boarding houses we have at a con-
servative estimate $500 people who
spend a portion of the summer sea-
son with us.
In the village we have within the
last few years built over the two
churches, the Congregational and
and Presbyterian, and now have sub
stantial buildings finely finished in
side and equipped with parlors, din
ing rooms and kitchen. A modern
four-room school building with fine
large hall on the second floor used
by the town for all purposes. A new
grange hall with ample accommoda-
tions for that f1ourishing order. A
public library with over 5000 vol
umes, water system costing over
$14, 900, a new fire station equipped
with chemical engine, hose and carts
and ladder truck, manned with
volunteer fire company, successful
creamery, good stores, grain and feed
mill, wagon shop, blacksmith shop,
good hotel and boarding houses, four
large lumber mills in town and a
thriving village at the Bend, with a
two-room school building, two
churches Methodist and Catholic
and a granite cutting industry.
The town has been very g nerous
in support of the good roads move
ment, our highways show the re-
suits. There remains much more to
do in this line, especially in the viii
large where we have some of the
worst mud holes in town during
spring and fall.
There is a project on foot for cleo
trio lights which, if successfully
worked out this season, will be
great benefit to the community. With
a small additional expense to the
town our schools might give the adj
vanced pupils much better oppor-
tunity than at present, and save in
dividual parents considerable ex-
pense in sending their children to
some other town to get what ought
to be freely furnished them here at
home. George A. Porter.

be INDUCED in during the long
months of winter by the residents Of
the village. In some villages dur
ing the winter months a series of en-
tertainments are provided weekly by
a Bureau" or "Chautauqua" and al
most every week in the town hall
some sort of a varied entertainment
is provided. l am told that these
are well supported and are not only
amusing but instructive as well.
There are many theories offered as
to why the young people do not re-
main on the farms and in the viii
lagos. Perhaps it IS because this prob
lem of recreation is unsolved in some
other villages as well as here. 1t
takes considerable courage and real
grit to face a Vermont winter. In
a small village, how much brighter
would be the prospect if in the fall
of the year we could look forward
to a good time during the cold win
ter weeks; look forward to a time
of recreation and amusement that
would be uplifting as well as enter
tanning. Are there not other viii
lagos that have the same?

tional Boys and Girls clubs that he
is organizing all through our state.
Mr.. Burbank explained the work he
has laid out for the schools in his
union for the exhibition in Septem-
Der. The exhibit last fall was very
good, for the first attempt and $12
in prize money was given by the
town but this year the amount has
been increased to $25 and it is ex-
pected that the exhibit will be much
larger and better. Mr.. Simpson was
present last fall and gave the chill
dren some valuable ideas as to the
manner of arranging their articles
for exhibit.
All encouragement and help that
may be given the pupils of our schools
in this work is a benefit to our COM
munity, although few of our towns
people (thank fortune for the small
number) are opposed to raising mon
ey for that purpose.
Would it not be beneficial to our
town to hold a general fair at the
same time and place of the schools
exhibition and give all who wish to
join an opportunity to place whatever
they wish on exhibition. 1t is in
convenient for many to attend the
county fair, very few carry articles
for exhibit, but a town fair with sew
eral good speakers present would, no
doubt, be generally patronized and
many valuable ideas gained. These
fairs have been successfully carried
on in other towns. In one adjoin-
ing town badges were given in place
of prizes for the best exhibits, and
the articles exhibited were given to
be sold if desired Dinners were al
so sold to those who wished all of
which was used as far as necessary
to pay expenses of the fair.
Several have expressed a desire
that Canning Club" might be or
ganized with some one to demon
strate the art of canning. The meth
DDS of canning the common fruits are
generally known to all, but the art
by which all kinds of meat and veg
etables may be preserved is a mys-
terry as yet unknown to many. Mrs. |
Chase and Mr.. Ingalls, made it plain
that much is allowed to waste that |
might be canned for home use or sold.
He stated that in one town there
was an excess of apples all going to
waste. The children took their can
ming outfits into the orchards and
canned hundreds of cans and sold
them. In another place jelly was
made and sold.
The National Boys and Girls clubs
tell just how to do these things and
give much valuable information.
Would it not be beneficial to our COM
in general to plan for gen.
eral exhibit this fall and get busy at
once with that end in view?

community spirit Of friendliness- and
cooperation. The business outlook
is encouraging. The past year has
seen much painting and repairing OF
houses and the filling up of vacant
tenements. Farming continues prof
liable, the creamery is busy, the lum-
Der business fills a good many freight
cars in the course of a year, and all
the local stores are doing business
as usual. There are signs OF some
realization of the long delayed hopes
of a new industrial development. The
owners of the river rights are spend
ing lot of money planning for their
development, and whatever they do
they can not help developing cleo
trical power, part Of which at least
could be used to better advantage
here than anywhere else.
But the efficiency of any indus
trial center depends on its social life.
This is even more true of the sue
cessful development of a residence
community, and business or no bust
ness, there is no reason why this
community should not go on develp-
ing its exceedingly attractive features
in this direction, If only the neigh
borly spirit can be cultivated, and
new corners made to feel the welcome
which really awaits them. This
spirit can be developed by doing
things together.
Some of the things which ought
to be done together are these: Trim
the shade trees, plant new trees, in
stall more street lights, improve the
village library, open a reading room,
print village post cards and other
advertising, plan the social enter
tainments so that grange, church
school and other interests will work
together, provide lecture courses,
help the school clubs and other
school interests, work to have the
toll bridge made free, cooperate with
the village of Monroe across the riv-
er in other ways, encourage the To-
cal band and orchestra. But above
all else, develop the academy. This
is the greatest asset of the commun-
ity, and it must have an endowment
if it is to continue to do its work as
a private institution and remain in
this corner of the town.

