FATHER LEONARD
GIVEN A SURPRISE

The Federation Building next door
to the Register Office was the scene of
a surprise party last Tuesday evening,
when over 500 COMMITMENTS of St.
Mary'S parish crowded the building to
join in reception to their pastor, the
Rev. T. J. Leonard. The occasion of
the celebration was Father Leonard's
return from a two weeks trip to Phila-
delphia, and Washington where he had
attended the golden jubilee of Cardinal
Gibbons, and which was the first vaca-
ton Father Leonard had taken from
the duties of his parish since he came
to Middlebury over five years ago
1t was a complete surprise to Father
Leonard when he was taken from the
rectory Tuesday evening to the Fed
Grafton building and there found the
place alive in his honor. In the hall on
the second floor little stage had been
set, and on this Father Leonard, and
three visiting priests, Father T. J. Hen
ry of Shelburne, Father L. A. Vezina of
Vergennes and Father W. P, Crosby of
Proctor, were seated. After a short
musical program, little our-year-old
Anna Sturtevant, daughter of States
Attorney, Allen R. Sturtevant, pre-
sented Father Leonard with a bou-
quet of carnations and spoke sim
pie but affecting welcome Fathers
Henry and Vezina told of Father Leon
ards devoted work, and unfolded the
purpose of the gathering. Father Cros-
by after paying high tribute to Father
Leonard, made the presentation of
purse of 5000 which had been raised in
the parish Father Leonard was over
come with feeling but made hearty
acknowledgment of the delight which
the surprise gave him. Several let
tiers and kilograms from priests and alb
sent parishioners, were read. Refresh
ments were later served and the bal
ance of the evening spent in a social
way.

Addition of Bright Lights

c. o. Frost this week completed i'm
provements at his pharmacy on Main
street, which gives that thoroughfare
and that store an additional sparkle
of enterprise, particularly at night. The
window spaces have been enclosed by
glass partitions, and high powered cleo
trio lights so reflected as to make the
store the brightest spot on the street
at night The windows are being dedi-
Gated this week with an exhibition Of
some remarkable photographs taken Of
the fighting lines in France, and var
ious war souvenirs brought home from
France by 1t. Stanley V. Wright who
received his discharge last week.
Wright, who was with the aviation
corps, saw six months service abroad
and for the last month before the armis-
tice he was flying an airplane from
which some of the pictures shown in
Frost's windows were taken. He went
into Metz with the army of occupa-
ton, and the German spiked helmets
are some which he obtained there

Middlebury's Liquor Vote Past Three Years

Flying in the face of national pro-
hibition, which has been fixed for July
|, the town of Middlebury, through in
different interest of the voters, has mar
rowly escaped swinging over into the
license column for the brief space of
two months this year. 1t is by ma
jority of only one vote-cast at the
Town Meeting Tuesday-that the town
remains dry. Two votes would have
turned the vote into a "wet" verdict.
What such a vote would have meant,
is rather uncertain, for if license had
carried the day, it would not have taken
effect until May l, and it could hardly
have been put into operation before
its doom would be sealed by national
prohibition on July 1st.
The usual canvas voting booths erec-
ted at the Town Hall for recording the
decisions on the liquor question, were
not put up this year. The vote was
taken by an ordinary ballot box sys-
TEN, and it was evident at the meeting
that few voters felt much concern over
the issue, The polls remained open
until three o'clock in the afternoon,
after which the count was made as set
forth in the figures already given The
vote on the question of druggist Ii
censes was also close, l09 No, 107 Yes
One other feature of Town Meeting
Day was an effort on the part of pro-
testing interests to oust A. N. Brown
from his post as Grand Juror, owing
to his activity in enforcing Sunday
closing of fruit and candy stores George
I. Kidder was nominated for Grand
Juror, but Mr.. Brown easily won a re-
election.
The election of Ira H, LaFleur as
moderator to succeed James B. Dono-
way, and John Hammond as lister to
succeed A. D. Barter, were the only
changes made in the list of town off
GERS. About 200 voters were present,
among whom were thirty or more wo-
men,
In the absence of Moderator Dono-
way, the meeting was called to order by
Selectman W. N. Cady. After reading
of the warning by Town Clerk, J. M.
Burke, Senator Ira H. LaFleur was
placed in nomination for moderator,

AN INTER CHURCH
COMMUNITY WORK

The four Protestant Middlebury
churches this week completed with the
exception of few members, the organ
ization of an Inter Church Committee
which will seek to coordinate the COM
munity work of these churches The
committee will be composed Of 16 mem
berS, including the four pastors and the
following representation from the con-
gregations: Baptist-Dr H. L. Averill,
Frank Lasher and Prof Raymond Nc
Farland Methodist Willis N. Cady,
Prof M. R. Sanford and Dr. S. S. Ed
dy; Congregational-Prof. P n SWEET,
A. w. Eddy, and Mrs. George H. Chat
fee.
The Episcopal church, which will also
be represented, has not yet chosen its
members of the Committee. The chair
man of the committee is DR.. Averill and
its secretary is A. W. Eddy. The first
business will be a survey to determine
on what basis cooperation may best be
undertaken in the community. The plan
is one which is being carried out in
many places throughout the state, and
from experience elsewhere a general
program for work in such a community
as this has been drawn up. The local
committee will adapt this program to
local conditions and alter report on
plan of cooperative action.

