Clipper Days

For more than two and half
centuries shipbuilding fourished
and became the chief industry in so
coast and river towns. The clipper
ship era was when Maine came into
her own with these beautiful ships
built of Maine timber by Maine
builders, and largely differed and
manned by natives of Maine whose
birthright was knowledge of the
ways of the sea.
Bath not only won fame for it's
wooden ships, but when iron and
steel replaced oak and pine, Bath
met the new demand by building
the first steel sailing vessel, a four
master. This vessel and the last
wooden four-master built in Bath
were both sunk by the Germans,
the wooden William P. Frye being
the first American ship thus sacri-
feed. Battleships, cruisers, gun
boats, and destroyers, as well as the
ram Katahdin, are included in the
total output of more than a million
and a quarter tons of shipping
launched at Bath alone.

Wandering of mast pines was re-
garded by the colonists as an inva-
sion of property rights An official
complaint is on record that only
! tree in 500 suitable for masts was
sent to England.
A diameter of two feet being the
lower limit for broad arrow trees,
the Maine sawmills turned out
boards just within the limit, SO that
roofs of old houses of that period
show splendid pine boards % or %
inches wide, but almost never one
of "a inches.
Scores of "broad arrow lawsuits
were tried, but impartial juries were
impossible to find for mast cases.
The prejudice against masts
reached climax at the outbreak
of the Revolution, when the export
of masts was violently stopped, the
opposition at Falmouth leading lat
er to the bombardment and burning
of that town. Shutting off the supply
of American masts for seven years
so weakened British fleets in their
rigging that they suffered unduly
from storms during the Revolution.
One "broad arrow" inspector in
his report mentioned one pine of
over II feet in circumference.

BY Virginia Vale

IF YOU remember "Dawn
= PATROL as it was first
made, be sure to go to the
new version that is being
whipped up by Warner Broth
ers. There'n be the same ex-
cellent story, but we're prom
ised that it will be twice as
thrilling If that's possible -
because of improved methods
of picture making.
A flying field has been laid out,
the Marine sector has been duplicat-
ed, a British cast has been collect
ed, because it is a picture of the
Royal Flying corps-Errol Flynn,
David Niven, Basil Rathbone,
Claude Rains, Barry Fitzgerald,
Patric Knowles, among others. Ten
planes of the war period have been
purchased, equipped with modern
engines and two types of machine
guns; they'll be crashed or burned
during the making of the picture.
I'm hoping that there'll be one
certain improvement, and that's in
the story. If you remember the
original, with Dick Barthelmess and
Douglas Fairbanks Jr., it ended
with Barthelmess flying over enemy
country, doing practically as much
damage as an entire army might
have. 1t was preposterous, and
came very near spelling a fine
picture.
It's interesting, this time of year,
to see what programs the big spon-
sors have lined up. Here's a sample

cone and tassel was declared by
legislative resolve to be the floral
emblem of Maine, having been Sc
lected by an informal popular ref
erendum.
AS early as 1856, the town authori-
ties of South Berwick passed an
order against waste of timber. In
more recent times forest conserva-
ton was accepted as business pol
icy, and protective measures
against fire were early adopted and
generously supported by cumberland
owners, even before state laws were
passed. Maine was the first state
to erect lookout towers and also the
first to build them of steel. The
first lookout station was erected by
private landowners on Squaw noun
tain in 1906. At present the state
maintains Sc fire stations.
The first sawmill in America was
built near York in 1923, and another
at South Berwick in 1881; and so
years later there were "a mills in
the province of Maine, including the
first gang sawmill on the continent
at site aptly named Great Works.
Opportunity for the infant colo
MES came from the depletion of
England's forests. During the Sew
enteenth and Eighteenth centuries,
naval reserves meant oak, not oil,
but Queen Elizabeth and her Stuart
successors squandered the royal for
ests to provide increased revenues
independent of parliament, while adj
mirals protested. There was a
scarcity of oak timbers, and the
white pine of New England gradu-
ally became England's chief source
of the masts sorely needed by it's
navy.
In a way the royal navy's timber
policy contributed to the Revolu-

he enters the state of
Maine, the newcomer
promptly realizes that it can
best be described as a land of
trees. Forests cover more
than three-fourths of the
area. The present Is million
acres of woodland represent
a shrinkage of less than 20
per cent from the primeval
condition. In recent years
the few salients slowly won
along the forest border by
newly cleared farms are
much more than offset by the
steady push of pine, spruce,
fir, and hemlock seedlings, every
where winning back abandoned
fields.
At the first session of its legisla-
ture, Maine adopted a seal with
the north star as the crest, below
which the shield carries the white
pine and moose, the two monarchs
of the Maine woods. The descrip-
ton of the seal, in the 1920 laws of
Maine, says of the pine: ut is as
well the staple of the commerce of
Maine, as the pride of her forests"
