MD.,O PUBLIC LIBRARY NEWSLETTER Three new novels of suspense are the subjects of our

newsletter this week. Never Pick Up Hitch-Hikers, by Ellis Peters: When a

stranger offers young William Banks a ride and then asks him to deliver a package, Banks agrees, unaware that he is about to become part of a sinister plot. How c011ld he know that the package contains a fire bomb, and what the stranger needs is Bank's dead body! ·

Three years earlier the little town of Braybourne's Re­gional Assurance Bank had been robbed of a quarter of a million pounds--the money had never been recoveredo Now a group of ruthless and determined men have uonverged on Braybourne to find the money, even if they have to klll to get it.

Never Pick Up Hitch-Hikers is a compelling and swiftly paced story by a master of suspense.

Put Out the Light Ls our second novel of suspense, written by Rae Foley: In spite of her bitterness at years of neglect, Constance Armstrong accepted her rich aunt Natalie's invita­tion to stay with her. Const ance knew nothing about Natalie-­not that she was a famous poet--or her recent marriage to a handsome young recluse, or why she had inherited all of her father's fortune.

Natalie was kind and generous now, as if she were trying to make amends for the past. Yet there were nagging ques­tions that Const:ince couldn't ignore. Why did Natalie's law­yer and Alice, her maid, want her to leave? Was Constance in errible danger?

Here ls an absorbing novel of romantic suspense; of mur­der that sprang from dark passions.

The library has "Where Helen Lies" by Rae Foley. Isabelle Holland, born In Switzerland, the daughter of an

American Foreign Service Officer, and educated in England and the United states has written several novels of suspense· books for the young people; and was a 1976 nominee for' National Book Award.

Grenelle is Isabelle Holland's new novel: First the dis-­appearance of. a rellgious relic of doubtful validity seemed so minor an event to cause the storm that swept Grenelle campus antl shook so many lives. But then came the anonymous letters with their mysterious portents and threats, the seemingly un­related disappearance and death of a small boy, and the arrival in the college town of a group of strange young people--pre­sumably students--wlio joined the swelling turmoil on the campus and added a disturbing element that had never been there before.

Then Susan Grenelle and her niece's lives were threat­ened-- an old evil, all the more terrifying for having been hid­den, was reaching out to her from the past.

A quickly paced and polished novel. LIBRARY HOURS: 2 - 5 & 6 - 9 Mon. Weds. Fri.

A LETTER FROM AN OLD FRIEND

As I sit here writing my heart is sad because not all of the youngsters but some of them are rude and mean to their elders. Oh me, as I am watching my life come to a close, like we all have to do, · '· I thank God for keeping me in ~, the shape I'm in. Also, for the many years I have worked with the younger generation, I have yet to meet one who has been rude or mean to me. You know, ,my dear friends, th ts life cycle lsn 't just for me. So don't fool with tt, make lt the way it was meant to be. Do unto others as you would like to have lt done unto you, Remember Ma and Pa, Grammy and Grampy, your loved ones, you love them and I'm sureyouwouldn't be mean or rude to them.

Report from Augusta from Rep. John E. Masterman, District 85

RIGHT OVER MIGHT Partisan wrangling diminished in the 108th Legislature

this week when Gordon F. Cunningham (R- New Gloucester) was finally allowed to take the District 29 House seat he won in the November election.

Democrat Michael Gibbs was conditionally seated at the start of the session. He had apparently won the seat when ballots were originally counted in the close race but a recount showed that Cunningham was the true winner.

Despite rulings by the House Election Committee, the blue-ribbon Commlsslonon Governmental Ethics and Campaign Practices, the Maine Supreme Court and the Secretary of State that Cunningham had lndee•l :;10n the seat, Gibbs for several weeks refused to step aside and was backed by the Democratic Majority in the House.

Last week House Minority Leader Linwood Palmer pro­posed. an order to seat Cunningham. · The motion was tabled until this week on a party-line vote.

Then on Wednesday (Feb. 16), faced with the prospect that enough Democrats were flnally willlng to vote to seat Cunning­ham, Gibbs voluntarily stepped aside.

Cunningham, at his own expense , has attended every Le­gislative day since the start of the session and is ready to take on a full work load.

