MINUTES TO GET MACHINE
OVER AT WILD'S LANDING.

There has been some discussion
lately of the time consumed in trans
ferring automobiles at Wild's landing,

charged that this delay might work
against the coast route being selected
by the Dixie highway commissioners
Secretary Weatherly, of the Board of
Trade, recently took up the matter
with p. M. Wilds, who is in charge of
the ferry, and the following letter
from him shows that it takes less than
1.-TWO minutes to transport a machine
across the river:

State Forests ? Public Heritage.

The state forests are your forests;
they belong to you. You may wander
through them as you will, they are the
great Fairgrounds of the people Of
Vermont and their guests from other

aad number will be increased. Use and

BILE service to the largest number Of

State forests are desirable from an
economic and from scenic Viewpoint.
Every man, woman and child is direct
ly or indirectly connected with this
forest movement. This connection
should find expression not only in
words but in actual deeds. 1t is q
