a typical reaction to the idea of skiing purely

SNOWSHOES MADE IN NORWAY
SKIS MADE IN PARIS
We Specialize in
State Of Maine Products

TTNHIs sign, in the window of Maine
Il sporting goods store last summer, tempted
a visitor to go inside. ''If you specialize in
Maine products" he demanded, whats the
idea of Dragging about snowshoes made in
Norway and skis made in Pariso"
Brings lot of people like you into the
store to ask questions" said the State-of-
Maine proprietor placidly.
Norway and Paris are towns in Maine, of
course. They are twin towns, and together they
constitute the backbone of winter sports in this
country. Norway makes more snowshoes than
any other town in the world. Paris was an
American pioneer i'm making skis, was
making sIeds and toboggans long before
that, and year after year ranks at or near
the top in production Of all snow items.
Northern Europeans have been skiing for
500 years. according to the records, but it is
a relatively new means of locomotion in this
country. 1t was only about so years ago that
a Paris sled manufacturer named Morton
saw his first skis. He was driving down a hill
in his sleigh and Finnish farm worker sud-
denly whizzed past him.
A Smart Yankee
WHOA there!" the manufacturer yelled
What in tarnation are those things?"
He learned that they were Skis and that
the Finn had made them himself. Whereupon.
being smart Yankee. he closed a DEAL The

Finn went to work for him,
and the Paris Manufacture
ing Company now turns
out thousands of pairs of
skis every year. They
range from inexpensive
pine jobs for children to
the finest steel-rimmed
hickory and laminated
skis. Even Norway, which
proudly calls itself the
Snowshoe Town, now
makes about as many skis
as snowshoes, since the
snowshoe factory, Snocraft,
Incorporated, started a
sideline of children's skis a
few years ago.
Yet the ski fever raging

beat snowshoers on any ordinary cross country
jaunt in the snow, but Norway people are
unconvinced you can get around anywhere
on snowshoes." they argue. "You can 20
through the woods or over rough fields, and
you don't have to wait for the snow to be Just
So Of course you can go downhill faster on skis
- but you can break your neck faster, too"
They like to tell you, in Norway, about
Alfred Jackson, the game warden, and the
wildcat he shot last winter. Jackson was
patrolling on snowshoes one morning about
nine o'clock when he spotted the cat S tracks.
How To Tree Cat
He STARTED following, and at two o'clock,
still on the trail. he saw that the crust was
getting soft and the cat was beginning to
break through. Peeling off his coat, he started
running it down. He caught up with the cat,
treed it. and shot it. 1t weighed As pounds
was the biggest ever seen in those parts Only
on snowshoes Norway people insist could
he have done it.
As proof of what can be done even on crude
snowshoes, Elmer Aldrich, the angular Yankee
who runs the snowshoe factory, keeps in his
office pair made of sticks of wood and pieces
of wire by German prisoner of war. Escaping
from prison camp near the Canadian border,
the German eluded captors for 10 days He
walked l26 miles in three feet of snow before
game wardens on real snowshoes caught up
with him.
Snowshoes, like skis, have become articles
of recreation in these days of winter sports,
though they are still primarily utiitarian for
hunters, trappers. farmers. rural mail carriers,
country doctors and others who have to get
through unplowed snow. Canada has many

Best known of these old-timers was Nellie
Durham, diminutive Yankee whose flowing
white mustache and shock of white hair made
him look like a miniature Santa Claus. Nellie
had farm, but he liked hunting, fishing and
fiddling better than farming, and eked out
his income by making snowshoes in winter.
