Tourists Pleased
With Camp Sites
In Maine Woods

The tourists camp sites which
have been established by the State
Forestry department at Caratunk
and The Forks. are being appreciat-
ed by visitors to Maine. according
to the report of Commissioner Neil
l.. Violette of the State forestry de-
partment, who has just returned
from an auto trip to that section.
Commissioner Violette reported
that at the Caratunk camp site 90
people were enjoying life in the
open. They had built big fire on
the cleared land and were singing
in groups around the fire. There
were six campers at the camp
grounds at The Forks. Tents were
pitched on both camp grounds.
This plan for keeping the campers
out of the woods during the dry
season. bids fair to be prominent
factor in protecting the Maine
woods from the ravages of fire.
