Morse lumber mill and historic Winnegance notes endure
In Winnegance Morse lumber mill has operated since before 1801 evolving from a tide mill to an electrically driven plant. The Parks house near the dam, built in 1291 for mill workers, marks local history alongside Jewell family roots in Meadowbrook and long service by Moses Jewell as a skilled joiner. The piece also covers Center school vacation, a poetry contest result with Small Point, and local social notes including Frederick Nies’s New York ties and recent visits by residents and visitors.

Peat Moss Bogs Spark Maine Industry Revival
In Maine a peat moss industry grows from a small bog operation. Joseph Kelley leads a growing venture, expanding Jonesport and Centerfield bogs into a commercial enterprise with new drains, a distributor in New York, and plans for a narrow gauge railway.
