As announced elsewhere, the new
organization to be known as the First
Regiment of Vermont Volunteers will
have no company in Middlebury The
only Addison County unit to be recog-
nized will be that at Vergennes, which
got under way earlier with its applca-
ton.
There is pride to be taken in the fact,
however, that once the call became
known, so men, almost overnight, were
quick in response to the delayed call.
We believe our Public Safety Commit
tee should have been more alive in the
matter, and think credit is due to Prof.
Mcfarland and others of the committee
in taking the call into their own hands
when they found that some of the mem
bers of the committee had so passive ar
interest in the proposition that the OPP
portunity to form company here was
about to go by default.
