From Here to There

Tale of Two Towns

Sanford, Maine—Congressman Robert Hale, who represents Sanford and a lot of other southern Maine communities in Washington, is a hard worker for his region and his state. He is busy at the moment trying to get federal money for practically everything that has a Maine angle, from shipyards to “interstate” highways. In particular he has been agitating for direct federal assistance, including a distribution of surplus federal food, for the stricken Biddeford-Saco area, which happens to be just twenty miles from Sanford.
