Healthy Maine
Appeals Quickly
To Summer Folks

Many visitors to Maine this summer
are taking keen interest in the fav-
orable health statistics recently issued
through the Maine Public Health As
ISOLATION, according to information
which reached the association Offices
today.
One mother from New York who is
placing her young son for the first
time in a Maine summer camp for his
vacation was particularly interested
in the reports showing Names excel
lent showing as compared with the
balance Of the United States registra-
ton between the ages of two years
and 10 years. Il feel that Jacks
health Is as well and probably better
protected here In Maine than any
where else he could go for his vaca-
tion," she said after looking over the
surroundings of the camp. You see
it Is his first vacation in a camp Of
any sort and wanted to be sure that
everything was all right so far as the
protection of his health is concerned"
Another visitor from Illinois who
usually takes his family to Wiscon-
sin or Michigan for summer trip.
brought the entire family to Maine
this year. He arrived on the day that
Maine newspapers announced that
dCCOTOluk 10 u 6tdIiStlCdl
Maine residents had 46 chances in 100
Of reaching the age of 6b as compared
with 80 chances in 100 for the United
States registration area as a whole.
There were other figures too which
give the average length Of life in
Maine as seven and six-tenths years
longer than the average for the Unit
ed States and our low death record in
many preventable diseases-"That
certainly is encouraging to me-" he
said, III there IL any one thing that
we want to know about the place,
where we spend our vacations 1t is the
health protection which that place
affords. With Names wonderful
scenery and it's opportunity for so
many outdoor sports I should think
that announcements of this sort would
bring you a steadily increasing num-
Der Of summer visitors"
The mother of. a Pennsylvania girl
who Is spending her second summer in
a Maine girls camp was equally en-
thusiastic. Alice is Just bubbling
over with her Maine vacation oppor-
tunities and of course ! am more than
delighted to learn Of the health pro-
lection which is given her In Maine.
And these are typical Of many similar
comments which are coming to the
attention of Maine health workers
this summer.
Many Of the summer residents VINO
have been coming to Maine for years
and who have established permanent
summer homes in various parts OF the
state, are noting with interest the
plans for a Statewide census OF
Maine residents who have attained the
age of rs years. II am not resident
of Maine-that Is, I do not have my
legal residence here although do own
my summer home here" one Of them
said, but for the honor OF belonging
to Names 'Three-Quarter Century
club I am tempted to establish my
legal record in this State. 1t certain
" IL splendid Of Maine to plan such
a census and to establish such club.
We are often inclined, I fear, TO pay
possibly too much attention to- the
young folks-forgetting the great con-
tributions which the older generation
has made"
