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

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

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.

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.

of our country which boast similar

CLINTON, 111. W) On the night
of Feb. 5, 1943, an army plane
crashed on the John A. Gibson

killed.
Mrs. Gibson decided that they
should -not be forgotten. She put
up a homemade plaque bearing
their names at the scene of their
deaths. Each Fourth of July, Ar

she places five flags in a half cir
cle about the plaque and lays a
bouquet of flowers in the center.
