To christen the one year old son of Mr. and Mrs. B. Tsapactsaris of 30 Lincoln alley, Lewiston, Rev. Fr. Leondides of Haverhill came to this city. Local Greeks say that the priest will remain in the city and hold services in some hall until enough Greeks are in Lewiston to build him a church.

An attempted “rap” at the home of Misses Lizzie, Margaret and Helen Griffin, 214 Park street, was reported to the Lewiston police. The complaint was investigated by a bevy of officers but no arrests were made.

The Great Northern Paper Co. has hired a rainmaker. It hopes the result will be more water in the West Branch of the Penobscot River to help float its logs to the mills, and to boost hydroelectric production. Company officials said they have hired W. E. Howell Associates, Inc., on a four-months trial basis to seed the clouds with silver iodide and try to wet down 1,900 square miles of northern Maine woodlands. Natural rainfall in the West Branch watershed has been far below normal in the past 18 months. This has resulted, officials said, in curtailment of production at Great Northern Pulp mills in Millinocket and East Millinocket.

Entering the Lighthouse Restaurant at 16-18 Park St. in Lewiston, there is little to indicate that it is not your everyday restaurant. The walls are neutrally tinted – where they are not covered by mirror tiles that make the room look bigger than it is. There is a sunken section with a light-colored wood bar. The only visible indication of the philosophy behind the Lighthouse Restaurant is a large tapestry depicting the Last Supper on the wall near the entrance. For although the Lighthouse is a “Christian restaurant,” Daigle says its purpose will be devoted less to spreading the Word than to providing the public with good, reasonably priced food in a family atmosphere.
