EAST MIDDLEBURY
SHOWS HER SPIRIT
(By a Register Corrcspondent)

Last Friday was an eventful day for
East Middlebury. A detachment OF
Uncle Sans troops came to town, after
riding all day in the rain, reaching here
cold, hungry and mighty wet. Their
horses were too nearly exhausted to
go any further and the boys inquired
at the postoffice where they could get
grain and shelter for them A few
questions brought out the fact of the
case, that the boys had been without
food since o'clock Wednesday after
noon, their truck broken down and
stuck in the mud somewhere near Rut-
land, and no sign of food, dry clothing
or place to sleep in sight Then things
happened.
Doors flew open, stable doors, barn
doors, house doors. The Community
Club room justified its claim to ex-
istence by opening wide its doors and
inviting the boys to come in and make
themselves at home, which they did
gladly Tables were set and in some
magical way food came from all parts
of the town,-hot coffee, sandwiches,
baked beans boiled dinner, fresh toma-
toes, pies, cakes, everything a hungry
crowd of boys could need or eat. The
boys looked on in wonder and when
asked to sit down and get busy did so
with remarkable promptitude. Their
remarks were interesting to those who
looked after their needs. One of the
boys said to a companion, "Say, some
difference between this place and!
They got a big sign up there and it
says Soldiers and Dogs Not Allowed
Here! ,"
A few of the boys were entertained in
private homes, but owing to the fact
that they were to leave at daylight,
most of them were provided for at the
Community club room, hotel, Good
Templars' hall.
When the bugle sang out at daylight
it found men and horses dry, rested,
and happy. Hot coffee and sandwiches
were served and at $50 the troop was
on its way to Burlington with grateful
hearts toward the people of East Mid
dlebury

SUDDEN DEATH OF
ALLEN D. VITTUM

Addison County suffered the loss OF
her most popular band and orchestra
leader in the sudden death of Allen
Derby Vittuni at his home in the Bat
tell Block yesterday morning. For
more than 40 years Mr. Vittum had
been identified as leader or prominent
member of bands and orchestras, and
with a record of probably several
thousand public appearances he was
probably the best known musician in
this section.
His death resulted from an attack
of acute Indigestion with which he was
taken Wednesday night Although he
had been in poor health for several
months he had kept up and was about
the house as usual on Wednesday, He
had risen two or three times in the
night on account of the Indigestion,
and when getting up from his bed again
at about 2;30 in the morning he expert
enced a sudden stroke of heart failure
and fell dead.
Mr.. Nittum was fifty-nine years old,
having been born in Huntington, Vt.,
January IA, 1860, the only son of Lind
ley Murray Vittum and Caroline Der
by. His childhood was spent largely
in Bristol where he attended school,
and where as a boy he developed, self
taught, as a musician. From the very
first he identified himself with the To-
cal band, and subsequently for many
years he was leader of the band in
Nergennes. In his earlier days he was
also connected with the Middlebury
band, then under leadership of Joseph
Cobb, and when he and his family NOV
ed here from Vergennes in 1908 he be-
came again identified with the Middle
bury band and also with the college
band and orchestra, in all of which
organizations he was the most enthus-
iastic promoter. His favorite instru-
ment was the clarinet. Most recently
he has been leader of what has been
widely known as Vittum's Orchestra,
with his daughter, Mrs. H. L. Cushman,
Robert Calhoun, Kenneth Gorham and
Mrs. Paul Morgan associated with him
Only recently Mr.. Vittum had been
heard to remark that he attributed his
i'll health largely to his keeping irregu-
lar hours, which came from his many
engagements to play at late dances and
entertainments, for he was usually will
ing to do everything that was possible
to make his functions a success, how
ever late it kept him. He had also
recalled that during his musical ca
reer he had probably appeared with
practically every band in Vermont, and
with many Of them in other New Eng
land states. He had lifelong love for
his work and had taught many others.
Mr.. Within is survived by his wife,
who was Cora Louise Tufts of East
Cambridge, Mass, whom he married

COLLEGE HAS 400
STUDENTS PROBABLY

When Middlebury College opened
yesterday for its first year after the
war it indicated remarkable resih-
ency for it Game back" with the larg-
est attendance in the l19 years history
of the old College. The first DAYS
registration gave the college deans and
registrar one of the busiest days they
have ever known, and the figures in
dicated a probable total of just 400
students. If the final number does fall
a few names under this mark, it will in
no wise endanger the record, for the
largest previous attendance, which was
recorded in 1916, was 374.
The Register next week will present
a complete list of members of the
freshmen classes both men and women.
One remarkable feature other than
the large entering class, is the return
to college of many upperclassmen who
have received their discharge from the
service and who, rather than succumb-
ing to the temptation of large wages in
industry and business, have elected to
pursue their regular college work.
Among those who have returned are
the following: c. E. Bartlett, J. K.
Cheeseman, G. N. Christian, R. E.
Dake, w. B. Fullington, E. L. Lord, R.
Nudge, c. Stearns, J. B. Todd, G. w.

ford, L. B. Towers, F. E. Jewett, Viii

The Dyers Move to Salisbury

Mr.. and Mrs F. C. Dyer, who have
made their home in Middlebury for
the past IA years, moved this week
from the Starr homestead at Pleasant
street, to their own old home in Sails
bury. The Dyers moved here in 1911
from Salisbury in order to educate their
children, and with the departure of
their daughter Miss Marguerite Dyer
to Springfield, VT, to teach, and with
their son Carroll at Troy Conference
Academy in Poultney, they regret they
no longer have an excuse" to remain
in Middlebury, where they have enjoy
ed their residence for so long The diff
fculty of Mr. Dyer's daily commuta-
tion between his store in Salisbury and
home in Mddlebury, especially during
the winter months, was also an OBJ
stacle to continuing their residence here

House Burns in Brooksville

The dwelling house of Frank Powers,
situated in Brooksville on the road to
Vergennes, was totally destroyed by
fire about 1890 o'clock Thursday morn
ing. When discovered the fire was well
under way so that nothing was saved.
The cause of the fire is thought to have
been a defective chimney. The neigh
bors rallied but the fire had gained
such headway that it was impossible
to save the building, but by hard work
they managed to save several other
buildings situated near by. The loss
of personal property and building will
amount to about $4OO, partly insured.
