'CCC RECRUITS IN
 DEVELOPMENT
Recreation Areas I'm. proved Through Efforts
 of Enlisted Youths

Civilian Conservation Corps ac- tivities in Acadia National Park, Maine, are improving the recreat- ional opportunities in that area. according to reports received by Robert Techner, director of Elmer. gency Conservation work.
 The 15sth eco Company, locat. ed at Southwest Harbor, Maine, has been active in sodding. planting and landscaping the area and in reducing the fire hazards. A source of grass sod was discovered at the Bar Harbor airport in Trenton and collecting grounds for wild plant material were also developed on privateiy.owned lands near Tren. ton.
 In the reduction of fire hazards. particular care was exercised by the enrollees to confine the cutting to dead and actually dying trees of all species and to prevent the wide. spread cutting of young fir growths Tn areas away from roads and trails. where dead wood does not add to the fire hazard, decaying logs arc allowed to rcmain, in or. der to retain the natural appear ance of the woodland. Also favor. able conditions for certain forms of wildlife arc maintained.
 To protect the landscape work ut the foot of the lake near the pumping station in Acadia National Park, a combined dam and fish. way was completed at the outlet of Great Pond. before tho con- struction of the small dam and fishway, Q porous stone and earth dam with q narrow screened spill. way spanned tho stream. At high water, the screen in the old spill way usually was clogged up with leaves and stocks, thus raising the water level to the first floors of many cottages along tho shore. At low water, the park developed shore llno near the pumping sta. ton was loft high and dry. These conditions were controlled by the dam construction. The floating fish. way valve which was installed ser. we'd to permit surplus water beyond the spillway to como over the dam. at the same time permitting free passage of trout and salmon over the dam ct all seasons and water levels,
 The rearing pool stystem has ai- so been improved by the eco nc. roileos. The Mount Desert Island Fish and Game association pur. chased the necessary food for the trout and about 10000 fry were carried over the past winter. The foot trails in Canada Hollow and on Beach Mountain near tho Is. land Boy Scout center and tho Appalachian Mo ountain Clubs buildings, have been resurfaced and otherwise repaired. Additional trails were cleared and graded on Western Mountain.

As of the present I discount
some of the things I heard in
Massachusetts and will venture an
opinion that as of today President
Roosevelt probably has not lost
Massachusetts for 1896. But he
will before then.
That opinion is fortified by

the same frame of mind.
The New Deal lost Maine in 1882
and won it in the 1884 gubernatorial
