River An empty 1966 pulp truck,

driven by Ross Rolf of Brown­ville Jet. went out of control during a storm of heavy, wet snow last Thursday noon and left the highway just south of "Rhoda's Bridge" on outer Elm street in Milo.

Rec. Center Meeting A meeting of some 31 area people was held Monday night at the

Catholic Church in Brownville J ct. to start planning a recreation program for area teenagers. The meeting centered around set­ting up goals for the project. It was decided that the main purpose of such a group should be to develop an attitude in the youth that · they can do a great deal on their own to improve the social conditions of this area if they are only willing to try . Five stu­dents were chosen to nominate student leaders and eJect officers before the next scheduled meeting. Those chosen for this com­mittee were : Larry Dorion and Paul Larabee from Brownville. joyce Hur ly from LaGrange, and E llen Dean and Joel Cyr from Milo. It was further decided to construct a new Milo Town of Three Rivers s ign to replace the old one .

Miss Ann Winchester of the Maine Youth Corps of Augusta spoke on the poss ibilities of membership in this organization financial aid, and organizational stratagy. She stated that the youth ofthis area have a good organization planned already and that it stands a very good chance of being a big success. The other principal speakers at the meeting were Father Whitlock, Rev. Lee, Larry Dow and Bill Hogan.

Everyone' s invited to attend the next meeting, Wednesday, April15, at 7 :30p. m. at the Penquis Valley High School Cafe­teria. There will be speakers f rom Bradly, where they have a similar organization, and also Miss Winchester will be back to talk about the Maine Youth Corp. See you there.

The elements range from Precious metals like gold, silver and platinum (in t iny amounts for electrical contacts) to more plentiful copper, · iron and lead.

Most of the elements are not used in their pure states . If they were, parts of the phone would float away and others would be untalkative lumps .

Instead, the e lements are in chemical compounds -- such as the hydrogen and carbon that form the plasti.c housing of the phone . That's the formula for the basic black set .

HATHAWAY

REPORTS FROM CONGRESSMAN WILLIAM D. HATHAWAY CITIZEN ACTION CAN CLEAN UP DIRTY DETERGENTS

The concept of pollution strikes a responsive chord in nearly all Americans these days , and rightly so. For we have come to lea.rn that this earth of ours, its atmosphere and its inhab­itants, are in real jeopardy -- and all because of human mal­treatment of Nature's great bounty.

More often than not, however, our consideration of the por­blem centers on such big polluters as industry or the various levels of government. Only infrequently (if at aU) does it con­cernourown individual contributions to the probiem or the part we might play in overcoming it.

That there i.s a role -·- and a significant one -- for individual citizens in the f~ght against pollution was dramatically illus­trated recently when radio and TV personality Arthur Godfrey alerted mill ions of American housewives to the tremendous pol­lution potential. in simple household deterg-ents.

Mr.. Godfrey, as you may recall, made a widely- publicized, accusation of a major producer of house hold clea.nsers for leading him io believe that one of its products which he had beenrecommendingto the public was not a detergent and would not pollute water: He had been told the product was an enzyme, and that enzymes are non-pollutants.

Later, however, he learned that the product was not only a detergent, but that "it has more phosphate than any of the other detergents." And phosphates, he correctly pointed out, are one of the key nutrients that speed up the growth of harmful

. algae in lakes and rivers , ultimately choking outaH other marine life.

There are few people in this country who, under similar cir­cumstances, could exert a positive force in the national anti­pollution fight equal to the one generated by Mr. Godfrey. But thisfactshouldnotpreclude individual citizen action-- indeed, it should encourage it. :For Mr. Godfrey's outcry, by pointing upthepotential harm in every sinkful of dishes and every fam­ilywash, has suggested a means through which such action can be most effective. And Canada, our northern neighbor, has · pro-vided the method. ·

Canadian concern over phosphates in laundry dete rgents was recently ignited by a laboratory analysis of 24 leading brands made public by the Pollution Probe team of the University of Toronto. The team's report shv•··ed that some brands contain more than 40 percent phosphate and rated other brands by per­centage. I've been informed that copies are availabie by sending a stamped, self-addressed envelope to: Pollution Probe, Uni­versity of Toronto , .Toronto 181, Ont. , Canada .

