Be Careful On Canoe Trips Cautions Official
AUGUSTA AP Several canoe accidents have prompted the Fish and Game Department to warn against unskilled use of canoes. Nine people were involved in two accidents in the Moosehead Lake area, with no loss of life but hundreds of dollars in property damage. Warden Supervisor Wallace Barron of Bingham said many inexperienced canoeists use canoes too small for conditions and often overload. He noted several mishaps involved canoes 13 to 16 feet long, urging a minimum 20 feet and an experienced paddler. He warned about the Kennebec River stretch between Indian Pond and The Forks, a whitewater run that can tax an expert.

Robert H. Mottram of Tenants Harbor asked Gov. John H. Reed and the Executive Council for another sentence reduction arguing parole is punishment in itself.
