Sanitary District No. 6

An important change in health ad-
ministration in Addison County takes
effect July |, when the state law pro-
vides for the division of Vermont into
ten sanitary districts and the old order
Of local health officers is displaced. The
experiment will be watched with inter
est. Addison County will become
known as Sanitary District No. 6, com
prising all of the county and, as an
nounced in The Register last week, DR..
George F. Edmunds of Bristol, who has
been local health officer in that town
for the past six years, will have the
opportunity of seeing what can be
done for the public welfare under the
new system. The field is a large one
and, considering the difficulty of travel
at certain seasons of the year, will be a
difficult one to cover thoroughly but in
this respect will not differ greatly from
most of the other districts.
DR. Edmunds will, in accordance with
the provisions of his appointment, en-
tirely give up his private practice and
become solely a public officer. This
condition in itself promises to result in
much good, for unincumbered attention
to health conditions is as necessary as
it is to any other kind of public bust
ness. and one need give but little
thought to the present situation in
some localities to realize the real need
OF sanitary work toward disease pre-
vention.
The law provides the following among
the district health officers duties:
Keeping himself informed as to san
itary and health conditions; provide
for prompt and official quarantine in
all cases OF communicable diseases
aid physicians of his district in making
diagnoses OF such diseases; study
causes Of excessive morbidity and NOR

He told me about everything. SO

first one.
On my way home met my brother.

Vermont's prestige in the maple sugar
industry is not likely to be swept off
its feet by the stories which are eminat-
ing from North Carolina to the effect
that that state is booming the develop
ment OF "the largest maple sugar section
in the world" North Cardinals plans,
however, are interesting
During the past winter Agent Hefner
of the United States Department of
Agriculture has been at work with head
quarters at Linville, directing the re-
vival of the maple sugar industry in the
North Carolina mountains.
1t is reported that last winter was so
mild that little sugar was made, but the
interest shown was good, and the pros
poets for the industry are bright"
A correspondent from that section, in
blowing about the possibilities says
that maple groves on the northwestern
slopes OF the Grandfather Mountain will
be put in condition as an exclusive sug-
ar orchard, and he declares that if this
is realized it would constitute a grove
larger in extent OF both the territory
and number Of trees than all OF the
Vermont woods put together, and would
develop the largest sugar maple sec
ton in the world
Good luck to the North Carolinians.

sap OF the naples

Well Said


"Ye are living Middlebury bulletins

If the above text is not in your Bible
write it on the fly-leaf, with due apollo
gies to St. Paul, and read it often. 1t

equipment OF every student of Middle

for home and summer vacation.
To put the same thought in another

ments OF a college, are the men and
women who represent it to the world.
lust prove the truth OF this statement
out OF your own experience, There were
doubtless many influences which led to
your decision to come to Middlebury,
but what one was the strongest: Was
it the long list of attractive courses
which appeared in the annual catalog,
or the photographs of hall or dorm IN
the illustrated bulletin; Probably not.
1t was a person; someone who by
qualities of character or personality,
by ability or intellectual attainment,
made YOU feel that Middlebury is col
lege that stands for worthwhile things
and turns out a worthwhile product.

to YOU so you will mean Middlebury
