and towns who had motored to the
spot to inspect the future community
park. assembled and in brief and ap-
pirate remarks, Francis II. Bate OF
Winthrop, sectional vice. commander
of the American Legion, commended
the work and the spot to the recrea.
tional interests of kennebec county
citizens.
Only two Of the Kennebec county
posts of the American Legion were
not represented in the nearly one
hundred volunteer workers at the
grounds on Sunday, but these two
posts will probably send husky
groups for the bees" on subsequent
Sundays, and when the park has
been completed it will most truly
have been a community enterprise.
During the current week all roads
in the county leading to Three Mile
Pond will be posted with signs d.
recting the way to the community
park project, and advance indications
are that on Independence Day this
beauty spot will be the Mecca for,
one of the greatest assembages of
Kennebec county citizens in a decade.
The general committee in charge Of
the program for the dedicatory exer-
cises on that day is arranging pro-
gram which will absolutely be the
biggest thing of its kind ever staged
in this state. Congressman John Z.
Nelson has assured the committee
! that he will be present on that occasc
ion if Congress adjourns in time.
The complete program for the days
observance will be annouced within
! a few days. :. and meanwhile Rotary
and Kiwanis clubs and other civic
and service organizations are plan
ming to participate in the exercises
/ and events of that day. Yesterday
| there was a surprising number Of au-
| tomobile parties. which made the
Three Mile Pond project their objec-
| tive for the days trip, and they with
the workers enjoyed the day i'm
mensely. The cars at the pond
Sunday were from all parts OF the
county, and the Legion post trustees
| of the project are encouraging as
many people as possible to visit the
park and inspect the work under way

Mr.. Cummings then introduced Gov

ly. saving in part:
"A party of this kind Is much more
difficult for me to address than those
met with on our southern trip. / got
along quite nicely with our southern
neighbors-they didn't know me as
we'll as this group does. But ! feel
that all of us who went on that trip
realize now, better than ever before,
that we have the most beautiful State
in the Union right here at home" He
paused: THE trip was an entire sue
cess and we now have every reason
to believe that Maine Is at the dawn
of new era-that the party coming
here this summer from Florida will
prove to be the leaders of tremen-
dous influx of visitors from all over
the country. The = Maine Florida
trip, was the largest single factor In
the Advertising campaign which is al
ready commencing to show results; the
4000-mile furrow that we plowed
through the consciousness of the
South will continue for years to bear
fruit. The social aspects of that trip,
pleasant as they were, would never
have induced any of you to make the
sacrifices which were IN many cases
necessary in order to take the trip.
Neither would they have brought you
together here today" Governor Brew
ster stated that the reason behind the
taking of the trip was we'll known TO
everyone present, and he wished to
again thank them for their work in be-
half of the State. He suggested that
they could aid the state still further
by joining the newly formed Maine
Associates, and by assisting his ONCE
in sending out pamphlets to the many
friends they had made in the South.
Philip Kicker Shoroy then explained
the organization of the Maine Assoc
ciates. urging all present to join and
to induce others to do likewise.
