Kenosha Evening News:
The biggest need of the city of Ke-

ganization just like a Chamber Of
Commerce should be. One which
would bring together all of the men
and women Of the city who are really
interested in municipal advancem ent
without the demand for private adj
vancement Of a definite nature. The
city needs sacrificing citizenry
which would appreciate that the adj
vancemenf of the city. means the adj
vancement of every inhabitant. Street
car extension and the guarding Of grade
crossings are two first" needs of the
city. They are important and needed
now. There are a lot of others but
these two things, for one year would
make the Chamber of Commerce just
the kind Of an organization which we
hope it to be and which it must be if
it succeeds. The people are not de-
handing long line on things to be
done but they do want one or two de-
finite things done and done WE'LL

bringing his violin making to that
New Hampshire town. He gave up the
printing business some years ago to
engage in the manufacture of violins

reputation in this line, having twice

appointed by Gov. Coolidge on the
special commission to investigate the
vocational training of disabled SOL

gagged as instructor of printing at
the Lyman school for boys at West

for violin making from boyhood,
buying his first violin from Dub"

PRESS COMMENT
St. Johnsbury Firemen's Wages

Compared to other laborers the
st. Johnsbury firemen have been re-
ceiving mighty small wages, $21 a
week for 1876 hours on dutv looks as
though that VILLAGE did not appreciate
the faithful work of their fire laddies.
Chief Marden receives only $25 a
week, and from the line record he has
made in bringing the St. Johnsburv
fire department up to high state of
efficiency, it looks a penny wise and
pound foolish policy" that will not
grant him and his force a fair and
living wage.
