WALKING STICK GOOWS j
TO BECOME HUGE TREE
FAIRFIELD, Me., May 10, (JP)—
Sixty-five years ago Increase Ken
dall thrust a willow stick he had
cut for a cane into the ground and
forgot it.'
That was back in the days when !
this town was known as Kendall’s >
Mills and saw mills were its chief I
industry. The willow stick took j
root and today has grown to a |
tree which is 24 feet in circumfer- j
ence near its base.
George Warner, new Valdez post
master, is now on the job having
assumed the position a week ago.
High-brows get the publicity, j
but the country still is safe in |
the hands of people who enjoy j
the comic section and eat break- j
fast in the kitchen.
