Ice and fox concerns roam through Bath Maine season
With only ten inches of ice on ponds Bath merchants worry about harvests and the upcoming season. Mill Pond Ice Co. shipped 3500 tons last year with 12 to 16 inch ice by January. Farmers await thicker ice, fearing a late cold snap or a too early sun may yield porous ice. Fox pelts rise since 1928 draw hunters to western Maine, while prices for mink decline and muskrat and beaver gain. Don Brennan of the Cincinnati Reds visited Rockland high school to present baseball and safety films with State Patrolman George Show.
