REMOVAL OF QUARANTINE IN
BARRE.

The removal of the general quarantine
in Barre against poliomyelts comes
after a comparatively meagre outbreak
of the disease, which was kept down, no
doubt, by the prompt enforcement of in
dividual quarantine whenever suspected
cases appeared, aided by the cooperation
of most of the people OF the city. In
fact, so prompt measures have been TAX
en- both for isolation of the patients and
| for immediate treatment that the run of
the disease has been considerably lighter
than in many other communities. For
this state of affairs the community is to
be congratulated, while at the same time
the people must be strongly impressed
with the advisability of taking some
what severe steps at the first outbreak
Bad as was the outbreak of last summer
it might have been UNNECESSARILY worse
under less rigorous restrictions and, par
tcularly, if the suspected cases were not
Immediately placed in isolation. As II
is, the community has emerged from the
incubus of the disease with a minimum
of unhappy results This does not mean,
however, that all vigilance can be relaxed
with the lifting of the general quaran- |
tine, for there are few patients still
under single house quarantine, and the
on those houses will be main |
tanned until such time as the likelihood |
of giving the disease from them is over
Parents would do we'll to keep fairly
close watch of their children to detect
signs of sickness which may be warning
If poliomyelts. Teachers in the pub
lie schools can also render an effective
service by noting any indications of ill
less on the part of any Of their charges,
uch observation being followed immedi-
ltely by the sending of the children home
II the calling of physician. In this
way we can prevent a recurrence of the
disease.

DON'T WAIT TO BE ASKED.

Too many people in the United States,
too many in Vermont and too many in
Barre are waiting to be asked to sub
scribe to the second Liberty loan of the
United States government. They seem
to expect that il is someone's duty to
come around and tell each and every one
of them that they ought to take bond
that it is their duty to buy, that the
government depends upon them to take
bond. They seem to think that it does
not devolye upon them as citizens to step
right up to the counter and say that they
are going to take a bond without being
eyerlastingly leased to do it. There are
too many Of that class of people The
result is that the second campaign for
floating from three to five billions Of dol
lars is tagging, woefully tagging with
the time more than half gone Are you

leased II SO, we earnestly urge YOU 10

Summer Residents.

Every year there seems to be an in
! creasing number of people who spend
the summer in Vermont This Is Il most
encouraging feature of the summer bust
ness. Tourists who stay few days or
weeks are desirable visitors, but the
summer resident il greater asset
Greensboro is an excellent illustration of
the value Of the best type of summer
colony and it is said t be the largest
in the state. About $50 cottages have
been built around Lake Caspian, in addi-
ton to hotels and boarding houses, and
not far from 1900 people come to this
charming spot every summer. Most of
the heads of these families are profes-
sional men, teachers, preachers, lawyers
Judges, physicians, and a few business
men, who come to Vermont for rest and
recreation. The presence of these visit
ors has had very wholesome effect upon
this little village, because they have
taken helpful interest in local affairs.
Greensboro is a more enterprising village
and has broader outlook because the I
people Of the summer colony have been |
good neghbors.
This does not mean that one little vii +
lagos are benighted communities that I
need to be 'uplifted' by hands of mis- I
slonarles. 1t Is true, however, that there
are few of our Vermont towns that I
may not be helped by the kindly interest
of visitors who are in touch with the i
world of education and affairs. There
is no limit to the opportunities afforded
for the establishment of summer homes
and summer colonies beside our lakes and
str H., S. - 4.Is

land is not available for cultivation but
i never fails TO produce scenic har-
vest. Practically all these regions are
easily reached. Paine mountain near
this village, is good illustration Of
the wonderful outlook afforded from our
Vermont hills and mountains. The state
publicity bureau is endeavoring to de-
relop this phase OF Nermont's opportuni-
les, and such work Is well worth while
because the increase Of summer homes
means better markets for the farmers
and a material increase in the property
of the various towns Yer

Along with lot of other lies told
about Vermont within the past six
months, place the story about the send
ing of a Vermont drafted man with a
crippled hand to the national can
Torment at Aver, as reply has
come from high official at that canton
ment that the man was not from YER

executive office at Montpelier is to be
commended for its prompt efforts to nail

effort has been made by the Vermont
state committee Of public safety to re.

the states being prepared, which shows
that Vermont on July |, 1917, stood sixth

CURRENT COMMENT
Connecticut Disappoints.

| Connecticut's record in handling the
iraft has been by far the worst OF any
| New England state and borders on the
positively disgraceful. Not only have the
draft quotas been untitled, sometimes to
an extent of 20 per cent below strength,
but il is said by newspaper observers
that the Connecticut recruits have been
in every particular the most unsatisfae-
tory on general principles of any that
have been received at Aver A camp
officer has stated that practically half
Of the first forty" per cent were in
such state of intoxication when they
arrived at camp that they created a
near fight and had to be taken in charge
by the provost guard, while many We're
in such hopeless condition that they
had to be taken from the train on
stretchers The draft boards have shown
such an apathetic careessness of their
duty that they have allowed more physi-
cally unfit men to 90 TO the camp than
went from any other New England state
Such is the record of the state from
which animated criticism Of Vermont
because Of its enistments in the regu.
lar army, although Vermont has given
far more men, per capita, to the mill
tary than Connecticut One thing at
least, is true; Vermont is not sending
DRINKS or the unfit to Aver, and its draft
boards are credited with doing their
duty in satisfactory and efficient way. [
1t will be time enough for Connecticut
to criticise its betters when it can think |
Of its own condition without bringing
bushes to the cheeks of honest residents /
Of that disappointing state.-St Adams
