Thursday Afternoon, March I - , I f FACE SIX (Third Section) THE WAYNES VILLE MOUNTAIN Tho Village Smithy Going Strong at 82 AP Ncwsfcatures NORTH BROOKSVILLE, Me As spring comes round, Charley Grindle Is ready. Ready in the blacksmith shop he built in 1888 where he has watched the seasons come and go these 63 years. " At 82. Charles W. Grindle still swings a sturdy hammer. Cone are the horses of yester year. Only once in a while docs a team arrive to be shod, or a customer seeks a new wagon wbcel. His skill with wheels used to be Charley Grindle's pride. But changing times bring com nrasations. Instead of horses tbjere are summer residents. And summer residents can mean good business to a blacksmith who. ljk Charley, long ago "gradually got into ornamental Iron work." That's why winter seemed a good time for Charley Grindle to take a city vacation with his wife I his year at the home of a daugh ter .in Portland. But as the first spring thaw sets in, he gets back at his anvil, forge and bellows. Charley also sells some gaso line. He has a plaque a big oil company gave him to show he's the .'company's oldest dealer in the suite: Charles Grindle used to drive a stage from Brooksville to Bucjtsport. Then he learned blacksmithing. "Took to it na turally," he says. He handled metal work for a big sawmill long since gone. I built wagons and sleighs, too. Puzzled out the construction of a wheel, myself. Wheels got to be a sort of specialty with me. Cus tomers came from towns all J around. There's quite a knack to filling an iron rim snugly to a wbcel." '"It was good, healthy work o4 I managed to bring up a fam ily of seven children, six of them still living three boys and three girls." it Ik Smithy Charley Grindle. When automobiles came in, he sold parts, made repairs, in stalled gasoline pumps. "I still work at my trade," Char ley Grindle says. "Now I'm mak ing old-fashioned latches for doors for summer people who like to make over old houses. They bring me the designs and I hammer out the pieces from wrought iron.
