Many people in Bath and Wis
casset recall Joseph Greenleaf whose
death in Seattle occurred recently.
His boyhood was passed in Wis
casset but he frequently went 10
Bath to visit at the home OF MS
uncle and aunt, the late Mr.. and
Mrs. Granville c. Greenleaf of WASH
ington street. He was the owner OF
a pair of handsome Shetland ponies
which he frequently drove from
Wiscasset to Bath and was the envy
of many boy in the shipping city.
Later when the bicycle came into
use he had the first so-called "sa1ety
bicycle, similar to the present type
which had ever been brought into
Bath. 1t attracted much attention as
all of the bikes owned here at that
time were of the high wheel variety
Now that there is good prospect
that Maine hardwoods will soon be
used extensively by manufacturers
II is more than ever important that
fires be kept out of the Maine forests.
Maine still has a big asset In It's
timberlands IL 1t will but give them
the attention they deserve. Pre-
yention of forest fires reforestation
and a decent regard for the future
in cutting the trees will do much 10
preserve our forests and keep them
source of beauty and a source OF
revenue for many generations TO
come. The barren tracts OF land
which have been cut-over should be
reforested that they may become OF
some value whereas now they are
nothing but a burden to the man who
has to pay taxes upon them.-Bath
