Calais people who read in the papers
about smart old men and women,
smart old twins, and 50 on, have to
smile. as they are aware that right in
Calais is a man "a years old who steps
out each morning with his ship car
penters tools to work in the dry dock
when there is a vessel to repair This
man is David Redman of Center street,
Calais. His step is as elastic as that
of most men at forty years of age, and
it seems as though his constitution
was as tough as some of the timbers
among which he has worked SO long.
Last winter Mr.. Redman used to take
his axe and go down to the hard wood
district back Of bog Brook and cut
out his quota of yellow birch and it
is said that some of the younger men
who were working at the same place
had to step lively to keep up with the
old gentleman. 1t Is also a certified
fact that within one year Mr.. Redman
has been seen to throw hand spring,
an act almost without precedent in a
man of "a years.
