W HA 'Y MA I NE M51-WS T0 ME I Although I have not lived very long in Maine, it has come t mean a great deal to me. I have traveled in many places and in many lands, but, to me, nothing can take the place of ine o To me it means home, a place to come back te, a place I lgve, I love the vastness of its great forests, the beauty of its desert, even though the hot sand piles and drifts suggest no sort of freshness or relief, the pines that spread for wide miles from the summit of the mountain'down to the plains and meadows, the coolness of its lakes inUthe summer, and the cold- ness of its winters, when the whole of nature seems to rest in its sleep, nodding under heavy snows, and the raggedness of its mountains as well as the unevenness of its jaggered coast. If one should decide to transplant a little pine tree in his back yard in the deep rich soil, where the sun shines warmly, in no time the plant would push its roots deeper into the soil. Why? Because it loves the warm sun and the rich soil, and it wants to remain there. That is one way of.put- ting into words just what Maine means to me, I, too, like that little pine tree, have grown to be a part of her and have learned to love her, Maine may be but a splash of color on the map, but itfs a Paradise to someone who appreciates the wonders of the great works of the Creator. Our knowledge and comprehension o all these things is small compared to what this really means, If I were to put all that I have just said in one little phrase and still give the reader a good description, I would, no doubt, call it the NGarden of Eden.n Even then it would be impossible to understand fully the meaning of the beauty and loveliness that surrounds u'fe.er ere. No matter what any- one else may think, I thinkpitqisyxgnderful to be able to live in the state of Maine, f - HCV! Aff, Myra Halme 'se f whiff N'- Q AX ,,'Wef2 j I x5 5 i y .ww W fr URI T! W, 7 F'
