everyone so that every portion of
Pleasant Pines may be reached by
anyone walking along the shores. At
the same time, cottage owners will,
of course. be given deeds to the wa
ter's edge. But the shore will be
wholly for the use of property own
erS.
The beach which has been rebuilt
at Pleasant Pines is ideal for bath
ing. Gently sloping, 1t is safe for the
youngest of children and yet it has
sufficient depth farther out for those
who may care for diving.
Ward pond is big enough to pro-
vide plenty of sea room" for those
who want to row or sail or motor
boat. 1t is big enough for fishing and
in the past few years thousands Of
trout have been placed in it's waters.
1t is near enough to Augusta for any
one to make comfortable run to it
and yet it is far enough off the beaten
path to provide the seclusion that
many wish. Then. too, the waters
are pure and deep, and there are no
marshy places to make the approaches
inaccessible.
The first announcement of the
Pleasant Pines development at Ward
Pond was made in the Kennebec
Journal last Saturday. Such an ap-
peal was made that fully 200 people
visited and enjoyed the beauties of
the place last Sunday.

Mrs. Russell William Magma, ma

has recently sent a letter regarding
Constitution hall to State regents,
the contents of which she wishes
put before the d. A. R.R members.
Constitution hall is necessary be-
cause the growth of the society de-
mands adequate representation and
proper seating capacity for delbera-
tons at congresses. The chairs,
which are being sold at $50 each,
Will serve as a lasting memorial to
chapters and to members and friends
whom we wish to honor. The mark
ers on these chairs will measure
3X6 on which will be placed what
ever inscription the purchaser des-
ignates, not exceeding 100 letters.
THE ground is being sold at 81
a cubic foot in the name of ances-
tors or any whom we wish to honor.
These names will be placed on a
scroll which will be enrolled and in
serted in the corner stone of Con-
stitution hall.
1T is hoped that there will be a
chair for every chapter. Our hall
being named Constitution and our
society being constituted of chapters,
it would seem that every chapter
in the national society should be
represented by chair in the chap
ters name.
I'm making payments, send checks
through your chapter treasurer, who
will forward to State treasurer. and
thence to treasurer general. In or
der that your chapter may receive
proper credit, please report all sales
and purchases to your chapter

No matter in which direction one
may look. Ward pond presents a de-
lightful view. On the east shore are
towering granite cliffs while on the
west the shore slopes gradually from
the waters edge to the hills that sur
round the lake. The same general
characteristic is found at the north
and south ends.

Nichols has gone at the task sys-

graded so that it Is an easy Jog
from the main road to the edge of the
pond. Then, too, the lots have been
so laid out that everyone of them is
on a road and everyone affords a
view of the pond, whether ii is on the
shore itself or several hundred feet
back.
A fine feature about the layout of
the lots at Pleasant Pines comes from
the fact that every lot is large
enough for a cottage and garage.
None is less than 1000 square feet
which is good size as summer lots
go.
Whoever buys lots will not own
the shore front. 1t is the purpose of
Mr.. Nichols to keep this clear for
