mount problem of the day has to do
with the back towns.
| As a possible panacea for some OF
these evils, the speaker told OF what
| the largest town in Windham county IS
doing to help the smaller communities
thereabouts. He spoke OF the introduc-
| ton of better means for transportation
and communication and of the plan for
| bcnefting a large section through the
| development of water power, He be-
| lieN ed that such methods formed the
most attractive avenue for assistance Of
this kind and he said that such a pro-
iect in any sizeable community once un-
der way would witness the practical
solution of the problems. As another
means of benefiting a great number he
advised the raising Of a large advertis-
ing fund and in this connection he did
not neglect the chance to speak a good
word for Nermont's summer hotel pos
sibilities. In line with this tangible
remedy for existing ills, Mr.. Fits ad-
dressed himself in favor of a railroad
line through the Williamstown gulf to
White River Junction. saying that with
such a utility Barre would cease TO pass
through it's suburb" in reaching Boston
and New York. He mentioned also the
opening for Board of Trade work in
the factors which are to bring this Oft
discussed project to pass.
just for a moment or so, Mr.. Fits
talk took a political turn and the I'M
+abated interest which had continued up
to that point seemed presently to as
sumo the nature of rapt attention tine
tured with suppressed excitement. We
are facing troublesome times, said the
speaker, and we should not be dis
traught or nervous. 1t is quite as nee
essary to know what should be left
alone as to realize just what should be
handled. The manner of representation
enumciated by our forefathers was a
wise one for it guarantees to the small
town one Of its prime means of protec
ton. There are other provisions, the
intent and purpose of which are to pro-
tect the weaker few from the majority.
Ii Is one OF the immutable laws that
the strong should help the weak and as
the large towns in Vermont should
willingly yield the means Of protection
to the weaker communities, so also
should this rule be observed in the con
in Vermont it is our duty to guard well
and protect the sacred heritage of our
forefathers, resenting strongly those
forces that aim to endanger our indie
pendent sovereignty.
