NEWS OF THE STATE
Interesting Happenings Here and
There From all Sections of Old
Vermont

Just before the opening in Brat
tleboro of the two-day sale at the
pavilion of the Purebred Live Stock
Sales company announcement was
made that at meeting of the eX-
ecutive board of the Holstein-Frles-
ian association of Ameriac, Charles
e. Cole of the Cole & Hicks Hol-
stein farm in Pawlct appeared and
admitted that the high records which
he had claimed as made by his ami
mails were false. The meeting was
held in Chicago Saturday.
Mr.. Cole had claimed at various
times in the past four years that his
cattle had made certain nigh records,
and suspicion was aroused when he
reported 51-pound animal. A re-
test of the animal was ordered for
the A. r. o. record by Superintendent
Gardner of the Holstein-Friesian as
sociation, and the suspicion was found
to be Unsuitable. The investigation
has been in progress about month
and it is understood that the meeting
| of the executive board last week was
called for the purpose of giving Mr..
oCle an opportunity to make a state
ment, and he admitted having made
| false records.
| At least seven records of more than
4O-pound animals had been claimed by
Mr.. Cole and this was the chief point
under discussion. Two of those re-
cords were of more than so pounds
The creation of a new internal rev
enue office for Vermont has given to
a popular resident of the state the
place of collector and the appoint
ment of James E. Kennedy of ESSEX
Junction to this important office will
meet with general approval all ovel
| the state.
Mr. Kennedy has been active II
state affairs for years. For the pas
three years he has been the Vermont
member of the National Democratic
committee and for two years was
chairman of the State Democratic
committee. In 1908 he was elected
state senator from Chittender
county and in 1910 represented the
town of Williston in the state legis
lature. ''
| Mrh. Kennedy was active in wal
work, being chairman of the executive
committee of the Chittenden Count!
chapter of the Red Cross and mem
Der of the Vermont Public safety
committee.
Governor Clement sent Mr.. Ken
nedy to the Highways Congress a
Chicago last December and the re
port he made attracted the attention
of all Vermonters interested in bette
highways.
The new office of internal revenu
collector will be located in the Fed
eral building at Burlington and it i
expected will be n operation within 1
few weeks.

A startling decrease of almost 80
per cent in the arrests and cases in
court for drunkenness between the
the month of July in 1917 and during
the month just passed 1919, is shown
in comparison of the total number
of cases appearing before Judge
Laid for intoxication in Burlington.
During the month of July 1917, AZ
cases appeared in court charged witt
intoxication. Most of them were mer
and few women, and no one seemed
to have been up twice.
Only five cases for intoXication, ap
peared before Judge Ladd during thu
past month and the same man appear
ed in two of these instances. Tit
per cent of this year is only 10 pc
cent of that for 1917.

The Hlndus and the Lotus.

The Hindus compare India to the
lotus, the petals representing Central
India and the surrounding leaves the
divisions of the country. The design
is much used in eastern temples and
architecture generally, and the plant
is cultivated in public gardens. A
pond in the TAI gardens at Agra holds
pure lotus blossoms.

PUBLIC OPINION
A DEAL.

Editor EVENING NEWS:
What | am about to say Is not only
my opinion but that of the great ma
jority Of the wide-awake citizens OF
our city. Perhaps tho respolsio
narties can answer the following ques-
tons. ,,-
FTRST-Why is there such a fuss
being made about giving $1,000 to
the men who returned from overseas
since Welcome Home Day? The money
was given by the people Of Perth Am
boy for the soldiers and sailors. Ii Is
theirs.
SECOND.-Did the men who went
TO the clam bake get $1,000 worth or
~"no-account" CLAIMS? Why n there
n norton of the money left for them
after the other men get the $lo'oo
that they r~ightfully own?
THpRD.-It is not true that the men
preferred a celebration to their share
Of the money. Our Mayor n n
Alderman and a majority of the ser
vice men were not in favor of the
clam bake and some of the ex-soldiers
and sailors did not attend 1t. Here al
so. 1 would like to state that had the
people of Perth Amboy known the
money was to reach each individual
service man as his just due. the Wei
come Home Fund would awe been at
least three times as large as 1t was.
Our neighbor, Woodbridge, gave each
man $1,000. They did not have to
| wait six months after their return TO
get 1t. nor did they have to beg for 1t.
FOURTH-Where Is h Justice In
not giving the teachers who had been
In the service their bonus of $4,000
this year? Did they not perform
their duties as well as those who re-
manned at home?
FIFTH-Why Is it that there can be
no extra money allowed for the Fire
men who were In the service? A GER
tain percentage of each company re-
ceives s12.00 per year.. This percent
age being chosen according to the
number of fires attended, the list had
already been made when a committee
of Firemen asked the Board of Alder
men for a sum to pay the soldier and
| sailor firemen their $1,000. Since
they could not attend fires while in the
! service, they should be entitled to the
money. Was the money given?
] On the contrary. the service mems
names were to head the list on the
| condition hat a similar number oil
iremen who attended fires should be
deprived of their money. These sol
der fremen feel they do no want
charity and therefore, will not accept
this one from the men who would
otherwise rave 1t. Why could not the
required money be added. Don't the
soldiers and sailors deserve n con-
| sheraton?
SIXTH-Lastly. why Is the exemp-
ton formerly allowed the exempt fire.
men no longer In order? Can it be
thar u City is too poor to allow Its
iremen and service mon both the very
small exemption from tax that should
be theirs
On the whole does It look as II our
City were giving Its service men q

