Ao1OO IA, MC.-TCW PC1OOlS
realize that Maine offers a type
of vacation not found in any
other State. That is the oppor-
tunity to tramp in the woods,
away from mail. regular tele-
phone service and other civilized
accessories, yet with warm cabins,
comfortable beds and good meals.
All this is possible because of
the existence in Maine of a par
Iticular type of hostelry known as
sporting camps, and because the
Appalachian Trail traverses the
Maine woods for 266 miles.
This segment of the trail, which
begins at Mount Katahdin and
lextends southwesterly to the New
Hampshire line, is well marked
and maintained. It is, of course,
Ia wilderness trail, through a will
derness area, and getting lost
from it would be serious. How
ever, the Maine Appalachian Trail
Club has issued a 550-page guide
with 10 maps, covering the trail
in the State and many side trails
It describes the way in detail
and lists all sporting camps on
or near the trail. Advance reser-
vationS are advised.
Camp Chores Eliminated.
A stay at a sporting camp
makes an ideal vacation for one
who wants the relaxation of the
woods but either has no camping
equipment or prefers to spend
his time in healthful exercise OF
rest. instead of spending much
of it on camp chores. Such sport.
ing camps are scattered through
out the Maine woods, many Of
them being located along the
Appalachian Trail. In fact, one
may cross Maine via the trai
merely by travelling from camp
to camp.
In a few places, the distance.
are such that one must be met
by boat at the end of a reason
able days journey and taken tt
camp. The camp proprietor will
arrange for this at a nominal
charge.
A good way to do is to plan
on spending two nights at least
at each camp. coming in one
evening, devoting the next day
to visits to points Of interest
and the second day continuing
the journey down the trail.
At many camps one should stay
several days, merely to see the
principal places nearby.
Attractive Settings.
Such a camp consists of cen
trail dining hall surrounded by
cabins, usually on a lake and al
ways in an attractive setting
While the furniture is simple, it
is ample and the beds are COM
Portable. Some have inside plumb
ing; others have not.
Here one may have the privacy
of a cabin and yet have no camp
ing chores nor housekeeping
duties. Camp personnel prepare
and serve wholesome meals in the
dining hall.
The cost is little more than
tourist rates." Charges vary from
Sc to SO a day, with weekly rates
beginning at $35 depending or
the camp.
It is not advisable for a person
to tramp the trail alone, for ont
may turn an ankle while far from
camp. Two or more persons may
have pleasant trips of two day.
to three weeks duration on tht
trail. All that need be carried i:

1st Boys Brass Band

Very few people may know it,
but the first boys brass band in
the world made its debut in Oslo
exactly SO years ago Saturday,
May II.
The man who conceived the idea
and took the initiative to organize
and train a boys brass band was
Filliam Fare, a well-known mu-
sic dealer in the Norwegian CAPT.
tai.
In the years to come, Mr.. Fare
and his boys went on concert
tours to towns on the west coast
and in eastern Norway, and where
ever they played the result was
the establishment of another band.
Today the popular music dealer
can look back at his hard work
with great satisfaction, for boys
brass bands have sprung up, not
only in every part of Norway, but
throughout the world.

partly to smaller imports of ships.
In coming months, the balance
of payments is expected to reflect
