ton to accept employment with the
Noyes Buick Co., along with Charles
Littel former postal employee of the

Tomorrow evening in the armory
hall in Montpelier, Spaulding high
school and Montpelier high, probably
two of the strongest school rivals in
athletics in the state, meet for the
first time in basketball this year. A
comparison of the strength of the two
teams cannot be made as games that
form a comparative basis have not yet
been played. II can be said, however,
that Montpelier high last week defeat
ed st. Adams high, Is TO II, on the
st. Adams home floor and will more
than likely make the local high school
travel fast tomorrow night when
playing on their own floor.
Winter not nfrequently becomes a
dull season in granite manufacturing
circles, but this winter of 1921 seems
to be little radical along this line mi
Barre and vicinity However, there
seems to be a feeling that orders for
spring work will soon be coming IN
in fact, most of the Barre firms have
sent their statesmen back to their ter
ritories TO receive the new years or
ders Some of the proprietors of the
larger firms are making the most OF
the depressed business season and have
turned their backs on the winter
months of old Vermont, for long
desired pleasure trip to some warmer |
climate. John A. Cross Of the Gross |
Bros. firm in Mortified is out in Cali
iornia now enjoying the Pacific |
Freezes, and before spring plans to
