A cheery fire blazed inside but enormous granite fireplace. It made you want to stay near by, as the snow was similiar to that in nSkier's Heaven,' we started up the trail, rapidly at first, but slowing down as we went on. Up and up -- the trees on each side towering high above us, and the trail winding way beyond. We became warm. Colorful jackets and shirts were laid aside. By the time we reached the top, every- one was in his shirtsleevcs. On looking down one could.see a patt- ern of herringbone tracks -- it looked like embroidery. Penobscot Bay stretched forth on one side while on the other side we could see lakes, rolling hills, and what we thought to be the White Moun- taips. After admiring the view, we clamped on our skies and put on our jackets for a swift but cold trip down on snow which was un- breakable crust with powder snow. As I zoomed over a knoll I glance around and saw other skiers struggling on the way up. They gave more color to the landscape. An occasional rustic sign indicated different trails. One followed a pretty little brook all the way down to the lodge. I stopped on my trip down to drink frmn the stream. Being hungry, I skied all the way down to the lodge to eat. Food tastes expecially good when eaten before a roaring fire. The interior of the lodge is rough with benches and a table of logs around which everyone sat. After dinner vo talked over slci techniques, clothes, and other interesting things. In the af- ternoon we made several trips up and down besides practicing on the leave the beautiful place be main road. The sun cast shadows and little slope.

SEA BREEZE 4 Everywhere there are people willing to tell false things and people willing to sbread and believe them. Some really do not mean to be harmful, but their love to be the center of attraction leeds them on. Others are really enemy agents who are working against us. Army and Navy officials do not tell their mon where they are going anymore, until it is time to depart, because they think that this will reduce the danger of Sabotage, Even so, news will come out end enemy ears will listen, It would be a good idea if we all took it upon ourselves to cut down rumors and careless talk. Don't listen to idle gossip, and don't repeat anything which might aid the Axis.
