A list of twenty-four toasts, with the names of the speakers who proposed each of them, included every sort of subject from "The Memory of George Washington" through "The Minority in the Legislature in Maine" to "The American Fair: while their smiles are the solace of our lives, may their virtue constitute an unerring check to every vice".
If any of the celebrants had gauged their capacities to a mere twenty-four toasts there was a surprise in store for them. Further toasts were proposed by Mr. Thomas Junkins, Mr. Micum

The reporter saw fit to close his account with "and no accident happened to mar the pleasures of the day".
Four years later, in 1833, when a visit to York by President Jackson himself was expected, it was voted in a special town meeting that a committee of citizens be chosen to receive "the President and suit" with all due decorum. The committee, com- posed of George Moody, Charles O. Emerson, Jeremiah McIntire, Howard Moody, Alexander McIntire, Jeremiah S. Putnam, Edgar McIntire, Luther Junkins, and Jeremiah Brooks, included only a few of those who had been prominent in the Scotland party of 1829. President Jackson, however, failed to arrive in York.
In later years political events such as elections of presidents or governors were celebrated by torchlight processions and the decoration of houses with flags and bunting. In the diary of Samuel W. Junkins is described a "mass meeting" of Republicans on September 4, 1896, just before election day, held in Moody's Grove on the old John Banks farm near Long Sands, which, pre- ceded by a clambake on the beach in front of Hotel Bartlett, drew an audience of five thousand persons to hear the speeches of Honorable Thomas B. Reed and General Bussey.
Activities of the churches also provided social gatherings. Some were planned for fund-raising purposes, such as fairs, ba- zaars, strawberry festivals; some were educational as well as en- tertaining, such as Chautauqua lectures, concerts, theatricals. Then, too, there were purely social events, such as quilting parties and sewing circles. Family letters written about 1890 tell of the gatherings of ladies for afternoons of sewing, followed at about the time it became too dark to sew by the arrival of husbands to enjoy the supper and a social hour with the playing of games. A game called "Clumps" is sometimes mentioned, but how it was played remains a mystery.
To Samuel W. Junkins the town is indebted for much of the history of the development of York into a summer resort. Samuel Washington Junkins (1849-1929) apparently kept diaries from 1888 to 1927, but not all of them are at present available. For at least twenty-five of those years he was the most active surveyor in York, including also in his affairs the writing of deeds and wills and the placing of mortgages. Though not a trained

Life in York
lawyer he was relied upon to find the answers to all sorts of problems, both commercial and domestic. Consequently no other man knew as much as he about York events during the years from 1888 to about 1913. Therefore no other source is more reliable than these diaries, and indeed for some of the events there is no other written or printed account available. It is to be regretted that he did not record fuller details together with personal observations and opinions. Few people who had lived during those years were still alive when the little books came to light in 1957, and there- fore much interesting additional data has been lost.
The first public amusement device was a promotion by John E. Staples who lived on Lindsay Road. In 1889, with the counsel of Samuel W. Junkins, he incorporated the Marine Car Company which operated at the Concordville end of the York Beach Short Sands. This "marine car", perhaps invented by Staples himself, was a two-deck frame with benches on the top deck, seating about thirty passengers, and carrying a dory on the lower level for emergencies. The car was run on rails by gravity from the top of a wooden incline. Attached to the stern was a cable which would allow the craft to run a considerable distance out on the sea, after which it was hauled back to shore and up the incline by steam- powered winch. For a few summers it did a lucrative business, but as the novelty wore off, the patronage dwindled.
The next source of entertainment was St. Aspinquid Park, located at York Beach on the easterly side of U.S. 1A near the Shore Road. Here, around 1895, the new electric car company maintained a zoo to which it attracted customers by promoting excursions to York Beach from cities and towns within about a thirty-mile radius. For about a decade the steam railroad also ran special-fare excursions with such success that old-timers have been heard to say that the Sunday crowds were as large in those days as they have been since automobiles became common.
The men with whom Samuel W. Junkins was associated were responsible for improvements and innovations. Among the early promoters, George M. Connaroe of Philadelphia started his operations with the purchase of the John Parsons farm at Phillips Cove. His dream was to interest men of wealth, particularly from Pennsylvania, in buying large tracts and developing them into beautiful estates. Though at one time he made an attempt to buy all the land at Long Sands, he met with only partial success with his holdings between Cape Neddick and Ogunquit Rivers. To him York is indebted for the building of the beautiful stone church

