History of Brownville In commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the .incorpor­

ation of the Town of Brownville, the Town Crier has received permission from the authors and their heirs to serialize the · History of Brownville written in 1924 by Judson and Henry Ger­r ish, The following is the first short excerpt.

Much of the history of Brownville prior to the. beginning of the nineteenth century is unknown. From Loring's "History of Pisrataquis Cow1ty" we learn that Brownville was Number 5, Han go 8, with an area of 21,320 acres. This is one of a range of townships r un out by Samuel Weston in 1794. On account of its fine forests and many streams favorable for log-driving, land buyers soon floc ked thither. One of these , Samuel Fowler, bought the entire range in 1795 fo r 2964 pounds, under the,con­clition that he would have forty families settled on it within 8 ~·ears, He was unable to pay the price agreed upon and the land reverted to the state. The next purchaser was Joseph .Blake who employed Park Holland to lot out the land in 1803, Mr. Holland did his own surveying in 19,05 and, as a result of his \vork, the .Messrs, Drown and Hills bought the land and commenced its set· tlement. Cont'd next issue.

REPORT FROM

CAPITOL HILL

BY SENATOR WILLIAM D. HATHAWAY

Between now and July 4, 1976 -- the 200th anniversary of our independence -- there are going to be numero•1s assessments of our progress as a nation over the past two centuries. I think these are appropriate and will prove beneficial. In particular, I think it is very appropriate for each of us to reassess ho\if well our system of gover'lrne.:_t enables us to deal effecti.vely with the problems we encounter , as individuals and collective­ly as a nation.

Right now we are facing some serious problems, problems which our governmental system seems unable to address ade­quately.

First, and I belleve of utmost importance , is the problem of fragme11ted authority. Without clear lines of responsibility and authority, the . government is precluded from acting as a unit in all but the most unusual circumstances. Instead of coherent national policy in the face of seriot;.s national needs, we get, at best, policy strongly influenced by special interests, regional interests, and a non- productive rivalr y between the executive and legislative branches, At worst, we get_ no policy at all.

A second problem is.the lack of accountability for what deci­sions are made. If responsibility is unclear , then holding some­one to account when things don't work is almost impossible. !\o wonder the voters are frustrated and becoming alienated: they elect new candidates in an effort to "throw the rascals out" but nothing much changes and things continue to go down hill, Meanwhile , Congress, the President, and the heads of the va­rious government agencies spend much of their time blaming eachother for what is actually a collective fa ilure. Of course, compounding the difficulty of determining responsibility of detel'­mining responsibility are the widespread practices of official

-secrecy, and the invocation of the doctrines of "national secu­rity" and executive privilege."

But there are similar problems beyond these well-publicized and high level efforts to frustrate accountability. I refer to the difficulty an ordinary citlzen has in finding out exactly who has the power to make a specific decision affecting his life and then infindi~ out what was the basis for the decision in question. This pr-oblem is rarely the result of anything so majestic as

."executive privilege", but is usually simply a case of bureau­cratic fuzziness. Perhaps this is just in the nature of any large organization, but I'm convinced that increased accountability at the top , with Cabinet members responsible to someone be­side just the President, would have a posit.ive influence all the way down.

I should conclude my comments on these problems with the ob­servation that they are not entirely the making of otee Richard M, Ki.xon. They stem, instead, from evolutionary changes which have taken place in our government in response to the pressures and needs of 20th Century life in a country of over 200 million people. Even the most outspoken critics of the present admini­stration concede that its actions are consistent with a pattern which has been developing since the turn of the century. And it is this pattern, these fundamental changes in the way our gp­vernment actually works, that should concern us as we approach our bicentennial celebration.

The problems I have mentioned are serious ones which will not be solved by the removal of the President (or .the present Members of Congress) . Thus, the question of necessary changes in the present structure must be faced. And when such change is contemplated, a basic decision is in order on whether to tinker with existing institutions or make more radical alterations in

institutional relationships themselves. While I reel that short-term improvements are certainly in

order , l believe it is also time to begin a public re-examina­tion of some of the premises upon wl>ich our system is based with an eye toward more far reaching change.

One way to obtain a thorough re- examination of the syste1 would be to call a new Constitutional Convention. I advance this proposal because of a profound conviction that many of the struc­tures, institutions, and relationships which have evolved from the Constttution into our present system of government are in­sufficient to meet the demands placed upon them by a modern nation of 200 million people. Coupled with this is a second con­viction that the people are capable of correcting deficiencies without damaging the essential fabric of the Constitution.

