 As New England is to be the auto mobile play ground this summer fo those who have been in the habit O. taking transatlantic trips. attention should be given to that tract o1 country remote from railroads between Wilmington and Putnam, 20 miles al least away. Most of the highways running east and west, once turnpikes, are now inter state roads and in good condition. Diverting from the Vest ford turnpike, near Westford village, some two or three miles over a good road, one comes upon what was former iy the Buck reservoir, beautiful lake covering some 35 acres, nearly sur rounded by dense woodland. Charles Amidon, the owner, is to fit up sum . mer camp there for his family and friends that is sure to make an enjoy able outing place. There is good boating and fishing, bathing beach, | all the outdoor attractions to be found at any of the much advertised resorts. A motor trip there Monday with Mrs. l Amidon astonished us anew that there could be so beautiful spot with so many possibilities, so easy of access. Wm. D. Ruby remembers when three OK cart loads of fish were taken from this lake at one time with seines, and were so anxious to be caught that they Topped into the boats. Some old wary ones are seen that promise re- ward to the patient fisherman or wom- an, who makes the lake an objective point for motor trip these coming summer days.
