Chief Finley's Request

It's no easy job to be a chief of
police in small town. St. john bury
has been fortunate in gettin. some
mighty decent men to fill that office.
John Finley, our present chief, in par
ticular has displayed none CT he
small-bored condescension that the
small-tOwn officer elsewhere is wont
to show in the conduct of his Office.
In all of the unpleasant things he has
been called upon to do, he has tvicd
to be a white man and a gentleman
and on the whole has thereby corned
the respect and good-feeling OF al
classes.
There are a lot of careless people
about the village, however, who nave
been Indifferent to many minor VII
lage ordinances that are q source of
annoyance and danger to the rest of
the community and the village tlus-
tees have instructed him to stop try
ing to get these people to come up
to the scratch by friendly warnings
Chief Finley in the future, there
fore, must go on the war-path and
use ugly methods where hitherto he
has tried to use persuasion and warn
ing. Autoists must park their cars
hereafter on an angle as it is done
in the cities, heading the nose of the
machine into the curb so the right
hand front wheel just hits the curb.
There must be no driving through
the village streets with cut-outs
open. Drivers must cut down to
reasonable speed. All vehicles, autos
or teams, must carry the lights re-
Quircd by the state law
This last is mighty good law.
Every autoist knows that our roads
out of the village are filled after dark
with all sorts of rigs carrying no
lights and many a driver has turned
a curve to see the balrel-face of an
old white horse loom up Immediately
ahead where quick wheel work only
avoided bad scrape.
Bicycle riding on the sidewalk must
cease. So must the cleaning of store
windows after nine o'clock in the
The women Of the town
have had enough dresses ruined in
the past by scattering water and dirt
when shopping in the afternoon.
Also there must be no dumping of
rubbish in the public streets follow
ing the annual Spring cleanup.
These are all just and reasonable
demands on the public and should be
complied within the spirit in which
hey are made. Chief Finley isn't
out to make unnecessary trouble. If
he has been guilty Of neglect Of duty
n the past, it has been due to his de-
sire to be decent and treat the other
elbow as he would want to be treated
There are those who do not
'espond to such method and the
must now go into play
The majority of the villagers will
,ack up the trustees and Chief Finley
n the performance of his duty and
IN the whole think as much OF more
If him for doing it.

DIVISIONAL REVIEW
Continued from page one)


in the review, three of the other New
England states being without their
state flags. In the car with Governor
Clement were Colonel Cooley, Capt.
E. w. Gibson and General H. T.
! Johnson. Governor Clement shook
hands with the men whom General
: Edwards decorated with crosses OF
war as did the other New England
governors. 1t is said to have been
one of the best divisional paradcs
that ever occurred in the New Eng
land states. Many prominent men
from the state whose names were
not learned attended the division re-
view.
General Hale in speaking Of the
decorating of the state colors said
the fact that some of the other OF
CARNATIONS did not get decorations
did not mean they were not entitled
to it, but that they did not have STAN
dards to decorate. He made splend |
mention of the 101st Ammunition
Train in which most of the Vermont
crS are members.
Among other organizations III
which Vcrmonters are members ana
whose standards were decorated
were 102nd Infantry, 103d Infantry,
102nd Machine Gun Battalion, 1914

places named in the orders in which
these organizations won their service
ribbons were Chemin DIES Damcs,
Toul, AiZne- Marine on two occasions !:
St Mihiel Salient and other sectors.
Nearly every organization in the tli-
vision getting citations for services
at these places.
One of the most touching sight )
was the deco; .tiGn of the father of
Michael J. Perkins of Co. ID, 101st
Infantry, who won his citation by
mcritorious service at Belou Byis,
Oct. II, 1917. Only one Vermont
boy was decorated
| Officers of the 1O1st Ammunition
Train Auxiliary are investigating why
the colors of the 101st Ammunition
Train were not decorated Tuesday
at Camp Dcvcns. 1t is stated at
the headquarters this morning that
colors were presented to the organi-
cation to be used for that purpose and
the officers expressed surprise and
anger this morning that the dccora-
tions did not take place. The Ammu-
milton Train marched yesterday with

The report was circulated around town yesterday that Bill ogden has been missing for some days, being last seen at a tie cutters camp about six miles below the Bartlett wood camp. ogden left Bartletts to go to the Banks tie calup, near Standard creek, an drested at the first camp he came to. SiLce leav- ing that camp nothing has been heard concerning him, his arrival al Banks camp not being noted.
 Ogden worked for the commission CT as a teamster some time ago and has been following that occupation whenever possible. It may be that he has accepted work at one of the camps between the place last seen and his destination or else he might have stopped by the wayside and became frozen as he was not a man of much physical strength. He has been missing about eleven days.
