BOY SCOUT BAND TO GIVE
| CONCERT At HIGH SCHOOL
Collection Will Be Taken Up at
Central to Aid in Buying
New instruments.

The Boy Scout Band will give a
concert Tuesday evening at O'Clock
at the General Civic Center, Central
High School. The concert will be
open to the public and no admission
will be charged, but a silver collec-
tion will be taken up to buy new in
struments. Of which the band is
greatly in need.
The band started with but twenty
eight instruments. all of which were
secondhand. and those which have
been acquired since have also been
second or third hand. Much repair
ing and patching has been necessary
to keep the instruments in working
order. but now the scoutmaster hopes
that these. having more than served
their purpose. can be relegated to
the trash pile.
The band. which is said now to be
excellently trained and possessing
extraordinary talent, is under the
leadership of Scoutmaster James
Leonard Kidwell. He first organized
the band in 1916, and it was really
the outgrowth of a drum and bugle
corps which Mr.. Kidwell started in
1918. During the war the band was
called on to take part in many
patriotic, civic and charitable meet
ings and since the war it has had
many engagements in the District
and in towns and cities throughout
Virginia.

IMPROVED CAR SERVICE
SOUGHT BY CITIZENS
Rhode Island Avenue Postal Serv-
ice Extension Is Also Rec
commended.

Resolutions protesting against the
alleged inadequacy of the street car
service and recomme ending extension
of the territorial limits of the Wood
ridge avenue carrier service were
adopted by the Rhode Island Avenue
Presbyterian Church last night.
William s. Torbert presided, and
said that continual complaints were
being registered by residents of the
section against the poor car service
during rush hours, and with the hoi-
days close at hand, steps should be
taken to relieve the congestion. The
association also voted rs opposed to
any further raise in carfare. Both
motions were offered by K. P. Arm
strong.
In voting to extend the territorial
rier service, so as to include territory
west of 18th street northeast, it was
pointed out that at present much
mail addressed to the section west Of
18th street was sent to the Brookland
post office, thereby causing unneces-
the post Office authorities. in which it
was said the matter would be looked
into.
The association voted also to have
the Commissioners condemn land In
terfering with the opening Of Evarts
street from Goth street to Rhode
Island avenue, the completion of
which will allow a direct outlet to the
west to those residents Of the Sec
ton.

ments will be provided.

This means that the morning mail

ADDS ITSSUpp0RT
TO COL. EMERY
Assures Newport Candidate
of Undivided Vote of
East Part of State

The Barre Times, one Of the
strongest and best edited papers Of
the State, has declared itself in favor
Of Curtis s. Emery Of Newport, as
the best man available for the next
Governor of Vermont. In forceful
editorial it calls attention to MI.
Emery's qualifications and in con-
clusion says:
"These, then, as it appears to The
Times make Curtis S. Emery the
most acceptable man for governor Of
Vermont
The Caledonan- Record is pleased
to welcome this. strong paper to the
ranks Of Col. Emery's supporters. 1t
assures the Newport candidate Of
the undivided support of the Eaat
side Of the state from the Canadian
Border to White Rive. Junction.
Tho Times editorial follows:
In contrast to some state election
years in Vermont, the year 1929 has
thus early brought out wealth oi
material for consideration of the
voters as potential governors of the
state. In fact, there is so much am
such good material that the voters
may be somewhat pelpleXed as tc
what course they should follow in
order to decide the most acceptable
one Of the lot as the Republican
nominee. All four Of the avowed
candidates have some qualifications
that would commend their possessors
to the voters. There is the man who
has gained distinction in the field OF
invention and whose products have
been commercali2ed most success
fully. There is the manufacturer
whose energy is in large measure
responsible for maintaining a large
industry. There is the business man,
whose acumen is recognized. There
is the lawyer and executive man OF
attainments. There may be othe'3
to come, but we would be inclined to
say that additions to the list would
be supeIflous, so well blessed IS the
state with candidates already.
As already intimated, it may be dit
fcult for the average voter, not in
touch with the activities Of all these
men. to make selection Of the man

