POLLY PARROT has been attracting a lot of attention down in the Arensman's shoe store foyer. You step on a mat to start Polly to talking and she really gives you a shoe spiel when she starts.

WASHINGTON A smashing Democratic in normally Republican Maine today jolted the GOP and boosted Democratic hopes for a nations! sweep in November.
