RED CROSS MEETING
Work Still in Progress and Workers
Entertained by a Number of
Speakers Tuesday Afternoon

All who attended the meeting of
the Red Cross at the Armory Tuesday
afternoon were priviledged to listen
to reports from a number of interest
ing speakers who attended the parade
at Boston last week, and who also
spoke on other phases of Red Cross
and kindred subjects.
Mrs. G. F. Cheney presided at the
meeting and Arthur r. Brooks was
the first speaker, reporting the Bos-
ton parade as he saw it from the top
of Hotel Bellevue. He then introduc-
ed /. G. Marshall, a member of the
after-care committee who told of the
work being done by that committee
here.
Miss Marion e. Rowe, state visitor
for Massachusetts and Vermont, was
presented and told of the plans of
the Red Cross in these states along
the lines of after care and home SER
vice of wounded soldiers and their
families. Rev. F. B. Richards spoke
of the work of the inter-allied
churches.
Mrs. Margaret N. Haywood gave a
talk on home service work that every
one should do for the benefit of re-
turned soldiers and their families.
She made plea that all who are
called on do their part as the need
is great, reporting as families having
called on this department and receiv-
ing help last month.
Arthur F. Stone reported that SOL
diers were applying at the employ
ment service for positions and told of
the different attitudes shown by these
applicants. He said very few ST..
Johnsbury returned soldiers had ap-
piled.
Rev. Francis Poole spoke of the
work of the local churches and clubs
in cooperation with the Red Gross,
with the Red Cross as a clearing
house, preventing duplicating service
in the same family.
Mrs. Arthur r. Brooks represented
the Woman's club whose work along
these lines had been through the dis
trict nurse, thereby reaching some
families that did not necessarily come
under home service or after care jur-
isdiction.
Following these interesting reports
the meeting was open for general dis
cussion and it seemed the concen-
sus of opinion that the calls for
home drive and after care work in this
town and county was still necessity
for sometime to come, since the SOL
diers of the 26th and other divis-
ions were only just beginning to get
back to the home town.

GOLDEN WEDDING
ANNIVERSARY AT
RANDOLPH CHURCH
Rev. and Mrs. Hamilton and
Family Formerly of st.
JOhnsbury
A FAMILY GATHERING
Rev. Mr.. Hamilton Was Formerly
Elder of the St. Johnsbury
District

The friends of Rev. and Mrs. JOS
eph Hamilton Of Randolph, formerly
of st. Johnsbury, gave them plea
SAINT surprise Saturday night in honor
of their 50th wedding anniversary
During the day the children of the
couple had all arrived, and were hav-
ing visit at their home, but the peo-
pie of the church, of which they
were members, had also been busy.
The church had been beautifully de-
corated under the management OF
Mrs. Mark 3. Morse, and her helpers
The raiAof the altar was banked with
green, and on the top of it was a fes-
toon of white and gold crepe paper
Back of the pulpit and across the
choir loft there was another solid
bank of green, which was also draped
or festooned with white and gold
paper while above the choir loft were
the letters of gold, 1869-1919, which
were placed on a background of
green. This was suspended over all.
The couple were invited to come to
the church and on their arrival were
greeted by many friends. The party
consisting of Rev. and Mrs. Hamilton,
and their children and grandchildren
entered the church to the music of the
bridal chorus from "Lohengrin" and
were seated in the front pews, after
which the Rev. r. IT. Moore, the pas
tor of the church, introduced the sub
! ject of the occasion and announced
that there would be a program.
Greetings from Rev. w. S. Smith
ers, also formerly of st. Johnsbury,
who was obliged to be absent, were
read by the pastor, after which Mrs.
H. j. Smithers sang "Silver Threads
Among the Gold,' quartette joining
in the chorus. A poem, composed by
one of Mr. Hamilton's first parishion-
ers, was read by Miss Mabel Hamil-
ton, after which Miss Marion Hamil-
ton, gave a solo, and her sister, Miss
Dorothy Hamilton, accompanied her
on the organ. Little Eelizabeth Ham
ilton, another granddaughter, sang a
song and then Rev. Mr. Moore in a
few appropriate remarks, presented
Mrs. Hamilton with a gold mounted
umbrella and Mr.. Hamilton with a
gold-mounted cane. Both responded
in pleasing manner Following this,
ice cream and cake were served.
Rev. Joseph Hamilton and his wife
we're married at Marshfield at the
home of the bride, who was the
daughter of the late DR.. J. @. A.
Packer, the ceremony being perform
ed by the late DIR A. L. Cooper. The
couple at once left for their new
home in Northfeld Falls, where they
made their first home together. Mr.
Hamilton was in active ministry ir
the Methodist church for so years
and since going to Randolph II years
ago, he has supplied in different
places. During the last session of the
Legislature he was chaplain of the
Senate. The children of the couple