Palmer and others said that Gibbs' action in stepping aside and the decision of a number of House Democrats to vote to seat Cunningham, "was the right thing to do and reduces the sharp partisan sentiments which had developed. "

Both Gibbs and Cunningham urged the Legislature to put the dispute behind them now and get about the many important decisions facing the lawmakers. 10 CLOSE OR NOT 10 CLOSE

The first step toward closing Bangor Mental Health In­stitute was taken this week but there is a long way to go and no certainty that the final decision will be to close the facility as Governor James·B, Longley has recommeµded.

A hearing before the Appropriations Committee saw only Mental Health and Corrections Commissioner George Zitnay speak in favor of the closing.

· Zitnay said that there wo•1ld be no savings during the first year of implementing the closing but that there would be a $600, OOO·saving during the second year.

Zltnay said the phase down of BMHI would allow his de­partment to concentrate more of its resources on community based mental health pl'ojects.

More than two dozen witnesses , mostly from the Bangor medical and political communitie.s , spoke against the closing.

They argued that the Augusta Mental Health Institute would not be able to adequately assume the additional work.

One argument was that there ls a lack of a strong medical community in Augusta which would hinder attempts to recruit tralned psychiatric workers at A h-IBI.

Opponents also argued that the loss of between 100 and 400 jobs in the Bangor area would be a severe blow to the com­munity's economy.

-

One opponent, Rep. John Korris (R-Brewer) has even _ threatened to introduce a bill ';o close the Augusta fac ility anq · transfer its functions to BMHI, just the opposite of the Gov-\_..;; ernor's proposal.

The way the issue is shaping up it may well take nearly the entire Legislative session to resolve. SUIT, SUIT AND MORE SUIT

Assistant U. s. Attorney General Peter R, Taft has re­commended that Malne's Indians and the State settle the In-= dians' suit to take acquisition of two- thirds of the state's land out of court.

Governor Longley and Attorney General Joseph Brennan have been arguing that the suit should be limited to a financial settlement and Taft's recommendation seemed to add some momentum to that effort.

Congressman William S. Cohen told the state Senate last week that success by the Indians in recovering the lands they seek would be enormously disruptive to the state and transform its economy and sociology almost beyond recognition. ENERGY AND DIBTY AIB

Senator Edmund S. Muskie told the Legislature's Natural Resources Committee this week that the energy crisis may do more to clean up the nation 's air than the pollution crisis has.

The Senator said that development should be controlled to limit the growth of motor vehicle traffic in heavily polluted areas.

Muskie, who is generally credited with being the father of the air and water pollution bureaucracies, said that he is now reluctant to seek new laws in the field because of potential harassment of businesses and consumers.

He said he is concerned that "every time a law is passed I may be unleashing a lot of little Hitlers around the :!ountry ·"

The Senator also applauded the state for making excell6. use of its federal water pollution funds.

THE TOWN CRIER February 24, 1977 .Page 5

~bill cohen FROM CONGRESS One of the landmark bills passed by Congress during the

United States' bicentennial year was the 200- mile limit law. That law, which is very familiar to most Maine citizens, es­tablished a 200-mile offshore fishing zone off the American coast, within which all foreign fishing would be carefully regu­lated.

Among its other provisions, the new law imposes fees on foreign nations for the privilege of fishing in the U. S. waters, and it limits foreign vessels to taking surplus fish not har­vested by American fishermen. The purpose of these require­ments was to safeguar d the precious American fishing grounds -- such as those in the Gulf of Maine - - from wanton over­harvesting for fore ign factory fleets .

in the National Park system. But this cutback has not saved the taxpayers a ·dime.

RemovLng the $100, 000 ceiling would not mean any new government expenditures. Since volunteers who work in the forest? are not paid, the sole cost of the program is admini.s­trative. Removing the spending limit would simply ·give the Forest Service t.he option of spending existing administration monies on the volunteer programs -- programs which give the taxpayer an excellent return. In 1975, for example, under the $100, 000 volunt.eer program, more than $1 million in work was done in the National Forests.

