Club Luncheon and Entertainment.

A large number of Improvement
club members and ladies enjoyed a
social evening at Hotel Barton Friday
evening.
President C. S. Webster greeted the
audience, which was seated in the din
ing room with the tables removed
The Lyndonville orchestra furnished
music throughout the evening and
for the dance following the luncheon
R. D. Merrill sang bass solo and
responded to an encore.
c. F. Dingman. of Palmer, Mass.
connected with the Flynt Building and
Construction company, the concern
building the VESSEL, Nickle & Gross
factory in this town, gave talk on
the housing problem. He said the
problem was not a new one, but it
had been aggravated in the past few
years by war conditions and high
prices. One sure way, he said, to get
industries today was to assure those
industries that your town had sufh-
cient housing facilities.
Following this talk Mrs. R. P. Web
ster sang a soprano solo and res
ponded to an encore.
This program was followed by a

AIR TRANSPORTATION

Several paragraphs of the message
are devoted to the subject of air
transportation which the governor
says is destined to come into as great
period of development. "Our cost of
road construction and our ever in
creasing cost of maintenance will
more and more force us to use the
airway which is all ready for use and
costs nothing for maintenance" He
pointed out that in each previous stage
of the development of transportation,
Vermont was handicapped by it's lack
of navigable rivers and by the rugged
ness of its surface which made rail-
roading difficult and costly, but added
that Vermont, by taking tiraely action,
can be on even terms with with others
so far as air transportation is con-
cerned.
"The future growth OF towns" he
said, "will depend in a large meas
ure upon the ,alertness of making pro-
visions for safe landings of air craft.
The landing fields are practically air
ports. By the establishment of facil-
tiles of the kind y our flying serv-
ice will begin without further ex-
pense." In closing this section of the
message, he said, "I recommend the
investigation Of the needs of amending
present statutes or enacting new stat
utes for facilitating the acquisition of
landing sites by towns or under pro-
per state or town control of private
initiative"

Jersey Cattle Men.

About 80 Jersey Cattle breeders
from Orleans county gathered in the
Improvement Club rooms in Barton
Friday afternoon and organized the
Orleans County Jersey Cattle Club
with C. H. Root of North Craftsbury
president; F. j. Niles of Derby, vice
president; B. H. Fairbanks of Barton,
secretary-treasurer; and an executive
committee composed of w. R. Connal
of Newport Center, D. G. Speir of
Greensboro, F. L. Parlin of Island
Pond and c. M. Borland of Glover.
County Agent Abel presided at the
meeting and stated the object of the
gathering. Remarks were made by
Mr.. Bliss of ST. Adams, a prominent
breeder of Jersery cattle, Mr.. Root,
Mr.. Niles, R. E. Dutton of Browning
ton, Mr.. Parlin and others. County
Club Leader Bacon spoke of the offer
of DR.. Tinkham to furnish boys with
pigs from his farm in Bloomington,
upon note, the boy to raise his pig
and settle in the fall.
The club has every appearance of
strong organization which will be
active. 1t is proposed to hold a sale

BUSINESS DEPRESSION

At the close of the spoken part of
his message Governor Hartness said
he felt it his duty "to impress on
this body the seriousness of our per-
cent depression on business" sug-
gesting that it might become necessary
to take some definite action to meet
the exigencies. Here he renewed his
warning against unwise expenditures,
saying, "Let us guard we'll our re-
sources and let us be free from the
charge of spending one single dollar
needlessly or of forgetting for one
moment that each dollar has been
taken from our homes directly or in
directly"

WORKMENS COMPENSATION

Governor Hartness expressed con-
fidence that the article in the party
platform relating to an equitable in
crease in death and accident benefit"
in the workmen's compensation law
twill receive most generous consider
alton, as will also the third article
favoring the appointment of a wo-
man inspector of factories" In con-
nection with the compensation law he
said he expected the matter of COM
pensation for occupational disease
would be brought up and expressed
the opinion that "the enactment of a
measure of this kind would undoubt-
edly spur all manufactures to use the
most healthful methods and means,
and this will bring great improve
ment in the working conditions in
Vermont"

