Plans for Visit of
Vice President and
Governors to Maine

The Executive Department Sat-
urday issued the following state
ment in connection with the ap-
preaching visit to Maine of Vice
President Coolidge and the Cover
no-s of New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island and
Connecticut:
Early in 1929 Governor Baxter
made plans to invite to Maine the
Governors of the other five New
England States and at that time per-
sonally communicated with their
Chief Executives. AS Maine is some
what off the beaten path of Cover
nors. Governor Baxter thought that
1T would afford the Chief Executives
OF the several states an opportunity
to become personally acquainted
with Maine, and also that it would
mean much to our State to have
these distinguished guests with us.
Owing however to the political cam
paigns in which all the Governors
were interested, the summer or W.
did not seem to be a favorable one
for the visit, and it was postponed.
Governor Baxter early in April.
1923, took up tie question again,
and wrote to the New England Gov
errors extending them an invitation
to come to Maine Immediately after
the Commencement season in June
was over. When in Washington
upon official business the Governor
called upon Vice President Coolidge
and personally invited him to head
the gubernatorial party. The Vice
President accepted. Through the
courtesy and well-known hospitality
of the Messrs. Kicker of Poland
Springs the Governors are to be en-
tertained there. and at their Hotel
Samoset in Rockland. In order to
show appreciation OF the splendid
public spirit of the Rickers Cover
nor. Baxter ssued the invitations
jointly in his name and that of the
Kicker family.
THE party is to be entirely in
formal and there will be no public
receptions in connection with it. The
Vice President and the Governors
with their ladies and secretaries will
arrive at Poland Saturday afternoon
June Both, remaining there over
Sunday and, weather permitting. on
Monday will drive across the State
to Rockland, via Augusta. At Au-
guSta the party will be entertained
at luncheon by Governor Baxter and
the night will be spent at the Rick
er's hotel, the Samoset, Rockland
The next day. Tuesday, the party
will return to Poland Springs, some
of them continuing on to their home
states.
1.-THE only stop that will be made
will be at Lewiston on the Bates
College campus, where the mayors
of the two cities. Lewiston and Au.
burn. will be presented to the party

ADJUSTMENTS
1000 Year-OId Whale Captured

One of the biggest and most SEN
sational thrills ever recorded by a
motion picture camera can be found
in Elmer Clifton's Down to the Sea
in Ships" the feature attraction at
the Colonial theatre. beginning this
afternoon at 2.15 and this evening
at IT'S.
This scene shows where Raymond
Mckee. who plays the leading male
role in this production, harpoons d
whale, and later the wounded and
angry monster of the deep turns
upon the small boat and catapults
the occupants into the water, smash
ing the boat to kindling.
When Mr. Clifton decided on paying
a last tribute to the now almost
forgotten whaling industry, by film
ing the actual happening of a whale.
he planned to photograph the real
stuff. AS result Mr.. Mckee was
forced to sign ships papers and en-
list upon a regular whaler.
This particular scene, it is said
shows the small boat being lowed
at express train speed through the
water by the angry whale. 1t then
shows the whale make a turn and
charge the boat. Critics and ex-
perts have said, wherever this pro-
duction has been shown, that this
thrill is one Of the biggest sensa-
tons ever seen upon the screen. 1t
plainly shows Raymond Mckee risk
ing life and limb in the taking of
these realistic scenes.
The management of the Colonial
theatre feels confident that the mo-
ton picture public will find this
scene truthful in every detail, and
recommends down to the Sea in
Ships" as one of the best and most
interesting photoplays Of the year

STATE HOUSE
Meeting Council 10 NJ Tuesday

Mayor Mclean of Augusta will be
invited to attend the luncheon at the
Blaine House as the party will then
be within 70 jurisdiction.
Governor Baxter has asked each
Governor to send him a State flag
SO that each State may be properly
represented at Poland, and he has
urged each Governor to fly his per-
sonal flag on his automobile while
in the State of Maine. 1t is custom
airy for Governor to fly his State
flag only within his own jurisdiction.
but in this case each Governor is to
be made to feel entirely at home
while within the State of Maine"
This visit of the Vice-President
and the FIVE governors is unique in
the history of Maine. At this time
it is most important that the New
England States should stand togeth-
er in National affairs in order to
protect their manufacturing and
agricultural interests. It is expected
that this meeting will do much to-
ward cementing the friendship be-
tween the New England States.
