The sanitary service which a stout
fence can give on highway having a
sharp declivity was demonstrated again
in the town of Brookfield Sunday after.
noon when an automobile skidded off the
slippery highway and lurched over the
edge of the road, only to be caught by
two substantial posts and a guard rail
and held there while the six occupants
of the vehicle were able, to alight in safe
ty and rescue crew were able to haul
the machine back into the highway Had
there been no fence at all, or even film
sy structure. the car would have tumbled
down a high bank. to the danger of the
several occupants Every place of this
sort should be fortified with stout fences
and the towns which do not take up the
work are very lax and negligent of the
safety of the travelling public. Be it
said to the credit of Brookfeld that it
not only builds good roads, but it takes
steps to make those roads as safe as
possible under all conditions of the road
bed. The work which the town of Brook
field has put into the main highway con-
meeting between Williamstown and Ran
dolph has largely helped toward making
the reputation of the justly famed vii.
Jamestown gulf route.

BY giving several of its members to
the national military service and donat-
ing Liberty bond to the school, the
class of 1917 at Spaulding high school
did well. The members could do some
thing more for their country by helping
to raise the Barre subscription to the
Red Cross fund We, one and all, have
got to make up our minds that this war
Is not going to be fought by the other
fellow but by each one of us, in some
way or other. We refer to the 1917 class
of the high school because its service has
been quite prominent Of late, but we by
no means wish to convey the impression
that anyone else is to be exempt from
some service in behalf of the nation.

Although Americans at home appreci-
ate the significance of the honors being
paid to Major General Pershing abroad
they nevertheless realize that there is
hard work ahead for the American COM
mander and that he should be given as
much opportunity as possible to work
out the details of that work and to ac-
quaint himself with the war conditions
Therefore, it would be kindness to him
and tremendous benefit to themselves
if the French would let him alone for a
time.
