The proposal to build state road
through Smuggler' Notch is one that
should be commended and encouraged.
1t might not pay dividends in dollars
and cents but then again it might ow
ing to the increase of automobile trav-
cl and the actual intrinsic value of
accessible natural scenery. We do not
care whether it pays or not. Shylocll
wanted profit on every venture but
times have changed some since
the days of Shylock. We have some
things in our homes and lives that we
place there with no thought of profit,
and a state that views every detail of
its progress with a cash register con-
science will gradually shrivel up in its
soul. The state has already built the
NortonIsland Pond road and it was a
creditable and patriotic thing to do.
By all means build the Smuggler s
Notch road even if it does cost 100000.
Then when that is done remember that
the south end of the states deserves
just as well as the north end and
make generous appropriation to rem
der passabe the old road from Airing
ton through Sunderland and Stratton to
the West river valley This mountain
pass now practically unknown save to
n few people, has an attractiveness not
less than Smuggler Notch. 1t is
through the widest and least penetrat-
ed forest section in Vermont save one
and the Sunderland gorge or canyon is
of striking beauty. 1t is not like the
roads between Bennington and Brat
tleboro or Rutland and Woodstock,
which are commercial highways and
should be built and maintained as such.
1t is an old turnpike over the noun
tains and is now being closed up by
the fast encroaching Wilderness. 1t
will take only little money to fix it
so that it can be used. 1t is an essen
tial part of the proper furnishings of
Vermont. The state should spend some
money for such things just the same
as the good mother of a household
hangs pictures in the rooms of the chill
drcn and grows flowers in the south
window. The Bennington and Wind
ham county members of the legislature
should get together to save the old
Stratton -turnpike from destruction and
oblivion.

to Ma: "My dear,

gestions from the rear,
If you will just keep still back there
and hold in check your fright
l IL take you where you want to go
and get you back all right
Remember that my hearings good, and

And l can drive this ear without sug
gestions from behind"
Ma promises that she IL keep still; then
off we gayly start
But soon she notices ahead peddler,
and his cart.
" You d better toot your horn,' says
she, "to let him know we re near,
He might turn out" and Pa replies,
"Just shrek at him my dear
And then he adds: "Some day some
guy will make lot of dough
By putting horns on tonneau seats for
women folks to blow
A little further on Ma cries, "he sig
nailed for a turn!'
And Pa says: "Did he?' in a tone

"Oh, there S a boy ON roller skates, -
says Ma, "now do go slow,

Pa says: 81 dunno,

really it may be
That ! am blind and cannot see what s
right in front of me.
If Pa should speed the car bit, some
rigs to hurry past.
Ma whispers: "Do be careful now.
You re driving much too fast.
And all the time SHE IS pointing out
the dangers of the street,
And keeps him posted on the roads
where trolly cars he II meet.
Last night when we got safely home
Pa sighed and said; "My dear,
