1.-THE citizens of Maine have occas-
ion to be gratified that organizations
and individuals are unselfshly de-
voting so much of their time and
energy to the welfare of the birds
and animals of our state" says Gov.
Brewster in the proclamation.
This would be sorry world in
deed without these friends and
neighbors and servants to keep us
company" continues the proclama-
ton.
1T is altogether fitting that their
service and the joy they give should
be specially recognized by a week
such as is suggested from April
thirteenth to eighteenth to he known
as "Be Kind to Animals Week" I'd
also that a special day on April
Seventeenth should be designated as

To the Legislators

Appreciation Of the efforts Of the
Legislature in passing the act which
separated Beals Island from the town
of Jonesport and allowed the inhabi-
tants of Beals TO incorporate their
own town, called forth display of
generosity from the jubilant citizens
Of Beals Island. This generosity
took form in the presentation of one
broiled live lobster to each member
of the legislature. officials connected
with the State House and with the
legislature and also to all the clerks
employed in the State House. When
the express from the 4.05 train on
Tuesday reached the House it looked
as if all the Holsters along the
Atlantic seaboard had been corralled
and sent to Augusta.
The passing of the act of separa-
ton of Jonesport and Beals Island is
the result of n fight on the part of
the Island folk that has eliminated
in success after failure in two pre-
vious legislatures. There are SOS

occupation is lobster fishing. and