Less Bill Boards and Better Glass of
Moving Pictures Wanted.

Moving Pictures Wanted.
AS the spring approaches the peo-
pie are doing away with their bank
| ings, storm doors and windows and
look around to see what improve
ments can be made around their
buildings for we are gradually
learning the inestimable Importance
of keeping clean. 1t is essential to
our physical welfare that we breath
clean air and plenty of it and drink
clean water. The health of a neigh
borhood requires clean streets and
every individual can do the most eff
fective work that can be done; to see
that her neighborhood is clean. No
time of the year is more suspicious
for the beginning of a campaign of
cleanliness than in early spring.
How can we improve our town is
a question that every citizen in ST.
Johnsbury should be interested in.
1 noticed with interest in the last
Caledonian that a day had been set
aside to clean up and paint-up. Let
me call your attention to a few other
things that would be great improve
ment to st. Johnsbury. AS you go
up Eastern avenue the appearance of
the street is spoiled by two hideous
bill-boards. One fastened to one of
the business blocks with no less than
h.
same building. The other is between
two buildings, with rubbish thrown
behind it, which gives the street
slack look besides injuring the ap-
pearance of both places.
1t is a beautiful drive along the
Passumpsic River from st. Johnsbury
to the Center, but it's beauty is marred
because of advertisements on the
trees and fences. Six advertisements
are nailed on one beautiful tree and
eight on another, injuring the trees
and spelling the beauty of the way
side. Again you will see the fences
and out buildings decorated, used for
purpose.
The selectmen of our town are
obliged to put up new fences along
the highway this year. Are we go
ing to stand by and see them deco |
rated with advertisements? l am not
opposed to advertising signs but a |
place must be provided for everything |
and, if billboards there must be, place
can be found for them where they !
will not be offensive. But such places
are not in landscapes against wooded |
views, river drives, against trees or
on the sides of houses or buildings.
Where beauty is sacrificed, the value
of property is lost, the pride of a

three miles from Danville at the out
let OF Joes Pond which was named
for old Joe Indian, who made his
home there on it's shores for so many
years.
During the war of 1912 Danville
raised a company of men and in 1861
to 1865, Danville furnished 245 men
under the call of the president The
tax payers of the town in two years
time paid $4,000.
The surface is rough and noun
famous, the town is well watered and
timbered and is noted for it's rich
ness of soil. 1t is about 500 feet
above the Connecticut river.
Going back to Joes Pond, it is three
miles long and mile wide
and covers 1000 acres. 1t dis
charges it's waters into the Pas
sumpsic through Joes brook. Here
is one of the finest water powers in
the state. 1t has fall of 200 feet
which is not being fully utilized. The
future holds grand possibilities for
big power houses and manufacturing.
Twenty years ago there were only
three buildings on the shore of the
pond, today, there are 100 cosy cot
tages, that dot the shore with new
ones added every year, which are
owned and occupied by people from
several states, even as far as Cali
fornia l heard one man remark he
had travelled through Europe and
nearly all over the world, but around
Joes Pond was the prettiest spot he
had ever seen.
The village consists of quite num-
Der of houses, two stores Colbert
Hastings and George Gile), two grist-
mills (Albert Daniels and F. B. MILL
GAM a saw mill and electric plant
run by Albert Daniels, a stone shed
that employs several men, run by
Goss and Conley, Methodist church,
a two-room graded school, a New
England Hall, a depot, a dance hall
and roller skating rink run by Mrs.
Lillian Berry and black smith shop |
run by Albert Anderson.
Some of the oldest settlers of this |
part of the town were Josiah Taylor, |
James and Abel Guild, Moses Web
ster, Benjamin Haviland and David |

first millers.

PASSuMPSIC
Some Form of Recreation Needed For
the Winter Months.

In any small community there are
many problems about country or ru-
raj life presenting themselves for So
luton. There are, indeed, many
splendid features, and the telephone
and electric lights have done much
to improve conditions for those who
must live in villages or townships.
Nobody can gain say the fact that
rural life is conducive to good health
in village like Passumpsic where
people vie with each other
in doing a good turn for their neigh
Dor, Where we have a fine school
and a splendid church and where liv-
ing conditions, except perhaps in win
ter, are ideal. There is one big need
staring us in the face. 1t is the need
of recreation, some sort of amuse-
ment, wholesome and clean, that can
