The Waterbury Record suggests that a |
baseball league be made up from the |
towns of Morrisvlle, Mortified, Ran |
dolph and Waterbury. And adds 1--WE |
could have a little league of our own and |
become better acquainted. Nothing like
baseball to help touch elbows" Correct!
We hope this suggestion will be acted !
upon. A good team from Lamoile
county would be great and few first
classgames here during the season would
draw many visitors and make business.
Let's have an organization.
The Waterbury Record speaks as fol-
,ows concerning the work of Morris
own boy as school supervisor there:-
Martin W. Chaffee, union superintendent
If the Waterbury, .Moretown and Waits
ield schools, has resigned his position to
lake effect at the end of the present
year. Mr.. Chaffee has been in charge of
he schools for the past two years and his
work has been very satisfactory. He has
proven himself an excellent man on sys-
em and has raised the standard of the
schools in each town in the union. The
Jews of his resignation will be received
With general regret, not only in his work
n the schools, but the fact that it
means a good citizen will move from
own. All will join in wishing him con-
inued success when he takes up educa- {
ional work again.
