Nichol, the original hard-luck guy of
the present semester at Pennsylvania
Dan played football during the last
season for two reasons and for two rea-

other Bill Hollenback. Dan didn't think
he was good enough for the varsity, but
the coaches did, and that's what kept
him from quitting In the early part of
the year.
After working hard to get into condi-
ton, Dan was all set for the first scrim-
mage of the season. In the first play
which, OF course. was the kickoff, Daniel
received the ball and when he arose to
run back to his position after being
tackled there was blood streaming from

play was over the blood was dropping
from his chin. Play was stopped until
he was patched together.

he was knocked unconscious for the first
time in his career.
In the, dressing room after the Dart

hinges on that knee, his right one.

he was brought up for examination as
he was about to be discharged from the

BOARD OF TRADE NOTES

The Bureau Of Aircraft Production
Of the War Department is in vital need
Of black walnut for use in making
aeroplane propeller blades and gun
stocks Black walnut trees are scat
tered through different parts of the
United States, growing in small
groups and in taking the necessary
steps to see that these trees are made
/ available to the government, the own
ers Of the trees have an opportunity TO
demonstrate their patriotism in a
most practical and effective way.
Owners Of black walnut trees can
write to the Ordnance Department,
Production Division, Small Arms Sec
ton, Washington, d. C., giving the
number Of trees and their location.
Through application of the Boards
OF Trade and other commercial organ
izations Of the county, it is expected
that an office Of the United States En-
ployment Service will be located in
Bennington and covering Bennington
County. Under the original arrange
ment, an office was established in Rut-
land TO cover the counties of Rutland,
Addison and Bennington, but owing to
its peculiar geographical location as
regards Massachusetts, and New York,
with nearby offices for registering of
unskilled labor in those states, il was
decided TO the best interests of both
employers of labor and labor as well
to petition Hon r. w. Simonds, Fed
eral Representative for Vermont of
the L. S. Employment Service for
registry Office in Bennington. After
establishment of this office, labor can
register when open for new positions,
such action being entirely voluntary
on their part, and employers can file
their labor needs with this office and if
engaged in essential war work, can
hope for some action to help the labor
shortage. 1t is hoped there may be
full cooperation with the government
requirements as regards unskilled
labor.