FIGHTING IN TIE OPEN

Excellent work is being done in
this city In instructing the public on
the subject of yenereal diseases.
Through the cooperation of tho To-
cal Board Of Health and the Cham
Der OF Commerce with the State
Board of Health and the United States
Health Service an intensive campaign
IS being carried on and the open and
aggressive manner in which 1t Is be-
ing conducted cannot help but bring
results.
In connection with the publicity be-
ing given the campaign a free clinic
has been opened in the First National
Bank Building whore advice, consul
tation and treatment is given free of
charge. The importance of this work
is being more and more realized. The
campaign now on here is worthy of
the utmost support.
Venereal diseases, heretofore
spoken Of In suDdued tones, have come
to be recognized as one of the great
est menac to humanity. 1t was not
until the army draft made compulsory
an examination OF millions Of men
representing every city, town and
hamlet In the country that the au-
thorities learned OF the great hold
these diseases have secured on our
population. Secrecy was at the root
Of the evil permitting the spread with
little effort to check it.
1t was realized that venereal diseases
were something that no longer could
be handled in a secretive manner. If
the future generations were to be
saved the c~ontagion would have to
be fought in the open, and hat is
exactly what Is going on now.
All over the country the health
authorities are waging just such n
campaign as Is being carried on here.
Clinics are being established and the
utmost publicity Is being given to the
matter in order that the public may
be Informed as to the dangers that
exist in the prevalence of such
diseases. Every man and woman
ought to attend the lectures and pic
ture shows being given in the high
school auditorium for the purpose of
informing the public on matters that
they ought to know about. Men and
women are being taken separately and
there Is no mincing of words. This
is as it should be. 1t Is high time
that the people were awakened to the
true situation.
Perth Amboy is no worse in this
regard than any other place of a
similar size and character. 1t is to
the credit of the local men who as
sisted in the financing of the cam
paign that they were willing to back
such an excellent work and 1t is a
matter of qualification that Perth AM
boy has afforded such opportunities
as have been established here to fight
these diseases. 1t IS along the line of
making the city a cleaner and better
place in which to live.

GETTING STUDENTS TOGETHER

GETTING STUDENTS TOGETHER
City authorities, especially those
having to do with the public schools
such as the Board of Education and
the Board of Estimate. cannot ignore
the parents when they express them
selves in regard to school affairs.
Schools are maintained at great ex-
pense to the taxpayers in order that
the coming generation may be fitting
ly prepared to take up the duties of
American citizenship and become
men and women worthy of our great
republic. Therefore. anything that
the parents believe essential for the
welfare of the children demands the
utmost consideration.
In the request for an auditorium
IN tho grammar school. the Parent
Teachers Association of that school
have excellent reasons for their re-
quest. 1t was a most short-sighted
policy, indeed. hat permitted such a
building to be erected-a building in
which hundreds OF children were to
be taught-without a suitable place
for assembling the entire student
body. The same thing, in a measure,
applies to every other school in the
city.
Either these assembly halls should
be provided or the attempt to gather
all the children together at one time
ought to be abandoned. More than
one child at the grammar school has
been made i'll by being forced to
stand in the broiling sun for any
where from a half to three-quarters
OF an hour in front of that building to
listen to an address. patriotic or
otherwise, by some visitor invited
there for the purpose. When the pa
rents say in their resolution that such
a conditions casts a reflection upon
the city they speak truly.
But having learned from experience
the necessity of an auditorium or as
sembly room. it stands to reason that
Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-12-20

it would be very foolish, indeed. to
erect any more school houses without
such facilities. The plans for the new
school IN Hall venue provide for an
auditorium among other excellent fea-
lures and It is to be hoped that the
authorities viii not permit the plans
TO be altered in this respect, at least.
But once the auditorium is estab-
nshed it ought TO be made full use
Of by the student body. We remem-
Der distinctly at the time the original
auditorium in the high school was cut
up into class rooms to make room
for the increasing number OF classes,
what a demand there was, particularly
among the faculty Of the school, for
some room where all tho students
could gather together for exercises.
It was maintained hat the school
spirit had been entirely destroyed,
that the scholars were unable to get
acquainted with one another and that
discipline was lacking because of the
inability to get all the pupils together
every day for the customary exercises.
Now, with one of the finest audi
forums In the state, the high school,
we are informed, meets only twice a
week for ~so-called chapel exercises
and then a half hour after school Is
taken for the purpose, the pupils be-
ing dismissed at 8 o'clock ordinarily
excepting on the two days when they
go to the auditorium for a half hour
after thu classes arc over. In
short, the gathering together Of the
pupils In one body for keeping to-
gether the school spirit is made a most
perfunctory thing.
the first thing every morning would
be well spent in assembling the whole
student body in the auditorium for
regular exercises and for the purpose
OF knitting the school together as n
harmonious body. Without some such
assemblage It is impossible to build up
and maintain a school spirit and a CO.
operation among the students that
counts for so much in school life.
Every school ought to have In as
scmbiy hall large enough for all the
pupils where they may meet daily for
the interest of the school and the
welfare of the pupils as g. whole. The
grammar school ought. by all means
to have such a place for assembling
and there should be no thought OF
erecting such a school as is proposed
in Hall avenue without the auditorium
that is already included in the plans
for that building.
