4 Th Newa-Review, Roieburg, ftre. Wed., June 21, 1950 Forests With Many Wild Beasts Few Hours' Drive From New York By DeWITT MacKENZIE . AP Foreign Affairs Analyst It ia an amazing thing, but true, that a lew hours' drive by auto from the skyscrapers of New York will bring one to endless forests where bear, moose, deer, wildcats and other animals abound and it's easy to get hopelessly lost unless you know the ways of the woods. I've just had another experience of this strange transformation, having made my annual , pilgri mage to the fishing grounds of Maine along the Canadian border. It's a wonderful adventure and one at which I never cease to marvel, for if you use you imagination as a magic carpet you can tansport yourself back to the' pioneering days of our forefathers. This year I visited two log-cabin camps for fishing and hunting, and in both of them "homestcading" was going forward. For these camps not only serve as business enterprises but during most of the year they are the homes of their RODEO SPECIALS at REDUCTIONS TO 50 on RECORDS POPULAR .

One At Grand Lake One of these was Jack Williams' "Pine Lodge" on Grand Lake, and the other was Pete Spencer's "Greenland Cove Camps" on neigh boring Fast Grand lake. Both these men have spent their lives in Maine's forests and on her lakes and streams. There's nothing they don't know about that great out doors. I first met Pete years ago when he was guide in a fishing camp on Moosehead lake. He used to entertain my young son and me by shooting pebbles out of the air with a .22 calibre rifle as we threw them up. He never missed. Pete also is adept at throwing knives and hatchets at targets, and gives exhibitions every winter at various sports shows. One stunt is to lie on his back, hold a rifle barrel between two toes of one foot while he pulls the trigger with the other foot and shoots flying disks out of the air. From this he gets CAR GOT A FEVER? OUT OUR WAY By J.

Wife Is Dead Shot Pete and his wife Betty, who also is a dead shot as well as a grand cook, started from scratch in hewing their camp out of the for est on the shore of the lake. Pete himself cut and peeled 'the logs which he is using to erect cabins with his own hands. It is pioneer ing of the American colonial type in many respects, but Pete is a Jack-of-all-trarles and in an amaz ingly short time has been able to create a camp and equip it with both necessities and comforts. Jack Williams' "Pine Lodge" camp also is a new venture for him, although he has run fishing and hunting camps elsewhere for years. He acquired his present camp as a going concern not long ago and now is in process of mak ing improvements. I found him and his two sturdy sons, John and Ron nie, finishing off a great stone fire place in a handsome new cabin. The three of them cut the trees for this building last winter and hauled the logs to the camp over the ice of the lake.

I asked the elder son, John, who is a graduate of the University of Maine, what career he intended to follow and he promptly replied that he wanted to be a guide. "I love that more than anything else," he said fervently. Ronnie, who is going to, the. University of Maine in another year, plans to be a conservation ist. And I'll bet these four pioneers always stick together. They are a close and affectionate corpoation one for all and all for one. So goes the story in Maine. These two "pioneering" families are by no means unique in that big state. And of course there are other parts of our country which boast similar areas where the city dweller can for a bit get back to the forest primeval. This America of ours is in truth a wonderful land. and discrimination, hunger, dis ease, ignorance, misery and des pair. "This calls for bold, imagina tive and generous measures measures that break radically with traditional policies governing the relations between the strong and the weak, the rich and the poor, between the technically advanced and technically backward peo ples," the group said. The "point four" program took its name from a policy speech by Point 4 Program Of President Has Educators' O. K. NEW YORK (TP) A group of the nation's top educators, in cluding Gen. Dwight D.

The group is the educational policies commission, an agency of the national education associa tion and the American association administrators. The commission said: "Aside from the organization of the peoples of the free world and the development of their economic and military strength, the first ele ment in such a strategy should be the removal of the conditions on which Communism and other forms of totalitarianism feed."
