BRUNSWICK, ME-?
mrs. X. P. c.. SilUer Spring.
For Mrs. w. j. W., Lexington
Park. Until I married I lived
in South Portland, Me-, about
20 miles from Brunswick, and
I have an uncle living in
Brunswick now. So I can tell
you it is a very nice small
city on a river and there are
textile mills there. Brunswick
is the home of Bowdoin Col
lege and there are many fine
old homes and residents there;
also new homes and q few
apartments, or flats, as they
are called in Maine. Rents
are much less than here in the
District area, although there
are not as many new units.
1t is not necessary to COM
mute from Portland. There
are excellent roads in and
around Brunswick and you'll
be near many vacation resorts.
small and large. Many folks
reside in beach cottages the
year round as Maine winters
aren't as cold or as snowy
as they used to be. You wear
about the same clothes as you
do here, only winter there is
a little longer than here and
the summers are shorter and
less humid. Schools are ex-
cellent. I taught at Standish.
Me-, and can vouch for the
schools. The roads are plowed
in the winter from the minute
the snow falls, and you are
never Snowed-in as you are
here in Washington. Even If
a blizzard occurs. you will find
the roads plowed out. There is
a main street with movies.
stores. churches, ETC.. about the
size of Clarendon. Va. I love
Maine!

POEM.
miss c. !. o., Washington
Here is the poem requested
by Mrs. H. r. w., Silver
Spring. It is "Daffodils," by
William Wordsworth.
I wandered lonely as Q cloud
That floats on high DER wales and hills.
When all at once / saw crowd,
A host, of golden dahodils;
Beside the lake. beneath the trees.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin OF bay;
Ten thousand saw / at glance
Tossing their heads In sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced. but
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
poet could not but be gay
In such iocund company:
/ sazed-and eazed-but httl
What wealth the show to me had
brought.
For oft, when on my couch lie
In vacant or in pensive mood.
Thev fash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
