the board of directors, who consider
ed all names very carefully and chose
the prize winners with much pre-
cision.
A truly wonderful spot Is Summer
Haven, which might be called a
Kennebec County enterprise. Many
out-of- State people who pass their
vacations in Maine will be attracted
to this new development, which Is
centrally located, within a five or
six hours ride from Boston. and only
a few minutes ride from the Names
