, Flora aurgess,
Eleanor Talbot, Helen Morris; the mother
packing Christmas dinners, Alice Banks.
At the Home for Aged Women thanks
were returned to the First church (Feder
ated) and to Mrs. Robert F. Dunton for
lifts of fruit and confectionery.
At the Waldo County Hospital all were
too busy for special activities, but thanks
are extended their Ladies’ Aid fcr a de
licious dinner including turkey and also
to gifts from friends to the nurs ng force.
The children of the First church (Fed
erated) enjoyed iheir Christmas tree
Saturday afternoon in the North church
parlors, Santa Claus in the person of
Hon. John K. I'unton being present. He
talked to the children for a short time,
and then distributed gifts to all. Previ
ous to Santa Claus’ arrival, a program
was given by the children of the Sun lay
school, including recitations and songs.
At noon and also at 6.30 p. m Satur
day four trumpters, Win. M. Thayer,
Edwin L. Colcord, Leroy S. Green and
l onald Knowlton rendered Christmas
carols on the square at the junction of
Main and High streets. It is hoped this
may be a precedent as it was greatly en
joyed.
The weather Christmas was warm, but
the sun did not shine during the day. It
was most decidedly a white Christmas,
with good sleighing and autoing.
Following their established custom the
City National Bank presented each of
their employes with a ten dollar gold
piece.
Fifty little children, who had received
t ckets of Mrs. Cecil Clay were given a
fine dinner at Flood’s restaurant Christ
mas noon and they were a happy crowd.
The members of the Coot Club provided
the dinner, B. H. Mudgett gave the
candy and Everett Hamilton, the flow
ers. Later they were guests of Walter J.
Clifford at the Colonial and all went to
the Christmas tree at the Baptist church
in the evening.
The vesper services at the First ehurch
(Federated) Sunday were most impres
sive. There was a very large attendance
including members of all the other
churches. Especially line and appropri
ate music was rendered with Miss Helen
D. Wescott as soloist. Several trumpets
also added to the Christmas spirit. The
decorations in evergreens, Jerusalem
cherries, American holly and many
wreathes were most attractively ar
ranged by Mrs. J. W. Blaisdell and Mrs.
E. P. Brown. A brief address was made
by the pastor, Rev. W. F. Skerrye, com
pleting a service to be remembered by
all. _
The matinee in Memorial hall Christ
mas afternoon under the direction of Mrs.
Sumner C. Pattee was largely attended
especially by the young people. Music
was furnished by Mrs. M. O. Dickey as
sisted by Mrs. Pattee, Miss Gretchen
Fletcher, Miss K atriua Kelley and others.
It was a very enjoyable atfair.
Mrs. Pattee’s Christmas ball in the
Armory Tuesday evening was a social
and financial success. The floor was
crowded and the balconies well fill d
I with spectators. The program announced
! in our last issue was lully carried out and
| received with applause. The solo num
I bers by little Miss Naomi Dean of Cam
den and Miss Frances Young of Chicago,
Mrs. Pattee’s house guest, were repeated
ly encored and showed artistic merit.
Stephen S. L. Shute was floor director
and excellent music was furnished by
Marston’s orchestra of Rockland. Mr.
and Mrs. Roscoe Arey catered.
Miss Louise R. Clement entertained Fri
day night at her home on John street
when covers were laid for 16 at a long
table centered with a miniature Christina*
tree. The color scheme was red and
green. The tree was gaily decorated and
contained gifts connected with ribbons to
each plate, also “gentle hits’’ for the re
cipients. Miss Clement had her surprise
when she found at the end of her ribbons
a pair of cut glass candle sticks, the gift
of her guests. Following dinner all at
tended the basket ball game in the Arm
ory and later spent the remainder of the
pleasant evening at the Hazeltine Post
dance in Odd Fellows hall.
Mrs. Sumner C. Pattee entertained at
a dinner Friday evening at Mrs. Li'.zie
M. Black’s diniug room in honor of her
guest. Miss Frances Young of Chicago.
Covers were laid for nine and the deco
rations included a small tree, whi h cen
etred the table, while at each plate were

The family at the Girls Home were
very happy with the many gifts, distri
buted from the handsome trees by Mr.
Z. D. Hartshorn impersonating Santa
Claus. The Guild of the First church
(Federated) did everything possible to add
to their Christmas cheer. Each little
child was remembered with a carefully
dressed doll, some wearing sweaters, caps,
and dresses with pockets, while the older
ones had work boxes with abundant sup
plies. The Sewing Circle also sent each
a pretty apron. The Madisses club of
Brunswick and the Camp Fire Girls o^
North Anson contributed boxes of care
fully wrapped parcels, personal friends
also contributed gifts, local merchants
supplied confectionery, etc. Mrs. Ira M.
Cobe of New York,duplicated her Thanks
giving dinner order; Christmas checks ar •
rived from Mrs. Mary McLellan of Pitts