at Bald Head Cliff, and to his wife Ogunquit owes gratitude for the attractive library.
The bank, established in 1892, was the creation of James T. Davidson, who also organized the York Historical Society, in 1893. In 1895 Edward S. Marshall started the York Heat, Light and Power Company, and in the same year Josiah Chase founded the York Shore Water Company which has since been developed into the York Water District. The Old Gaol was opened as a museum on July 4, 1900; the Country Club was organized in the same year, its first active promoter having been Thomas Nelson Page.
In 1902 was celebrated the 250th anniversary of the year when the City of Gorgeana was made the Town of York. A parade with floats to symbolize historical events in early town history formed the morning event. In the afternoon ceremonies, speeches were delivered by men noted in their fields throughout the state and nation. In the evening, the festivities were centered around Barrell Mill Pond, named "Lake Gorges" for the day and illumi- nated by a ring of Japanese lanterns along its shores. A concert by a Navy band and a display of fireworks brought a fitting close to the day's program.
At a garden party given in 1905 by Mrs. Newton Perkins at the Perkins House, and attended by delegates from Russia and Japan and others who were attending the conference at the Kittery Navy Yard to write the treaty of peace to end the Russo-Japanese War, six thousand dollars was donated for the benefit of the York Hospital, for which the land and dwelling of James T. Davidson was purchased.
Thus it was in the short space of twenty years that innova- tions were made which began the modernization of York.
A MODERN MIRACLE
NATURE, WHICH GUIDES and influences all the acts of man, is commonly given scant space in books devoted to histories of communities, but one event, which only Nature could have brought about, deserves to be remembered.
During the first decade of the twentieth century eastern United States was plagued by caterpillars which were not well known at that period, particularly the Brown Tail and the Gypsy Moths. In a new environment these pests prospered and multiplied at a prodigious rate, and all methods of control known to man made no perceptible impression on their numbers. In 1914 the spring foliage on all trees was eaten off, till by June the trees looked as bare as they had in winter. In the next phase of their life cycle the caterpillars changed to flying moths, and the air was white with them. By night they flew towards bright lights, and the ocean from the shores to the glaring beacon of Boon Island was plainly marked in radial lines with the corpses of moths which had not the strength to reach the light, while the rocks of the Island were made white as by a snowstorm with the bodies of moths which reached the goal only to perish.
After the fall rains came, the trees bore leaves again, and again another crop of caterpillars stripped the branches bare, and so, without a natural season of growth, the trees went into the winter. Humans suffered, for the bodies of the caterpillars carried a fuzz that caused irritation to eyes and skin which intensified and spread when rubbed or scratched. People on picnics in the "shade" of the bare trees forgot the traditional ants in the food when caterpillars dropped upon them from the branches above.
A cartoon in one of the magazines of that year best ex- pressed the anxiety and the hopelessness which people felt. Cap- tioned "To the Last Man", it showed this "last man" seated alone on the peak of a mountain where he had been driven by hordes of marching insects of various hues and sizes crawling towards
275

him from all sides up the slopes. There was no other earth to be seen in the picture; just insects and the little spot at the mountain- top barely able to contain this lone man.
Late in November an "old-fashioned" winter set in; the ground was frozen hard, and below-zero nights were common. A day or two after Christmas there came a thaw such as has never been seen since 1914 or recorded in previous annals. Tempera- tures ranged into the high seventies by night as well as by day. The ground opened up to the extent that a neighbor did his fall plow- ing on the first day of January. Lilac bushes and fruit trees budded and formed their leaves-and the caterpillars, all hatched out, lay one against another, in black, furry masses that in many cases extended four inches and more down the tip of each twig.
The termination of the thaw was as odd as the thaw itself. After about the tenth day the rains descended, with the tempera- ture still around 70°. All day and all night it rained in torrents, and on the second day the temperature went down and down till it reached below the freezing point. All the twigs were coated with ice with clusters of tiny caterpillars clearly visible beneath. Then came the "old fashioned" cold again, with snow covering the ground to a depth of two or more feet, and there was no thaw again until the normal time in spring.
Every last insect was killed in this one action and from that time on there has never been an infestation of comparable extent. Indeed, it was at least eight years before a single Brown Tail Moth appeared in York County, when some appeared in Wells, having been imported with a carload of lumber. Gradually they spread until the town of York was again visited by numbers which increased for the next few years and then disappeared. The Gypsy Moth is still with us, but though annoying, not to the extent that inspires fear.
Miracles occur every day and every year, so regularly that they are noticed only by those that have eyes to see, and by those miracles Nature's seasons are made possible. But here was one so rare, so timely, occurring when man was made aware of his insig- nificance before a force with which he not only could not cope but for which he could not contrive a remedy, as to inspire and sustain a faith that there is a Power which can and will come to the rescue in times of deep despair.
BIBLIOGRAPHY
LOSSES OF OFFICIAL RECORDS of the Province of Maine, Gorgeana, or of the Town and County of York are accounted for in the reports of certain happenings:
1. A court order issued at York, June 30, 1653, stated that official papers of Basil Parker, recorder of the Province, were missing.
2. The first book of records, begun in 1643 by Roger Garde, was "in delapidated condition" and "very much torn" in 1731.
3. Minutes taken of some court proceedings and land sales were never entered in official records.
4. There was no official recorder from 1643 to 1647.
5. Some papers of Edward Godfrey were seized when Gorgeana was usurped by Massachusetts; others by agents of Sir Ferdinando Gorges's grandson, and others in York were lost.
6. Church records and vital statistics were lost when the home of the Reverend Shubael Dummer was destroyed in the Massacre.
7. Papers of Edward Rishworth may have been destroyed during the Massacre.
8. Later church records may have been lost in the fire which destroyed the Parsonage on March 31, 1742.
9. Second Parish records may have been lost when the home of the Reverend Samuel Langton was burned in 1768.
10. Proprietors Records, beginning in 1732, were last seen in about 1950.
