The third sister in the play, the only married sister, is Ceil. Janet Pollitt is the stern, self-controlled Ceil. However, once Ceil is forced to confront and be confronted by her sisters, her self-assurrance crumbles and we find a vulnerable vulnerable woman. In real life, Janet is the mother of three youngsters and lives near Orono. For eight years Janet has been part of the club, serving in many capacities. As the title suggests, one of the Reardon sisters is suspected suspected of drinking. Each woman would seem to be a possible candidate.

WESLEYVILLE The last general meeting of Welcome U.C.W. for 1983 was held at the church on Tuesday evening, November 8 th. Attendance was small for several members were away from home and others had obligations elsewhere. The business was conducted by the president Mrs. Jean Payne and consisted of discussion and voting concerning the recommendations made at an executive meeting. Dispersal of money at the year's end was arranged and different recipients recipients determined. One of the recommendations adopted concerned the support of a child somewhere in the needy world. This has been done since 1945 and it was the wish of all that it be continued. The plan will be different from last year's but will be done through the channels of the church and the assistance will go to more than one individual. individual. That same day, members of the Morrish Institute were in Orono in the afternoon for Achievenient Day. They had been studying foods and there was a display of many different different garnishes. Among those attending were Bernieee Best, Mi's. Marion Bamscy and Mrs. Hope Holdaway. Church service at Welcome United on Sunday November 13 was conducted by Rev. Gordon Rutherford, assisted at the beginning by Tom Wilson. Rev. Rutherford continued continued his series on the stories of the Bible, using the second part of the story of Moses. Throughout their journey in the desert the Israelites continually continually were backsliding when the going got tough, clearly showing that strong faith requires daily renewal. His sermon included a review of the ten commandments and their relation to today's world. They require not only obedience to the command, but to its spirit as well. In the teaching of Jesus, he said not only the man who killed another another was a murderer but also he who willed it in his heart. Mr. Rutherford became' an artist to illustrate his story for the children. He drew a picture picture of a boat in trouble in a storm and showed how an anchor could be used to help, just as Christ is an anchor in our lives. The senior choir's anthem was "I would he true, for there are those who trust me." A lovely bouquet of chrysanthemums chrysanthemums brightened the church, and the offering was received by Allin Osborne and David Kellogg.

Corn is harvested in most fields and ploughing in many, so the sprinkling of corn left during the picking and threshing threshing is buried. There must be lots of other feed for the birds in the open fields but they seem to relish that at the feeders better and keep them emptied. Perhaps there is not as much work required to get it.
