An old man 81 years of age, lies dead at Teague’s undertaking rooms, while the authorities are making an effort to discover his identity and to locate, if possible, his friends or family. His name, so far as is known, is either Havel B. Brawn or A. B. Brawn. He was brought to the Sisters’ hospital from the Lewiston city farm four days ago. After his death a postal card was found upon his person addressed to Flavel B., and signed, in pencil, but with the signature so badly worn that it cannot he deciphered. The postmark on the card is Grafton, Me., and the signature looks like “Mabel D. Finley.” It is signed: “Your loving niece.” Authorities wanted a reply as quickly as possible from the friends of the dead man, because it would be necessary to make some disposition of the remains before long.

The Edward Little High School chapter of the National Honor Society planted ivy along the north wall of the new school which faces the traffic circle and which carried the school name, Friday, as the start of a project which the current members hope will be a continuing process of beautifying the school grounds. Some 100 students, members of the society, participated in the ceremony at which Susan Paradis, the president, was speaker. She remarked that the ivy would be a future reminder to ELHS alumni of what the school and the society stands for.

Army National Guardsmen Monday began building a 30-foot high observation tower atop Johnson Hill at Camp Agassiz Village in Poland. From an elevation of 810 feet above sea level, the peak of the 16-foot square structure will be a new point from which to view surrounding forests, Thompson and Tripp Lakes and Rattlesnake Pond. Lumber was flown in by helicopter to a field near the Agassiz entrance two miles to the north, then trucked over the road the guardsmen reconstructed.
