entering the church as early as one
o'clock. The array of floral offerings
was unusual and OF great beauty. and

very beginning Of the service. The
scene was deeply impressive.

the name Of Max L. Powell in the follow
ing communication to the editor of the

Dear Sr:-The untimely death Of Con-
gresham Foster brings the State of YER
mont and Burlington face to face with
a problem Of vital interest, the problem
of his successor, who can best take the
place made vacant.
The one young man who has done
most for burlington: who has demon
strated his ability to bring things to
pass: who has done more than any other
in recent years to put Burlington on the
map is Max l.. Powell.
He has the interests Of Vermont and
Burlington very much at heart. He Is
live wire and what he has accom-
plisl,cd is but n hint of what he could do
in a field OF greater activity
Further it would seem that this coun-
ty would unite in his support and II be-
ing generally conceded that n young man
should be chosen to represent the dis
| trict. 1t is the firm belief of the writer
that Mr.. Powell is the logical candidate
for this section.