INTEREST OF THE WORKERS

Running all through the government
message is the thread of concern for
the interests of the workers, manual
and mental, in the home, shop, and Of
flee. He said the prime responsible
ties of the government is to the "chil-
dren, women, and men of the state"
and declared that the interest of the
workers "must be studiously consid-
cred in order to obtain a better basis
for understanding so that there will
be government for the people who
work their hands as well as those who
talk and write"
So far as labor is concerned, Gov
ernor Hartness expressed doubt
whether it would be fully in the inter
ests of women to limit their hours of
work to 48 week, although this p ank
in the Republican platform expressed
a commendable purpose. He express
ed confidence that the legislature
would find way of dealing with the
subject in a manner that would not

SPECIAL MESSAGES TO FOLLOW

The governor did not read his en-
tire Industry message" but merely
a part of it. The complete message
in printed form will be placed in the
hands of the legislature. Governor
Hartness did not outline a legislative
program, saying he recognized the
true province of the legislature and
adding that he would avail himself of
the executives right to present special
messages on special subjects as the oc-
casion would require. -
His first message is devoted to an
amplifcation of his plan for. harmony
of cooperation for the general good
of the state, to plea for the use of
true business principles and the elimi-
nation of waste in administering
the states business, and to a consid-

Governors Message

Montpelier, Jan. 7,-Gov. James
Hartness this afternoon delivered his
inaugural message to the joint assem-
bly, in the hall of the house of repre-
sentatives. Saying that it was i'm
possible at this time to "refer to all
the major subjects that must be con-
sidered during the session." and
pointing out that his message would

ter" the new governor made an earn

lowship and cooperation" which, he
said, would "be the greatest aid to US
as we formulate our policies and shape
our laws to fit conditions today"
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1921-01-12
ATTITUDE TOWARD APPOINT.
MENTS

In this connection he urged contin-
uity in office of those who are fitted.
His attitude toward appointments is
shown by his statement that "there
is no better way to insure good
service for the whole state than by
placing in office only those specially
fitted by experience for the work at
hand and after having obtained men
of best qualifications, based on natural
ability, training and experience, the
next thing to do is to retain them in
office" He did not believe that the ad-
ministrative business of the state
should be permitted to be adversely af-
fected by the vicissitudes of political
disturbance.
In this connection he said that
"heads of departments must be in
thorough touch with the actual
work" and he expressed himself as
opposed to the "office holding desk
type of control that kill off the spirit
of initiative He commended to the
"most earnest consideration of the
general assembly the report of the
various commissions, boards and Of
ficers," saying their reports and re-
concentrations should be given great
weight "as the result of close and
long application to their problems" I"
These reports, he said, "form the
best basis in considering legislative ac-
tion."

INDUSTRIAL EXPANSION

AS to industrial expansion in Ver-
mont, Governor Hartness said that
while the state had done much along
certain lines, much more can be done
by awakening the state to it's oppor-
tunities. He declared Vermont to
be most favorably located geograph-
ically for industrial purposes, but,
he said,. "the condition of public opin-
ion must be changed" and people
have faith in Vermont. "For cur
state," he said, eve must build up a
faith in our capabilities to win sue
cess in this world of science and in
dustry. This is necessary to enlist
a genuine interest in the, active work
of rounding our states development" I"
Admitting that the full significance
of his plan may not be understood
he bespoke the confidence and CO.
operation" of the assembly in his
effort at industrial development. Pu-
blicity is necessary" he declared.
"The general principles of industrial
development of the individual and
group must reach the workers, the
boys and girls in schools, the men
and women in all Vermont. This
can be attained by pamphlet publica-
tions of the state" One striking
paragraph reads:
"The essential work before this gen.
eral assembly is to consider ways and
means of intoxicating the fullest know
ledge Of the best plans of industrial
life So that every one affected by such
activity can know how to estimate an
industry's prospects and how to con-
duct their own cause in them"
