Diversion from the present route, it was feared, would greatly curtail business in the town.

BRITAIN SERVES THE CAUSE OF PEAGE There is in the news the reflection of a growing confidence that the world war that has been predicted and feared is after all not to happen. Justification for this confidence is based on. Something more -substantial than wishes. The belligerency < exhibited by European dictators -during the past few years h-as noticeably abated in recent, months. Il-itier and Mussolini are much less- defiant in their current utterances than they have been at any time -since their rise to power. For this- there are. reasons.

At present only three teams have been entered, Orono, Forestry and Kirby. Efforts are being made to have Lockhart's, back in the league. Failing this a fourth team may not be available this year.
