Building During the Year Will
Show Total ofNearly 100000
Kings Products Company Erect First Unit of Great Plant
Several Bricks Built During Year.

The year 1917 has been one Of light
building. The cause is easily found, for
there are several reasons for it. Like
everything else it too must lay the prin-
cipal blame on the war. The United
States entering the war just as the
building season commenced caused con
servative businessmen to call halt ON
improvements. March opened with four
permits, but April which should have
shown considerable increase dropped
back to two, for the war had commenced
for America.
1t never picked up again during the
summer or in the fall when the heav-
lest building generally is done. Among
the new buildings that of the Kings
Products company was one of the most
expensive and at the same time of the
greatest Importance for it is but the in
itial unit of what promises to be Sa-
lem s greatest manufacturing plant.
The high cost of building material is

At the annual special village meeting
for election OF school directors, which
will probably be held next month, the
women OF Middlebury will make plea
for the election OF one OF their number
TO the school board, They ought to be
given more considerate hearing than
on one previous occasion when, through
misunderstanding, they lost their case.
By test, the inclusion OF women in the
membership OF school boards has prov
en- a wise move everywhere that II has
been tried II there is any argument
why they should not be recognized in
this way in Middlebury what is the
argument, and who is its champion'
The government Of our schools is the
government OF our children Women
ought TO have share in this thing
which is nearest their hearts, In seek
ing it, they ought not TO be bulldozed

stance above all Others, TO be allowed

THANKS FROM
THE DEEP SEA
MIDI Man Appreciates His
Many Letters
Anonymous Communication But A
Hearty One From A Navy Lad

Dear Friends;
! thank all those who have written to
me such interesting letters from old
MIDI, 1t Is nearly impossible for me TO
answer them all, for so many have writ
ten me that ] would need private Sec
rotary; not a secretary to read them,
for do that and enjoy them more than
! can tell you, but to answer all OF
them, So please accept this way Of
reaching you all with one shot,
Do you realize that those letters help
in more ways than one to cheer iel-
low after he has been al sea and in dan
ger for more than a month and has just
arrived in port and knows he has got
letter from the men OF his town wishing
him good luck on his next trip, And
that agreement to write us is great, too,
and | wish | had the time and place to
write to each Of you,
We made a quick trip and had no eX-
citement other than rumors that subs
were near but we remedy that by
sharper lookout and less sleep so when
we get TO port we are some tired,
We are now having moving pictures
every night after we leave the war zone,
and sing songs between reels You
ought to hear a gang OF sailors in one
big, low compartment singing songs OF
home and loved ones, sweethearts and
wives and il you don't feel different
you never will,
! have a lot | would like to say but
| feel as though it would not pass the
censor, but that is the fortunes of war,
and we all have them, but most of
them are shallow pocketbooks,
The pocket OF Uncle Sam may be
growing light but | know it don't on
the grub, for we have good pies and
cakes once in while, fruit also and
chicken or turkey for Sundays So even
if our watches are four on, four off, and
not much sleep, we do not go hungry,
Thanking you again, while wait for
a few letters after the trip and all dan
gers past, for ! know that union has not
dissolved while making service men
cheerful, | will close.

There has been testimony from many
sides that the Community Chautauqua
entertainments which were staged in
the large tent on the Middlebury Fair
Grounds last summer were greatly APP
preciated, not only by the people Of
Middlebury but Of many Of the sur
rounding towns, The tent was crowd
ed on each Of the five days and evenings
and from every viewpoint, except one,
this first Of the Chautauquas held in
Middlebury was a great success. The
exception was the fact that the guaran-
tors lost money largely through a mis-
understanding among the people as t"
how the arrangement stood between
the local guarantors and the Chautau-
qua Corporation. 1t is only through
the sale OF season tickets that the local
because of the failure to recognize this
fact, the seats were filled almost entire
y.
1t was only by good fortune at the last
moment that the local guarantors con-
fined their loss to comparatively
small sum
The elaborate program of entertain
ments which the Chautauqua is push
ing in war time is not open to criticism
The really crying need of the people
everywhere for diversion from the
tenseness OF the times is recognized, even
by President Wilson's own recommen-
dation of the benefits that the Chautau-
qua carries. In Canada, where they
tried the Chautauqua for the first time
two years ago, they went in for it
still stronger last year. The Chautau-
qua people were told there that after
the United States had been at war for
two years it would feel just as Canada
did the great need of good entertain
ment in the small towns.
With no Addison County Fair, and
with probably fewer other entertain
ments than usual this summer, the
Chautauqua should prove great relief
in the midst of the war pressure. The
program itself is to be patriotic in
many ways, not only from the national
viewpoint but in respect to community
life
The Junior Chautauqua which was
made less of in Middlebury than it has
been in most places, offers a fine OPP
portunity for an organized festival of
the children, and the various entertain
ments with music and oratory promise
to be inspiring in accordance with the
times
Middlebury was one of the last places
in the State to take up the Chautauqua |
idea, but if last years entertainment
may be taken as indicative of the whole
purpose of the plan, it is worthy of
hearty welcome this year, and founda-
ton here on permanent basis.

In reply to a letter published in The
Register last week over the signature
of F. c. Dyer, asking that senatorial
candidates should declare themselves
in regard to the prohibitory amend
ment, Myron w. Wilson, editor of the
Bristol Herald, who recently announced
himself as candidate, has this to say:
Mr.. Dyer's request is a reasonable
one, Liquor is a curse to the people
and now that the opportunity has been
provided us for securing nationwide
prohibition let us be true men and ac-
cept it. Many home in Addison Coun
ty would be benefited directly if the
liquor curse was wiped out. Our troops
are in Europe fighting for democracy
against autocracy. Liquor is a menace
against the prosperity and happiness of
this country. Let's have nationwide
prohibition and thus show "the boys
over there" that we at home are bound
to clean out the evils that threaten us
here while they are helping trim the
Kaiser. Get out in the open all who
want a prosperous country, free from
the liquor curse"
Mr.. Wilson has evidently been on
listening post"

voluntary but al! students over the
age OF eighteen will be encouraged to
enlist. The enlistment will constitute
the student a member Of the Army of
the United States, liable to active duty
at the call OF the President, 1t will,
however, be the policy of the Govern
ment not to call the members of the
training units to active duty until they
have reached the age OF twenty-one, UNI
less urgent military necessity compels
an earlier call. Students under eighteen
and therefore not legally eligible for
enlistment, will be encouraged to enroll
in the training units. Provision will
be made for coordinating the Reserve
Officers Training Corps system. which
exists in about one-third Of the col
legiate institutions, with this broader
plan.
This new policy aims to accomplish
a two-fold object; first; to develop as
a military asset the large body of young
men in the colleges; and second, to pre-
vent unnecessary and wasteful deple-
ton of the colleges through indiscrim-
mate volunteering, by offering to the
students a definite and immediate mill
tary status.
Later announcement will be made of
the details OF the new system. In the
meantime, presidents of collegiate in
stitutions are requested to call this mat
ter to the attention Of all their students.
Those who do not graduate this spring
should be urged to continue their edu-
cation and take advantage of this op-
portunity to serve the nation

will have your support and cooperation.
