Inasmuch as the World Series will be played at Music Hall, Lewiston, by the electric score board, beginning tomorrow afternoon, the management wished it known that this extra big feature will in no way interfere with the regular vaudeville and picture program. The electrical scoreboard is so well known among local fans that a description of its workings in unnecessary, suffice to say it records each and every play, the moment it is made. The difference between time, New York and Lewiston, by special wire is exactly one minute, so you will readily see that you are getting the play just as soon as it is made.

It was cold last night, and the Boy Scouts will swear to it. Spending their first night of the annual Camporee at Camp Gustin, Sabattus, were about 600 area scouts who pulled their blankets up a little further and crawled a little deeper into their sleeping bags in a battle with Old Man Frost. The first chore for today was the inherent household duties that always become more apparent when Mom isn’t around. With troops making their campsites in what certainly resembled a Marine field maneuver, everyone made ready for inspection after they participated in various pioneering projects and were put through their paces on a realistic obstacle course. In the afternoon, a physical fitness program, under the direction of Eagle Scouts and Scoutmasters was on the agenda.

The office where Lewiston-Auburn area residents get driver’s licenses and license plates will move from Maine Street to Canal Street, Lewiston, next week. “It’s primarily for the ease of customer access,” said John Wentworth, director of administrative services for the state Department of Motor Vehicles. “The parking is atrocious” at the Main and Chapel streets location that has held the office for 18 months, he added. Wentworth said the new office at 124 Canal St. will open next Tuesday. Driver’s license road tests will continue at the Main Street office until Oct. 14.
