FRESH AIR KIDS
SIGH FOR VERMONT
JUDGE DICKENS SUBMITS FL
NAL REPORT
Deficit of $1611 in the Care of Forty
New York Children for
Two Weeks

The forty "fresh air" children of New
York who were given the hospitality
of Addison County homes during the
last two weeks of August returned to
their homes on Wednesday of last week
with very lively appreciation o. the
kindness of Vermonters. Many of them
in fact departed from their foster par
ents of two weeks with genuine regret
and have since written of the gratitude
that they feel toward their benefactors.
The surplus of $l05 that remained in
the treasury at the end of the last such
visit of the city children to local homes
has been lost in the deficit of $l6.1l in
cidental to the conduct of the recent
excursion.
The children were cared for as fol-
lows; Mrs c. P. Smith, 2; William
Hartin, 2; Edison Brown, 2; Frank
Lasher, q Mrs. Sandbloom, 8; Mrs
Gashner, 4; Mrs. w. Turner, q Mrs.
George Stone, q Mrs. Gilbert Lafarr-
ier 2; Mrs Harold Sperry, /; in Bird
port, Mrs. Henry Steele, 4; Mrs Ray
mond Jackson, |; in Salisbury, Mrs.
Frank Rowell, 2; Mrs. George Muir
ray, 2; Mrs. George Whitney, 2. The
popularity of the girls over the boys
was "a to g. The fortieth child of the
group, little girl of six years, was
cared for in Vergennes.
Judge G. W, Dickens, who was chair
man in charge of the work of enter
tanning the children, has submitted to
its benefactors and the public re-
port of his office The judges final
message is as follows:

President Moody Welcomed

Following Secretary Merrill, the new
president of Middlebury college, Rev.
Paul Dwight Moody, was introduced
and received a hearty welcome. This
was DR.. Moody's first public address
as president of the college.
The first lecture of the course was
given by Dean Bosworth of the Ober-
lin Graduate School of Theology par
ticularly concerning God"
The Tuesday Sessions
Dr. Henry B. Wright of Yale college
spoke on Personal Evangelism" at the
Tuesday morning session. He stated
that there is nothing occult or hidden
or mysterious in personal evangelism.
The chapel service in the forenoon
was conducted in the memorial chapel
by Secretary c. c. Morrill,, who took
for his theme the incident of the wash
ing of the disciples feet as the example
of service possible to all.
At the morning service a telegram of
greeting was sent to Dr. w. A. Davi-
son, in charge of the meeting of the
Baptist ministers in session at Saxtons
River.
The first lecture OF the afternoon
was given by Dr. Vincent Ravi- Booth
1t was "A Meditation on Dante's Mys-
tic Song OF Redemption, which was
followed by the second lecture of DR.
Wright on Personal Evangelism"
DR.. Charles E. Jefferson of the
Broadway Tabernacle, New York city,
gave the address Tuesday evening, his
subject being, "The Work of Preach
ing" He claimed that preaching was
work. not hot air, just as much work as
hoeing corn or saving wood 1t is diff
ficult work, as difficult as music, art or
architecture. 1t is indispensable work.
There is nothing so important. The
minister's supreme business is to
preach. 1t is discouraging work; only
a portion of the seed sown comes to
harvest.
The Wednesday morning lecture by
Dean Bosworth was on the subject Of
Life" in which the speaker discussed
the man himself, the mystery sur
rounding him, and the influences up
on him to love and get power to pre-
pare him for a vast inheritance OF pow
er in this and the next world. Dean
Bosworth expressed the belief that man

The 1921 Fresh Air Children
By A, W. Dickens, Chairman

BY A. W. Dickens, Chairman
The fresh air children have come,
had their outing and are now back in
their homes SO far as can be learned,
there was not a case of illness among
the forty visitors. The reports of the
youngsters. without an exception, were
OF most enjoyable times. Many of
them suggested arrangements by which
they might return to the same homes
next year. The record for growth seems
to have been established by a ten year
old girl who gained eight pounds. The
appearance of the children-in more
ways than one-clearly indicated that
their stay in Vermont had been to their
advantage The expenditures for the
whole enterprise were as follows

Eddy of Boston last night on "Ameri-
cas- Place in World leadership" DR..
Eddy said that partisanship has kept
us out of our rightful place in the
League of Nations for two years but
that the disarmament convention at
Washington November II would give
us a second and final chance to accept
the position of moral leadership and
he believes that the people are now
ready for it, DR.. Eddy warned the au-
dience that we could never get disar-
mament until Japan was brought to

grasp of God"

necessity OF close touch with man as

in the ministry, and suggested that this

1t means that the work of believ-

To The Voters OF The City.

wish to state again that | an
a real candidate for Mayor.
shall not attempt to see per-
sonally all the voters, as consid-
er the voter tully as intelligent as
any OF the candidates and able to
make a choice for Mayor without
lot OF "hot al" from any can
didate.
The big reason why am can
didate is because DIR. Neville came
to me the day returned from tae
South and ask me 10 make the
race and let him draw off and sup
port me.
He insisted on me for eight days
before | agreed TO enter the race,
then | agreed and he announce his
Withdrawal and / was on and am
still on.
Two or three days later the DR..
Neville had some sort OF vision
and re-entered the race.
He promised esospe-t me with
his vote and influence when he
withdrew. He told me that he
was entirely too old to make the
race or to be bothered with the
Office. and | belive surely he was
right on that point
We all honor old age and ad-
mire the pluck OF DR.. Neville, but
to think Of bnrdening him with
the duties OF the Mayor office is
next to a sin.
Referring to some remarks made
about me by the present mayor in
some OF his speeches | beg to say
that his opposition" is certainly
more Serious" than he woul
have yov believe and he talks lat
in to himself and don't even under
stand it
Yes am candidate and
want your votes, all of them.
Make it unanimous and lets
have Mayor that you can visi,
have a good talk with and go "a
way feeling good.
