Mr.. Dixon was driving along the
road that skirts the railroad track

Vermont is due to raise S2O0,00o
more for the Red Cross. This is to
pay for comfort and care for wounded
and sick soldiers that ought to be paid
by the government. There is no ~eX-
cuse for asking the public to raise this
money through the Red Cross. 1t
ought to be just as much part OF
the United States army service as the
buying of food and clothing for the
soldiers, but the government fails to
provide and shirks the load back onto
the backs of the public. If the public
doesn't meet the burden it will not be
met. il is q wrong situation, but there
is no way out, but to go ahead and
raise the money by public subscrip-
ton. The United States government
may be yellow enough to lay down
and let its boys suffer for lack of
care, but the people of the United
States are not. Therefore all we can
do is to go ahead and pay our share
as cheerfully as may be.

Unlike other cars entered in the Memorial

Six Specials were not designed as racing cars.
They are the regular stock Super-Six Cars
with changes that increased their speed and
made them more suitable for racing but that
have not altered their design. ~, 81

done at nominal cost to anyone of the $4,000
