ing their part toward counteractine
the influence which is drawing men
away from Vermont to work in NUM-
lions and arms factories. Bennington
is reported to be enjoying a real in
dustrial boom, with its factories work
ing to the limit and others being pro
jected. Windsor with its great ma
chine shop is another Vermont town

industrial progress unless powerful
home development is brought into op
Grafton. Despite some expressions Of
belief that Vermont is not losing by
this activity in munitions and arms
II factories. the fact remains that a great
many of the states workmen have
been drawn away TO southern New
England with little or no replacement
by workmen from other sales.--future
