While E. w. Bedding and son, Raymond.

Oriol, all Of this city were returning Tues
day night from a motor trip to Boston and
Springfield, Mass. they met with an ac-
cident which came close to being fatal
to them all. Between New Haven juno
ton and Vergennes. about two miles from
Vergennes, while going up a rather steep
hill, with an embankment on one side. the
party met a car which was travelling with
very bright and dazzling lights. In fact.
these lights were so dazzling that Ray
mon Bedding, who was driving. could not
see the road.
Young Mr.. Bedding says that, on this &C.
count. his car swerved out Of the high
way, went over the embankment at the
side. barely missed a tree went part
way up another embankment and then
backed into a fence and stopped. If the
fence had not been there. it is the opinion
Of the young man that the car must have

the machine was run back into the road
on its own power and the party came on
to Burlington.
Mr.. Belding states that the car carry.

by a woman. did not even stop when his
car went out of the road. AS soon as he
could do so, he CAV chase with another
car and learned that the number OF the
brightly lighted car was T23 VT.
An interesting part of the trip Of the
Belongs was a sidetrip to Westfeld Nom
day. There they found the boys Of the
Vermont regiment, who have been sta.

getting ready to leave Monday night. The
entire ammunition train was packed up
and ready to start on a moments notice

Women Of Relief Corps Gladly and
Handsomely Respond to sugges-
ton Made By Members Of STAN
~arS Post. G. A. II.

The dinner which Stannard woman'a
Relief Corps rendered Tuesday evening to
the contingent of IL men from this county
who left yesterday morning for Aver,
Mass, was a remarkable success in every
particular. About GO persons from many
walks of life in this city were present,
and many were the expressions Of fine,
we'll DONE" etc.. that emanated from the
lips of those who partook of the dinner.
To Mrs. Charles E. Beach, a past de-
partment president of the woman'sR Relief
Corps. goes much of the credit for tho
success of the affair. Mrs. Beach was the
chairman of the committee that had the
arrangements in charge. The idea Of CIV
ing a dinner to the drafted men originated
with three members of Stannard Post,
G. A. r. They are Commander ]. w.
Boutwell,, Adjutant c. d. Williams and
Past Department Commander c. E. Beach.
After they had discussed the subject
thoroughly. they went to see the ladies
of the auxiliary who appointed a COM
mittee to arrange the matter.
The members Of the contingent were
escorted I'd their seats by the corps color
bearers. Upon reaching their places the
corps gave their salute to the flag, an
orchestra played the Star ~Spangled
Banner while those present sang. DR..
1. c. Smart. pastor of the College Street
Church said grace, and the dinner was
on.
After dinner, John w. Boutwell,, com.
mander of Stannard Post. welcomed the
contingent to the rooms. He then intro
duced Comrade Charles Z. Putney to
speak a few words to the boys on behalf
of the Post. To this request Mr.. Putney
responded in ar able manner. At the
conclusion of Mr.. Putney's talk Gen.
T. S. Peck, the ranking past commander
in the State. acted as POSTMASTER at the
request of Comrade Boutwell, and intro
duced as speakers Mayor j. Holmes
Jackson, DR.. c.. J. Russell, chairman OF
| the local board Of exemption, Col. Arthur
Thayer. Col. William c. Rivers, w. j.
| Van Patten, DR.. I. C. Smart. Robert
Roberts. John l.. %Southwick, Postmaster
James E. Burke and ex-Judge c. s. Pal
mer. Col. John H. Mimms was called
also, but he had left the hall.
All these speakers were applauded at
the conclusion of their remarks. which
were in most instances interspersed with
witty stories. The speech Of Judge Pal
mer is deserving special mention. It
was brim full Of patriotism. and the
speaker was roundly applauded time and
time again.
Contributions which nave been coming
in steadily the past few days to Charles
E. Beach at the Burlington Savings bank
will defray the expenses Of the dinner
to the drafted men, n II there Is not
enough secured in this ann to cover
the expenses there are three patriotic
men who will gladly respond with the
balance.
At the close of the exercises all those
present filed by the members Of the con-
tingent, grasped their hand and wished
them good luck and Godspeed.

HIGH SCHOOL oPERErrA

The Operetta Pocahontas was pres
.ented last Friday and Saturday even
ings to appreciative audiences If
one may judge from remarks made as
people left the building the students
made a decided hit. The cast was
composed of twenty one high school
students instructed and directed by
Seth A. Solberg of the High School
faculty. The costumes and stage
settings were of home production and
showed taste and skill in arrange
ment.
There was no dull moment in the
entire performance of one and one
half hours and each performer did
credit TO himself and school. The
choruses were especially fine and the
audience seemed to appreciate and
enjoy the hearty, happy spirit of the
performers. The instructor and the
students deserve praise for their
work.
This play will be given in the Coll.
