SKOWHEGAN — The Margaret Chase Smith Library is pleased to announce the topic of its 21st annual essay contest — drug abuse.
As far back as 1951, Smith warned that “one of the great threats to our country today is the preying of narcotic peddlers upon our children.”
Since the 1980s, the nation has waged a war on drugs with mixed results. The Margaret Chase Smith Library invites Maine high school seniors to propose how they would address the current lethal drug epidemic.
Entries are due by April 1, and decisions will be announced on May 1. Prizes are $50 for five honorable mentions, $250 for third place, $500 for second place and $1,000 for first place.
