The threatened nationwide railroad

The impression was given that the
administration feels other avenues are
open by which settlement may be
reached. No indication was given,
however, as to what course would be
followed or what information the GOV
cTnment may have had from the labor
board.

Belief walls expressed that amicable
and definite results could be obtained
through negotiations, rather than by

After the regular cabinet meeting
it hCcalle lncNn ihat some members
of the presidents family had advised
him to use the wartime authority to
prevent the threatened strike from
seriously interfering with the trans
porfation of necesSaries. The provision
authorizing the president to take such
steps is Il part of the national defense
act, which continues in force until
there has been Il formal proclamation

WILD DUCKS ARE PLENTIFUL
IN VERGENNES WATERWAYS
Game Warden Describes Flocks as
Greatest He Has Ever
Seen

81 never saw ducks so plentiful
said County Fish and Game Warden
George Dougherty last Friday eve
ming on his return from his patrol of
the banks of the Otter Creek to see
that the law was strictly obeyed on the
opening day of the season. He and
Special Warden H A. Booth were at
the feedinfg grounds before daybreak
Promptly at sunrise the rifles began to
bark, Dougherty's own bringing down
nine of the birds When the hunters
had assembled in numbers the officers
began the inspection of their licenses.
There was not a single violation of
the law that came under our observa-
tion" he said; "all had their licenses
without exception"
The wardens attribute the noticeable
increase of the ducks to the excellent
feeding grounds that have been pro-
vided them by the state game depart
ment. Last fall Mr. Booth sowed a
large quantity of wild rice seed along
the shores of Little Otter and Dead
Greek, East and West Slang and Cove
Creek, which has grown very well and
seems to have attracted more of the
game than ever

BRIDPORT MEN PINNED UNDER
WRECK OF OVERTURNED FORD
George MyriCk and Donald Russell
Saved from Probable Death in
Fire by Robert Nadeau

George Myrick. Donald Russell and
Robert Nadeau of Bridport narrowly
escaped death Wednesday night when
their Ford car turned turtle, pinning
two of them beneath it and then took
fire. The accident happened at the
corner east of the NJ T. Wolcott house
in Bridport. None of the men were
seriously injured, however, although
the car was total wreck
The trio we're returning from Mid
dlebury at a late hour, when the road
had become very slippery from the
evening rains. Mr.. Myrick, owner
and driver of the car, lost control Of
the wheel as it skidded, and the fliv-
yer rolled over into the ditch. Mr..
Russell and Mr.. Myrick were both
pinned beneath the upturned car but
were rescued by Mr. Nadeau, who had
fallen clear of the wreckage and was
able to life it from his companions.
The fire started Immediately after the
crash and consumed the machine. The
Ford was not of a recent model and
not insured Scratches were the ex-
tent of the mems injuries although
they felt grateful that they were able
to extricate themselves from the wreck
so quickly.

KINNEY SUCCEEDS SANFORD
IN MANUAL TRAINING DEPT.
Teachers of Crafts in High School Had
Resigned Shortly After Start
of School

Thomas f Kinney of Oswego, n. Y,
has accepted the position of teacher
of manual training in the Middlebury
high school to succeed Frank G.. San
ford of South Waterford, Me, resigned.
Mr. Kinney will begin his duties at
once.
The new teacher of manual training
is only % years old, a graduate of the
Oswego Normal School, He taught in
Erie Pa, during the latter half Of
last year His popularity with the
boys of the local school will be in
creased from his ability as an athlete,
for he has consented to coach basket
ball, which he has studied thoroughly.
When it was suggested that he coach
football and baseball also he demurred
for the reason that although he had
played both games in school and on
the Oswego town team, he felt un-
qualified to teach their science.
A new floor will be made in the
manual training room Immediately.
The lumber was expected last night. As
soon as the floor is completed, the class
es will be begun. At present there are
from % to 80 high school boys regis
tered for the manual training course,
with more than 40 from the two high
est grades The class is expected to
increase as soon as the work has begun,
when the boys recognize the value Of
the course.
Mr.. Sanford, who had come to Mid
dlebury at the opening of the school
term, resigned within a couple OF days
after the beginning of classes. 1t is
thought that he did not care for the
hard work Of recognizing the depart
ment, which has been omitted from the
curriculum Of the high school for sew
eral wears.