Another alternative , somewhat less far-reaching , would be to amend the Constitution with a more effective structure as a goal. In this regard , I think we should give serious considera­tion to moving toward a system of government more parliament­ary in form, a system under which the chief executive and the members of his cabinet are also members of the legislature and derive their authority from the legislative majority. The members of the legislature are elected by the people on their o\vn merits . but also on the basis of their public support for an identifiable government program. If the program proves unsat­isfactory to the people, a new government can be elected with some assurance that a new approach will ensue.

Whatever the structure or form, I think it is very impo:rt~t that we keep in mind that we will only get the quality of govern­ment we deserve, anc the quality of government depends, in the last analysis, on the quality of our individual participation in it.

bill cohen FROM CONGRESS

One of the most important but least understood functions of a Congressional office is what we call "casework". In simplest terms this means helping constituents solve their problems with various government agencies, or occasionally private firms.

I thought I would take this opportunity to point out that I am willing to help in such cases whenever I can.

Let me emphasize at t he outset that neither I nor any member of my staff will ever try to exert any kind of unfair influence. The first step I take, when I receive a constituent complaint is to see if the complaint has 2ny validity.

Often I find that it does. And, in that case, I do my best to help out, either by contacting the involved agency or by suggest­ing other ways the constituent might seek satisfaction. In all frankness, I would have to say that a call from a Congressional office is often more effective with the Federal bureaucracy than contact made by an individual citizen,

Let me offer some examples of the kind of casework my office is able to do,

Last year a man from Lincoln,· l\Iaine, wrote to say that he was entitled to a veteran's disability pension. He bad informed the Veteranl>' Administration more than a year earlier, but it has t aken no action. I contacted the appropriate officials and they agreed that the man was entitled to a monthly pension of $154, He is now receiving it.

My office has helped a Lewiston woman ::;ecure a marker for her son's grave. He was entitled to it as a veteran, but progres" had been painfully slow until my office expressed interest the case.

Milo Recreation News & Bulletin Board MILO'S ALL STARS PLAY FIRST GAMF. AT DOVER

Tuesday, July 2nd, Milo's Little League All Stars , coached "--"' by Recreation Director Steven Pratt, won their first game of

the 1974 season. Despite ten strike- outs by Dover's Pitcher, Williams, l'l'lilo players got the first nm of the game as Rex Webb and David Strout sacrificed to get bas(• numcr ;\lark A­walt hane in the fourth inning. Pass balls and a 1\'ild pitch by Williams scored two more Milo runs in the fifth inning and fi­nally in the seventh inning, an overthro\1' by Dover's third base­man allowed the fourth and final lVIilo run to score. Dover's players picked up one run in the fourth and ti\'O in t 1e seventh, but were unable to tie the game or go ahead in a very contro­versial last ilming of play. With two out and tim men on and the score 4- 3 (Milo) Do\•er's substitute pitcher , R, ;\TCLeish, ticked the ball off the bat in front of home plate 11·here 1\Iilo's catcher, Rex Webb, picked it up and tagged the batter out. Leading hitters for the game were David Carey (2), Scot Lar­son (1), Marl< Awalt (1) and Steve Sherburne (1). The most spec­tacular play of the game came in the first im1in!! when Milo's center-fieldman , Clayton Preble, pi >l·cd up the ball and threw the rurU1er out at the plate. Persons interested Ln attending games or providing t~·ansportation for the all star players s_hould consult the game schedules posted in thl Laundromat wmdow in Milo.

While the Little League All Stars wc1·c playing their game in Dover, Milo's All Star Pee l;l,7ec team lost t heir first game of the season 12-4 against Dover, Coad1 [()r the Pee Wee game, Doug Cummings, had no comment, but the players said, ''We '11 get them next time." GIRLS' SOFTBALL

July 11, 1974 THE T.OWN CRIER

Marathon. Debt Smith followed suit for the woman's dlvts1on as she broke the ribbon marking her sprint from Grant's Ser­vice Station in Brownville to Elm Street in Milo. Following the marathon, Recreation Director Steven Pratt started tl'ie field events with a bang as he paid his quarter and took three swings at the word "Wife" (at his wife's suggestion of course) painted in black on the white 1965 Rambler donated for the purpose, by Ivan Damon of Milo. Eager to prove their strength or vent their frustrations, passers-by the s"mash-a-Car paid quarters off and

. on all day just to get swipes at such words as "Taxes," "Tea­cher," "School," and "Employer. " Foul Shooting contests, horseshoes, apple-bobbing,. three-legged, sack and \vheelbar­row races and the 100 Yard Dash· highlighted the morning's field activities. Between contests, spectators and participants alike sipped soda, nibbled hot dogs and crunched chips from the con­cession stand set up and run by The Explorers for the day.

