The Gardner Roberts Memorial Library Garden Program began on Wednesday, June 2, when young gardeners planted seeds, erected signs and made beanpoles. Some of the participants were Girl Scouts. After school closes they will regularly maintain the garden.

The Rumford Grange 115 met at the Rumford Center Grange Hall last Saturday for the monthly meeting. Next Sunday, June 13, the Grange will put on a public chicken dinner including the pies they are well known for. The meal will begin serving at noon and end at 1:30 p.m.

A Special Town Meeting will take place at the Hanover Town House, 12 Howard Pond Road, on Tuesday, June 15, for the purpose of accepting a new agreement with Oxford County Solid Waste Corporation. It is reported that the recycling service will not change but the old agreement is expiring and needs new approval.

`Jim Ray from Austin, Texas, and his grandson, Patrick, are staying at Triple J near Howard Pond.

Many of the summertime folks who come to the area each year have now arrived and are enjoying the rainy weather.

Gardner Roberts Memorial Library is available for use by those needing space for small meetings. According to Librarian Peg Susbury there is no charge for using the space. Donations are always welcomed. The plant sale sold all available plants last week. It is unknown if more plants are expected. Library handy-type person Bob Susbury has been preparing the space for the new heating system.

As anyone travels throughout the area they are sure to notice mountains most everywhere. By looking at maps they can even find out the names of the mountains. Some mountains appear to not have names. We are wondering if anyone knows the name of the mountainous terrain north of Rumford Point and Route 2. The series of peaks are over 1,400 feet in elevation and takes up much of area going toward Rumford Center and the Andover Road. Got any ideas? Please let us know.
