VULGAR AND Ill BRED
"Uncaled For Inappropriate, and
Sacrllecious"

Editor Of the Banner:
Charles A. Wood, manager OF the
Bennington opera house makes the
following statement; North AID
ans, with two theatres, gets from
three to four larger attractions a
season than Bennington. The ques-
ton is often asked why can't we have
them. The problem is easily solved.
North Adams is much larger than
Bennington and has more wealthy
patrons. We have only about rs
people here who would pay even 81
TO see the Lords supper with the
original cast"
think the above article Is the
most uncalled for, inappropriate and
sacrilegious comparison ever printed
in newspaper. At least | can con
ceiye of nothing more vulgar or i'll
bred and wonder The Banner could
so lower itself as to print it.
Yours truly,
Geo. Worthington.

MCCONNELL AGREES
Accepts Terms Of Toronto Club Of
international League.

Andy Mcconnell, the former Chi
cago White Sox baseball player and
a product of Pownal, has accepted
the terms of the Toronto club of the
international league. Andy was not
released from the big league team be
cause he lacked the ability of a big
league ball player. but for the rea
son that he is not strong enough to
last through a season of hard base
ball. Mcconnell. although he is on
~ midget, was one of the hardest
hitting second basemen in the game
and has been a valuable asset to the
White Sox during his career with
that nine.
