SUMMER, 1949 3 Rockland Inherits A Million

By James M. Brown, III

The author of this article was named director of the Farnsworth Library and Art Museum in April, 1948. For­ merly assistant director of the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, Mr. Brown received his training at Har­ vard’s Fogg Museum where he completed three years of graduate study.

T he largest colored photograph in the State of Maine— 18 feet by eight—now is on display at the H. R. Dunham Company store in Waterville, prepared by one of the most outstanding high school art classes in the State, directed by Mrs. Muriel Ragsdale of Waterville Senior High School. The original Maine “ Vacationland” mural was painted by the school’s art class of 1947. Dunham’s had it photographed and the mammoth 18-by-8 black and white print was made in New York, mounted on muslin, and displayed in the store last Sum­ mer. Eleven girls in the art class, this year reproduced the colors of the original in photographic oils.

Motorists on U. S. Route 1 this summer are ad­ miring an unusually attractive sign at Rockport, indicating the name of the town and topped by a carved, wooden, sea gull which startlingly life­ like, seems to be alighting on the sign. THE PINE CONE started the chain of events which resulted in the design and carving of this sign by Jay and Marge Hanna, outstanding artists and craftsmen of Rockport, and its gift to the town by Mrs. Efrem Zimbalist. In the summer of 1945, Jay Hanna of Worcester, Massachusetts, read an article in the Pine Cone by Richard Hebert describing the advan­ tages and natural beauty of the towns of Camden and Rockport and decided that this was the place he wanted to live. The Hannas moved to Camden in January ’47, and later purchased their own home in the neighboring town of Rockport and opened a studio and handcraft shop there. The couple work as a team, with Jay “ dreaming up the designs” and doing the carving, while Marge, a graduate of the Worcester Ai*t Museum School, makes the sketches and working drawings of the various projects.

W ith 12 Maine counties already covered in the current “ Boost Maine” Campaign, the movement already is beginning to bear much fruit in a better general psychology throughout the State. The “ booster” spirit is catching on, there are many signs that young people are beginning to think more about the pros­ pects of their native State, community development projects are beginning to command more and more attention. Of immediate importance for business generally, Maine is be­ ing “ sold” to the rest of the world on a much wider scale than ever before, under the campaign leadership of Gov. Frederick G. Payne, honorary chairman. Maine can take pride that it has been the first State in the Country to put on such a “booster” movement. Many other States already are beginning to “ sit up and take notice”.

SUMMER, 1949 25 George Nelson Wins W.L.A.M. Contest

Not to be outdone by the current give-away programs on the national networks, John Gould, author, editor, and radio commentator on station WLAM, Lewiston, instigated a contest recently on his daily program that grew to pro­ portions that even amazed John. It seems that John had a rooster who played a bit part on the morning show and his listeners grew rather fond of the bird. The rooster died of old age, John claimed—and he replaced him with another sent in by Andy Christie, down in Kingston, N. H. This gentleman is one of the country’s largest poultry raisers, and he suggested to John that if he would ask for a name for this new rooster from his listening audience, he would present the winner with 100, day-old, “ Spizzerinktum” chicks. This was done and resulted in a response of over 40000 suggested names submitted. Not only did his listeners flood the mail with appropriate rooster names, but the merchants in and about Androscog­ gin and Kennebec Counties deluged him with prizes to go to the winner along with the prize Spizzerinktums. Over 50 were sent in. A committee of judges consisting of George Hunter, Freeport, Doc Rockwell, Southport, and Ray Hearn, Au­ burn, came up with a winner in George L. Nelson of Rich­ mond with his “ Fiddlehead”. Among the prizes sent to Mr. Nelson were: clothing, household furnishings, radio, garden tools and seed, over­ alls, paint, a cocker spaniel puppy, an airplane trip, a weekend vacation for two, foodstuffs, 100 chicks, poultry feed, chicken wire, alarm clock, and a book entitled “ How to Lose Your Shirt in the Poultry Business.”

