COMMISSIONER PLUMLEY

Montpelier, July Charles A.
Plumley, who recently resigned m
State tax commissioner, sent final
report to Governor Clement last night
showing the status Of the department,
as he turns it over to the State, no
successor having been appointed. Mr..
Plumley made the following state
ment as part Of his final report:
Every cent of corporate revenue
due the State of Vermont as Of and
for the fiscal year ending June 30,

COMMUNITY SINGING

A very enjoyable session was that
of Sunday evening last, when 1T was
announced that it would be the last
Sunday evening meeting devoted to
community singing until September
at which time circumstances would de-
termine whether it be renewed for the
winter. The attendance was good and
hearty response to the leader was
made.
TAKE NOTICE.-All who own
Community Singing Books are re-
quested to bring them to the Fourth
of July celebration at the Far
Grounds. Special seats will be reserv-
ed for them so that they can sit as
body. The members of the community
singing committee who are still in
town, will be seated near the band.
Herbert S. King has consented to lead
with his cornet, and Miss jackson will
preside at the organ, and Mrs. Wyman
act as leader Of the singing. See pro-
gram for selections.

WHAT WE WANT IN VERMONT
FOR THE AMERICAN LEGION

The American Legion is veterans
organization. It's purpose is non-po-
litical and non-partisan; it will keep
alive the principles of justice, freedom
and democracy for which these vet
erans fought and will preserve to fu-
ture generation the history and Incl
dents of their participation in the war,
Remember, this is primarily an enlist
ed mans organization.
The American Legion Weekly will
be out July Fourth, and every service
and ex-service man in Vermont VIII
want to be a subscriber.
1t is planned to have the Vermont
State Convention in September, and
the National Convention will be held
at Minneapolis, November 10, IL, and
IL. As at least sixty per cent of the
delegates to the November conven-
ton must be enlisted men, and as en-
roIment of Vermont delegates at the
National Convention depends entirely
on our membership, it is necessary to
get the names of Vermont men on the
American Legion membership list at
once Cards are being printed and
sent to various towns in the State,
aifording an opportunity to all Service
and ex-Serviee men to enroll as mem
bs@s of the American Legion, whether
soldiers, sailors or marines. Il
1t is hoped that every ex-serviee
man will wear his uniform on the
Fourth of July, and so far as possible,
aid in perpetuating the principles for
which he fought.
Some Vermont towns have already
sent in application for a post in the
American Legion. Has your town!
Temporary Vermont headquarters for
he American Legion are at l39

THE NEW HEALTH LAW


Duties Of Physicians and Househ0lders
The new health law by which the
district health officers take the place
Of the local health officers in the State
became effective July lst. By its pro-
visions communicable diseases which
have previously been reported to the
local health officers are now TO be re-
ported to the district health officer ex-
cept in towns and cities Of over 5000
population which retain their own
health officer. Physicians attending
cases of communicable diseases, even
where the disease is suspected, are re-
quird to quarantine the family by
placing placard on the house and
the head Of the family with
q notice Of quarantine.
In families having communicable
disease without a physician in atten-
dance, the head of the family is re-
quired to report the case to the district
health officer and also to place upon
his house placard showing the name
of the disease and this must also be
done even where such a disease is sus-
pected. The quarantine will be raised
by the district health officer when he
has received certificate from the
physician that the family is in safe
for release.
Quarantine cards and notices will

Dear Charles:--
Received your letter some time ago
and was glad to hear from you and
get the news from my old home town.
At the time the armistice was sign
ed we had no thought that some of US
would see Germany. We had song
when out on hikes, which ran: "We
don't care for your bacon; all we want
is a piece of the Rhine" Rumors were
thick at that time. One was that the
tank corps would all be home in jan
uary and have big parade in New
York. But orders came through call
ing for all automobile drivers and re-
pair men, SO they began to rake over
our records and formed the 18th Pro-
yisional Motor Transport Command,
which consists Of 420 and seven COM
panies.
We left the Tank Center December
2lst ard went TO Dejou which is 40
miles from Percy. December 24th
my company went out to Auto Park.