At 12:30 the softball game featured as "The Battle of the Sexes" got underway inside the fence at the ball park. Merle Harris' team, The Barrell Head Tavern, blitzed the .game from Debi Sinith's All-Stars despite obvious handicaps: ba~ing cross­handed and doffing either glove or shoes. The final score was 28-5. Following the softball game, the crowd moved into the open field where cor..testants lay on their stomachs, hands be­hind their backs, ready to gobble the blueberry pies aligned in frontof.them. Little Chuckie Stevens and his partner got off to a fine start displaying blueberries from eyebrow to chin, but fizzled out toward the end as Lorinda Canney-·& Rhonda Tyler Won the Pie-Eating Contest for the five to eleven year olas.

Mid-way through the· Pie-Eating Contest, Franz Carver and Cliff Webb got into the action as they fended off ball after ball kicked to them by contestants trying to score points in the Goalie Contest. High scorer for the day was Recreation Director Steven Pratt who kicked the ball nine times out of ten into the net past Goalie Franz Carver, Mr. Pratt declined first place, nowever,

· saying, "After supervising events all day, I just had to get into the action somewhere. It was just for fun,"

Four dozen raw eggs decorated the Elm Street field ~fter some ninety-six contestants failed to keep an egg unbroken as it got tossed back and forth between partners. Following the Egg Throwing Contest, people lined up around the fence to watch the biggest event of the day - The Greased Pig Contest. To the dismay of all, the pigs proved to be too small and the contestants tooeagerandtheeventnever really took place. There was none of the anticipated chase and people left the field murmuring, "Poor Pigs, they never had a chance." Somewhat discouraged but not without humor • Recreation Director Steven Pratt was )leardtosay, "Greased pigs are a slippery business. One can't predictwhatpigsorpeople will do in a situation like this, What Is it they say? Live and Learn." Unfrazzled by fallen hopes of catching the greaf.led pig, and despite the rain which picked up during the pig contest, youngsters stayed behind to pull theil1 weight in the final event of the day- Tug-Q-War.

Casework can also involve more than just an individual or fa­mily. Earlier this year two large paper companies were faced with shutdowns of their plants in Maine because the Canadian

\government was reluctant to approve a permit which was nec­Jessary for them to import the fuel needed to fire the papermak­

ing machinery. However, inquiries made by my office and those of other members of Maine's Congressional delegation led out State Department to intercede with the Canadian government, ll'hich subsequently released the needed fuel. This was a "case" that prevented the unemployment of literally thousands of Maine citizens.

Although the majority of the casework which reaches my of­fice in~olves military and Social Security questions, the range of subJects brought to my attention spans the gamut of human problems.

Because of the importru1ce I attach to case1vork, two >taff members in my Washington office work full-time on consti­tuent problems. In addition, all of my staff member s in my three offices in the Second District devote a substantial por tion of their time to casework.

Obviously, no Congressman can promise to get the des ired re­sults in every case, But I do pledge that any constit uent who contacts my office will get a fair hearing.

t:etter..,

We welcome all Or;en Letters and Lette.cs to the Editor. \

'-ro the Editor: The letter of John Pau.l, in your July 4 issue , points up very

strongly how touchy and emotion-filled the hospital issue has become; to what a degree it has raised its ugly head to come between friends; and how important it is that t he issue be re­solved as quickly as it can be done in the town's best interest.

Tothe best of my knowledge, contrary to Jack's dire conclu­sion, NO ONE wants to close the Milo Community Hospital. The'hospital will close, soon or later, certainly, because it is old, it is a fire-hazard; and it has thereby lost t he respect of Medicare, on whose payments it relies to keep even moderately the black.

When the hospital board closes it, soon or later , therefore, the action will be only a necessary formality, and NOT the glad step Jack seems to see in the minds of the newly- appointed trustees.

The issue is NOT the Milo Community Hospital, but WHAT IS TO SUCCEED IT. And that is a horse of a quite different color. For the town can neither afford to build, nor has it the expertise to operate efficiently and economically, an expensive hospital or, for that matter, a nt'1'Sing home, the latter of which we DO need, and should have- if we can persuade someone to build it and operate it as a private enterprise.

