The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1921-06-07
REFORMER, TUESDAY, JUNE z 1921

for the first time that he died of pneu-
mOnia in October of 1918, during the
influenza epidemic.
"A younger brother has now come 10
the-front with the same all-round ath-
letic ability of Edward Eugene Moran,
who is only Is years old. won six first
places in an interscholastic meet in
Brattleboro on May 2S. and week
later in Burlington, in the Vermont IN
terscholastlc meet, captured five hrSt
places and tied in the pole vault. and
later made a new record in this event
for the meet.
What young Moran did AT Burlington
is so remarkable for youth of his years
that we mention them III detail. He won
the 100 in 10 4-JS. the 800 in % 4-0S,
the 120-yard high hurdles in z 3-5s, the
220-yard low hurdles in - los, and
cleared 10 feet, inches in the pole
vault and ID feet, . IL inches in the
broad jump. Now this is not all. He
won six firsts in the Middlebury college
meet and in the Amherst interschoiastic
won the only hurdle race and three sec
onds.
I'VE have before protested against
giving growing boy any such excessive
competition. The Association of Pro
fessional Trainers. composed of men of
wide experience in training and coaching
college and school athletes, has recon-
mended that schoolboys shall not COM
pete in more than two events in one meet.
and our own observation is in accord
with their Judgment.
If a man of Basil Rudd's wonderful
stamina and age can overdo athletic COM
petition and burn up his energy so that
it is question whether he can come back
to his 1920 form, how much more likely
is a mere youth to become baked as
they say in athletic vernacular, by over
doing? Young lads should be carefully
handled and not be expected to win q
meet for their schools almost single
handed.
Justin Moran. the Colgate low hurd-
Ter, is a brother of the all-round phenOm'
enon, Eugene. Justin is just finishing his
freshman year. These boys are sons OF
VI. J. Moran, the postmaster of Brattle
boro. who was an all-round athlete oil
prominence in the Connecticut valley
when he lived in Chicopee."
Coach Diedrich Stolte, who has the
handling of the Brattleboro high school
track team, characteriZes as nonsense
the talk about Eugene Moran becoming
baked" In large meets where it Is
necessary TO run OFF several preliminaries
two events is enough, but in meets in
which Moran has participated, in most
of which no preliminaries have been nee
essary. he has gotten no more work than
he would have gotten in two events II
the large meets.

TREE LEAGUE OF DOVER
Meet On Saturday and Elect Officers
For Ensuing Year

For Ensuing Year
A meeting of the Tree League of
Dover was held on Saturday, Febru-
airy 5th, at the home of Mrs. James
H. Hughes. The purpose of the
League is to protect and preserve the
trees of Dover by treating those that
are diseased and by careful trimming
and intelligent care prolonging the
life of the remainder; and as one of
the chief beauties of the town are its
lovely old trees, surely this effort in
their behalf is well worth while. New
trees are also bought and set out to
replace dead ones and further beauti-
fly the town. The league has a tree
commission that with three members
of the Town Council form a joint COM
mittee that act together in this work.
Following the meeting an election was
held at which the following officers
were elected for the year: President,
Mrs. James H. Hughes; treasurer,
Miss Dora Wilds; members of Tree
Commission, Mrs. E. H. Atkinson, Mrs
Hughes and Mrs. George Jones; re-
search committee, Mrs. Hughes, Mrs.
Aldan Richardson, Mrs. George Jones,
Mrs. Roosevelt Hammond, James H.

Work on Chesapeake & Delaware Ex-
pected to Begin About February 20
Arrangements have been made by
the United States Engineer Office at
Sixth and King streets, Wilmington,
with the principal transportation COM
panies using the Chesapeake and Del
aware Canal for the closing of the
canal for repairs. 1t is not known at
what date the canal will be closed, but
it is understood to be the week COM
mencing Monday, February 20. Dur
ing this time repairs will be made to
the principal lock which is said to have
been in bad condition for some time.
1t had been expected that the repairs
could be made while the traffic was
stopped by heavy freezing, but the
open winter made it necessary to close
irrespective to weather conditions.
Within the past few weeks, the lock
at Chesapeake City has been leaking
badly, and it will be necessary to have
it drained in order to reach the foun-
dations of the gates. Under plans
prepared by the engineer office for
widening the canal so as to accommo-
date intercoastal traffic of large size
the canal will be made into a sea lev
ell waterway and all locks eliminated

FARM BUREAU GETS MEMBERS.
New Castle Farmers Are Lining Up
Strong For the Farm Bureau.

Strong For the Farm Bureau.
81 never thought that 20 per cent of
the farmers of New Castle County
could be enrolled in an organization at
five dollars per year. I'll never say
again that the farmers won't stick to-
gether." This is a statement made in
the Farm Bureau office last week by a
New Castle County farmer. This
man was told that he still did not
know the whole of the story, that thru
a recent meeting of the chairman and
solicitors that means were devised to
enroll these farmers who were doubt
full or not at home when the first can
vas was made. 1t is expected that
when this cleanup" drive is complete
that at least so per cent of the farm
ers will be members of the organi-
zation. Many of the communities
have already begun on their program
of work. Frank H. Buckingham,
chairman of the Fairview community
called a meeting of his members last
Thursday night. County Agent R. o..
Bausman spoke on the work of the
Farm Bureau up to date. Mr.. Buck
ingham explained that the Farm Bu-
reau members of that community We're
going to comparatively buy their Glow
er seed at wholesale price and that the
Farm Bureau Office would test it for
purity and termination. The order
will be placed at an early date. The
Odessa and Townsend communities
will hold meetings at an early date for
the same purpose.

Shakespeare Clancy is the "The
Jailbird," who walks out with crowd
of visitors about the time "Skeeter'
Burns, the prison printer, is discharg-
ed. They get together at a resort
known to both and find there a letter
from Clancy stating that a legacy
awaits him at small western town
known as Dodson. They find Dodson
full of rubes, and the inheritance to be
a country newspaper and barren plot
of ground. They make failure OF
editing the paper and decide to put up
a pretense of discovering oil on the
barren plot. The jailbirds let a few
of the towns-people in on the project
for a limited amount of stock and be-
gin drilling in earnest. They are dis
tressed later on to learn that sweet
Alice Whitley and her aunt, with
whom they have been living, have
mortgaged their home to buy stock.
The women are advised to stay out,
and they are grieved. The two enter
prising crooks clean up all the sub
scriptions to be had and make ready
for a quick getaway. They are in full
fight when they are discovered and
caught by large crowd of citizens.
They are carried back to town in tn
umph-the drill has struck oil and the
well is a gusher. See this story of
an "honest crook" To tell you all the
story would be to spoil good enter
