picturesque. The forests pro- vide shelter for the abundant wild life. This gives the game an even chance against the hun- ters on the trails. The Bangor h Aroostook Rail- road carries the sportsmen to the great woods and other far places. Men who plan a trip find it easy to travel by rail. A business man who finishes his work in the evening can board a train, sleep all night, and in the morning be in the Maine woods. Artists and authorscn'worldf wide fame come to Maine for their summersg many, however, stay in Maine the whole yean During their stay here they are able to paint and write a about the great variety of scenes which Maine has. In summer, spring,vdnter or fall the Maine woods are always filled with traffie,coming from out of state to vacation in Maine. People come the whole year 'round forthe sports which are carried on all year. Winter doesn't stop Maine from having tourists. Its' mountains and slopes furnish excellent skiing, its' lakes furnish good skating and ice fishing. These, along with many other things, make Maine a wonderful vacationland all the year 'round. Ai CECEGDED CEUJUQEE EFCDU? AXCEUED S3UCIDMlAiCEUi Harold Mason '40 On the second Tuesday of last week the Capillary Actions and the Catalytic Enzymes on- gaged in one of the most dili- gently fought basketball games the rabid fans of Kezar Falls have witnessed this year. It was nip and tuck all the way, but the Capillary Actions took over the lead with 1X4 of a second left to play, and managed to hold it throughout the rest of the game. The main factor in the Capillary Actions' offense was the work of Bernard Bicarb- onate, who sizzled down the floor, time after t1me,a d with the help of Leroy Water, sank basket after basket. Carroll Cobalt played godd basketball for the losers. It was rumored that all Bill Bun- sen saw, when Cobalt went by him for a basket in the last quarter, was a blue streak. In the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Capillary Actions were behind, but they slowly began to creep up on the Enzymes until, with less than a minute left to play, the score was tied. It was then, that they wont ahead to win. Mr. Anderson, the coach of the Capillary Actions',mms sick with an acid stomach and did not think that he would be able to attend the game. When he heard over the radio that Ber- nard Bicarbonate was going so well, he got into his car and sped away to the gym. There,- after seeing Bicarbonate perform, he soon lost his acid stomach and enjoyed the game very much. This was they64th game they have won this year, and accord- ing to the looks of things,thcy should go far in the tourna- ments this fall. :gan-.-ze 5352 .1........-.. D, 'Liza

the lake, from atop another rocky summit, the ery was an- swered and for several minutes two bears called to each other. All the fellows were, of course, scared stiff as they expressed it afterwards, but they managed to quiet their fears and get a little more sleep during the night. You may be sure,howeven that when morning finally came they all felt much better. After a quick breakfast,they started for the top of the mountain, dressed lightly and carrying cameras and field glasses. Just as the suns rays began to penetrate the mist in the valleys, the boys reached the top. The view and the sur- roundings were awe inspiring. There was something about the stillness and beauty of the scene that made the boys stand quiet and reverent, gazing at the country-side which , their Creator had so beautifully laid Outs The morning passed quickly, in fact, too quickly. TheSoouts threw rocks down over the cliffs, took pictures and explored the mountainside. Before. they realized it, the time had come when they must break camp and start for homer Reluetantly, they finished their lunch, packed their equips ment and started for home by a shorter, easier route than the one by which they had come. When the tribe held itsnext UPow-Wown all the braves agreed unanimously that the raid was the most successful ever to be attempted by Pequawket warriors. Many Hscalpsn were brought back from the trip, including flower specimens, leaves,andsnapshots. Time leaves its mark on everything and everyone, and Indian raids are no exceptions. Which type of raid would you rather experience, - modern or old fashioned? VACATION IN MAINE The people of Maine have been asked, UDo you folks of Maine enjoy the mountains, lakes, woods and streams as much as the people who come from the cities to spend their vaca- tions?U The answer to this question is easily answered, Of course we do, we enjoy them, too.U The main advantage that Maine people have over those from out of state is their op- portunity to go frequently to the lakes and mountains. Many Maine people had rather spend their vacations in Maine thanin some other place. In proving further.the love of Maine people for the woods surrounding them, often some have to go out of the state for their occupation, but return as often as possible. They show strong desire to come back here to seek the peace and pleasure which they can find in the nab- ural environment 'round about Maine. All these things are the heritage of those who are born and raised here, close to nature, in a climate truly ideal, all the year 'round. Sportsman prefer Northern Maine as the lakes, streams,and woods lure them there. Maine affords an ideal spot for fav- orito pastimes with the rod and reel. The sportsmen find the streams and lakes well stocked with salmon, trout and bass. They have found the mountains worth climbing, to see the views from their tops. These are very

TOWN M.-'EE 'HN G Vesta Merrifield '42 Now let me see - is every- one ready to go? I've been up since four o'c1ock, trying to get my day's work done so I could go to Town Meeting. I hope that old Mrs. Dennison is there. I'd like to see what she wears on her only day to town. At last we are in the can I'd much rather go with the horse and buggy. I'm certainly going to vote for a new road commissioner. I never saw such terrible roads in my life! I wonder if Mrs. Jacksonvdll take her ten children? I hope not, because last year she sat be- side me and. that's why I couldn't get up and doubt that vote against the Town Farm. My goodness! hurry up! Look at the cars out in front of the Town Hall. I hope there's one seat left. Look at that old crab,Mr. Smith, out in front, blowing off his mouth. When he gets inside, he sits as meek as a mouse. One seat left and it's right beside Mrs. Dennison. I'll be able to see very'plainly what she's got on. Excuse me. Pardon me. I'm trying to getto that seat by Mrs. Dennison. Helle,Mrs. Dennison, how lovely you look today. CMight as well tell her that, ma be she will be more sociable.Y I guess I get here just in time. Say, who is that nice looking man up on the stage, with the hammer in think she was thirty-six instead of sixty-three. I'd like to wash some of that paint off her face once just to see what she looks like underneath-I second the motion.-What's everyone laughing for? Oh that was some- one shutting the window. Moder- ator banging for someone to soc- ond the motion. Look at those young ones of Mrs. Jackson loll- ing all over that lovely Miss Dean. You'd think their mother would brace them up. My good- ness, 1t's nearly time to ad- journ for lunch. I brought my lunch this time so I'd be sure to have some. Last year the coffee was terrible stuff. I think they forgot to put the coffee in. Have a sour pickle, Mrs. Dennison, I put them up myself. They kept pretty good. I feel like having a nap now. I usually take one after every dinners Hero comes that nice moderator. I think I'll ask him what time it is. What did you say? This afternoon I'll lose five pounds walkingaround putting my votes in, but I wouldn't miss it for ten pounds I'll follow you,Mrs. Dennison. Oh heavens! Ifva broken my garter and now I can't. . My stocking will fall right down. Now I can't vote. what did he say? Mr. True get Road Com- missioner? New isn't that lovely. His wife is one of the members of my club, now maybe she can pay her dues. I'm going to set right here until every- one goes because my stocking is down 'round my ankle.