The immediate duty of the local hospital board, as I see it, is toesta.blishfriendlycommunications with the HAD 4 directors, assure ours~lves that due provis ion for a health delivery sys ... tern forM ilo is still in the planning , and then ask the town for a second vote on entering HAD 4.

As for Jack's closing blast- that any board member who can­not "work for the establishment and maintenance of the Milo 'ommunity Hospital should resign" - all I can say is "Come

'-..._.,i{ow, my friend, such an emotional outburst is unworthy of a man of your abUity. "

TO THE ED ITORS:

We wish to ans11er the letter t o the editor v1ritten by John Paul, Chairman of the group calling themselves Friends of Milo Community Hospital, which appeared 1n your July 4, 1974, issue,

Mr. Paul's first question was: '~hy are the selectmen of the Town of Milo so anxious to close the Milo Colllllunity Hospital?" In answer to this we I·Jish to point out that we do NOT wish to have the Milo Com­munity Hospital close until there is a f acility built in Milo to replace it. We be I ieve that it is inevlt­ab le that the present hospi1al wi 11 be closed in the near future by the refusal of the Federal Government to provide Medicare payments. We fee l , however, t1at ourr best c hance to keep the hosp ita I open unt i I v1e have a new faci l ity is to join n 1e hosp •ta l d •sir •ct To support our statement tt1at we wis h the hr,;,;p ita I to rema in ope n we wish to quote from our l et ·t er of June 28, 1974, to Sa ndy Cran k , Re gi o.nal Re pr esentat 1ve of the Bu r eau o f Hea l th Insurance (Medicare), v1h o has, since our l ett~r v1 as st<nl_, IJ,,, ; ,t ~ed Lht2 re'j•Jt'o;t of the Mi Jo Community Hospita l for a 60- day extens i on of M~:d­icare payment s :

Our letter stated: " I n no way does the Board of Se l ectmen i ntend to

separate itself from the hospital situation. The Board is vitally interested in seeing that proper health care is maintained in Milo . The Board believes that Milo should, as soon as possible, join H. A.D . 4 and hopes the citizens wi II so vote in a new referendum . We wish to have the-Milo Colllllunity Hospital remain open 'until the new H.A.D. - 4 hospital is built, and also unti 1 a new medical faci I ity is bui It in Milo as a part of the H.A . D. 4 bui !ding program to supp_lc:men~ the care to be afforded by the main H.A . D. 4 hosp i tal.

It seems to us that th i s spea ks c lear ly i~ show­ing the~t the Se l ectmen wish t o keep t he Mi l o Colllllunity Hospital open . I t is a d i sapp ointment t hat Mr. Pau l distorted the facts in h i s quest ion. Cert a in l y t here is a l ready eno ugh di ssens i on without add ing to i t wi t h such untrue a I I e gat ions ,

Mr. Pau l 's secon d questi on was! "Why wo u ld the se l ectmen depart fr om past pr actice and appoint t wo new trustees to t he Boar d of the Milo Community Hos­pita l who are avowed opponents of t he hosp i ta l ?" We wou l d like to explain why we appo i nt ed two new trus­tees. First, three terms had expired : Dr . Curtis, Paul Foulkes, and Jane Prescott, A I I three had served well and responsibly . We appointed L loyd Treworgy to replace Dr. · curtis, who is frequently out of town and unable to attend meetings of the Board. We appointed P~uline Ireland to replace Paul Foulkes, who is from Williamsburg. We feit that the questions regarding replacing the hospital with a·new town- bui It hospital and the possible necessity of the Town of Milo having to put money into the hospital to cover hospital de­ficits, as we did at least once before, ~ade it desir­able for us to appo int a member from M1lo to rep l ace Mr. Foulkes . Je~ne Prescott we wanted to stay on. We feel that we have appointed respon s ible people, as it is our duty to do. Wou l d the Fri ends of Mil o Commun i ty Hospital suggest otherwise?

Regarding the suggestion that the new members are opponents of the hospital, we say that they are not, but rather that they are advoca tes of good health care f or the people in the area pre sent ly served bythe Mi lo Community Hosp ital . FurH1er , we be l ieve that their views wi II be valuable to the Hospital Board and to the Town in deciding wh at act ion to take to replace the present hospit al .

MILO JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES ORDAINED Jeffrey Demers, Esteile Guild, Gladyes Wright and Dorothy

Larson of Milo , were among the 116 ordained as new ministers in Farmington Sunday. The occasion was part of a convention of Jehovah's Witnesses at Mt. Blue High School. Delegates and their families came from all of northeartern Maine.

