CURED at his home in East Cabot Sunday

church, was the officiating clergyman and

attended the services. The body was

When the whistle chirped for the finale
in the Goddard st. Peters game Satur-
day afternoon, football fans in Barre
saw the hilltop team in action for the
last time this season. The eleven plays
st. Peters at Rutland Saturday and Nor
witch university seconds at Northtieid on
the succeeding Saturday. 1t is barely
possible that negotiations now pending
with the second team at the University
of Vermont will be successful enough to
match the two eleyens for two games,
one in Barre and one in Burlington, but
thus far the Goddard management has
received scant encouragement from the
collegians. Spaulding plays its last home
game Saturday, when Montpelier high
comes to Gospel village for return con
test.

NJ. club to the number of about 20 people

the club and the men took a very promi-
nent part in the affair before the even
ing's entertainment was over. The rooms
were decorated with yellow and black,
giving the house the genuine Halloween
effect. Games and dancing were enjoyed
through the evening after which short
program was in order, the first number
being a mandolin solo by Harold Morse
and the second and last duet by Messrs.
A. Hall and William Johnston. A Hal
loween lunch was served, including very

A thick fog which enveloped the land
scape between Washington and East
Barre Tuesday morning was responsible
for an accident in which a car owned by
H. G. Bennett and operated by Ward
Jones of Northfield for Ira c. Calef of
Washington and Fred Sargent's feed
truck were considerably damaged. The
feed truck, a Cadillac of the 1911 model,
sideswiped the touring car, Cadillac OF
more recent design, near the Ordway
farm. Chauffeur Jones was on his way
to Barre with load of school children
and Mr.. Sargent was proceeding toward
Washington with load of feed. Miss
Marjorie Weller, daughter of Rev. Paul
Weller, pastor of the Universalist church
in Washington, sustained minor injuries
and other students were badly shaken up.
Miss Weller is a student at Goddard sem
mary. It is said that one OF the fore
wheels of the truck rode the running
board of the touring car. Each driver
brought his auto to stop Immediately
The running board and mudguard on the
touring car were damaged and front
axle on the feed truck was bent. The
autos were brought to Barre for repairs.
