that an overwhelming food of hos
pitality has poured out from every
section Of Maine to greet the most
distinguished group Of visitors that
mas, perhaps, ever come within our

to our visitors and to the people of
Maine as well to discover the cordi-
atty and unanimity of the welcome
that was shown" continues Cover
nor Brewster in his statement.
"The citizens of Maine are under
deep obligation to the communities
and the individuals who gave so
much of their time and their thought
and their resources to making this
gathering a wonderful success. Per-
sonally. however, feel even more
obligated to those individuals and
sections who were ready to help but
whose aid it was not possible to use
because of the limitations of time
and space.
Whatever blessings shall flow
from the teeming week that has lust
passed must be shared among all
