came to mind again the other

lining up a professional aston-
isher, Truly, it is a big time.
No doubt the success of this
gave the lobstermen an idea, for
a dozen years .ago they Started
their "Seafood Festival," which
is dedicated to the gastronomic
exterinination of the Maine lob-
ster. A crane lifts tons, of these

nebody needs to go away hun-

strous -picnics are 'over Or

ed them will have to wait until-
1960.)
This year, after a preliminary
tryout last year, a new one
burst upon the olfactory scene
-a Baked; Bean Festival up in

at South' Paris. Deep bean-holes

established as one of Maine's

.So, you can see why I-refleate
ed on our old Merchants' Pic-
de. I think somehow ours was
a far more ,wonderful outing',
one reason being that there• was
•no cashier at the head of the
line. It 'was 'free. The town's

At last the Committee that sets

made it nieve for which Bible
students have been agitating for
some time. Instead of jumping
from one book to another, Sun-

six months. We shall take tsp.
proximately one, chapter a week.
This should prove a great incen-
tive to Bible Study.
The Book of Acts tells the
story of the early years- of the
Christian Church: Luke, the
author, addresses this book to
Theophilus even as he does his
record of Jesus' life and - minis-
try. Theophilus, means 'beloved
of God'. He may have been a
Roman officer.
Luke describes the ascensiost
of Jesus. He also gives the im-
portant prediction given by the
men in white apparel, that, 'This
same' -Jesus, which is taken slip
from you into heaven, shall se
come in like manner as ye have
seen him go into heaven.' In' this
space age we do not under.
stand the''how' of it all, but' we
know that Jesus is going, to re-
turn and we shall see him. - -

people, so only the babes, in

maimed were home-table fare..
Besides the, 3,006 to 4,000 lob-
sters Piled up. (you didn't think
we just ate one, did you?) there
would be ample clams. I used to,
dig clams now 'and, then, arid
got as much as a dollar a bar-
rel for them. A dollar was high.
Today you can dr6p $3,50 or
$4.00 a peck for clams, and it's
a good thing the steelworkers
haven't heard What a clam dig-
ger makes.
But pollution was scarcer
then; the gress hadn't invaded,
the flats; and easy shiPping'

town was jealous of its • own
