THE BANNER TOWNS.
Remington and vergennes Lend In
Sale Of Red Cross Christmas Seals.

Sale Of Red Cross Christmas Senls.
The banner awarded by the Vermont
Association for the Prevention Of Tuber-
culosis to the city or town of over 5000
population selling the highest number of
Red Cross seals per capita will be
awarded this year to Bennington, which
sold 5.4 seals per capita. Brattleboro,
which won the banner year ago, is
very close second, having sold SO seals
per capita. For the towns and cities of
less than 5000 population in class B YER
gennes wins the banner again by selling
six seals per capita. All of these towns
sold more seals last year than the year
before.
Returns from practically all the Red
Cross seal agents show that 1854 Christ
mas seals were sold in Vermont in 1917,
which is 117.79S more than the record sale
Of 1916. This gratifying increase. 1t is
stated, is due very largely to the work Of
thousands of health crusaders in every
part Of the State.
The entire expense Of the campaign was
$1OS.S3. In addition to this s65s99 has been
returned to the American Red Cross and
500 to the health fund of the Vermont
Federation of Women's clubs to recon-
pense the clubs for disseminating the club
Christmas seals and help the sale of the
Red Cross seals. The balance left to the
association for the work Of fighting tuber-
culosis for the coming year is $5.42S.32.
The greater part of this money al
ready is being used to establish and equip
the Vermont Preventorium where boys
and girls will be nourshed back to health
| by fresh air and good food, and their re-
sistance to tuberculosis and other diseases
increased.
The standing of the cities and towns in
| class A Is as follows:

ROADS MUST Be
KEPT IN REPAIR
Heavy Automobile Trucks Likely
to Require Strengthening Of
Bridges Highway Commission.
er Bates Tells Road Builders
and Selectmen at Meeting.

1T must be the maintenance of the
present roads, not only the State high
ways but the county and town roads, that
must have first place in the minds Of the
road commissioners and selectmen Of
Chittenden county this year." said State
Highway Commissioner Stoddard B.
Bates Friday afternoon to about 200
commissioners and selectmen in the city
hall, attending the annual conference,
FOR In these times we must keep up what
we have to the highest standard, and then
after that Is done what finances we have
left We can devote to new highways,
county and town roads and bridges. But
the present State roads, county roads and
town roads with bridges. culverts, ETC.,
must be preserved first"
The question of bridge maintenance
was one on which the State commissioner
laid the greatest stress, declaring that the
bridges would have to be strong enough
to hold UP this heavy trucks that would
pass ever them this coming summer, more
than ever. Railroad lines are to be con-
gested with out-of-Statc freight and the
in-Statc transportation must be handled
more by automobile trucks to relieve the
congestion. There is possibility of the
State making law that all bridges must
be made safe for Is tons and IL this is
done the State will contribute up to $500
Tor such bridge to the town, or one
third of the cost, but not to exceed that
amount. The road patrol system is to be
increased this year over last. There were
just 151 men patrolling LOSS miles of high
way. There will be some difficulty in get
ting the labor to work on the highways
this year and the greatest phase of this
scarcity will be the economic use of such
labor as Is available. Don't employ five
men on a job if three can do it in the
same time and just as we'll, especially If
these men have to be taken from agri-
cultural interests at the crucial times.
The main arteries of the TRANSPORTATION
lines must be maintained but the small
farmers roads must not be neglected to
do that.
There were two sessions Of the con-
ference or Institutional meeting, as Mr..
Bates was wont to call it, one in the
morning and the other in the afternoon.
At the latter session a question box hour
featured. During that time the road COM
missioners or selectmen who had any spe-
cial problem were given a chance to have
1t solved by the experts in road building
who were present.
