The Red Cross Campaign in
Vermont Going Ahead
Rapidly
ONLY FEW TOWNS
HAVE REPORTED
1t Is Expected That Over
$4,000 Will Be
Secured

Burlington, May 81 Memorial day
was banner day for the Red Cross. In
parades and in addresses in every town
in the state that had exercises the peo-
pie were urged to become members of
the Vermont chapter, American Red
Cross, before the state-w wide campaign
concludes on Saturday evening.
With most meagre reports from only a
few towns, not over half a dozen, of
the first days work, indications are that
the 10000 members desired will be great
ly exceeded. These half dozen towns
show 7S4 annual members, amounting
to 1874; AZ subscribing members, amount
ing to SS4; four contributing members,
amounting to $50, and one life member,
amounting to S25. From these 73l mem
bers, 1913 was received. With the pro.
portion averaging the same ON 10000
members, over $4,000 will be received.
Red Cross headquarters in this city,
authorized by Chairman Proctor, desires
to extend thanks to every person who
has given aid in making the statewide
campaign the big success it is sure TO
be. To the newspapers--all of them
for there is not one that has not been
most generous in giving space in its col
umns to the project, generous thanks
are extended. Every Red Cross worker
the state over has the thanks OF head
quarters for their tireless enthusiasm in
making this, the first statewide cam
paign of the kind the success that will
be recorded.
The Meade Manufacturing company
of this city with its quite 100 employees,
has already enrolled so per cent of its
men and women workers and announces
that the remaining 20 per cent will be
members before Friday night, pay day
occurring on that day.
The oldest person in Vermont to be-
come member of the Red Cross since
the campaign started, and who presuma-
bly, is the Oldest member in the United
States. is Mrs. Mary Field Hadley of
Brattleboro, who will be l0l years old in
October. Mrs. Hadley joined the organi-
zation on Tuesday.
Over 300 members were enrolled in
on the first day of the can
vass.
Bennington started her campaign with
an automobile parade Monday evening.
Fifty cars were in line and each carried
some insignia of the Red Cross or of
the work planned for the week. There
were 1900 Red Cross members in Ben
nington before Tuesday evening. The
lumber expected of this wide-awake
town is 1000, but it quite likely will
reach 5000.
OF the employees of the Remington /
Munitions plant at Swanton, 81 became
on the first day. This number !
will be greatly augmented as the enthu-
siasm among the employees for the Red
Cross is known to be at high pitch.

estingly of what has been accomplished
by organization in Vermont The toast,
"The Ladies'" was responded to by Miss
Lucy Wells of the Barre force, who be-
spoke for her sister employees throughout
the state welcome such as they had re-
ceived nowhere else in previous state
conventions. "The State of Vermont"
was the subject of a telling little speech
by Judge Stanley C. Wilson of Chelsea,
who told his hearers something of what
Vermont is doing and proposes to do in
the way of arming herself for the war.
His utterances were intensely patriotic
and delivered spiritedly. John w. Cor
don responded to the toast. Memorial
Day." and while he took judicial notice
of the day and all that it stands for, his
talk was greatly concerned with the war.
He gave his hearers the benefit of his
patriotic appeal to everyone present to
do his bit" whenever and wherever OPP
portunity offered.
Enjoyment of the banquet and speak
ing was somewhat shaded with disap-
pointment over the inability of A. L.
Tharp to be present. Mr.. Tharp arrived
in Barre from New York early in the day
and in the afternoon was taken quite Sc
riously i'll. physician was called to his
room at the hotel and while his condition
seemed somewhat improved thereafter he
was unable to appear at the banquet.
His address on "The Letter Carriers"
therefore, had TO be omitted. The last
speaker was Robert w. Simonds, com
missioner of industries, who responded
to the toast, "The U. S. A." Mr. ST.
monds' response was in the nature of
patriotic appeal and the applause which
had greeted the preceding speakers did
not escape him.
Undoubtedly yesterdays convention
and the banquet in the evening were de-
servedly successful, but without tile eff
forts OF an active local committee, the
visitors brief sojourn in Barre would
not have been so enjoyable. John A.
Leslie acted as chairman of a committee
made up OF clerks and carriers, the re-
naming members being John P. Cor
roran and Miss Luey Wells of the clerks, |
and F.. NJ. Lewis secretary. Charles L.

The report of the aldermanic fire and
health committees concerning the condi,
tions on the so-caled Enterprise alley in
the rear of the west side of North Main
street can be easily verified by anyone
who takes the trouble to pass along that
thoroughfare The conditions are dis
graceful and reflect much discredit on the
disposition of many occupants of the
business buildings whose back doors open
on the thoroughfare. Tin cans, the win
ter's accumulation of ashes, waste mate
rails of various sorts and junk occupy
commanding places and make the broad
open space desert of uncleanliness. One
reason why the course of the river was
changed some years ago was to prevent
the practice of using the river for
dumping ground for any refuse from the
blocks, public health demanding that the
nuisance be removed. For time after
the course of the river was changed, we
were fairly careful about keeping the re-
claimed territory clear of refuse; then
there came lapse into slothfulness, I'M
til the place now is not only an eyesore
but a germ preserve and breeder of
flies. The fire and aldermanic commit
tees will have the appreciation of the
community when they succeed in their
purpose of keeping Enterprise alley look
ing presentable. As it is now, Enterprise
alley should be named the Municipal
Pigpen.

the immediate future may bring forth

AT the same time the pleasant weather
furnished the veterans the opportunity
10 pay tribute TO their dead, and the peo-
pie, in turn, to pay tribute both to the
living and the dead of the nations fight

carried out with more feryor than Gus

the realization. too. that this year of
