CLASS DUES TO BE
PAID IN LUMP SUM
Student Activities Society Holds Special
Meeting TOday-Decides Not to
Have Tag Day.

At a special meeting of the Student
Activities society of the Brattleboro high
school this morning, the question of
financial backing for this years football
team was brought up before the school.
and it was voted that the class dues,
which are usually paid by the term. be
paid in lump sum at once. These dues
amount to five cents a week for each
scholar in school. and they help to sup
port the athletic teams and the class
activities.
Before this matter was decided upon
the question of having a tag day to
raise money was suggested, but it was
turned down on account of its unsea-
sonablencss. Next the question of get
ting benefit picture was discussed, but
the idea was rejected on account of the
delay involved in printing the tickets and
in making the necessary arrangements.
In discussing this problem several seniors
made short speeches. They were Harry
Harlow. Howard Rice, Frank Shumway.
Helen Woodwork and Lynn Thayer.

Threatened Large Area.
Fire in the paint shop of August
Johnson in the rear of the Williston
block on Main street at last evening
burned briskly for about 10 minutes. be-
fore the fire department under the direc-
tion of Chief Engineer Frank Streeter
had it under control. The fire attracted
u large crowd, and did about $3.50 damage
to property. Fifty dollars of this loss
was TO stock in the paint shop. and the
rest was to the building, which is owned
by Williston Walker. Mr. Walkers
property is insured through George NJ
Clays agency.
The alarm was rung in at box 81 by
Joseph Dunlevy, who is employed at the
Smith Co.'S garage as bookkeeper
Due to the fact that they were in a
hurry to reach the scene Of the fire the
managers of the fire truck miSt0ok the
alarm for 80 and drove down the Main
street hill to the plaza. where they
turned about and came up through the
street with the hose wagon in full pur-
suit.
Within 10 minutes after the alarm had
been rung in there were three streams
Of water on the fire. which had gained
considerable start in the waste and dry
material OF the paint shop. and had
broken out on the front side of the shop,
lighting mp the vicinity. Due to the fact
that the IRE did not gain any Roadway
in the partitions, it was quickly choked
by the streams of water.
The fire was handled just in time. for
with a little more Of a start it would
have threatened not only the stores in
that block but also the whole East side
of Main street as far down as the
American building
The cause of the fire as far as it is
possible to ascertain was spontaneous
combustion among the oiled rags which
had been left about the shop.