Armed with this information, individual U.S. citizens could begin immediately to avoid the worst offenders among leading brands . Manufacturers will surely get the message.

:'\Ieantime, on the legislative front, your Congressman has joined a number of his House colleagues in expressing support for a bill designed to ban phosphates from all detergents by the middle of 1971. Taken together, yout· efforts and those of con­cerned members ofthe Congress can lead to a significant victory over pollution, and, at the same time, provide a useful model for citizen participation in this and other national issues.

Christians have beencalle:l to watch and pray and teach. Jesus Christ spoke many parables and was heard gladly by the common people . The leaders rejected him and turned from tne pure Word of God. The same is happening today. The more people are in­formed about the plan and purpose of God the more real Jesus Christ will be9ome to each person. ·

by Pastor Cockey

OUR COUNTRY IS IN TROUBLE It would be impossible to List all of the p.roblems we face in

this short article . The facts are listed over and over in our news . The rank and file of America seems to understand the churches are not showing ·the way be preaching the Word .of God.

The National Council. of Churches reports that their budgets have been cut for social action due to lack of funds; staffs have been reduced, and experiments iu new activism eliminated simply because funding is not available from the people of A-merica.

The National Council of Churches should realize the sil.ent majority is pl'otesting social action outside of the Word of God In a recent poll only 36% approved the church's involvement in such things as civil rights and anti-VietNam demonstrations.

In education, vandalism is costing as much as sp~?cia l. pro­grams. Broken windows will cost the major cities neariy a million for burned schools. Higher education is being taken over by revolutionary students while professors hide their heads and offer no solution to the demands of the revolution­aires .

Marriage rates are up, ages down; divorces up, and birth rates down.

Economically, we are headed for a dime dollar with tax in· creases and i.nflation to cover the usury paid on public money. With welfare budgets mounting and welfare programs becoming unmanageable, demands grow to new sources of revemte.

America is in trouble because our churches and clergy have not taught the whole Word of God fo1~ the governing ol tne nat10n as well as the salvation of the people . About 2, 500 years ago Exekiel looked at our dav. "Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and th~ city is fuL1 of violence. Destruction cometn; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none. Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumor shall be upon .rumour; then shall they seek a. vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients" (Ezk. 7:23-27)

We are in trouble today because people are seeking and looking for an answer from the cle!·gy but get none. God's law is not taught by many clergymen today. Most of them throw away to the problems of the nation. . .

Hosea describes our trouble about 100 years before Ezekiel. He speaks to us, "Hear the Word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controversv with the inhabitants of the lan:d, because there i.s no truth, n,o;. merch, nor knowledge of God in the land" (Hosea4:1). In verse 6 Hosea desc ribes the conditions that prevaii when knowledge of the Word of the Lord is lacking. My people are destroyed for lack of know­ledge; because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast for­gotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children." This last phrase in important. Our children and youth are suffering becausetheteuchers of God's Word have directed their thinking to the whole Word.

Lamentations 2:9 tell us, " .. . her prophets also find no vision from the Lord. "Proverbs 29:18 says, "\\'here there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.'' Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the .law, happy is he. " Every one that teaches and preaches the Word of God must know it and believe it. We cannotnoi throw any of it away. America is in trouble today for there is no vision of God's working in our midst.

i.bitnrially ~peaking There has been a great deal of controversy concerning the

letters and editorial comment that have appeared in the past two issues of The Town Crier.

We wish to make it very clear that we wholeheartedly support the efforts of responsible young people who are attempting to make plans for supplying themselves with some recreation ior this summer.

We must be careful to remember that you cannot lump all young people under one generalization. There are responsible teenagers as well as unruly, destructive ones . We adults should not confuse the two. - Wehavetoaltowthe youngsters to decide for themselves what they term recreation. It does no good to say, "in our youth we used to play cards, or go skating." How many of us parents are satisfied with the recreational outlets which our parents had?

We must also keep in mind that every four years we are faced with a whole new group of students. It i.s not fair to say that we shouldn1t help them get any recreation because six or seven yen.rs ago we helped with something and it was destroyed. We are not talking about the same people.

