PASSENGERS
SNOW BOUND
FOR THE NIGHT
Mrs. Bernard Murphy Gave
Sixteen People a Good
Sunday Breakfast

The passengers and train crew that
were on the mail train going west
Saturday over the Lake road have
had an experience that they will never
forget as the train got stalled IN
Badgers gap, five miles west OF
st. Johnsbuly, early in the evening
and the dozen passengers and the
train crew had to spend the night in
the cars. AS soon as the train was
stalled some of the trainmen waded
up to their almpits through the field
to the home of Mrs. Bernard Muir
ply, about quarter of a mile away,
for provisions, but it was impossible
to get the passengers there in the
darkness.
Sunday morning the trainmen
made as good trail as they could
through tic drifts and all marched
Indian file" to the Murphy home
stead where the hospitable lady had
a big breakfast ready for 16 hungry
people. Among the passengers were
three ladies and little girl and all
were bounteously fed.
About noon the work train reached
the train and brought more provisions
and brought the passengers back to
St. Johnsbury.

LEGION WINS
in FASTEST GAME
OF THE SEASON
Defeats Snappy Goddard
= Seminary Five BY Score
of IS to %

The fan that attended the basket
ball game last night between the Am
elican Legion team ard Goddard
Seminary and did not get his moneys
worth, is certainly q sad case. The
game was one of the fastest seen in
this town, and the visitors showed
the best team work and accurate
passing on the local floor this season.
They also demonstrated that basket
ball can be played fast and still be
clean. 1t certainly would be one of
the best teams that has played here
to date up for another game.
The visitors were late in arriving,
hut as soon as they took the floor,
they made good impression with
the crowd by their snappy appear
ance, and after about ten minutes of
practicing, referee Boisvert called the
game.
: On the start Fiske got Il couple of
tries at the basket, but he was out
of luck. and then the visitors took
the ball down with good passing, and
the play ended up when Slayton
Gagged the ball for the first tally.
Then Holcomb got the ball on the
toss-up from center and took it down
for a basket for the second visitors
tally. Then Connor scored one and
was followed by Fiske for two bas-
kets, both of them being out of the
scrimmage.
Holcomb scored two in succession,
the result of passing by his team
mates, the passing of Slayton being
especially noticeable. After a few
passes back and forth, Fiske took it
down the floor for his third basket.
Slayton scored the next one, when
he had to jump under his own bask-
ct, he simply tapping the ball in.
Before the period ended ""'""nnb
scred three more baskets, while Con-
nor Tailed another for the locals.
Both teams showed the result of the
fast playing of this period, many of
the men being out of wind. The
period ended with Goddard leading by
the score of 16 to 10.
The next period started with the
Same pep as the first, and for two or
three minutes the visitors give good
exhibition of the passing game. Then
Conner got hold of the ball and took
it down for basket, "nd scored
again when he and Dumas took it
down, and then he scored for the third
time, getting out of scrimmage.
Tiskc then Gagged one and was quick
ly followed by Conner with one of
his famous clean ones from the side
of the hall. the ball going over one
of the steel rafters. Dumas then
got rid of man, by giving him ride
over his head, and got his first bask
ct. Fiske and Graham then each got
one and that ended the scoring for
the. second period with score "a to

member OF the junior class at St

Porter's essay follows:
What are the benefits Of enlistmcn

The benefits Of the army life arc Sc
many and so great that even The
simplest should be able to divine
them. The army is a Mans organi'
zation-hcre he can lead a clear

God meant him to be.
Enlistment in this life brings the
many benefits of travelling, which il
not only a splendid education but
gives a broader outlook on life. Army
discipline brings the great self con-
troll, and courtesy and even accuracy
The benefits which he receives from
the cooperative spirit are the good
fc!lowships, sympathy, faith in man.
kind, self sacrifice, and better judy
ment of the human character.
AS for the practical side OF the
army benefits, there are all kinds OF
work for every kind Of genius. Az
essentials are given free and the sal
aries, which increase with each err
iistment range from thirty dollars to
one hundred and twenty-five dollars
q month. One hundred and twenty
five dollars a month for the Injuries

complish such dividends in civilian
life? Radio schools, vocational schools
and even the music schools offer edu-
cation which will not only earn COM

later in. civilian life. Many prominent
men now, owe Large part OF the'r
success to the army training. L.:.
reference libraries are at the dispo ~
of the soldiers. These are used i'll the
schools, illuminating the
mind on every conceivable studi. Last
but perhaps the most preferable is the
insurance against the rainy day, even
the pension for ones of old age. Doc
tors and dentists bar away the fear
of illness-and reflect upon the gentle
solace Of ones old age spent in com
fort!
The army chaplain and his services
