there union which we had Sun

Many readers of the News
know that Orve Campbell and
Johnie MCGEE. are in the Army

is twelve miles from this place.
Both were'sevsrely wounded in
France, Orye was 4.rssed and
John was wounded in the foot by
a piece of shrapnel. Both are re-
covering nicely.
Well, we invited them to conrs
in to our house and spend the
day with us Sunday, and we also
sent a special dellvey letter to
Orve's Sister Cornia and she and
her husband came down from
Knoxville. and we had a most en-
joyable time. 1t is intensely in
interesting to hear the boys tell
Of their hard fighting'and mirac-
ulous escapes.
We don't know how proud we
oughtito feel about our boys who
have defended our country so
heroically.
l hope the people of Hancock

The Mountains, Again

The mountains look good these fall
days. They feel even better There
is good reason to rejoice that more peo-
pie are coming to know the mountains
intimately, and that the Green Noun
tain Club is determined to continue its
work OF trail building. There is no
lack of spirit for the work among those
interested in seeing the mountains in
this section made interesting and ac-
cessible to tourists, and what has al
ready been accomplished in the con-
struction of trail and cabin has been
well appreciated. This is evident from
the fact that the past summer has seen
the largest number of mountain visitors
ever known in this section. True, they
have not made themselves conspicu-
ous-but they have been here and
gone-gone with a good word for the
health and pleasure to be found in our
mountain hikes. Another summer will
see twice as many Of these tourists.

tain Club. known assthe Lake Plead

Athletic Council Meeting

Basketball was made a major sport
at Middlebury College Thursday night.
at a meeting of the athletic council.
The athletic budget for this years
sports was also agreed upon as were
recommendations for assistant mana
gers in all major sports.
Basketball which is Middleburv's
youngest intercollegiate sport, was first
started on this basis two years ago
when the Blue and White representa-
tives won the championship of the
State Last year. for the first time,
teams outside OF the State were met
and this year manager CAP Grant is
arranging a schedule which will bring
Middlebury against some of the best
teams in the east OF the 1918 team.
which was so successful, four varsity
men are back and with the wealth OF
material on hand a very fast team
should be organized.
This years athletic budgets includes
the following appropriations: Football,
$500; baseball, 500; track, S4S5; bas-
ketball SlS5; tennis, $50; and the Out
ing Club $50.
The following recommendations were
made for the assistant manager posi-
tions: Football, Noonan and Rother-
mel; baseball, Davis and White; track,
Lee and Pierce; and basketball, Cohen
and Noonan.

The Library Site

Editor of the Register:
Everyone must appreciate the sug-
gestion made last week as to the utiliz-
alton of the Federation Building for the
new library If not made over for lib
rary purposes that building should GER
tainly, for aesthetic reasons, be kept up
as a reminder OF the old days At a
time when discerning people are hunt
ing out and refurbishing antique furn-
iture for their homes there is reason to
cherish also our old buildings 1t is
easy to see that the Federation Build
ing was erected by somebody of refined
taste in architecture The lines bear
the same relation to the lines of our
modern buildings that genuine an
tique bears to the modern product 1t
would be splendid thing if it could be
preserved for public use.
Another suggestion which seems TO
me to have merit, comes from Mr. c.
F. Rich, namely that the new library
be built at point between the two
school buildings, fronting on Main stiff
the site can be bought from the School
District Corporation, and the proceeds
used for filling in and grading, public
benefit will have been gained-and with
no expense to the taxpayers
The writer of course agrees with your
correspondent of last week, that defer
nee be paid to the wishes Of Mrs Ilsley.

NOTED SPEAKERS
Why Doesn't Middlebury Provide
Larger Audiences?
Middlebury, VT,

Middlebury, VT,
Editor, Middlebury Register,
May l ask enough of your valuable
space for a brief but very sincere APP
peal to the churchgoers of our COM
munity in behalf of our Sunday even
ing union service? This service is wor-
thy of a much more cordial support
In fact l am moved to wonder whether
our citizens generally realize what rare
opportunities for inspiration the stay
at-homes are missing? Last Sunday
evening at Memorial Baptist Church
we were privileged to hear an acknow-
lodged leader in the Methodist denomi-
nation, man filling one Of the highest
offices in the gift of the largest uni
versity in New England. No one pes
ent will forget for many a day the m
preston of that great discourse. Yet
the seating capacity was little more
than half taxed, and the Baptist chutch
is one OF our smaner churches
When such a distinguished visitor
learns that the comparatively small
audience that faces him on such an oc-
casion is the best that four Protestant
churches can do of Sunday evening
it is not only humiliating to US local
pastors, but somewhat of reflection
Tit seems to me upon a village which
prides itself upon being a religious and
church going community. The writer
knows of a community near to the re-
ligious attractions OF a great city that
fills its place OF meeting to capacity to
listen to speakers of much less repute
than we are privileged to hear regularly
in Middlebury,
Now l wonder if our people general
" know that through the courtesy and
very kind cooperation of Middlebury
College our Sunday evening union ser
vice is to have in the immediate future
a program of speakers second to none
in the United States? l trust that the
list may be published in full in THE
REGISTER, and the Union Service
Fund might well pay for a weekly adj
vertisement in large type, giving the
name and position OF each speaker
The list is a remarkable ne,-college
and seminary presidents, bishops, sec
retaries, leaders-al of them-in the
denominations they represent, men OF
national fame in constant demand to
address our great religious conven-
tons We ought to pack our churches
to the doors to hear everyone of these
men,-and then bring in every avail
able chair! Not to do so would be a
living shame
"A Local Pastor
