So, 900 for Vermont

The Vermont state organization
has been completed and county
organizations are being formed to
receive and handle application from
the 100000 fund of the war work
council of the Y. M. C. A. The
fund, amounting to around $4,000,
will be Vermont's share of the
money which the Y. M. C. A. had
in hand at the close of the war, to
spend on an extensive program for
education and-training of American
soldiers in Europe. The sudden
cessation of industries and rapid
rehabilitation left much of this
work incomplete, and at the recent
Y. NJ. G. A. convention at Detroit
was decided to continue the
educational work among the ex-
service men now returned to civilian
life.
Ernest L. Rand of the state Y.
M. c. A. office. Burlington, has
been, designated director for Yer
mont, representing the Y. M. C. A.
in this work. He will be assisted
in the work by a state educational
service committee made up of re-
representatives. of the three chief
colleges in the state, the American
Legion and two members at large.
This committee is made up as
follows: Lieutenant Governor
Mason S. Stone. Montpelier, James
Hartness of Springfield, Professor
E. D. Collins of MiddIebury collegei
Professor K. R. B. NJ. Norwich
university. Professor F. B. jerks
of the University of Vermont and
Paul Kicker of Burlington, repre-
sentating the American Legion.

New Oil Well is
Doing 30 Barrels

The second well OF the Southwest
Petroleum Company. in which they
encountered oil on their leased school
section south of Florence a few days
ago at depth of 1850 feet, was put
TO pumping and is producing about 80
ba rrels day. a meeting of the stock
he lders was held in Pueblo and 1t was
decided not TO drill the well any
deeper. so arrangements were at once
made to rig IL up for production.
When the company acquired the
present lease. two producers, known
as the S. p. Smith wells. were taken
over, and they are now producing be-
tween 10 and IL barrels a day and
have been maintaining this average
for many years. They are both com
paratively shallow wells. The South
west company plans TO prove each
quarter section Of the lease and have
already demonstrated that two of
them are underlaid with oil. Their
next venture will be the drilling OF a
prospect well in the Texas field to
hold valuable leases and then their
energies will be directed 10 the fur
ther development OF their local hold
