SUBSCRIPTION RATES

There is much interest shown over
the matter of changing the name of
Island Pond to Brighton and name of
the lake to Lake Brighton or Island
Lake. Already the citizens are max
ing public their views on the question
and good reasons are given in the
article in another column of this
issue favoring a change. We want
all citizens to use the columns of the
Herald for making public their views
on this and other like matters. The
name of Island Pond does not prop
erly convey to the public the extent
and real beauty of our lake, neither
is the name suitable to the village.
Our pretty island lake is about three
miles long and nearly two miles
wide. The island contains many
acres and the lake ITS acres. There
is beautiful scenery surrounding the
lake and the island rests like min
iature forest in the middle of its
waters. We know there is fond
ness for clinging to old names anc
we are 10th to make a change, but
this is advocated only for the pur
pose of having a name that will con
vey a more accurate name picture OF
our lake and village. The poet asks
"What's in a name? In this cast
there is much, for it means chang
ing to a name that will give a RICH
impression of our village and lake
This question has been agitated be
fore by other parties, but their pro
gressive efforts met with no apparen
results. Today there is expressed
desire for a change. Let us NJ
stand in opposition. to this change, i
we do we are blocking progress ant
the best interests of the village.

former premier and pro-ally leader Of

AT this moment. when one more
nation is added to the long list Of
those fighting against Prussian mill
tarism for the liberty of Europe and
the independence of the smaller
States. 1t Sonnot but give more
strength to the common confidence in
the complete victory of the allies.
Although l deeply grieve that my
country has already SO much delayed
paying due contribution to the strug-
gle for the most precious benefits OF
humanity. I trust the influence OF
Rumanian Intervention renders alb.
solutely impossible for the existing
Greek authorities any further per-
sistence in their policy of neutrality
and that at the soonest moment
Greece. too. will Join the camp where
her proved and traditional friends are

Mr.. Hughes has declined repeat

fact that in this speech this after

language almost identical to that used
by friends of Mr.. Hughes who have
discussed the strike situation with him.
The speech was made before 500
