For several years now, Wayland D. Hand, Director of the Center for the Study of Comparative Folklore and Mythology at the University of California (Los Angeles), has been working toward completion of a comprehensive Dictionary of American Popular Beliefs and Superstitions. However, in order that such a work may be as authoritative as possible, Dr. Hand has asked organizations and individuals in the various states to canvass their regions and publish tributary volumes first.

The importance of forest land as the medium for wood fiber production has been recognized for some time. Recent developments and trends show that another function of this same forest land is that of providing a playground for millions of outdoor recreationists. This phenomenon has affected some areas to such an extent that certain forest lands are now considered to be more valuable as sources of outdoor recreation than as wood fiber production units. This bulletin presents a plan for landowners of a 90,000-acre tract of commercial forest land located midway between Bangor and Calais, Maine, in Washington County, to …

The 1962 issue of Northeast Folklore is being edited now. It will consist of a series of six or seven Märchen, several animal tales, a ghost story, and a few songs, all told and sung by Wilmot MacDonald of Glenwood, New Brunswick. Interestingly enough, Helen Creighton and I found that we had both collected exactly the same stories from Wilmot at different times and under different circumstances. Therefore we hope to include both versions of at least one tale, and careful comparisons will be made for all the others. We have barely scratched the surface of Wilmot's repertoire, but since …
