Former Bath Man Has Dangerous Gift
Walter E. Chase Jr. of Augusta, formerly Bath safety director for Maine, cautions about an apparently loaded German incendiary bomb a service member brought home as a souvenir. Chase tested the weapon with a Maine State Guard expert, who burned his hand proving it was only partly loaded. Also noted is a federal tax hike raising liquor prices by 30 to 60 cents per fifth and small increases on wines.
