ing the most seals per capita. Both
places report that they have solo
slightly over six seals per capita.
In 1918 no seals were sold. In 1917
the pennant for towns of less thar

towns over 5000 population it was
won by Bennington with Sd per eau
tia with Brattleboro close with sale
of 5.3. No returns from Brattleborc
Bennington or Vergennes have as yet
been received and it may be that these
towns will increase their former re-
cord, selling enough to secure again
the leading places.
Windsor reports that they have sold
nearly six seals per capita and when
the final sale is over will go ahead OF
St. JOhnsbury.
The Vermont tuberculosis Associa-
ton estimates that the proceeds from
the sale of Christmas Seals will be
at least S6,OOO,OO0. This is $4,000
less than the sale in 1917, but in that
year one dollars worth of seals was
sent out by mail to every owner OF an
automobile in the state, while this
wear no seals have been sent out by
mail except where there were no local
agents. Therefore, the net profits
from the sale of the seals will probab-
ly equal that Of 1917.
With this money the association
plans to secure nurses, provide them
with special training and have every
thing ready to carry out the bigger
program for the prevention OF tuber-
culosis that is to be financed by a
drive which was postponed from Dec
cmbcr 1st to 10th to date in the
latter part of May.

Christmas Toys Made by
Manual Training Boys

For the past two weeks the Juniol
High school Manual Training SHOP
has been the scene of intense activity
for the boys of the first year have
been planning and making a varied
assortment of toys to be turned ovel
to MI. Marshall of the City Mission
for distribution among the poor chill
drcn of St.. Johnsbury.
Toys such as carts OF various sizes
running wheels, dolls ironing boards
bean bag games and ring toss games
games, various animals, to be drawn
about on wheels and some very SER
viccable sleds that would gladden. the
heart of any boy fortunate enough to
be their possessor, have been COM
plctcd.
All carefully made and inspected by
piece work then assembled and finish
cd in bright red, green OF blue, the
finished product might well put IN
the shade some of the high-priccd
though chcaply made toys offered to
the public this year.
The great interest shown by the
toymakels and their incessant desire
to work overtime after school hours
and some nights until close to ten
o'clock, dearly demonstrate the plea
sure gained by making and giving
gifts to those who are less fortunate
than themselves.
The school department co-operated
by generously donating all material
and SO helped to make this venture
the success it has proven to be.
Through the courtesy of A. W.
Scott Co., one of the show windows
of their store has been given over to
the boys from Saturday until Tuesday
where the toys will be on display ana
it is hoped that all those who are IN
terested in boys work will spare a
moment at this holiday time to ms
meet the handicraft Of the young
craftsmen.
The work has been done under the
direction of Leon H. Baxter, super
visor of Manual Training.
