There was something almost I'M
canny about Sir Walter SCOTS power
to attract and hold in friendship both
man and beast. Lockhart. in his
biography of the famous author Of

tie pig which had taken "a most
sentimental attachment to Scott and
was constantly urging its pretentions
to be admitted a regular member of
his trail along with the greyhounds
and terriers" One summer" writes
Lockhart, Sir Walter suffered the
same sort of pertinacity on the part
of an affectionate hen" And he goes
on to tell of couple of donkeys

STORY DENIED BY
AIR SERVICE CHIEF
Knows Nothing of Project of
Maine Landing Fields Re.
ported in Maine Newspapers
-Telegfam from U. S. Sena-
tor Fernald

The story that was published in the
journal after 1t had appeared in 9TH
er Maine newspapers to the effect
That Augusta is one of the five cities
in the State where landing fields for
airplanes and balloons will be estab-
lished and maintained, and that the
other four cities designated are Au-
burn, Portland, Bangor and Bath
seems to be without foundation.
The report first appeared in one of
the Maine afternoon papers. The
newspaper cited no authority for the
story, but simply stated that "ac-
cording to information received Au-
burn had been selected by the office
Of Civil Affairs Division, Air Service,
War Department, to have a conspi-
cuous part in the development of avn
alton for both military and CONNER
cial advantages. 1t pointed out in
substance that the five cities named
above had been designated as the
places in Maine where landing fields
for airplanes and balloons would be
established and maintained
The city editor of the kennebec
Journal made effort to have the sto-
ry confirmed before it was published
in the Journal. No information on
the matter could be obtained at the
Office of the Adjutant General, and as
no denial of the first report appeared,
the Journal published the story pend
ing investigation of the matter.
Now it appears that the story was
erroneous, the following telegram
from United States Senator Bert NJ.
Fernald having been received Thurs
day by the city editor of the Journal:
Washington. d. C., P. NJ. July IS,
1921.
Edwin c. Burleigh,
City Editor. Kennebec Journal, Au-
gusta, Maine.
'Chief of Air Service denies story
reported in Maine papers relative to
Maine landing fields. Knows nothing
of project and considers report unre
liable. Writing fully"
BERT NJ. FERNALD."
The letter from United States Sen
ator Fernald will undoubtedly give
light on the whole matter and should
prove of particular interest.
