WATERBURY,

Mrs. D. G. Jones, state manager of
war savings stamps, has returned from
interesting meetings in Brattleboro and
Rutland. From John A. Gordon of Barre,
one of the field secretaries for Vermont,
comes the following on the salvage ques
ton:
Considerable interest has been Great
ed recently in the salvage movement
due to the cooperation OF the junkmen
of Washington county. Over | 500 cards
have been distributed in Barre and Mont
pelier and this will shortly be increased
to about 1000 for the county. These
cards are to be placed in the window.
On one side is the word Salvage, which
notifies the man who gives thrift stamps
for junk that you wish him to call, On
the reverse side are the letters w. S. S.
which lets your letter carrier know that
you wish to buy thrift or war savings
stamps This plan will facilitate the
salvage idea and at the same time save
the housewife a great deal of time and
trouble and give her an opportunity to
turn her waste material into profit A
great deal of credit is due to Harris
Yeti of Montpelier for the success of the
idea. The junkmen who are cooperating
carry sign, i Give Thrift Stamps for
Junk, on their carts.
At the American Federation of Labor
meeting in Montpelier, the following on
the work will be of interest: Edward
+. McGrady of Boston, a labor leader of
national repute, delivered very power
full and effective speech Wednesday aft
ernoon before the delegates of the Yer
mont state branch of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. The theme of his dis
course was, industrial Democracy and
How to Secure It." He pointed out clear
ly and effectively that if the laborers of
this country wished for government own
ership of the vital industries, such as
the railroads, coal mines, and the pack
ing industries, it was necessary for them
to help finance this tremendous under
taking by investing their savings in
thrift and war savings stamps. This
would help to furnish the government
with the necessary funds to take over
these industries, and at the same time
would promote the lasting prosperity of
the individual Under suspension of
rules, the convention as whole consid-
cred and Immediately adopted the fol-
lowing resolution proposed by Mr.. Nc
Grady:
Whereas, the practice of consistent
savings has widely increased as result
of the various government loan cam
paigns incident to the war and,
Whereas, it is imperative that such
practice continue to increase in order to
insure the proper absorption of future
government Victory loans, and to pro-
mote lasting individual prosperity and
domestic tranquility;
Resolved that the Vermont state
branch of the American Federation of
Labor endorse the thrift campaign of the
United States treasury and we recon-
mend that members of organized labor
invest in thrift stamps, and we commend
to local unions the 800 United States
treasury certificates as the best and SAT-
est investment for the union funds"

OAKS SAW WASHINGTON GO
TO TAKE COMMAND OF ARMY

There are two oaks on the state
road in Sudbury, Mass, that saw
George Washington pass TO take
command of the Continental army
at Cambridge, These oaks were
made famous by Longfelow in his
"Tales Of a\Wayside Inn" says the
American Forestry Magazine of
Washington. One oak is Is feet
21s inches in circumference and
the other is II feet inches in cir
conference. The oaks have now
reached across the road to meet
each other, forming an arch over
the road. An age of a thousand
years is claimed for them. The
American Forestry association,
which is registering all memorial
trees in a national honor roll, will
send any reader of this newspaper
free detailed instructions on how
to plant trees.
