Change in name could curb shoplifting says Judge Danton
Judge Nicholas Danton of Saco District Court weighs whether changing the term shoplifting to shopstealing would reflect intent and lead to stiffer penalties. He notes rising cases in Saco and nearby courts, with merchants pushing for sharper sanctions amid economic strain and court congestion. He recalls fining a woman seventy five dollars for a few slices of ham, saying the act showed intent and deserved punishment.

Camp Ellis Erosion To Get Corps Study
The U S Army Corps of Engineers will begin a feasibility study in early 1975 to see if it can assist Saco with beach erosion at Camp Ellis. It will pick the best control method, estimate costs and assess economic feasibility. A later detailed study could lead to erosion control devices if Saco funds its share and public ownership of the beach area is secured.
