dren. Both audiences were apprecia-

a new arrangement affecting Central
Vermont freight train crews went into
effect yesterday. Heretofore every
through freight between New London
and White River Junction has been
manned by one crew. Now, however,
one set of employees will run between
New London and Brattleboro and an
other between Brattleboro and White
River Junction. This means that the
engineers. fremen and trainmen who
have been going through from New
London to White River Junction Will
tie up in Brattleboro over night. The
new law affecting railroad telegraphers
has made necessary an extra man at
the tower in South Vernon.
