Fair Association May
Go Into Pig Business
Seriously Considering Proposition
Putting Pure Bred Gifts in the
Hands of Farmer Boys

What S a pig? Why is pig ?
What is the disposition and modern
desires of the pig? Should we fur
Their encourage and foster the domes-
tic development, or. should we let him
get out and root for himself?
These and other questions were un-
der consideration at a very lively
and interesting meeting of the County
Fair Association Tuesday evening.
A pig project of considerable di-
mansions was under serious considera-
ton, The plan is to interest the
boys and to give them an opportunity
to find out more for themselves by
giving them pigs to raise. No def
mite plan of action will be- adopted
until further information has been
obtained, when meeting will be held
to decide the matter. The opinion OF
hog raisers is especially desired.
The committee consisting of Ben
Dubois, Ben Dicks and the secretary
drove to st. Cloud Tuesday afternoon
and met with the county commission
ers. This committee reported pro-
gress, and possibly the county appro-
priation may be doubled this year in
which case $1,000 will be available.
The matter Of livestock pavilion
was also discussed at length. All
present were heartily in favor Of the
project, the question being if such a
project could be carried through this
year. Tentative plans have been
made and are in the hands Of the
secretary. This matter will receive
further consideration at the next
meeting.

CELEBRATION WILL
Be WORTH While
PLANS IN THE MAKING FOR BIG
TIME IN SACK CENTRE
JULY FIFTH
PROGRAM WILL BE VARIED
AMERICAN LEGION AND ROD
AND GUN CLUB ARE IN
CHARGE

At saite largely attended meet
ing ct the business men held at the
Commercial Club rooms Friday seven-
ing gener;.l plans were outlined FIR
the monster Fourth of July celebra-
ton to be held in Sank Centre, Mon
day, July fifth.
Sank Centre has not celebrated for
"a ra,rnher of years, aul conditions
seem to be favorable for a splendid
celebration this year.
AS before stated in the Herald the
celebration will be conducted by the
Robert Swift Post of the American
Legion, and the Sank Centre Rod and
Gun Club.
Every stand, every amusement and
every race or contest will be SUPER
vised by these two organizations. i q
1t is just little early yet to state
definitely just what amusement pro-
gram will be. At the meeting of the
Fair Association Tuesday evening the
grounds and buildings were turned
over to the two organizations for the
celebration. .
There will likely be horse race or
two, with farmers green horses az
the entries; there will probably be
motorcycle races, and it is a moral
certainty there will be red hot ball
game for substantial purse.
The parade in the forenoon will Be-
devoted entirely to automobiles and
trucks, with cash prizes for the
handsomest car. A feature of the
morning program will be the singing
by a chorus Of 800 voices from the
Home School for Girls. This viii
take place outdoors, corner Third and
Main street.
There will also be speaking and
musical program at the Junior high
school auditorium. The orator has
not been definitely decided upon.
Supt. J.. C. West has been commits
stoned to secure the speaker.
Of course there will be races and
contests of various sorts for sub
stantial cash prizes. These will like
ly be pulled off on the streets.
The big dance at Dreamland paw
lion, a corking show at the Caughren
theatre and some snappy fireworks
will make the day well worth while
in Sank Centre. The Herald will
keep the public informed as to plans
as fast as they are completed.
At Friday evenings meeting the
following committees were named
with authority to name their assist

The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1920-06-02

a,,y from an industrial standpoint we
find that many manufacturing plants
have seen the need of proper recreational
opportunities for their employees, but
generally these plants have been of larg
er size than those which are located here
and therefore we find Brattleboro lack
ing in this respect. Under the existing
conditions here it seems advisable to
unite all forces into one community pro-
ject which shall have as its objective
provision for the social and recreatonal
life Of the whole community. Such Il
community movement would not only be
beneficial to all Brattleboro people, but
would serve as an incentive for every
one employed here to make Brattleboro
his or her permanent residence and thus
avoid the all too frequent shifting of in
dustrial workers from place to place !;
but of far greater Importance would be
/, the fact that it would tend to keep at
home our young people All of us know
| that one real test of any community is
whether its people, especially its young
J people, wish to remain or to leave be
cause elsewhere business, social and rec
reational facilities are better.
With the closing of the reception rooms
at the Brooks House and the use of the
Armory for manufacturing purposes the
last chance for social and recreationa
rooms available to the public has gone
Many times it has been desirable to hold
gatherings at the conclusion of which
refreshments are served. The Woman.
club has seen the need of such a place
repeatedly. Such building as pro
posed with suitable quarters for larg,
and small gatherings will meet this ncet
and be used by large number of PEG
pie.
There is a crying need for publ
gymnasium in Brattleboro. The valu
of such facilities as it would afford can
not be over-estimated and its far-reach
ing effects cannot be measured. Tn
gymnasium work of our schools has bee
handicapped badly heretofore and ma,
have to be given up almost entirely an
other season on account of the lack o
quarters for practice, to say nothing o
the impossibility of securing sutabl
: floor for exhibition purposes. The me

