Maine In Motion Pictures
Two reels of motion pictures were
shown to the Kiwanian audience. the
first depicting the canoe trip down the
Allagash, taken by Governor Brew
ster and party of friends in the sum-
mer of 1925. from Greenville to Fort
Kent through 100000 acres of virgin
forests. Various Maine events were
pictured in the other reel, these in
Guiding MacMillan's departure for the
Arctic regions, the Know Maine Pill
grfmage, dog races at Poland Spring
last winter, sweeping the salmon pool
at Raymond in the summer of 1925
and the meeting of the Three-quarter
Century Club at Augusta, the plan for
which was. devised and put across by
Kiwanian Walter d. Thurber, execu-
tive secretary Of the Maine Public
Health Association.
There were also views of the boat
races held last summer at. Boothbav
Harbor. and relative to these Mr.. Sho-
rey announced that it is planned to
make this an annual event and to in
terest New York speed boat enthus-
lasts to enter SO that it will be an
outstanding event in this section of
the country. He also stated that plans
are under way for a series of yacht
races from Sandy Hook to Portland
with entries from leading yacht clubs
of this section Of the United States.
Other pictures showed the location of
the Passamaquoddy Bay power pro-
ject.
These pictures, Mr.. Shorey declared,
were few selections from the Inter-
national News reels released from
New York and shown during the past
year to 20,000,000 people in all parts
of the United States and, in some in
stances, abroad. In addition to this
form of publicity Mr.. Shorey showed
six large volumes of news stories con-
corning Maine which, through syntli-
cate arrangements, have appeared in
Newspapers from New England to
California, and these $4,000 lines Of
reading material at the price for dis
play advertising represent Maine pub
licity to the value of over S400, 900.
Mr.. Shorey recently returned from
2000-mile trip all over the State in
the interests of motion picture of
Maine which is in the making. This
movie will be released next spring and
will be devoted to Maine as a whole.
Endorses Chamber of Commerce
Referring to Augustus move for a
new Chamber of Commerce. the
speaker said that that is what every
community needs for only through

planning and working together can
the desired results be attained.
Maine should make every endeayor
to capitalize It's winter sports. In
this connection, the speaker told Of
what Switzerland has done with an
average winter temperature OF lust
one degree below that Of Maine.
Switzerland gets $100,00O,000 annually
through advertising its winter re-
sorts and Is on the most sound finan-
clal basis of any country in the world.
There are wonderful opportunities in
Maine and we are now starting out to
do that which Switzerland has been
doing for years. One of Names lead
ing winter events is the dog race at
Poland Spring, and as these are held
in January, earlier than In other
states, they secure wide publicity.
The point was stressed that Maine
people go to Florida and other states
for scenery, the beauty Of which does
not compare with that offered within
the limits Of the Pine Tree State.
I'VE have a God-made country in
Maine with all the natural resources;
all we must do is to sell it." he as
serted in conclusion.
Mr.. Shorey who was formerly EN-
ployed on the editorial staff OF the
New York Evening World and later
was news editor for the Fox News
Reel. Is enthusiastic over the posi-
bilities for greater development in
Maine, his native state, and in his
message yesterday he succeeded in
transmitting considerable of that
spirit of enthusiasm to his audience.
The motion pictures were shown un-
der the technical direction Of Miss
Dorothy Bryant, director Of the di-
vision of dental hygiene of the State
Department of Health. The Kiwanis
program was supervised by the pub
Lefty committee of the club of which
Ralph G. Weber is chairman.
Christmas Cards for Veterans
Col. Keith Ryan, governor of the
National Soldiers Home at Togus,
reported that many Christmas cards
have been received from Kiwanians
for distribution to the veterans at the
Home. He also stated that school
children in many parts Of the State
are also sending greeting cards bear
ing their signatures, and that this is
a valuable lesson in patriotism and
way to show to the veterans that
their sacrifices are appreciated.
School pupils in the following towns
and cities have been heard from: Lu-
bee, Boothbay Harbor, Frye, Mexico,
Biddeford, Skowhegan, Livermore
Falls, Limestone, Bar Harbor, Thorn
dixie, Augusta, Gardiner, Oakfield,

selves of the opportunity this holiday

Home should simply sign them and

al Soldiers Home. Togus, Maine"
The cards will be distributed on
Christmas Day by Governor Ryan of
the Home.
