of Maine and their home communi-
ties by the members of this Maine
Three Quarter Century Club.
1t is proper, and emminently fit
ting to give public expression of ap-
probation at this time to the county
chairmen for this census, who served
as members of the state committee
and to the hundreds of city and town
committees with their thousands of
associate volunteers who labored
with a public spirit that is seldom
equalled, that this census might be
completed. 1t is we'll to repeat here
that no other state ever has attempt
ed to publicly honor in this way, its
men and women pioneers who are
so directly responsible for the pres
ent day successes. which our young
err generation has enjoyed. The
Maine Three Quarter Century Club
is the first statewide organization of
its kind ever formed in the United
States. The entire project beginning
with the conception of the idea. the
organization of a statewide census
the tabulation of the returns and
the consumation of plans for this
memorable meeting. was carried
through in one month.
Immediately following the call for
this statewide census by volunteers,
came offers of assistance by cham
bers of commerce, Kiwanis and Ro-
tary Clubs, women's clubs, workers
in the Grange, the Parent Teacher
Associations, medical societies and
public spirited men and women in
every walk of life. Maine newspa-
pers rendered invaluable help. There
was spirit of cooperation that
seldom If ever has been equaled in
statewide project of any sort.
Local committees for the census
were formed in 1913 cities and towns,
having total population of 6SS.S2
The population of the entire state is
76S,014 Therefore 50 6-10 percent
of the population of the state was
included in this census.
Reports carefully tabulated from
these 393 cities and towns, offer A.
III residents of Maine who are elig-
ible for membership in the Three
Quarter Century Club. These will
be given certificates of charter mem
bership supplied by the Maine Pub
lie Health Association and presented
by Governor Brewster and Mr.. DAN
lei w Hoegg, chairman of the State
committee.
The combined age of the members
of this club on the basis of the
above figures is 1,125 300 years. The
average age is II years. Ten of this

ouently triumphed over obstacles
which would seem unsurmountaple
to many of the younger generation.
There are among you, so many eX-
amples of high minded. patriotic, un-

ouire volumes to do it justice.
Even the most casual review OF
the achievements of these Name
pioneers will furnish inspiration for
an entire generation. Within the
lifetime of the youngest member of
this club America has advanced far

of our Republic. Members of the

this advance

Following the noon lunch which
was eaten in the park fronting the
State House, a great hollow square
was formed facing a temporary plat
form and here occurred the most
pleasing event of the day-The Lady
of the Lake with some 30 couples, all
over IS taking part.
With Douglass Melody Men dis
pensing music of the old time tempo
there was a noticeable movement of
pedal extremities among the old
folks and when volunteers were call
ed for, one of the first to respond
was HAL j. Spiers of Augusta, aged
IS, a sprightly gentleman of the old
school all dolled up in a high silk
hat, vintage of the SOS and ditto a
swallow tail coat and waistcoat. For
a partner he chose Daphne Robbins,
aged 50 of Boothbay. Daphne was
becomingly gowned in an old fash
toned white lace dress and though
her partner, HAL, was formerly a
dancing academy master, she looked
not to him for prompting as the
dance progressed.
After the Lady of the Lake came
a series of old time breakdowns with
several couple taking part with re-
markable dash and vim.
Fortunately prizes had been of
fered for this event for in all likeli-
hood the judges would not have been
able to agree which couple was the
best. The first to take the green's

The Fortier twins, Joseph and
Charles, aged IS, of Orono, were
present and claim to be the oldest
twins in New England. Despite their
advanced years both admitted that
they still turned in a good days
work but found time to make the
journey to Augusta.
In their youth they were knights
of the pick pole and peavey and 10
years ago as boys of Is they gave
good account of themselves on the
river drive and in the big woods.
They were born in Fort Kent and
later moved to Orono. Both are
widowers, Joseph being the father of
three boys and Charles of five sons
and five daughters.

the Maine drives have ever had a
sick day, and while they have made
a few trips to other parts of the
State they have never been beyond
its borders. The present trip to the
Capital is one of the longest they
have ever undertaken. Both are
apparently hale and hearty with
good appetites and a penchant for
strong black pipes. Joe, in an aside
to the writer and with a twinkle in
his eyes, said, that while their ages
are given as IS he in reality is the
older. having arrived ahead of
Charlie by several minutes. He
said, however, that this fact has

To the town of Owls Head in
Knox county with a population of
152. goes the honor of having the
highest per centage of its citizens
enrolled as members of the Maine
Three Quarter Century Club, on the
basis of returns received up to and
including August 2Jth.. which was
the closing date for the receipt of
returns to be listed in the contest for
the hand painted State of Maine flag,
to be awarded by Governor Brew

Twenty-four of its citizens are 10
years of age or over The per cent

which the State you have built, has
for your achievements. In so doing.
YOU have set an example to the

Governor Brewster

Beneath the green bending boughs
of the years old maple trees, Gov.
Ralph o. Brewster of Maine, extend
ed to the members of the Three
Quarters Century club at their first
meeting the glad hand of best wish
es. He gave to them the keys of the
State House, the Blaine Mansion and
he felt safe also in giving them the
key of the city of Augusta
He said that he was perhaps the
youngest governor and he felt that
his was an honored position in ex-
tending welcome to the youngest
people in the state of Maine. He
said they have demonstrated the vir-
tues of the climate to perpetuate
their lives.
thoughts make it almost impos-
slble to express emotions as we
thlnk what this gathering represents
as portrayed in the history of Maine.
Ihere is no better place for such an
occasion as here before the State
House. Recall the days of 1861 to
1865, which are remembered by so
many gathered here today. Then in
1881, the days of the temporary in
surrecuon, when cannons were
paced on the State House lawns to
ald IN the problems which thew
reared. Come down to these delight