Nearly 60 Men, a Banquet,
Some Speeches, all Got
Down to Business
ONE NIGHT CAMPAIGN
Two Local Churches Have Within
Two Days Reported Successful
Campaigns for Funds

In response to an invitation to the
men of Grace Methodist church to
meet Tuesday evening and enjoy a
social time and a banquet at the
church between so and so responded
and did justice to the repast served
by the ladies of the church, who
know how to do their part in any
critical time. This was a critical time
as the subject under discussion was
the raising of the $4,000 debt on the
church, as all were determined that
telling effort should be- made without
longer delay. Speeches were made
after the banquet by members of the
church and citizens of the town, who
were vitally interested in clearing the
debt from this church which stands
for so much in this community. They
spoke of the tremendous sacrifice and
courage that were shown in building
this edifice and expressed the senti-
ment that the church was big asset
here, and a powerful factor in making
for things which are good.
AS a result of all that preceded,
when the time came for subscriptions
to be talked about, and that was the
vital subject, and certainly was seri-
ously considered, for the men were
there for real business, over $4,000
was voluntarily subscribed in less
than As minutes. 1t may take little
longer time to secure the remaining
$4,000, but plans for this will be made
soon, and all will take hold of this
finishing up job" with more courage
and enthusiasm since such an en-
couraging start has been made. This
church has done wonderful work
for many years and their ability in
raising money for their debt and at
the same time carrying on their reg
ular work along all lines with ap-
parently no interruption as well as
contributing to many outside calls
has been remarkable. Not only mem
bers of this church but the towns
people in general are deeply interest
ed to see this church debt wiped out,
as it soon will be.

ON PARKING CARS
Local Police Issue New Ruling
About Leaving Automobiles

Chief Finley, who during the past
week has been tightening up on the
local auto laws, has decided to COR
rect a ruling made public in the Cal
edonian last week.
In regard to parking autos on
Main Street and Railroad Street, the
ruling that cars must be run into the
curb on an angle with the right front
wheel just touching the curb, still
stands, with one exception. That ex-
ception deals with cars standing in
front of the Please U theatre on Rail-
road Street. With teams and cars
driven up to the railing along the east
side of Railroad Street opposite the
theatre, the space is not wide enough
to permit of the same arrangement
on the west side and leave room fol
cars to pass each other that are Us
ing the center of the thoroughfare
1t is therefore requested that cars left
in front of the theater be run close
alongside the curbing, the angle plan
being in force elsewhere, on Main
Street and Railroad Street. On other
streets of the village, cars may be
left full along the curbing.
The Chief is trying to work out
the question of auto parking to the
accommodation and yet the safety and
convenience of the public and it will
take some time to get things prop
erly decided upon. The public is
asked to cooperate in this matter.

VERMONT AHEAD
Washington State Reported in the
Lead but Not Ahead of Vermont
on Percentage Basis
To the Editor:

4 " CuC IQlCOI
A letter recently sent to various in
dividuals in Vermont by C. V.
Vickrey, secretary for the American
Committee for Relief in the Near
East, gives the impression that the
State of Washington contributed
163 per cent of it's quota in the recent
drive and therefore stands at the
head of the list, Vermont being sec
ond with 157 per cent. This is an
error.
1t appears that for purposes of
the campaign the State of Washing
ton was divided into East and West
sections. The East section is credit
ed with 1853 per cent. The West sec
tion with 120 per cent, making the
total for the state of Washington 141
per cent. Vermont is credited with
157 per cent and is entitled to first
place The following letter from
Harry G. Hoax, director Eastern Di-
vision of Campaign Headquarters,
will explain the situation.
"New York, April %, 1919
Mr. Roland E. Stevens,
1st National Bank Bldg,
White River Junction, VT.
Dear Sir:
Your letter of the 18th to Mr.. Vic
krey has been referred to the writer
who has been absent from the city
for some time. We think your con-
tention is correct that Vermont holds
the record of the union on a percent
age basis. 1t happens that we have
treated East Washington and West
Washington as two separate states
which is also true of Texas and Miss
ouri but as a state Vermont unques-
tionably leads. We are greatly appre-
ciative of the splendid work that has
been done in your good state.
Yours truly,
/ (Signed) Harry G. Hoax.
