COMMUNITY CONCERTS ENDEDJOR SEASON Mayor Champion Telia Assemblage of Hunting in the Maine Woods. List Sarurday night marked the ducting of the regular community eu ' tertainmanta held each Saturday eve-1 uiiig in the music pavilion during the' winter months. While not m varied mk some of the others held, tbe con-' < lulling function was very pleasing. Though the attendance has for the most part bean good. It Is fait by Ihuae in charge that there should have been , many more home folks out. Some , nights there would be almost as many 1 si rangers in tbe audience as resident*. • Like everything of this character. mo^$i of the work fell on a few to do and 1 they deserve a great deal of credit for < the time and tabor spent to make these 1 entertainments a success. Also credit 1 is due all that contributed tbelr ttma < and talent lo (he varioua programs • that went to make up these vary lnler-j est 1 tig and informal gatherings, and all ' who spent their Saturday evenings at t the music pavilion will bava seen or' heard something that they can tuck I in their memory and in the years lo 3 come will recall with pleasure tba ave* > nlngs spent at the music paviliou in •

the winter months of 1920-1921. No one present will ever forget the Rev. George W. Yard's Interpretation of David Harum's horse trade, given a Tew weeks ago. In fact, thera were so many things of merit in the various entertainments that It would ba Impos sible to tell which waa the beat. It is ho|»ed thai theae entertainments • an be made a permanent feature of 1 lie winter months. It is felt thai I hey will l»e more appreciated aa they become better known and wiR be an added attraction of winter life in Ocean Uty. and be a means for all to become belter acquainted socially. The program last Saturday evening was opened with community singing, led by Burrows C. Marshall In hla excellent manner. An aesthete dance by Miaa Marlon steelman was executed in a graceful manner.

He said It waa I

not Just the subject he would have choaen for thia address, but he would make the beat of It and hoped they would not be disappointed His description of bis first day In the woods was very amusing, as well as bis narrative of an adventure he once had when he became separated from hts guide and got lost. Hla picture of the bigness and wlldneas of the woods was well drawn and was very impressive. He recalled thai, from the top of one mount si 11 it was possible to aev twenty lakes at one time, and. when R la taken Into consideration that any body of water must cover over live miles to be termed a lake in tbe State of Malae. tbls must be some sight. All theae lakes are owned hy the State, and are all stocked with trout. Each hunter is allowed to kill two deer and ship them out of the State, a license fee of $20 la charged each hunter, and §0.000 deer are shipped out of Maine every season.
