Community Services in the village park
was held last Sunday evening and that
fact cannot pass without The Register
expressing its heartiest endorsement OF
the effort our local churches have made
to get together in this way. 1t is our
hope, as voiced by DR.. Thomas in his
address at the service, that the platform
OF these meetings may be broad enough
so as to really include everyone in the
community.
Some of the things which DR.. Thorn
as said bear repetition, for, in picturing
what might happen when our boys come
home he opened up vista of commun-
ity service which ought to give us food
for thought for some time. The boys
will come back, he said, with their
minds broadened, with new ideas as to
the business and social opportunities
that the world offers. They will come
back declaring that there is no sight
as good as home, but it is probable that
after they have settled down they will
find things little quiet. We must
get things going in Vermont" if we
