Starting in the afternoon with an
extensive program of water events,
which will include dash and dis
lance swimming races for both men
and women, canoe races, motorboat

Charles P. Kinsman of this city
Is the president of the Association
and is completing his second year as
head of the sportsmen's and lake
property owners organization. Mr..
Kinsman was the father of the Cob
bosseecontee Fish and Game Asso-
citation and has worked tirelessly in
it's interests, both as member and
it's president, and in the Hall of the
House of Representatives of which
he was member at the send Legis-
lature.
Organized Two Years Ago
The C. F. and G. Assn. was or.
ganized in 1920 and it's president for
two years was Percy w. Hill of Au-
gusta. This organization of cot
tagers and those interested in Lake
Cobbosseecontee, was in reality the
forerunner of the present Boost
Maine movement, as the purposes
and ideals of the. society were to
foster knowledge of the attractions
and many advantages which the
beautiful twelve mile Kennebec
county lake have to offer. 1t has in
the five years of it's existence broad
cast the natural wonders of Cobbos-
seecontee, and it's efforts have at
tracted to the lake many people
from beyond the borders of the
State, who have in their turn be-
come permanent summer residents

Developing Lake Resources
The association has also done
much to develop the lake for fishing,
and many thousands of fish fry have
been planted in it's waters. The in
tention of this committee of the or
ganization is to purchase and stock
the lake with larger fish than are
provided in the regular manner by
the State fish hatcheries. This acti-
witty of the association is supported
by the small fee for annual dues of
the members. The association also
takes care of the placing Of buoys
about the lake for the protection of
those who navigate its surface, keep
the several lighthouses in repair, and
further protects the property own
ers.
To Build New Fish Screen
The most important project to be
presented at the business session of
the association at the meeting next
Friday will be the matter of building
new fish screen at the Outlet to
replace the present Anticipated and
wornout screen, which has been in
place for nearly quarter of CEN,
fury. The plans for the new screen
cal! for an equipment 125 feet long,
which is to be built 800 feet down
stream from the present screen. The
screen Is to be of concrete and
steel and 1t is estimated will cost
about $ooOO. Part of the cost of
the new construction will be cared
Tor by the appropriation for that
purpose from the State Department
or FISHERIES and Game, and the re-
malnder of the cost mustsbe provid-
ed for by other interests.

! ment during the banquet session in
the Island Park Inn. The supper pro-
gram will include an impersonator,

vision there will be a special class
for boats driven by cupboard type

with the cottagers at the present
time, there will probably be an ex-