January 9Th, rather worn out from
our trip, but the beautiful places we
passed through well payed us for our
trouble. After we came into the
Moselle Valley the hills were covered
for miles with grape vines. Now |

here.
| Our work since we came here has
been mostly on German trucks. And
they are sure some junk. Most Of
them have steel tires, and with snow
on the ground in January and Febru-
ary we had some time getting up hills.
We couldn't get any speed out of them
unless we took of the governors, and
if we had q long trip and left them off
the engines would heat and burn out
the bearings. So you see they are
cheaply made. One of our Liberties
is worth more than SO German trucks.

many paintings. It's about two miles
out from Coblenz on the Rhine river,
on an elevation Of 500 feet. I've also
had trip on the Rhine as far as
Bingen where the old Mouse Tower is.
It's certainly very interesting here, so
many palaces and castles.
There are few more places that |
want to visit; one is the old cathedral

GOOD ROADS To THE FRONT
An Effort 10 be Made TO Keep This
Important Matter Before the PespIe

An invitation signed by one nun
dred citizens from all over Vermont
has been prepared and is being ISSUED
for meeting TO be held at Montpcliei
on Thursday, July 10th, to consider
the formation Of a Vermont Good
Roads Association.
The invitation is being sent to the
known friends Of good roads in the
State. TO the members Of the recent
Legislature, the State and County
mombers Of the Highway Department
and to those who showed by their sup
port TO the recent Patrol Committee
that they are interested in this line Of
public effort.
The meeting is open TO everybody
whether or not an invitation is receiy-
ed and will be held at the Pavilion
Hotel at 2 o'clock on Thursday after
noon, July 10th, and will be addressed
by Professor Arthur H. Blanchard,
professor Of Highway Engineering,
Columbia University, who is also pres
ident Of the American Road Builders
Association and president Of the Ma
tional Highway Traffic Association.
His talk will be illustrated by stereop-
ticon slides. The organization feels
that no more interesting or authors
tative speaker could possibly have
been secured.
The object Of the meeting is simply
to find out whether there is senti-
ment in Vermont for State Good
Roads Association, such as exists in
practically every other State Of the
Union. The response to the efforts Of
the Patrol Committee which was
organized to secure action from the
recent Legislature has lead thinking
men all over Vermont to feel that an
on broader lines and with
a less restricted policy could do effec- |
tive work and would have general
support, therefore, about one hum
dred men, citizens from all parts of
the State have signed call for the
The new organization has no rela-
ton to the Patrol Committee neither
in program nor membership, except
that it seeks to use the awakened sent
iment it discovered for good roads in
Vermont.
If formed, the new organization
depends upon the cooperation of the
State Highway Department and other
road officials to create an effective
program for highway development. A
permanent organization is sought with
4 permanent secretary and head
quarters at some central location in
he State. Everyone in Vermont in
crested in good roads is invited to be
present to hear Professor Blanchard /
md to speak his opinion freely. ,

BOARD OF TRADE NOTES

Arrangements are being made for
meeting at Montpelier on July 10th, to
close the affairs Of the Patrol Commit
tee and on the same date there will be
a meeting for the purpose of organic.
ing Vermont Good Roads Associa-
tion to continue the work commenced
by the Patrol Committee.
The Patrol Committee was organ
lied for work during the last session
of the Legislature while the proposed
organization is intended to be q per
manent one.
The new organization meeting will
be summoned by a call signed by
lprominent men from all parts of the
State. The first meeting on July 10th
will be addressed by Prof. Arthur H.
Blanchard, professor of Highway En-
gineering at Columbia University;
president of American Road Builders
Association, and president Of the Ma
tional Highway Traffic Association
Mr.. VIM. A. Hart, who was publicity
manager for the Patrol Committee, is
directing the organization of the YER
mont Good Roads Association.
Manchester business men stood 10y
ally back Of the Patrol Committee,
and although our work did not result
in any beneficial legislation at the last
session of the General Assembly, the
campaign was by no means a failure
so far as results are concerned.
The failure of the Legislature to
take action has aroused the progress
sive men of the State to point where
they believe that legislators should be
chosen in the future who realize the
needs of the State in this respect.
Only fair day is necessary to
assure the success Of the Welcome to
Soldiers and Field Day at the Fair
Grounds on July Fourth. The event
has been well advertised throughout
the county and in many towns in other
counties and there is every indication
that the attendance will be large.
The summer hotel season promises
to be record one for Manchester.
This means prosperity for Manchester
as the tourist dollar reaches every
mans pocket either directly or indi-
rectly. Manchester is fortunate in
having both substantial all the year
Industries and prosperous summer
business and in being so situated that
neither interferes with the other.
