Land for Athletic Purposes

The recently-formed Burlington Trap.
shooters club has lost no time in getting
into action. A meeting of the incorpora-
tors is to be held some time this week
for organization but meanwhile Is acres
of land in South Burlington have been
purchased for the use of the club.
Furthermore, remembering that the boys
of to-day are the men of Tomorrow, and
realizing the needs of those of the rising
generation who have shown the right
club has made provision for an athletic
park for the use of the Boy Scouts.
For its own use the club will erect a
club house and prepare a shooting
ground. with two traps. For the scouts
a small hut will be built, and a tennis
court. croquet ground, Junior rifle range,
baseball diamond and football field will
be laid out. The land which the club has
bought for $500 is located about a mile
east of the Williston road on the high
way to Essex Junction, and is about
two miles distant from the business sec
ton of Burlington, making an ideal hike
for the scouts and easy of access to
the members of the club. Five acres of
the purchase, which are not needed for
athletic purposes. may be utilized as a
garden. The estimated expense of fitting
up the property as desired is about $500,
in addition TO the cost of the land. and
some of the leading men of Burlington
are assisting in financing the proposition.
The club already has about 100 MEM
bers and it is the intention to give re-
turning soldiers free use of the grounds

LOOKING FOR BEST
TOURIST SEASON EVER
of State Black Tells
What Is Being Done Towards
Bringing Summer Visitors to
Vermont This Year - New
Publicity. Features

I'VE are looking for the best tourist
season that Vermont has ever SEEM"
said Secretary of State Harry A. Black
of Montpelier to a Free Press repre-
sentative Thursday evening. Mr.. Black
was in the city to confer with
Walter H. Crockett, State publicity di-
rector, in regard to the publicity cam
paign for the coming season.
we have had an unusually large
number of inquiries regarding routes
and hotel accommodations, and it is
expected that there will be many more
cars on the roads this year than ever
before. From present indications, the
registration Of automobiles within the
State will be about 1000 more than in
other years." said the secretary of
state.
Mr.. Black says that no radical change
in the publicity program over other
years is planned for this season. An
advertising campaign in the New York
papers is contemplated, explaining to
the people of that State the attractions
of Vermont scenery, the accommoda-
tons which can be secured for vaca-
tionists or summer residents. the beauty
spots of the Green Mountains and the
routes by which these places can be
reached
Another plan upon which the pub
!icity department is working is the
compiling of a booklet showing the
cottages at Vermont lakes and in sum-
mer resort localities which can be
rented or purchased this season. Fig
ures and specifications of all cottages
in every part of the State are being
collected, and those having UGH cot
tages for rent or for sale are requested
TO make il known TO the secretary of
State or the publicity agent, in order
that mention may be made of the same.
These booklets will be widely circu-
lated, and will serve both as an ad
ve~rtisement for the State and for the
people who have the cottages.
Something new in the line of publicity
is the Green Mountain booklet, which
is now in the process of printing. This
booklet contains detailed information
concerning every mountain of any
prominence in the State, it's height, To-
cation, general characteristics, access
ibility, range of view, etc. No book
let's of this particular nature have pre-
viously been issued by the publicity
department. They will be circulated
throughout New England, New York
and other States where there may be
a call for them.