Dreamland Theatre
At last something new in western
stories. That’s the Dreamland’s welcome
announcement for Thursday when the
Goldwyn ptay, “His Back Against the
Wall,” with Virginia Valle and Shannon
Day is shown. This play is largely laughs,
but it has surprising action that holds one
tense at times.
Archibald Clavering Gunter’s book,
"Mr. Barnes of New York,” still holds the
record of modern novels for number of
copies sold. Imagine a photoplay of this
story produced by Goldwyn and starring
T >m Moore! “Mr. Barnes of New York”
is to be the Dreamland’s feature offering
for Fr day.
Jack Holt in a vivid story of stage life,
“The Grim Comedian,” written by Rita
Weisman, is Saturday’s feature. It tells
a story of behind the scenes, of a mother
dared the utmost to save her daughter.
Also on Saturday a side-splitting 2-reel
comedy.
Monday and Tuesday comes the play
that has broken house reco ds every
where, Stewart Edward White’s “The
Gray Dawn.” with Robert McKim and
Claire Adams. This slashing story of
San Francisco just before the Vigilante
took possea8ion will hold you spellbound.
And don’t forget our small prices of ad
j mission—5c, 10c, 17c—always the same.

‘‘The day marks the one hundred and
twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding
of the First Church in Belfast. Mr.
Joseph Williamson tells us, in the six
teenth chapter of his History of Belfast,
“The organization of the First Church
with seven members, including Mr. Price,
was completed, therefore, on the twenty
ninth day of December, seventeen hun
dred and ninety-six. Six additional
members were soon after received by pro
fession. The church continued to flour
ish; and on June sixteenth, se\enteen
hundred and ninety-seven, the rite of
baptism was first solemnized by the pas
tor, ‘ten children oi Mr. Nathaniel French
being offered up by their parent.’ It is a
day worthy of tender memories and some
searching of our hearts. The real richness
of our lives depends largely on the spirit
ual worth and wealth of those who have
gone before. However a family tree may
appear, it is a thing to be contemplated
with all respect. We who are the fort
unate heirs of faithful and high-minded
fore-bears should realize this truth. If
we possess gifts of character and grace,
it is largely because they were bequeathed
to us by a noble line. Let us, then, in
humility and reverence, gratefully ac
knowledge cur debt to the past and eagerly
seize the opportunity to pay it to the pre
sent.
Central Maine Power Co.
The sound industrial conditions in
Maine were never better exemplified than
by the remarkable growth of power out
put shown by Central Maine Power Com
pany through 1922.
While the year still lias a few days to
run, it is possible to estimate that the
growth of generated power in 1922 com
pared with 1921 was at least 17.000 000
kilowatt hours.
cm Tuesday, December 19,the comDany
produced the g'eatest daily output of its
history more than a half million kilowatt
hours. This is over 22 per cent more elec
tric energy than was ever produced by the
Company in any one day prior to this
ye,The present season has furnished one
of the most severe tests of the past 12
years for Maine organizations that are
dependent on water power. central
Maine Power Company is fortunate in
that the smaller streams upon which it de
pends for some of its power, notably the
Sebasticook and the Messalonskee, are in
good condition at present, lhe two larger
rivers on which it has power, the Kenne
bec and the Androsocggin, thanks to their
very considerable storage, are in fairly
good condition—considerably better than
such rivers as the Saco._

