Vermonters to go to Rome.

Six Vermonters will make up the Off
cal party of delegates to the Worlds
Fifth Sunday school convention, to be
held in Rome May 1928. They are Rev.
E. M. Fuller of Burlington, Mr.. and
Mrs. M. E. Perley, Kent Perley, Miss
Perley and Miss Stone of Enosburg
Falls.
Because of large number of people
who wish to make the trip it has been
found necessary to charter second
steamer to accommodate the delegates
and Others. More than 800 people have
signi6ed their intention of attending the |
convention and the room on the first |
official steamer, the Romano" of the
White Star Line, has already been taken |
up and second steamer, the 'Neckar,"
OF the North German Lloyd line, has been
engaged The former will sail from
Boston and the latter from New York
on April 81. The Enosburg Falls party
will make the trip on the Romano"
and Mr. Fuller on the "Neckar." 1t is
expected that other Vermonters will
also take advantage of the low rates.
Stops will be made en- route at the
Azores, Gibraltar, Algers, Naples and
Pompeii. The party will reach Rome
May Is and the whole trip will occupy
about 40 days
