try during the period of the war. Prior
to the outbreak of the war the granite
industry in Barre was employing its
usual number of men but when the
munitions plants began to turn out
materials and equipment for the allies
there was large exodus from Barre;
and then, after the United States en-.
tered the war, there was an acceler.
ated movement away from the granits
industry.
That detection from the industry
had not been made up when the 1920
census was taken on Jan of this
year, although since then and until
the suspension of the industry over
labor matters on April ? there had
been quite a steady return of people
TO the city.
Montpelier likewise suffered in thn
loss of granite workers during the war
period. the numerical loss in that city

GOING STRONG

An army of more than a million
men and women, boys and girls. is
putting over" the Fourth Roll Call
of the American Red Cross in the
Lake Division-Ohio. Indiana and
Kentucky.
This great body OF workers in
cludes members of 500 active Red
Cross chapters in the three states,
boys and girls OF the Junior Red
Cross, Boy Scouts, thousands OF
American Legion men and members
of many business and civic organic
ations.
Reports to Lake Division head
quarters in Cleveland indicate that
last years membership will be far
out-distanced and the present goal
of 100000 will be easily reached.
Orders for 1921 membership but
tons and other supplies have swamp
ed Fourth Roll Call headquarters.
Before the supply of buttons was ex-
hausted, making necessary S. o. S.
calls to other divisions, 100000
had been sent out to chapters.
The printing plant at division
headquarters has engaged an extra
force to supply emergency orders
for receipts as a result of underes-
timation of Lake Divisions response
in the Roll Call.
In a number of cities Red Cross
women workers are enrolling mem
bers on the street cars while automo-
bile enrolment booths are being util
lied in many rural communities.