GOOD ROADS
ADVOCATED AT
\ CONFERENCE
Gathering of Caledonia Co.
Town Officers to Dis
cuss Highways

Hon. Stoddard B. Bates of Derby,
state highway commissioner, and
Marshall M. Stockcr of Danville,
district commissioner, met the road
commissioners, seiectmen and patrol
men of the various towns in Caledo-
MIA county in Pythian hall Wednes-
day for the annual road conference.
Several officials from towns in
Orange and Essex counties were
present. Mr.. Bates told the men Il
was the largest of all the conferences
he had held this year.
Mr.. Bates did most of the speak
ing but throughout the morning and
afternoon sessions he was frequently
interrogated by the men whose prob
lams we're discussed at the open TO-
rum. Mr.. Bates explained the various
features of the road law and touched
upon many interesting points in con
nection with road construction and
maintenance.
He said in 1919 the state had 1,51S
miles of patroled roads and the en-
tire expense of this work cost
$270, ,362.16. He expected that 1906
miles woul be patrolled in 1920 anc
he thought the limit had about beer
reached.
He said the bridge question was the
biggest problem the department had
and that in the past four years be-
tween $50 and 800 bridges had been
built in the state. He spoke of the
necessity of having strong bridges be-
cause of the increased use of heavy
trucks, and believed that the time was
soon coming when the roads would be
classified thf Z some. roads might be
protected from the traffic of the
heavy trucks. He urged the officials
to keep their bridges in good repair
as the town was liable in case of accl-
dent, and he explained the advantage
of having the planks laid lengthwise
on the bridge instead of crosswise.
He urged the selectmen to keep d per-
manent record of the condition Of all
their bridges and to have the bridges
carefully inspected He went into
some detail telling the officials pres
ent how the state would help them
build their bridges and urged cement
construction instead Of plank wher-
ever practical. The approaches must
be carefully guarded and he favored

DESIRE ID SAVEIS
 DISAPPEARING NOW
Bankers See People Returning to
 Exuavagant Ways

Tn" Hli(t habit. developed so eX- tonsively during the war by the sale of Liberty bonds. War Savings stamps ;md Thrift stamps. has, in the opin- ion of local bankers, disappeared to T great extent since the close Of the War.
 The local savings banks find that there has been 3. marked increase i'll saving deposits since the cessation of hostilities in November, 1918. The Savings Bank of New Britain in creased it's deposits by $1,500,000 dur inG the year 1919.
 Opinion of Bankers.
 Despite this increase two prominent NankCrS express the opinion that the thrift habit. although still retained to some extent, has not so much to do with the increase in savings as the high wages in effect at the present day. They say that people are get ting more money than they ever did and that they consequently save more, adding however. that they still spend money foolishly. or in other words. are not as thrifty as they might be and as the;- were during the war.
 The sale of War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps decreased materi- ally during the year 1919. Assistant Postmaster Munson attributes the large sales during the war to patriot ic motives. and this supposition is un- doubtedly correct. Large numbers of people still buy the stamps with the idea of saving and the average monthly sales at the local post office are in the neighborhood of s4,000.
 People Are Extravasant.
 The merchants of the city have, perhaps. a better opportunity than the bankers to observe the extent of the thrift habit. The clothing mer-' chants who deal in women's cloth ing state that people are more extra vagant in their expenditures than ever before. and believe that the cause is the period of after-thc-War proSperl- tN. They find that it is difficult matter to dispose of the cheaper grades of clothing. and say that the women of today. no matter what their station in life. will not look at any thing but high priced clothing. The best example of eXtr2Nagance was probably furnished during the annual Christmas shopping rush when the merchants found that the demand for ornamental rather than useful gifts had in no way aDated.