lens which it would be necessary to
consider in connection with memorial
building in BrattlebOro and these prob
lens are covered in the last section of
the report which follows:
With the foregoing general survey of
what has been done in other places the
committee directs it's attention to the
problem as it applies to Brattleboro and
submits the following:
The Brattleboro Memorial building
proposed is planned to be dedicated to
the community as a social center OF
service in memory of the men and women
from this town who were in their coun-
try's service. during the World war.
Through the activities which it will
house it is intended first of all to be
memorial which can De put to practical
use by providing quarters for the Amer
lean Legion, and, secondly, to be of serv-
| ice to the community at large for recrea-
tional and social advantages to all the
people.
Brattleboro's. Needs. In investigating
the needs of BrattlebOro the committee
| finds that this town needs
l. Reading rooms and club facilities

| 2 Game rooms for the boys of Brat
tleboro.
3. Game rooms for the girls of Brat
tleboro.
4. Club facilities for the workers OF
Brattleboro who are not otherwise pro
vided for.
5. A gymnasium for all of the PEG
pie, including boys and girls of the pub
lie schools and Parochial schools and o.
the high school.
g. A hall to accommodate 1000 PEG
pie, with stage equipment.
I. A banquet hall which would accom-
modate 25O people, with kitchen facili
ties.

of the Civil war and Spanish war.

was the price paid by the church to the
Goodhue estate and which is 81 900 less
than the company paid for it. Offers OF
$4,000 or more have been received by
the Durham Brothers Co. When Mr..
Dunhams offer was made to your special
committee the committee decided to re-
port its findings at once in the belief that
prompt action would be possible with
such a desirable site III view.
War Chest Funds. Your committee has
learned within a few days of a balance Of
$i5,9lO.42 remaining in the treasury Of
the Brattleboro War Chest association
and suggests that the general committee
ask the association to set aside this bal
ance, together with what may hereafter
be received on pledges yet unpaid, to be
used toward a memorial community
building. This suggestion is based on
the known desire of large proportion,
if not all, of the members of Brattleboro
Post, No. ), American Legion, that what
ever moneys remain in the War Chest
treasury should be used as a war me
mortal for the boys who gave their lives
III the service of their country. Many
! Legion members have expressed the opin-
ion that inasmuch as the War Chest fund
was raised for war purposes and to helf
our boys who were then over there
and that inasmuch az Tie actual "
penses Of carrying on the war relief &C
tivities have been met fully, any balance
remaining should be applied toward the
erection Of a suitable MEMORIAL to thost
who never can return. Who are qualfie,
better to Judge of what would be thei
| desire for a memorial than their owl
"buddies' who now are members of tn
American Legion?

and women of the community also need
facilities for proper exercise which will
keep them fit for their daily tasks, and
these facilities can be secured only
through properly equipped gymnasium
There are many possibilities OF benefits
to be derived by forming classes IN some
OF the branches of gymnasium work, such
classes to be led by competent physi-
cal director. While the first thought of
a gymnasium does not appeal strongly to
the large majority OF persons at this
season of the year tie demand for such
a place during the long evenings of the
winter and early spring months Is I'M
limited. During the winter season it is
impossible for the athletic activities of
the schools to be carried on outdoors.
The winter months also prevent many
EMPLOYEES of shops and offices from get
ting any recreational exercise, and it is
tbe belief Of this committee that the rec
reational facilities would be used and
appreciated by literally hundreds .of per.
sons aside from the school children dur
ing the cold season.
Estimate of Building. While only
rough sketches have been prepared it i,
believed that a building covering th'
needs outlined above can be erected fo
$4,000 This provides for buildin.
erected in the form of the letter IT., il
which the front shall be 10 feet Ion,
and the sides 30 feet, while the vertica
stroke of the IT" shall be 20 feet lon
by 40 feet wide. The building would b
two stories in height of brick and &c
ment construction. 1t is estimated tina
the expense of lot and equipment woui
not exceed $4,000, making the tota
amount to be raised about 100000.
, Finance of Erection. In view of tn
, fact that this is memorial it SCENE
: advisable to the committee that the ereC
tion of the building be financed by por
= ular subscription.
/ Maintenance. Dependent upon I'll
: availability of its site, the building pr,
: posed should have quarters for the FAR
f Bureau, Red Cross, American Legiol
{ Woman's club, Chamber of Commerce, ]
c A. r., G. A. r., rest room, etc Rel

cept for the American Legion and G. A.
r. As general principle, the committee
is of the opinion that rental from quar-
tiers in the building should provide the
actual maintenance cost of the building;
that fees for the use of the gymnasium
and membership in the boys and girls
clubs and gymnasium classes should be
devoted to social advantages which
would come from the use of the build
ing. If the time ever came, therefore,
when the building was not used save for
permanent headquarters of existing clubs
there would be no need for public sub
scriptions to maintain the building With
this idea in view it is proposed that the
following statement of receipts and ex-
/ penditures should be as accurate state
ment as can be made Of the budget for
such building:
(The estimated receipts included a
system of membership dues for men,
women and children and possible rent
| ais which amounted to $4,000 yearly
while the estimated budget for ex-
penscs, which included manager, jan
itor, light, heat, physical directors, so
cial activities, depreciation, ete. to-
tailed, like amount.
