THE PROPOSED HEALTH RESEARCH
IN THE BARRE GRANITE
INDUSTRY.

1t goes without saying that the people
of Barre and vicinity are intensely in
terested in the efforts of any reputable
organization toward the elimination Of
tuberculosis, disease which is annually
taking off more people of this vicinity
than any other barring, of course, such
a disease as influenza, which runs in cpl
demic form and which exacted a terrible
toll during the latter months Of 1918
tuberculosis is called an occupational
disease, with the granite industry having
a high position in the rate of mortality
1t is perhaps the worst dust industry as
far as the development of lung trouble is
concerned. This is generally recognized
not only by statisticians but by those
who have no more than casual observa.
ton Of the ravages Of the disease; and
the general recognition of that fact has
resulted in much experimentation to get
rid Of the dust as the probable producer
of tuberculosis, These experiments have
perhaps, resulted in some relief from the
dust evil but they have not tended great
ly to lessen the amount of tuberculosis
nor to cut down the death rate from that
disease. 1t is evident, therefore, that
some more deep-seated research will be
necessary in order to get at the basis of
the trouble and to devise means in which
the root of the evil can be wiped out.
Such research is now projected by
the National tuberculosis association, an
organization of repute and high standing
in the medical world and which is known
to be working for the high purpose Of
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1919-08-05

eliminating tuberculosis, if such be pos.
sible This National tuberculosis asso-
citation has decided to make thorough
staldy cf the so-called dust industries Of
the United States and to get at the basis
of the development of tuberculosis
through occupation in those industries.
The granite industry happens to be the
first of the industries TO be investigated,
and Barre is the place where that re-
search is to be centered, Later on, sim
liar Investigations will probably be made
in other granite centers; and still later,
other industries of the country will be
mad the subject Of study. But as the
research is to be most thorough, all the
efforts and all the money at the com
mand of the organization will be directed
toward the granite industry and to that
industry as centered in Barre.
Barre people win welcome this inves-
tigation most heartily, for the research
will be conducted along sane lines, with.
out sensationaism and without resort to
bizarre methods The National Tuber-
culosis association is after the facts, not
after self -aggrandizement, and its work
will be conducted in calm, conservative
fashion. It will be matter of fact in
vestigation and the people Of Barre and
vicinity win be asked to contribute their
information in a atter-of-fsct way.
The entire industry, from quarrying to
finishing of granite, will be investigated
in order to determine just wherein the
hazard from tuberculosis arises In
carrying out this investigation it will be
necessary that the people and the organ.
izations of Barre lend all the co-opera-
ton at their command in order that the
research may be thorough. 1t will be
well for the organizations Of the employ
ers and the union organizations to take
immediate steps toward placing their
services at the disposal of the National
tuberculosis association and through
them to encourage each individual to
convey the information that is needed to
make the canvass of the situation COM
plete 1t should be carried in mind that
the individual cases in this research are
not to be published broadcast but that
each ones record is necessary for the in
vestigators to gain proper perspective
of the granite industry as a whole. Let
the information be freely given. If there
is a chance thereby to eliminate or re-
duee tuberculosis in Barre let us cooper
ate to the extent of our ability.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A Man Making a Real Farm.

Editor of the Barre Times: A man
bought farm of about hundred acres
little over year ago near Waits Riv-
er, Vt. This farm, like many of the
farms in central Vermont, was what is
called rundown farm"
The house and the buildings were in
need of repairs and paint the fences
were poor or none at all, and brush lined
the fences for from two to ten feet on
each side, or covered the places where
the fences ought TO be. Some pieces of
the lower meadow had been cleaned of
stones many years ago, but much Of
the land was stony and in need OF fertil-
izer
This man in an unassuming way be-
gan to improve his farm. Within year
he had cleared away the brush and re-
paired or built new fences about his
whole farm. Being forehanded he is al
ways ahead with his work He does not
waste any time for as soon as he COM
pletes one piece of work he finds an
other and sets to work at it. Yester-
day as ! passed his place he sat on a
large boulder on the hillside drilling
holes into the boulder so that it might
be blasted into smaller pieces for re-
moyal. Around him were 20 or 30 bould-
ers that he had ready to be removed.
He told me that he had finished haying
but liked to be doing something and look
ing around over the hillside with It's
scores of boulders cropping out, he said
"There won't be many of these left when
snow flies"
asked him If he ever went hunting
or fishing With an expression chayac-
terrific to his locality he replied that he
had &c time to hunt and fish. He add
cd, hywever, shat he believed in some
recreation. No doubt this man will 90
on improving his farm. His example will
be followed by his neighbors till the
farms in that neighborhood win look
more like the farms Of the prosperous
days of so years ago.
Here is one man who works because
he likes it, Such a man makes good
citizen. And, though.he may fill very
humble place in life, his satisfaction
must be great for he accomplishes what
he sets out to do, and does it 60 the best
of his ability. F. H. c,

VIOLATED THEIR PAROLE.
Brattleboro Man and Woman Alleged to
Have Gone Away Together.

Brattleboro, Aug. Bert c. Mundell
and Mrs. Tena M. Stratton are again
before the public eye, having left town,
according to the officers, and on Satur-
day afternoon the chief of police of
Springfield, Mass, was notified by
States Attorney +, w. Gibson of Brat
tleboro that Mundell and Mrs. Stratton
wife of John NJ. Stratton, had violated
the terms Of their parole in that city
The couple left here several weeks ago
and were traced to Springfield, where
they were arrested in a rooming house,
and they were released on parole and
returned home. Since then their conduct
has been such as to attract public at
tention.
Chief Of Police George Wilson has
made some inquiries as to the couple and
has been informed by railroad conduc-
tor that they went by train at least as
far north as Claremont, N. H., and il is
States Attorney Gibson's opinion that
they were headed for Canada.
Mrs. Mundell says she has no reason
to think they have not gone away to-
gether, and she has brought suit against
Mundell for separate maintenance, nam
ing Tena NJ. Stratton as correspondent.
She sets up that her maiden name
was Marion NJ. Bassett and that they
were married in Newfane by Rev. Mr..
Davies Aug. 20, 1903.
Mrs. Munsell asks for temporary ali
mony and money with which to prose

seeks, A hearing on the question of ali
mony is set for this afternoon before

THE NEW HEAD OF THE UNIvER
SITY OF VERMONT.

The election of Guy W. Bailey as act
ing head of the University of Vermont
brings to that important position a man
of close association with the university
and Of considerable experience in public
life of Vermont. Acting President Bailey
was graduated from the institution in
1900 with the degree of bachelor of arts
and with evidence of eXcelling scholar
ship in the shape Of special honors in
Greek. The next IS years were used in
the practice of the legal profession and
in official life, he having been a member
of the Vermont House of Representa-
tives, secretary of state and a member of
state commissions. In 1914 he was chos
en- trustee of his alma mater and more
recently was chosen comptroller of the
university with a wide scope of author
ity. He now comes to the position of
acting president of the university with a
good idea of the aims Of this particular
institution and of the needs of the mod

many qualifications for a directing head

meet with success in the development of
the university on solid lines.