Under the, direction of the Womens

interested are invited, a small admis-
sion being charged to cover expenses.
The freshmen girls will be divided
into two competing classes, with Mar
ion Crathern as captain of one and
Margaret Dickinson as captain of the
other. Miss Marion Cram, physical
director for women at the University
of Vermont and Arthur Brown, physi-

and elected without opposition. Mr..
Burke was also unanimously reelected
as Town Clerk. The annual report of
the town officers as submitted by the
auditors was, on motion by Judge c.
|. Button, accepted
The appropriation of town money
toward maintenance of the public Ii
brary, in cooperation with the Ladies'
Library Association, had been a mat
ter of some question last year, but no
opposition worthy of notice was voiced
this time. John E. Weeks declared that
assistance to the library should be Civ
en- as a matter of common welfare, af-
fecting every class of people, and his
motion that three and half cents on
the grand list be appropriated this
year as it was last year was carried
with hearty AYE" and feeble mo"
On motion of Allen R. Sturtevant the
sum of $125 was appropriated for the
observance of Decoration Day. Ac-
cording to recent custom, S85 of the
sum will be used for the observance in
Middlebury village and $40 in East
Middlebury.
The sixth article of the warning had
to do with the question of renewing the
lease of the town hall at the expiration
of the five year lease this year NJ T.
Butterfield moved that the lease be re-
newed for one year only, and that a
bond be furnished as security for pay
ment of rental Before the matter was
put to vote, Mrs H. B. Hagar rose to
ask that the terms of the lease be so
framed as to give greater latitude to
various organizations that desired the
use of the town hall for public purposes.
1t was the only public assembly hall in
Middlebury, and it seemed improper
that public organizations could only
obtain its use through negotiations with
a private lessor Moderator LaFleur
recommended Mrs. Hagar's suggestion
to the incoming board of selectmen, sug-
gesting that they draw the lease with
a view to providing for such public use
of the hall as seemed desirable.
The rate of taxation, under the sew
enth article of the warning, was moved

COUNTY WHEAT
FEEDING EUROPE
(By County Agent l. N. Bartlett)

(by county agent L. Ne DdItlelII
About two weeks ago a carload OF
wheat was shipped from Vergennes con-
signed to a commission house of Bos-
ton for export trade. This car was
loaded from wheat representing %
farms in the towns of Addison, Wal
than, Monkton and Ferrisburg, The
total amount shipped in the car was
1l02 bushels the largest lot ia bushels
being raised by Charles Reed of West
Addison The shipment graded No. 2
Northern Spring wheat selling at Bos-
ton for S2.36 IL per bushel netting the
farmer after commission, freight and
inspection charge had been deducted
$2.1l per bushel Two dollars and elev-
en- cents per bushel is an excellent price
for a carload of wheat made up of so
many small lots. 1t proves that Yer
mont is capable of producing quality
of grain as good as the west although
it is generally thought that wheat will
not be a profitable crop commercially
for Vermont after the government price
is removed.

as a class to organize and work to-
gether for each others benefit. 1t may
be true to some extent but farmers of

the old idea of everyone for himself.

Vergennes Goes Into "Dry" List

recorded Tuesday at number Of places
throughout the state, Addison County
had the distinction OF the only flop in
the other direction. Vergennes was the
only place in the state which is known
to have changed from wet" to "dry."
The vote there, in which the women
had conspicuous part, it is reported,
was Yes l72, No 1S9 The town de-
cided, however, to have a license of

The Country Preacher

There was a large audience in at,
tendance at the union services held in
the Memorial Baptist church Sunday
evening. Rev. A. W. Hewitt of Plain
field spoke on the Rural Vermont
Church" stating that there was a need
of the strongest type owing to the great
amount of work which they were called
upon to do. He also brought the fact
that they must be politicians, preach
ers, agricultural experts and friends to
all the countryside, and that in this
great extent of country which minis
ters of all denominations were failing
to reach might be a great source for re-
ligious leaders. He also stated that
country ministers should make one
pastorate their life work, as only in
that time could their real influence be
completely shown
