(Continued From Third Page.) nificent coast line, wita its world renowned beaches, and inland its in- numerable .»tes and mountains. Late in June or early in July is an excellent time for a trip up into Maine, for this 1s the beginning of the Summer season, the hotels have just opened and the big crowds have not yet arrived. There are various routes from New York to Maine, following the arrival of | the Washington motorist by way of the | Lincoln Highway. The usual approach, | however, according to the Automobile Casco Bay. Both the Eastern and Western Promenades command marvel- ous views. Here in ellow are are the offices of the Maine State Pub- licity Bureau and all visitors to the State are welcome here. Information concerning _routes, resorts and the facilijies of the State in will be gladly furnished. Beyond Portiand. Beyond Portland, United States High- way No. 1 continues along the coast via | Rockland and Bangor on to Calais and the New Brunswick border. Rockland is the metropolis of the Penobscot Bay reglon, another of the State’s prominent Summer localities; while at Rockland Breakwater is an exquisite sea view, while from the ocean, looking toward the shore, the Camden Mountains rise up from the coast. There is a great deal of life here during the Summer season, | and all manner of outdoor sports are | available, ‘The last two of the noted Maine coast resorts, Bar Harbor, on Mount Desert Island, and Winter Harbor, across Frenchman’s Bay, may be reached by several routes. One is to ferry across from Prospect to Bucksport (a toll bridge is now under construction), then run to Ellsworth and down to Bar Har- bor. Another route is to continue up to Bangor and than down to Ellsworth, thus doing away with the ferry crossing. Club of America, is through Boston and along the New Hampshire coast and | across the Piscataqua River into Kit- tery. Motorists coming f om Man- hattan and the Bronx follow the Hutchinson River Parkway, then the Shore road through Bridgeport and New Haven, on to New London and then either up through Providence into Boston, or else across the Jamestown- Newport ferry and on the “The Hub” by way of Fall River and Taunton. From Long Island on the western end, motorists will find the new service from Port Washington over to the sound shore at New Rochelle useful, and from the eastern end there are the boats over to New London from Mon- tauk, Sag Harbor, Greenport and Orient Point. It also is possible to reach Maine by boat, sailing from New York to Portland and carrying your car with Many people like to do this as it saves time and thus gives an oppor- tunity for a longer visit in Maine. For_the people motoring all the way via Boston, this city makes an ideal first-night stop. Then the next morn- ing, either the Newburyport turnpike or the road running via the famous North Shore of Boston may be used to reach Newburyport. Crossing over into New Hampshire, an attractive route lies via Hampton and Rye Beaches into New- castle, and then on to Portsmouth and across the Piscataqua into Maine. The first part of the run in the Pine Tree State is through the region of the famous Maine beaches. First come the Yorks—York Village, York Harbor and York Beach. York Harbor is one | of the high-class Summer resorts of New England, There are many beauti- ful homes, attractive cottages and first- rate hotels. At this point the York River empties into the sea and forms & con- venlent and safe port of entry for yachts, yet in a few minutes’ time, by Winter Harbor may be reached by ferry from Bar Harbor across Frenchman's | Bay. or else by road by way of Elis- | worth, Hancock and West Goldsboro. { " "Bar Harbor, long rated as one of | the watering places of the world, is the | mecca each year for prominent families {of the country. The Shore walk, bor- | dered by handsome estates with beauti- ful gardens, is one of the show places of Bar Harbor, and the Ocean drive is another. Another feature of Mount Desert Island is Acadia National Park, the first national park east of the eral Government. There are guides and | trails, motor roads and camping sites | for visitors, and a wonderful combina- tion of beautiful lakes, high mountains and marvelous seacoast. Across the Bay | from Mount Desert Island, at the end of a peninsula jutting out into the ocean, is Winter Harbor, which also has a very active Summer season, ving excellent facilities for all outdoor sports. Inland Attractions. Inland lies Maine's famous lake and mountain region, her great hunting and fishing areas. One of the most noted is Moosehead Lake, & rare spot of natural beauty. The lake is 40 miles long, and | about’ midway is Kineo, on an arm of |land that extends out into the lake. With the lake on three sides and Mount Kineo rising to a height of 1,000 feet in the back, qu location is ideal. This charming vacation spot is reached by boat from Greenville, at the lower end of the lake. This year it is also possi- ble by the completion of the road from Jackman over to Rockwood to reach Kineo from the west side of the lake. It is then just three-quarters of a mile straight across the lake to Kineo. Another spot of interest which should not be missed by motorists on a trip to Malne is the town of Lakewood, which is just a little northwest of Skowhegan, canoe up river or by motor drives, one may be among the quiet woods and fields of the country. Beyond the Yorks lies Ogunquit. which is Natick Indian for “a beautiful place by the sea.” The region has been distinguished by the paintings of many famous artists. The town is famous for the smoothness of its beach and the picturesque sand dunes that border it like a minjature mountain These dunes stand guard over the river which comes from out the pine forest, rages over Moulton Falls and then glides quietly into the sea. Next come the Kennebunks and then Portland, the chief city of the State, located at the head of island-dotted on"the road running up to Solon, and {then onto Jackman and Quebec. In | this town there is a Summer theater ‘colony, where a stock company per- (ormkl. putting on a new show each week. And, of course, all motorists to Maine visit Poland Spring, the home of the | famous Poland water. This spring, | flowing out from the solid ledge at the {Lhe vicinity, is well worth a visit to the | State to see, with its wonderful setting of hills and valleys. It is of historical interest to know that the present Poland Spring House is located on the old homestead of Wentworth Ricker, and that the building comprising the north- And now ...

Ideal Way to Return. An ideal way to return from Maine is by way of the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The motorist who has first followed the coast line, then come back {by way of Moosehead, Lakewood and Poland Spring, will find an attractive route to New Hampshire lies by way of Paris and Bryant Pond up into the Androscoggin River Valley. Turn west here, runn! through the valley to Gorham. This town is located at the confiuence of the Androscoggin and Peabody Rivers, with the wonderful Pilot Range off to the northwest, and is one of the prominent resorts of the White Mountain region. Turn south here down into Pinkham Notch. At the Glen House the toll road up Mount Wash- ington leads off to the right of the main road. Along this road there is eight miles of gorgeous mountain scenery on the way up to the top of all New Eng- land. Here, from an altitude of 6,293 feet, the distant lakes and mountains of three States and Canada may be seen. After coming down the mountain the motorist should continue on down Pink- ham Notch through Jackson to Glen. Then turn right through Crawford Notch over to Bretton Woods, and then down into Franconia Notch, around Lake Winnepesaukee | Franklin to Lake Sunapee, over into the Connecticut River Valley, which may be followed south to New Haven and the shore road back to New York, and then on to Washington.
