EXPERTS COMING
The Cancer To Be Discussed By
Noted Medical Authorities
Here On June 10.

Speakers of national prominence
have been obtained by the Vermont
State Medical Society for its pro-
posed series of educational meetings

pal cities of this state early next

ment for cancer research in this
country, if not in the world. In
the special laboratory buildings re-
Gently opened on Morningside
Heights the search into the mystic
ries of cancer is being pursued with
all the equipment and methods
known to science. One of the fea-

selves informed as to the latest de-
Velopments in the methods of dag
nosis of cancer in it's early stages.
DR.. J. M. Wainwright of Scran-
ton, Pa, will take part in the morn

SCENIC HIGHWAY
State Constructing Excellent Road
Over WheeIOck Mountain
Other County Roadwork.

Through the courtesy of County
Highway Supervisor M. M. Stoeker
of Danville, the writer was given the
opportunity of visiting the Mountain
road in the towns of Stannard and
Wheelock that passes from Green's
boro Bend over the mountain and
down to Lyndon Corner, where the
state of Vermont is constructing an
excellent highway. For years, this
road has been a neglected wagon
trail over stones and logs or through
mud and bogs scarcely passable for
teams and forbidden ground to the
pleasure seeking autOmobilist. The
towns through which it passes are
so poor and heavily taxed to main
tain their more used highways that
the abandonment of this road seemed
a necessity. An inspection of the
road and a glimpse of its wonderful
scenery by Gov. G. w. Gates when
he was state highway commissioner
led to the undertaking of building a
line road through the forests that
cover the mountain side and will re-
suit in the construction of a fine
boulevard to points that furnish
scenery unexcelled by any other
highway in the northeastern section
of Vermont
Bowling along up the western
slope of the mountain if one will stop
to look backwards is a magnificent
view of the great range of the Green
Mountains from Camel's Hump to
Mansfield and northward along the
lesser peaks almost to jays Peak,
rising above the jumbled mass of
hills, mountains and valleys that
make up central Vermont. AS one
ermerges from the woods on the
eastern slope Burke, Willoughby and
Victory mountains greet the eye and
seem almost within speaking dis
tance, while far beyond them rise the
silent heights of the Presidential
Range, the Franconia peaks and the
mighty Moose1auke of the White
Mountain region and soon drops
down into the peaceful and prospe-
rous looking farming sections below.
As soon as this highway is finished
it is sure to be the Mecca of all who
the beauties of natural scenery. Not
only this but it will open a fine and
shorter route from the Lamoille val
ley to the Willoughby lake charms
and pleasures without the long de-
tour down through ST. Johnsbury and |
over the heights of Danville and Wal |
den.

vestigate the cause of the dynamite
failing to work. When within a few
feet the charge exploded, blowing
him about 20 feet. 1t was at first
thought he had been fatally injured,
as he was picked up unconscious. DR..

ploying first aid ordered the man re-
moved to the hospital, where he is
now making a satisfactory recovery.
