GREATER VERMONT NOTES

The following letter is being sent by
The Greater Vermont Association to
the presidents and secretaries of all
the business and civic organizations in
Vermont:
September 27, 1915.
Dear Sir:-The crowds which Wis
tied the military tent of the Greater
Vermont Exhibit at the State Fair in
Dictated that the people Of Vermont
are immensely interested in military
affairs and the activities of the YER
mont military organizations. The
Greater Vermont Association had in
vited the Vermont National Guard,
Norwich University, and the military
department of the University of YER
mont to make a display illustrating
the work and history Of the Vermont
National Guard and other military or
CARNATIONS in the state.
The military exhibit was one of the
hits, If not the hit of the fair. The
Association now suggests that every
board of trade in Vermont devote one
of its monthly meetings this year to
the consideration Of "Vermont's Mil
tia and her Military Resources"
1t is consistent for the Greater Yer
mont Association and its constituent
members of work for greater interest
on the part of business men in this
states activities and for greater eff
ficiency along these lines, just as they
have worked for county agricultural
development, good roads, publicity,
and other things.
Possible speakers for such meetings
and dinners are as follows:
Colonel H. T. Johnson, First Regi-
ment Of Infantry.
General Lee S. Tillotson, Adjutant
General Of Vermont.
Captain j. L. Bond, U. S. Infantry
Inspector Instructor of Organized Mil
tia, State Of Vermont.
Captain Ira L. Reeves, U. S. Army, |
Adjutant First Infantry, Vermont Ma
tional Guard, and on duty with organ
lied Militia in the Adjutant Generals
Department.
Organizations should communicate
with the Office Of the Adjutant General
at st. Adams with regard to the Sc
curing Of speakers.
The Greater Vermont Association
will be happy to hear from you with
regard to this whole proposition and
to do anything possible to aid you in
the carrying out Of your plans.
Yours very sincerely,
J. p. TAYLOR,
Secretary"

CONTRIBUTORS TO THE
EDWARD WILLIAMS
MEMORIAL

1t is with deep pleasure that the fol-
lowing list of contributors to the fund
for memorial to Edward Williams is
given below, The amounts have var
led from ten cents upward. Some of
the subscribers are children who have
saved the pennies Of their weekly
allowance to help swell the amount,
and others are boys who have given of
their earnings. Every cent of the
fund has been given in loving remem-
brance of good boy, whose memory
is to be perpetuated by marble bap-
tismal font. 1t was thought at first
that a chalice might be the memorial,
but the contributions have been so
generous that it is possible to obtain a
font, which is what the church most
needs, and which will be fitting re-
minder for generations to come of
lad who was faithful servitor for
many years on the altar of st. Paul's.