SUMMER, 1949 31 Made In Maine

By W illiam A. Hatch

The Pine Cone deviates from its policy of presenting only Maine-Made products in this issue. We believe that any in­ dustry that creates jobs resulting in remuneration for workers is worthy of editorial recognition in our Made in Maine series.

The Atlas Plywood Corporation in Houlton is one of five of their plants in the State fabricating plywood from Maine logs. Located in Aroostook County, Atlas research engineers have turned to one of the many by-products of the potato industry to produce a potato starch adhesive that is used for a binder in securing the laminated sections of the finished plywood. The picture below shows Atlas workers nail­ ing supporting braces to a plywood container for one of the nation’s leading manufacturers of electric refrigerators. C. Owen Smith, (left), editor of The Maine Coast Fisherman has de­ veloped this unique newspaper, published in Belfast, into what is now considered “ the fisherman's Bible" by coastal fishermen and yachtsmen from Newfoundland to the Canal Zone. Going into its fourth year of publication, The Maine Coast Fisherman has done much for the pro­ motion of the Commercial Fisheries of Maine.

Haskell of the Gaynon-Haskell paint manufacturers of Auburn checks the consistency of a batch of their white paint on a Krebs Calibrated Stormer Viscosimeter before shipment in Gagnon- Haskell’s distinctive Maine labeled containers. Maine's place in the creative arts is recognized throughout the na­ tion. The Fosdick Advertising Corporation located in the twin cities of Lewiston-Auburn is a relative newcomer to this field in Maine and has installed a complete production line of offices, commercial artists and photographic studio to facilitate every phase of advertising work.

Lumber has been a staple of Maine's economy since the first settle­ ment. William Hathaway's long lumber mill in the heart of Columbia Falls is typical of many all over the State. Presque Isle Opens New Industrial

Five new modern industrial plants with an annual pay­ roll of over a quarter of a million dollars were added to the growing City of Presque Isle recently in dedication ceremonies at the Mapleton Road development.

The initiative and progres- sive spirit of the Presque Isle Chamber of Commerce and other civic groups and individuals that brought this project into reality were commended by Gov­ ernor Frederick G. Payne when he attended the open house celebration officially opening this new indus­ trial area. Here Governor Payne accepts a loaf of Aroostook Baking Com­ pany’s bread, fresh from the shining new ovens, from the plant manager, Mr. Donahue and Mrs. Donahue. The Sealtest plant was popular with the youngsters and grownups alike, with free ice cream and sodas to all from the ice cream bar set up for the occasion. Free gifts were given to visitors by the five plants during open house days to all who vis­ ited and inspected the mod­ em buildings and facili­ ties. Harry B. Hedrich as­ sists the receptionist at the U. J. Hedrich Company in registering names of the thousands of persons who toured these new plants during the five days they were opened to the public. Presque Isle’s ever-grow­ ing Main Street and ex­ panding industries stand as an example of what can be accomplished by a pro­ gressive community in helping to stabilize the economy of its citizens.

By George S. Graffam

The road crests the hill and then dips down, To enter the Maine coast fishing town; Spotted with floats to mark the lobsterman’s trap, The rock-walled harbor sits in its lap. Here it is safe from the force of the sea For five rugged islands hold it in their lee. In beauty and grace, ready-poised at their floats, Are both fishermen’s craft and summer-folk’s boats. Once they built ships here to breast the world’s waves Some of their captains fill distant graves. Now the smart modern cruisers slip off the ways Intended for pleasure on bright summer days. Here in the shadow of the pointed white steeple, Life has now changed for harbor-town people. But the sea is transfused in shore-dwelling blood And sways them with alternate ebb and flood. The boats they build will lift a proud bow, Whether harbor or ocean thev are called to plow. They’ll offer the world a full load of treasure Foreign cargo, shore dinner, a sail for pure pleasure.