Teenagers should be smart enough not to condone all types of behavior simply because it was done by teenagers.

Let us who are adults support all responsible efforts of our young people to help themselves in providing some recreational facilities. Just because adults are now satisfied to sit at home and state at TV doesn'tmean that teenagers should be satisfied too.

We welcome all Open Letters and Letters t0 tbe Editor.

The opinions expressed in this colUmn are not necessarily those of the editors.

We feel that a newspaper should express the views of the people, however much we might agree or disagree with them.

We will not accept anymore unsigned letters for printing. If you do not wish your name signed to the lette1r when printed you may so have it, however, we will keep your signed copy on filE' in our office.

Dear Editor, I read the letters in last weeks Town Crier, and I felt that I

must write in answer to the letters that were published. In answer to the question that one of the adults asked, I don't

see that too many of the kids are taking dope from this area and if there are very many why don 1t the law enforcement do something about it instead of saying that they can 1t be all over the town at the same time that they should be somewhere else. And who evce wrote that letter why didn't they put their name at the end of the Jetter or are they ashamed to let the town know that they are trying to stop that recreation center from being started in this town.

Also who ever wrote that letter that said why don 1t . they tell their kids where they can go skating, skiing, and tobagoning instead of crying to the town jllst like they did and arc going to to until they can start to meet their kids half way .

Another thing il' they don1t want thei.r kids out drinking why do they give them money and cars, why don't they buckel down on them instead of crying to other people ttwell what am I going to

do, my son is out with this one and that one and he is constantly in trouble?"

Well don't blame the ones that they are out with, blame your self for giving them the money to go with and the car to haul the other kids a.roand in. You adults are putting the blame on others when you should stop and say, to your selves, tt.My son Ol' daughter doesn't have to take a drink if he doesn't want to; but he will as long as I don't try and he1p them in some way to get some recreation inhere for them." If more people would sit down and ask their kids what they like to do you may be able to help them in some way so that they won't do these things to dis-grace you and your family. ·

Most of you aduits just want your kids out of the house so that you can go somewhere or have poeple come over so that you can have a party and get as drunk as you possibly can yet you don 1t want your kids to go out and enjoy themselves at some decent place so you are trying to stop something that you don't really know about, don1t take my word for it ask your kids they will tell you the same thing in a different way.

You had places too, things to do yet you don1t want us to have a damn thing for ourselves . ·

Mostofyouadults don1t really know what dope and other things such as speed, horse and a few more varities of these things are, all you want is to have kids that you don1t understand, yet you put all of the blame on to them yet they didn't ask to be brought on this earth you brought him or her here and you en­joyed it too.

To put it in more simple words you don't want us to have any­thing that we can say we built out of nothing.

I can also say that I'm ashamed to put my name at the bottom of this letter because I don't have a guilty mind like others in this town have.

Dear Editor , -

Sincerely yours, Gerald King

The trouble with the adults of today they don1t seem to think the young people of this generation should have a place to go.

The way it looks to me you parents buy cars give them money to buy dope and beers, and you still say why should they have a place to go besides the ·Mill yard and on the back roads.

'When they say over television, uno you ·know where your son or daugher are, '1 what answer can you give? None, because if you did you wouldn't give them cars and money to get beer with.

I blame the older people more than I do the young people be­cause they don 1t ·seem to care as· long as their children are out from under their feet and they have their drinking partys and don't want to have their kids around to. see them.

U they had a youth ce!'lter people woulil know where their child­ren are.

Children should be taught right from wrong in their ~omes not out on the streets like it is now.

The Bible tells us to spare the rod and spoil the child. I do think if parents helped the boys and gir ~s could mal<e a

go of this center. · Thosewh~tryto destroy should be turned away. Hippies over

21 should be turned away because I believe they are not of any help to the younger boys and girls, My reason is that the Hippies that are over 21 are buying the Beer and Dope.

