WELFARE ASSOCIATION
Annual Meeting to be Held Next
Tuesday Evening.

Notice was given the other night in
these pages of the annual meeting of
the Public Welfare association next
Tuesday evening.
Now annual meetings may some
times be exciting. but are seldom con-
sidered entertaining. This one is go
ing to be just as little like an ortho-
doX annual meeting as possible.
During the past year our associa-
ton has been dcyng new things. We
are not only going to hear about them
but see some of them done-perhaps
do some of them ourselves. There
will be an exhibition of some of the
work (or play and unexpected ways
developed of showing how IL is done
and what 1t accomplishes.
1t may be rash to promise as many
thrills as the movies afford, but then
again, may be there will be more of
them. Any way. come and see.
Everybody in town is wanted at this
meeting. Just feel that it is yours
because the Welfare association is
of the people, by the people and for
the people, all the time.

VERMONT SETS THE PACE
Action of War Convention Appreciat
ed at Headquarters.

Springfield, Vt, Oct 6.-Federal
Food Administrator James Hartness
has received from Herbert Hoover,
national head of the food administra-
ton, letter of thanks for the resolu-
tion adopted at the Rutland war con
vention when Vermonters assembled
from all parts of the state pledged
their loyal support to the Food Ad-
ministration. Mr. Hoover writes to
Mr. Hartness as follows.
Permit me to thank you and the
people of Vermont for the resolution
adopted by the Vermont war confer
ence. 1t is indeed encouraging to
find such appreciation of the problems
of food conservation and such pa
triotic desire to cooperate in every
way possible to their successful con
clusion"
H. J. Hill. national director of food
conservation enrolment campaign,
which will open in Vermont and else
where October 21st, when every
housewife will be asked to sign
card pledgng herself to conservation
of food, is also highly pleased at Yer
mont'S activities in the preliminaries
of the campaign, writing as follows on
receiving newspaper clippings about
the Vermont war convention:
Thanks for copy of your publicity.
1t is the best thing of its kind that we
have had come to our hand, except
the matter which comes from Indiana.
We will use both that and yours in
kicking out suggestions to the field
through our publicity department"
The Vermont food administration
officials are naturally pleased that the
Green Mountain state is helping to
set the pace for the union and they
realize that to finish the campaign as
it has been started will require a
maximum enrolment if the eXpeeta-
tions of the national officials are to
be realized.

which organization should have fol
its end, the conservation and develop
ment of the fish and game of the
state. Like our roads, our fish ant
game may be made one of Vermont's
/ greatest assets.
81 sincerely hope that the officer:
of the Vermont Fish and Game
