Editor The star. Paul Bunyan
was born In Maine. When weeks
old he RULED around 40 much In his
sleep that he destroyed four square
miles of standing timber. Then they
bunt floating cradle and anchored
II off Eastport.
When Pau, rocked In his cradle u
caused a 5s-foet tide In the Bay of
Fundy. and several villages were
washed away. II was soon seen that
II this kept up Nova Scotia would be
come an island. and fauis parents
were ordered 70 take him away. He
cosldn't be wakened. however. until
the British navy was called out and
fired broaest6es for seven hours
when Paul sten,,ed out OF his cradle
he sank seven warships. and ths
British government scired his cradle
and used the timbers to build seven
more.
That saved Nova Scotia from b.
Ing made an island. but the tides In
the Bay OF Fundy haven't subsidized
yet
All the cows In Maine were re-
auired TO give milk for Paul TO drink.
When ne was year old he became
playful and used 70 throw the cows
into tho Gulf OF 81 Lawrence. That's
why there arc no dairy herds In
Maine today. A. H. C
