SPECIAL VILLAGE
AND TOWN MEETINGS
Much Interest Taken and Matters
Before the Voters Were Fully
Discussed

The special town and village meet
ing Saturday afternoon were attended
by about i score of voters and the az
ticles relating to the exemption of
taxation of the Plymouth Creamery
Company were dismissed at both
meetings. In the absence of the mod
orator of the town and the president
of the village, Arthur F. Stone prest-
ed at both the meetings. At the town
meeting d. p. Coveny and A. F. Law
renee spoke briefly in favor of dis
missing the article. This was then
done without further debate. The ar
ticle to exempt the Farmers Co-opera-
tive Creamery from exemption from
taxation was then dismissed without
debate.
At the special village meeting
which followed the article relating to
exempting the Plymouth Creamery
Company was dismissed without de-
bate. After some discussion the
the village trustees were authori-
zed to borrow sum not to exceed
$4,000 to pay for the extension on
North Pearl street, the stone crusher
and the oiling of the streets. Charles
G. Braley explained that it would be
more desirable to borrow the money
than to try and negotiate a bond is

CAMr YESTMOREIS
GIRLS SCHOOL AT
LAKE WILL0UCHBY
Development Calls for an
Expenditure of Over
$4,000
CARES FOR 200 GIRLS
There Will be Erected 44 Camps and
Each Will be the Sleeping Quart
ers for Five Girls

Great preparations are being made
for the opening of a girls camp at
Willoughby lake, and this beautiful
Vermont resort will soon become the
home of several hundred girls.
The entire estate of Mrs. A. l..
Peene of Yonkers, N. Y, on the west
side, near the north end of the lake,
including the summer residence and
farm buildings, has been taken over
by New York corporation, including
men from New York, Pennsylvania
and other places.
The corporation has commenced
the erection of "A camp buildings the
contract having been awarded to A.
M. Stone and Son of Middletown,
Conn. Each of the "A camps will be
sleeping quarters for five girls and
it is understood over 200 girls have
already been booked for the camp.
The contract calls for the cottages
to be ready for occupancy July 1 and
the contractors have large force
of men already at work. The original
plans call for the development of the
east side of the lake between the
school house and the village with the
Atkin farm included. There are fully
200 acres of land belonging to the
camp with the lake front extending
from the outlet nearly mile south
on the west shore,
The camp will be known as "Camp
Westmore for Girls" and will be op-
Grated by the Camp Westmore Com
pany, Inc. Mrs. Anna D. Justis is
president of the company and will be
remembered as Miss Anna Day, a
native of Bloomington and for years
an enthusiastic cs nper at Willough-
by. Joseph F. Preston is secretary
of the company; Miss Laura Joll,
lady principal of Kings Hall School,
Compton, P. O., is to be the director
of the camp and Mrs. Helen Mcclure
of Miss Potter's school, Pennington,
Conn.,, will be assistant director.
The development of this camp calls
for an expenditure of approximately
$4,000, and the yearly expense of the
corporation will be large sum. This
development means much to West
more and that section of Orleans
county.

The Base Ball Team Play Good
Game But Fall to the Steady
Work of Lisbon

Lisbon played the Academy at the
campus Saturday in the first home
game of the season and came off VIC
tors by score of IA to 8. Lisbon
have the best prep school team in this
section of the country and have beat
en- all their opponents but the Acad-
emys new team made a very credit
able showing considering the calibre
of their opponents.
The game started off like parade
for Lisbon, the locals making sever
al errors due to nervousness and
committing errors Of judgment. This
dazed playing gradually disappeared
and in the last few innings the Acad-
emy team began to fight and showed
that they had the goods. With a
little more seasoning the locals will
show their heels to all the teams and
should clean up the rest of the schc-
dule.
Errors and hitting gave Lisbon one
in the first, two in the second and five
in the third. In the seventh they
picked up four more. 1t was in this
inning that the Academy cut loose
and clean hitting drove in four runs.
Not content with this, the Saints
maulcd in five more in the eighth.
Ellis whalcd out two two baggers
scoring men ahead of him each time
and Beck covered all the ground be-
tween pitchers box and the outfield,
grabbing several difficult flies. Ellis
was spiked in his throwing hand in
sliding to second in the eighth and
Lowell finished the game in the box.

ems in the box appear here against

the poor little children in Europe, the
youngsters were deeply impressed

one, George, was possessed of the de-
sire to give "show" for the Red
Cross in his tent. There was great
activity around the house during the
afternoon and most of the kids in the
neighborhood were in evidence, either
as performers or audience. About the
time that the performance was over,
Mr.. Werrenrath hapepned to come
upon the scene and discovered his
eight year old son and heir counting
the "gate receipts"

he asked.

Raymond purchased ticket for

Two weeks ago, in answer to an

time. He received his pay the night

There is little likelihood of many
excursions on the lake this summer
unless the government changes its
regulations regarding the charge for
mileage. At the present time the
Champlain Transportation Co. is
compelled to charge a rate of two
cents per mile with the war tax addi-
tional. This means that an excursion
to Fort Frederick would cost 80
cents in addition to the war tax. In
the opinion of many, this would mean
prohibitive price. In instances
such as that of the st. Joseph's or
phanage the annual boat ride is an
event in the lives of the children but
such an excursion would not be pos
sible this year under the present con-
ditions.