According to information available from the Milo congrega­tion, Witnesses ordain by baptism. Their total water immersion symbolizes, in their belief, "a request made to God for a good conscience, "based on words at 1 Peter 3:21 , and imitates the method of Jesus Christ's baptism, dexcribed in Gospel ac­counts.

The 116 new ministers helped comprise an audience of 2, 083 who, through the course of the two- day convention concentrated on twelve hours of instruction in the Bible and its meaning.

Jehc •ah 's Witnesses , who make an effort to pattern all their activities after Bible models , refer to gatherings of pre-Chrls­tlon Israelites as prototypes of assemblies for religious in­struction.

One passage from the eight chapter of Nehemiah related that "All the people proceeded to gather themselves as one man at the Square ••• " When Ezra the priest read from the Law of God "fromdaybreaktillnoon," he spoke not just to representa­tives - only the men , for instance, but, "before the congrega­tion of men, as well as of women and of all intelligent enough to listen."

Atthls·moment, as many observers see world troubles asap­parent fulfillment of c.rucial BLble prophecies, accurate know­ledge seems to Witnesses especially necessary.

Jehovah's Witnesses, both here and in their more than 27,000 congregations abroad, find this type of gathering practical for mass Bible instruction. In fact, many Maine congregations may require adjustments in their own meeting schedules for one more week while they attend a larger, New England regional convention in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.

Darrell Brewer of Sebec has information about the temporary meetingagendaprlorto resumption of full local · activity. Tele­phone 564-7680 for complete details about the Bible Study sche­dule at Milo's Kingdom Hall.

"Mr. Smith 1 s wife?" (gullible tourist type) • "Ayuh, They had a fight last fall and old Bertha packed up her

favo.rite rocker .one Sunday and moved out behind Pio:kett's gas statwn to do a httle peaceful fishin'. Well, outa spite ohl Ke~· neglected to tell her that cold weather was settin' in. Snowm b~le _club replaced her fi'sh pole with a slalom flag. Old Ken ~~ r1~pmg that they didn't even offer paying a little rent. They said no one pays taxes on nat'nr.l monuments."

"What was that?" (slightly subdued smart aleck tourist) . "Well~ ~~z , old widow Barker let her moose out again- you JUst watt t1l he tangles with old man Porter's bear. Ain't he ~~n mean lately? Been almost as ugly as the old man. "

W~ll, woul?n't you be·? Some funny lookin' hippie type come up th other mght and stole all the old bear's Elvis Presley re-:!Ords." ·

"Hey, did you hear about old Earle Brown's daughter- the muscle bound one? She's in that Women's Rib movement!- so the boys down to Joe's gave her a key to the men's room.

Fred s scrawny old knees perched on that stool that made her con;e down off her high horse. He flet down right rotten about lo,~mg that beer, tho. I hear she wants to be a nun now."

A yuh, young feller, sometlmes even the light on the pepsi machine in front of Casey's barbershop goes out. Sometimes. "

"Well, I guess I'll be see in' ya, Bill - got to head back up and stoke up the ol' stove . She was just a jumpin' cherry red when I left but I s'pose she's cooled down a. mite by now .. Like I told t~~ old lady - nobody can keep up a hot streak forever." -

OK. Must be late - even the blaclrllies have left the refreV m,~nt stand. Don't take It too hard young fella. "

Sorry I asked." (unusually quiet tourist-type).

History of Brownville In commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the incorpor­

ation of the Town of Brownville, the Town Crier has received permission from the authors and their heirs to serialize the · History of Brownville written in 1924 by Judson and Henry Ger­rish. The following is the first short excerpt.

Mul'h of the history of Brownville prior to the. beginning of the nineteenth century is unknown. From Loring's "History of Pis(•ataquis County" we learn that Brownville was Number 5, Range 8, with an area of 21 ,320 acres •. This is one of a range of to\\'nships run out by Samuel Weston in 1794. On account of its fine forests and many streams favorable for log- driving, land buvers soon flocked thither. One of these, Samuel Fowler, bought the entire range in 1795. for 2964 pounds, under the ,con­dition that he would have forty families settled on it within 8 ~·ears, He was unable to pay the price agreed upon and the land reverted to the state. The next purchaser was Joseph .Blake who employed Park Holland to lot out the land in 1803. Mr. Holland did his own surveying in 19.05 and, as a result of his work, the Messrs. Drown and Hills bought the land and commenced its set-tlement. Cont'd next issue. ·