If the $100, 000 limit is removed, even more work can be done this summer in the 187 million acres of our nation's 146 National Forests. ! am a cosponsor of legislation to eliminate this arbitrary ceiling, legislation which has the support of both the Department of Agriculture and the Office of Management and Budget. I hope t he Congress will have the foresight to pass this legislation and eliminate a "money-saving measure" which really just wastes money and resources .

Claude N. Trask 3 Main Street, Milo Agency, Inc.

COME" IN AND SEE US FOR ALL YOUR INSURANCE NEEDS

The new law will go into effect March 1. But even before the measure takes effect, an unforseen loophole threatens to undermine many of its beneficial provisions. It now appears that foreign countries may be able to circumvent the registra­tion fees and catch limits of the new law by purchasing whole or partial interest in U. S. fishing corporations. Under the cover of these American firms , the foreign interests would be free , as before , to roam at will within our 200- mile zone. Should this in fact happen, fees earmarked ror fisheries man- • Y. 0 u r .Jn d ep en d en t Ag en t. agement progra ms would be drastically reduced ; and the catch limits set by the law would be rendered meaningless .

Foreign investment in the u. S. fishing industry is already - reaching significant proportions. In a recent study, the Com- '

....._,merce Departmentnoted thatforeign investments doubled from 1970 to 1974, with such investments increasing 30 per cent during 1974 alone. The Commerce Department concluded that the pr incipal reason for this sudden development was the im­pending extension of U. s. jurisdiction in its coastal waters.

Because of the seriousness of this situation, I have joined a number of my House .colleagues in supporting corrective legislation which we believe will ensure that foreign fishing fleets r emain under the control of the 200-mile limit law, as Congress originally intended. ·

Our bill simply states that any vessel in which foreign c~tizens hold an interest of 25 per cent or larger would be con­sidered "foreign" forpurposesof the 200- mile limit law. This would make all such vessels subject tothe same fees and quotas required of foreign fishing fleets. A second part of the bill would require the Secr etary of Commerce to undertake a board study of foreign investment in all aspects of the. fisheries in­dustry. This is intended to glve Congress the information it needs to develop sound policies in this area.

The legislation I am proposing ls not intended to discour­age fore ign investment in our fishing industry. Such invest­ment will still be profitable and beneficial. But this bill will ensure that s uch investment cannot be employed as a ruse to sidestep the 200- mile limit law, the intent of Congress, and the will of the American people.

SAVING TREES AND MONEY In its efforts to save money, Congress and the Federal

· government are often guilty of being "penny-wise and pound-foolish." ·

Under the provisions of the "Volunteers in the National L

1orest Act of 1972," for example, the U. S. Forest Service ls

--I'imited to spending $100, 000 annually for volunteer programs. Because of this provision, the Forest Service has been for the past three summers forced to restrict its volunteer programs

HOW IS YOUR DENTAL HEALTH? Do you know the average adult, who has not visited his Dentist during the past year is walking around with about 4 cavities in his mouth? They can not only cause much pain and unpleasant breath, but also endanger health because it may be more difficult to properly chew food.

MANY CHILDREN'S TEETH ARE NEGLECTED.

If the "Baby" or temporary teeth are not taken care of and prematurely lost, the permanent teeth may come in irregularly, often causing an unsightly appearance.

PYORRHEA IS CAUSING MUCH DISCOM­FORT.

About 44% of adults in their forties and about 80% of those past sixty suffer from its inflam­matory form called "Gingivitis."

DO NOT A VOID DENT AL CARE. Modern techniques and analgesics make visits to a Dentist almost a pleasure. Future pain and loss of teeth can be prevented. If you have not consulted a dentist within the past year be wise. Do it soon.

OUR DENTAL AIDS STOCKS ARE COMPLETE.

Ask your dentist to write the exact medication, tooth brushes or paste and antiseptics he judges best for you and we will be glad to supply his exact specifications.

BY SENATO~ WILLIAM D. HATHAWAY

SAVING MA INE'S SHOE INDUSTRY At the moment, the fate of Maine's shoe industry lies i

the hands of President Jimmy Carter. He must decide whethe to accept or reject the recent U. s. International Trade Com mission (ITC) recommendations on foreign shoe imports.

As a result, th i ITC recommended that tariff-rate quotas be imposed to relieve the injury. i~· ·
