MAINE WRITER'S
WINNING FAME

Maine strides in the literary world
are worthy of highest commenda-
ton, as pointed out Friday by State
Librarian Henry E. Dunnack, in
reviewing what Maine writer's have
done in the world of literature.
A young Maine man, Charles
Boardman Halves, author of sea
stories, who lived in Bangor and was
a graduate of Bowdoin college, has
been awarded the prize by the Amer
lean Library association for the best
juvenile story written in 1928 for his
THE Dark Frigate.'
Emphasis is laid upon the fact that
assembled in close order of years, are
four notable awards made to Maine
writer's. Edward Arlington Robin
son was awarded the Pulitzer prize
for the best book in 1922. He was
born at Head Tide and received a
part of his educa ton i'll Gardiner.
Edna st. Vincent Millay, born in
Rockland, was given the prize TO-:
the best book in 1923. The Pulitzer
prize was awarded owen Davis. for
the best play that was run success
fully in New York, "Icebound."
1t is big subject to treat so brief
ly. Mr.. Dunnack is a Maine enthusi-
asst. 100 percent, and has facts and
figures at his tongues end concern
ing Maine writer's.
