ii. j. Movies of University Of Vermont
Makes Presentation in High School
Much Enthusiasm

Much Enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm ran high in the Brattleboro
high school yesterday, when the two
handsome silver loving cups and 20 med
ais won by the track team of the school
at the meet at the University of Vermont
in Burlington last Saturday, were pre-
scented by II. J. Movies, who has charge
of all the track athletics at the univer-
sity.
| The school was called in assembly
after the forenoon recess and as each
trophy was presented the recipient was
cheered heartily, the heaviest applause
bursting forth when the big cup, which
has been won by the track team fol
three successive years and which now be
| comes the permanent property of the
school, was presented to Captain Lawtor
| by Mr.. Movies and by Captain Lawtor
to Principal julius T.. Warren foi
| the school. This is the first cup of
fered since the war and never has beer
won by any other school. The cup of
fered by the university for the relay rae,

HOLSTEIN OFFICE TO REMAIN.
Continued from Page H.

Registry, Malcolm III. Gardner of De-
lavan, Wis, which would have meant
new officers in both of those offices, began
a campaign to secure proxies from the
members of the association. This move
was met promptly by counter campaign
on the part Of those who opposed tho
consolidation plan, and these included
most of the members in the New Eng
land, New York, Pennsylvania, and
other eastern states which comprise the
larger part Of the membership.
Leaders in the various states began
a systematic campaign to secure proxies
from all over the country by means of
letters calling attention to the danger
which threatened the association. This
involved heavy expense, and when the
| facts became known to the Brattleboro
| Chamber of Commerce that organization
manifested n desire to do what it could
to save to Brattleboro the sccretary's
office, which employs about $50 persons.
The most effective piece of work which
it could do seemed to be to raise funds to
help the states defray the cost of CORE
/ spondence and postage necessary to Sc
! cure the greatest possible number of
proxies so that the Houghton men might
control the annual meeting. To that end
canvass was made among the Brattle-
boro business men and about $4,000 was
, raised for the cause.
! w nllt iOlHlIH WIS certain as TO tnP
I outcome until the proxies were checked
up at the meeting the information that
came to the secreary's office previous to
| the meeting was of such nature that
the Brattleboro people who were keeping
in touch with the campaign felt reason
! ably sure that the program of centraliZ.
alton would fail.
| The letters which were sent out from
/ the large states mentioned were of a very
! effective character. They called the at.
tention of the members throughout the
I United States to the fact that after the
meeting in Philadelphia in 1919 the di
rectorS out-voted the finance committee
and raised the transfer fee from % cents
to 81. which action was supported by
President ID. ID. Aitken of Flint, Mich.
and that if the opponents of the old re
gime could get control they would save
the members 100000 year by re
, ducing the transfer fee to 80 cents.
Attention was called also to the fact
that President Aitken for two years hat
been drawing salary of S12 600. or So
900 more than the governor of New Yorl
state. although the bylaws do not pro
vide for any salary for the president.
Special emphasis was placed upon thu
loyal and efficient service of Secretary
/ IIoughton and Superintendent Gardner
CT the Advanced Registry, and the desir
ability of re-electng these two men wa
urged.