YOUTH AND ADULTS
JOIN IN TOWN FAIR
FIRST ANNUAL EXPOSITION
SUCCEEDS IN LINCOLN
Superpumpkins Are But One of Fea-
lures of Combined Exhibits at
Community Fete

All Lincoln is still talking about
its first annual community fair held
Thursday afternoon and evening Of
last week Parents and children had
joined hands to make it both success
full and memorable, by the combina-
ton of the boys and girls exhibit and
the adults exposition of garden pro-
duce and needlework The fair was
such a success that there is little doubt
but that it will be given permanency
in substitution for the two other an
nual exhibits.
The children were awarded cash
prizes for excellence in the various de
partments of their exhibit and sur
prised their elders by their progress in
gardening, stock raising and domestic
work. The adults received no prizes
with the judges awards, preferrng to
sacrifice such gain to swell the young
sters' purses.
7. K Burnham entered a pair of su-
per-pumpkins, which weighed 80 and
90% pounds The biggest squash was
grown by J. F. Moody, which tipped
the scales at Sc pounds. There were
many other entries similarly illustra-
tive of the fertility of the Lincoln
farms and the skill of their owners.
In the sports held in the afternoon,
Clifford Kent was high point winner,
capturing six first places and tying for
second in a seventh event, Keith
Bicknell starred in the feature number
of the afternoon program, the creased
pig race. New Haven street was van
quished in a five inning baseball game
by the Lincoln town team, 1914
Nothing was forgotten by the COM
mittee to insure the popularity of the
fair, even to the extent of the quite
necessary brass band The Bristol
Military Band played during the eve
ming to one of the largest audiences
ever assembled in the town
There are some of the citizens to
whom especial credit is due for their
interest in the fair, particularly w. F..
Gotta Of the Lincoln Manufacturing
Company, who was generous in his
supply of the lumber for the booths
and other necessaries. He also sup
piled the transportation for the band.
In turn the citizens in general are loud
in their praise of the committee for
their time and services upon which the
fair depended, knowing in the words
of one of their townsmen, that they
would receive no other reward than
the pride which each true citizen feels
when he does some deed to better his
home town.

BIG DUNMORE TROUT
MUST STAY AT HOME
SCREEN PLANNED AT OUTLET
BY STATE AND POWER CO.
Commr. Sheldon Grants Request of
Sportsmen to Pen up Fish of
A. W. o. L. Habits

Middlebury sportsmen in particular
will be interested in the announcement
of the state Fish and Game Commits
sioner, H. P. Sheldon, of plans for the
building of a screen at the outlet oi
Lake Dunmore to prevent the further
loss of salmon trout which have es-
capped in large numbers each year at
the spawning season. There are many
local people who frequently fish the
lake, several having cottages and boats
there, and who have regretted this
yearly depletion of their sport.
The Hortonia Power Company, own
ers of the water rights of the lake,
has agreed to the installation of the
screen at the falls. The work will be
begun as soon as the plans are COM
pleted.
The screen will be made of wood and
placed on a concrete base. 1t will be
necessary to draw down the lake sew
eral feet to permit the building of a
Golfer dam to facilitate the making of
the concrete base The screen will
be V shaped, several feet wide with
spaces of seven-eights of an inch. Work
on the screen will be rushed to antici-
pate the spawning season of the fish
When the salmon trout reach the
spawning stage they seek the salt water
and many have annually left the lake
never to return The paintings made
by the sportsmen have been disAp-
pointing on this account in the past
hut the news of the screen inst II i+ion
will be welcomed bv every angler who
is acquainted with the sport possibili-
ties of the lake. Not all of the wan
dering salmon would reach the salt
water, however, as many beautiful
speciments have been found in the
small outlet OF the lake. Seven and
even eight Founders were not infre-
quent catches in that stream. Their
loss in this manner deprived the lake
of the hundreds of thousands of fry,
and to prevent this leakage the screen
will be built.
Four years ago the legislature appro-
priated $3.50 for the screening of the
lake outlet but no action was taken un-
til the state commissioner was peti-.
toned by sportsmen lovers Of Dul.
