their over arching trees, the natural
beauty of your park, your churches
your homes refined by art, religion
and culture, the Kennebec flowing
through your midst, all these contri-
butte to make Skowhegan famous
among the towns of Maine. Some of
you may have searched for beauty the
world over and have found 1t at Ma
pies, Florence, Venice and Milan but,
tell me, did you find anywhere such
matchless green as you see here in
