Although they’ve all had considerable luck, not one can top Mr. John Kent of Portland. Mr. Kent, who has been vacationing in the region for many jrears and at Heald’s the past three, surprised one and all (and possibly himself) with a sik pound salmon. It is the largest he has caught to date; and need­ less to say he is overjoyed. As you drive along route 17 from Oquossoc Village your eye is caught by a green oasis on the Rangeley lakeshore. The modest sign at the drive states simply that you are at Heald’s House­ keeping Camps.