The Bradbury Memorial Hospital
Opened
With an Appropriate Program and a Large
Crowd Attending
This handsome new building with its
most moder 1 and up to date appliances
and furnishings was opened Christmas
day with hundreds and hundreds of peo
ple in attendance from 10 a m. to 10 p.
m., all expressing delight and a pleased
appreciation.
The Journal can give its readers no
news in this connection as it has con
scientiously placed before the public al
most weekly paragraphs since it first an
nounced th it Dr. Eugene D. Tapleybid
accepted in trust the gift from Mrs. Enna
Cottrell Bradbury of the homest ad of
the late Jacob Y. Cottrell and family on
High street at the head of Commercial
street, as the nucleus of the hospital
that had long been his fondest ambition.
This hospital, one of the best in New
England, is in reality a concrete expres
sion of the confidence and friendship of
Dr. Tapley’s patients in Belfast and else
where.
Mr. J. W. Blaisdell was in New York
recently to consult the world famous
specialist, Dr. Henry H. Morton. After
examination he was told that it was not
advisable for him to return to Maine, but
on learning that the patient was to re
turn to Bel.ast, he said, “Go in the morn
ing. You have Dr. Eugene D. Tapley
there; there is none better We learn as
much from him in his annual visit here
as he does of us.”
The hom^ like appearance of tbe build
ing with its dainty curtained windows,
each with a Christmas wreath, Deautiful
plants, large bouquets of flowers, the
gift of friends, and a handsome basket of
chrysanthemums and ferns bearing the
greetings of the Hospital League, with
the message: May success attend you
in the future as it has in 'he past,” and
many other minor and necessary details
that add very materially to the conven
ience of all are due to this body of active
and devoted fr>ends.
During the hours of inspection delega
tions from the League and the nurses
displayed the entire building. Among
the privately furnishe l rooms are one to
the memory of Mr. Charles Bradbury’s
father, the late Judge James Bradbury of
Augusta aud another adjoining it to
Mrs. Bradbury’s mother. The two cot
children’s room, in memory of the little
daughter and son o£ Mr. and Mrs. Thos
E. Shea, is | ideal and a dream of child
hood. Mrs. Norman H. White has fur
nished the reception room, Mrs Arthui
W. Morse and H. E. McDonald twc
rooms ou the second floor. Others wil
soon be added to the list.
The evening’s program included a verj
informal reception with Dr. and Mrs
Tapley present. Several Christmas se
lections were sung by Mrs. Basil R. Al
: leu, Mrs. Melvin O. Dickey, Messrs.
John Parker and A. P. Goodhue. Prayei
! was offered hy Rev. Chas. W. Martin o
i the Methodist Church. Brief addresses
j voicing cooperation, appreciation ant
friendship were given by Rev. Willian
| Vaughan, Mayor C. W. Wescott ant
Rev. Wm. F. Skerrye. Hon Charles S
Hichboru of Augusta, a personal friem
of 'Mr. aud Mrs. Charles Bradbury
responded for them, voiced his owi
appreciation of the building, etc., ant
followed with lines of oratory that tin
happy occasion and beautiful surround
ings inspired.
In a note to Dr. Foster C. Small Rev
George C. Sauer explained his absenci
and said in part;
Will you please convey to Mr and Mrs
Bradbury and Dr. and Mrs. Tapley tin
warm congratulations of our people, tha
at last their cherished hopes have leei
realized, and the thing for which the]
have sacrificed and planned and labored
stands completed before our eyes. An<
it is fitting that the doors ot this beauti
ful memorial should be thrown open or
Christmas Day, when the spirit of gooc
will, mer.y, and loving service is restinj
upon us all like a benediction. With gooc
wishes and earnest prayers for the widesl
service in the ministry of doing good tt
body, mind and spirit of many, as th<
years shall pass, we are,
Siucerely yours,
George C. Sauer,

COLONIAL THEATRE.
Pickford’s Next Picture A New Char
acterization.
Mary Pickford’s latest United Artists
production, “The Love Light,” which will
be seen at the Colonial Theatre Today
Tburs. Dec. 28, is an entirely different
story and an absolutely new characteriza
tion than anything in which the World’s
Sweetheart has heretofore appeared. ‘‘The
Love Light’ has unusual interest owing to
the fact that the idea was worked out
while Miss Pickford was on her honey
moon. She met Frances Marion in Italy,
also on her honeymoon, and the two
worked out the story sitting on a high
rock overlooking the Adriatic and it was
in Italy they secured many of the prop
erties and several of the players who sup
port Miss Pickford. The players and pro
perties were brought all the way from
southern Europe to California where the
Italian settings were minutely reproduced
from photographs taken by the two.
Robert Louis Stevenson’s well-known
story, “Ebb Tide,” had no love interest,
but there is plenty of that quality in the
screen adaptation by Paramount, a George
Melford product, which is to be presented
at the Colonial Theatre on Saturday Dec.
30. The picture ^adaptation is a thriller,
with its peculiar characters and strange
adventures. The story tells of a man|s
heroic fight for regeneration af er he ia
apparently down and out. With Mr.
Kirkwood smd Miss Lee are George Faw

3-4 Mary Carr, known as “the sweetest
mother in all the world,” has, in this new
pro uction, the role of a mother who
spares the rod and spoils the child—the
child in this case being a selfish aon who
browbeats a loving sister and a brother.
His arrogance leads the mother to sacrifice
the fruits of years o' labor in order to clear
his name from a stigma.
A Happy New Year
With another miler post in sight and another year
beckoning us with its hopes and opportunities for
Service, we stop a moment to reflect upon our
pleasant relations during the year that is about to
close and to take note of the good friends about us.
We appreciate the confidence reposed in us
and earnestly hope that we may in some measure
aid in making your new year one of Joy, Peace
and Contentment
