is for VISION

as well as for VICTORY

The youth of America has preserved for us all the priceless boon of freedom What can we offer them in partial return? % We of Central Maine Power Company believe that the greatest contribution we can make is to help create new opportunities for the youth of Maine — to work, to live abundantly, to enjoy the American way of life. The great electrical industry, of which we are proud to be a part, is one of continually expanding frontiers. This is especially true in Maine, where inexhaustible and inex­ pensive hydro-electric resources make almost limitless the possible uses of electricity to both industry and agriculture. If we are to develop these possibilities to the full—we need i the inspiration and the energy of youth. We are gratified that every year, many graduates of the colleges and universities of Maine enroll in our com­ pany. We stress this mutual relationship in the belief that r enduring prosperity for the State of Maine can only be achieved when youth is encouraged to lend its vision to the development of our great industrial and agricultural potentialities.
