Camps Valuable Asset

Governor Baxter has taken an in

ditions in the summer camps in the
State were satisfactory for he real
ICES what a valuable asset these
camps are to the communities in the
State whore they are located.
The summer camp industry is one
that has been developed during the
past few years and people outside
the state appreciate the work which
is being done to make these camps
safe for the boys and girls who visit
them
Governor Baxter has received a
letter from DR.. John J. Mutt Surgeon
in-Chef of the New York State Hos
pita fer the Care of Crippled and
Deformed Children which will inter
est the citizens in general. The let
ter is as follows:
Being more or less familiar with
Maine camps, was pleased this
summer to find that your Commits
sioncr Of Health, DR.. c. F. Kendall
and Mr.. Walter J. Brennan of the
Division of Sanitary Engineering,
were inspecting the camps. At least
know they inspected thdcamp where
| met them and understood from
them that it is the intention of the
State to do this work thoroughly.
"As a physician and camper. | wish
to congratulate the State of Maine
on this course which will protect it's
own citizens and summer visitors.
''It reflects great credit TO you, Sir,
and to the Department of Health, and
if properly advertised by the rail
roads and camps will undoubtedly,
be beneficial to the prosperity of the
State"

Wood Chopping Contest
lBy Roland 7. Pattenl

My youth was passed in one Of
Names smaller communities. All of
its activities were so closely related
to farm and woods life that agriCul-
ture and numbering were popular
topics of conversation. Notoriety was
achieved by those who were proficient
in wood cutting or could display prov"
ess in pitching hay on or off the
load Many stories were told, some
of which were substantiated by ac-
tual performance and others which
hung about the hay horizon OF ro-
nance. In one | am about to relate
fact and fiction are intermingled. |
shall leave to the reader the pleasure
of determining the proportion as best
he can.
My grandfather, Roland Taylor, for
whom ] was named, had magnificent
wood lot out on the Moosehead Lake
road a few miles from town. About
half of it was to the east of this high
way, and half to the west. Mr.. Tay-
lor cherished the good old fashioned
notion that work was good for boys.
He encouraged me to indulge in physi-
cal labor by every reasonable means.
| had chum named George. We
Mad plavod together from the mud
pie stage very constantly up to the
time of which | write; had been
through all sorts of adventures, hunt
ing, fishing, swimming and skating,
including one or two incidents OF
breaking through the ice while skat-
ing together on Lake Hebron nearby.
Through all of them we had been the
best of pals. Any quarrclling we mad
done was for brief periods only. Now,
al the age of Is, We were entering
upon a real tragedy..-we had both de-
vcloped an affection for the same girl.
A rather unusual thing about 1t was
that this young woman was something
like two years our senior. She not
only had the advantage over US OF
two years in time, but as ! recall II
was much more than that advanced
in common sense She accepted our
attentions and riYalricS quite in the

SO far as George and were concern
cd. she finally told us that the first
one who would earn and save or non
estly acquire property to the extent OF
$1,000 would be admitted to the first
and exclusive place in her regard.
tbinl, up TO that time in my career
had never earned over 25c in any one
day, nor had ever had a week in
which my income in wages or other
wise in real money had ever been as

FRIDAY GAME WAS

Whatley Knocked Out in
Fifth After Being
Bombarded

Pounding two pitchers for total
of twenty hits which Melted fifteen
runs the Pals won the second game
of the series from Gainesville by a
IS to 1 score. The visitors never
should have scored but for little
barn storming by the Pals in the
ninth. Anyway, it was good bat
ting practice for the Pals in prepara-
ton for the big doings here next week
Barstow pitched splendid game
for the locals, allowing six hits, one
of which was a palpable foul hit by
Buie in the sixth down the first base
line and we'll outside the bag. UNI
pire Ryan called it fair ball. Three
of the hits secured by the collegians
came in the ninth, when their only
run was scored CLANCY, with one
down, singled to center and Fry took
the ball on the bounce instead OF
suearing it. Roberts hit between
third and short and it was too deep
for Callahan to throw him out. Chan
cy stole and scored on Villarino's
short single to right, which also look
ed like an easy out.
Hitting was the main attraction
for the fans and many became hope
full when it was evident that the boys
were back in their stride, Thomas,
Kowalski, Callahan, Quinn, Lar2o
and Gonzalez all hit 800 or better,
and Barstow tossed in single and
a double for his part. Pete and

low.
