ED MILLER SPEAKS ON “MAINE” The Historical club met at the home of Mrs. Charles Ehingcr Wednesday afternoon, with Mrs. Dave Campbell serving as hostess. Mrs. Ed Miller, in charge of current events, read a very interesting paper on the state of Maine. Maine is referred to as the Pine Tree state because of the dense forests of evergreens which cover four-fifths of the state. There are only about a dozen cities with more than 10,000 population. Portland is the largest with over 72,000. Augusta, the capital, has only a little over 21,000. Maine is a land of rugged grandeur with one of the most scenic seacoasts in the world, this being its prime summer attraction. Also artists are attracted to Maine for this reason and many have figured permanently in the development of American art. Ninety-seven per cent of Maine’s forests are classified as commercial. The annual cut throughout the state supplies nearly 1,000 wood using plants, paper being the principal finished product. Although unfitted for extensive agriculture, Maine is a leading potato growing state. The first people in Maine were the Red Paint people, known only through their burial mounds. The* early white settlers were mainly English and Scotch-Irish. A notable historical religious event in Maine was the founding of (he society of Christian Endeavor in Portland in 1881. This organi'ation became world-wide with their work in nearly" 100 denominations. The next meeting will be October 28 at the home of Mrs. Harold Messick. I Locals Mrs. J. O. R. Campbell, Geneva, has been admitted to the Cooper rest home. Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Shroyer returned home after a month’s fishing trip at Oden and Indian rivers in Michigan. Mrs. Leo Girardot of Hoagland and Mrs. Gale Schaadt of Decatur, are leaving today for a ten day trip to Miami, Fla. They plan to visit Mrs. Girardot’s brother, Donald Lobsiger and family of Hialeah, for several days. Births The parents of the seven pound baby girl born at the Adams county memorial hospital at 6:52 p.m., October 14, were Donald and Frances Miller Gruss, route 1, Yoder, and not Donald Gruff as was stated in Thursday’s paper.