Sincerely Yours, An understand in!?: Adult

Dear .Madam, I am writing to you on a matter that concerns us all. The sub­

ject of Maine. There is a possibility that oil wells will be .Jo­cated off the coast of Maine. If t his should happen it \vill ruin ourcoastandtrees. The coast will be clattered with refineries and there is ahvays the danger of oil slicks . Now think, how many peopie depend on the sea for a living? As for our trees the smoke from the refineries will e\·entually kill them. Maine's economic life depends on these resources. The tourist industry will be ruined. The only wildlife will eventually be on reserves . . Who do you think will get the important .Jobs, Ol!t-of-staters .. And where does that leave us'? This isn't the only form of pol­lution, but it will become a large one if we allow it. Act now before it is too late. We can live in a world without pollution if everyone will help.

Please, ·help keep Maine the way it was meant to be, thank­you.

U OF M NEWS The University of Maine pulp

and Paper Foundation will maintain scholarships and grants for pulp and paper stu­dents at the University of Me. Orono, at full tuition in spite of a tuition increase by the uni­versity for the next college vear. - With this announcement John H. Heuer., pres ident of Fraser Companies, Ltd. chairman of the Foundation scholarship committee, also stated that the committee had voted to a­ward scholarsi}ips for the first time to pulp and paper students taking the two-year associate degree pulp and paper techno­logy program.

The proposed Foundation budget for scholarships and grants for 1970 is $85, 000. There are 83 full-tuition scho­larship and 20 fifth-year grant students this spring semester at UMO she are training to enter the pulp and paper and allied industries. The increase of $50 in-state and $350 out­of state tuition means an aadi­tiona\ cost to the Foundation of about $10,000 yearly.

At a joint 1'\ession of the Foun­dation curriculum and scholar­ship committees a decision made to offer for the first time full-tuition scholarships total:­ing$3, 600 to second-ye&.r stu­dents enrolled in the two-year pulp and pape-r technology pro­gram.

NATURE'S WAYS by Wayne Hanley

Perhaps you will pick up a bird book for the first time how little the alphbet has in­truded it:

One familiar with reference works would expect the bird list to begin, say, with the as­ure bunting and end with the zebra finch. Thus, it may be a mild shock to discover that the modern list begins with a crea­ture called "loon'' and ends \vith "snow bunting". Sandwiched between the two on North A­merican lists are some 600 other birds that have been en­tered randomly withour regard for the ABC's. Indeed, some would say that seceral · birds havewoundupwithpositions in the list that cannot be justified by either· sonon or simpleton.

While bird iists alw ys have been random in relation to the alphabet, they have not always been random in the same way. For instance, JohnJ. Audubon started off his "The Birds of America" with the "California vulture" (now known as the California condor) and ended it with the "piedbilled dob..: · chick (now the pied- billed grebe). Hewroteinthe1840's.

In 1927, E. H. Forbush began his "birds of Massachusetts · and the Other New England States" with Holboell's grebe (now the red- necked grebe) and signed off with the blue-bird. . .

Before Audubon, and between . him and Forbush, other au­thors used their own versions regarding the order in which various species of birds ap­peared in their volumes.

As you must have guessed by now, the birds themselves have had little to do with es­tablishing their rank. Men do it--and by an artificial sys­tem. In Audubon's day, it was catch-as-catch-can. It was an era of cataloguing withour any clear idea of where things ·nt in the cabinet,

After Audubon came Darwin and Wallace with their Theor­ies--now credited exclusively to Darwin-- regarding the or-

is rather complex in tis appli­cation, the ornithologists after Darwin attempted to list birds in an order that indicated how. far the birds had progressed from being snakes. The idea is based on the theory that snake$ and birds had a com= mon ancestry. .

In Forbush's day, experts accepted the grebe as being most snake-like among North American birds and the blue­bird as farthest removed from snakes. Today the loon moans at the bOttom of the deck and the snow bunti~g twitters . on top. •

Shuffling the deck a.nd turn­ing up new low and high cards is not as frivolous as it may seem to the uninitiated. The changes between Forbush and modern authors have involved a lot of new machinery that can analyze blood samples, detect minor chemical differ­ences and similarity in eggs. and even analyze into minute fractions the songs of birds. It also hav involved consider­able field work on. the behav­ior of species, a lo1;1g neglect­ed art that has found similar­ities between birds that other­wise appear quite different.
