VERMONT NOTES

Arthur Platt Howard publisher and
editor of the Vermont Advance at
Burlington for two or three years,
and who later operated candy store
in that city, died at New Haven, Conn.
last week following an operation for
ntestinal-trouble. Mr.. Howard at
one time was Mayor of the city of
Salem, Mass.
The Vermont state treasurer up to
and including Jan. 10 has distributed
among those persons who went into
the navy, army, marines and Red
Cross the sum of 81 ,102 ,3O2.98; and
every day sees a few more coming
into the office, so that the limit is not
known and will not be reached for
some time, for there are still soldiers
in Europe whose cards have not
been sent to the office.
Roland E. Stevens of White River
Junction Vermont, chairman of the
Near East relief, gives out the state
ment that to the appeal Tor funds
but a small number of contributions
have been received, but that if a
greater number of people do not i'm
mediately aid the worthy cause with
their dollars, the Vermont campaign
will not be a success. "This situat-
ion." said Mr.. Stevens, SIS anything
but heartening. Vermonters respon-
ded so quickly and so generously one
year ago, it seems strange that there
has not been a more ready response
to the appeal Just made. Ihope to see
the situation change in the next few
days, for / cannot believe that Yer
monters will turn a deaf ear TO this
appeal.

 CHILDREN PRAISED
Artistic Merit Shown In Red Cross Contest, States
 Architect

Commenting on the Red Cross Till call poster contest that was conducted in the schools during the past several weeks, and which came to an end last Wednes- day morning when the committee Of judges selected the prize-winning posters, Hugh Martin, the architect, gave out the following interview;
 Tt was a very pleasant experience to assist in the awarding of prizes in the school children's Red Cross poster con test.
 Selected from hundreds of entries, very large amount of excellent material was assembled at the public library for the inspection of the judges; and it was very gratifying to find that 50 much real artistic talent has been deve.opeo in connection with the study of art III our schools.
 Three prizes were awarded in each of the separate groups of contestants, consisting of high school, sixth grade and seventh grade, the city and county scnIols both being represented.
 "rhe judges, in making their decision. had a number of points to consider, such as design, composition, technique, color, proportion originality, appropriateness, punch, lettering; and it was very pleas ing to note that many of these quail ties were in evidence to a considerable degree.
 Ut is clear that the universal hold which the Red Cross has with all classes and ages made the subject one of un- usual appeal to the imagination and mind of the children taking part in the con- test.
 ''I am told that even more entries would probably have ben made but for the fact that a number of talented high school pupils working at present on posters for the doll bazar contest. It is safe to predict some interesting results from that competition also.
 ''The Red Cross prize winning posters, and those receiving honorable mention, will be displayed in various parts of the city to assist in the annual Red Cross roll call, which is expected to meet with a magnanimous response in all parts of the community"
 Miss Della Dryer and Miss Carrie Hill, instructors of art, who were also mem bers of the committee of judges, ex- pressed themselves as highly pleased with the quality of work that the boys and girls turned out
