| The Manchester Center Village
Improvement Association will give a
moving picture entertainment at the
Opera House on Saturday evening
next for the purpose Of wiping out the
last seventy dollars due on the side
walk. This walk which is so greatly
seven hundred dollars and the Associ-
alton is to be congratulated that it is
so nearly out of debt. The work has
involved much time and thought and
labor, The people have responded
most generously with work, material
and money, but there remains this
small deficit and it should be at once
wiped out. If those who have not
paid so much as they think they can
would add a small contribution, if
thaca x,rka tht,r 70, Ill.
at all would contribute, and if all
would pack the Opera House on Satur-
day night, there is every reason to be-
lieve the Association debt will be wip-
ed out. Every Manchester citizen has
reason to be proud of the beautiful
stretch of walk now connecting the
two villages. Through the muddy
spring out door exercise was made
possible to many who otherwise would
have been housed, and pupils certain
ly have never been able to reach the
Seminary with such comfort. Let us
all contribute our share to make the
sidewalks our own and to feel that we
are part Of the group who believe
in Manchester, in her future, and are
willing to do all possible to make her
what nature evidently intended her to
be--the most beautiful town in the
State Of Vermont.
