John Barrett 5. Vermont Tow. Halls.

JOHN Barrett sn Vermont Town Halls.
On the occasion Of the dedication of
the new town hall In Townsend, Fri
day, June 10th, John Barrett, former
United States minister in Asia and
South America, and late director gen.
eral OF the Pan American union in
washington, who is a native Of the
adjoining town Of Grafton, delivered
an address in which he emphasized
and pictured the unique and notable
part which tho town hall plays in Ver-
mont and New Hampshire life. AZ
ter laying great stress upon the i'm
portance of community cooperation to
the future welfare and happiness of
the people of the country towns of
Vermont and New England, he ad-
dressed the following apostrophe to
the Town Hall itself:
"Town Hall of Townsend, of Yer
mont, of New England, Of America:
what do you really mean to your peo-
Pile?
"ToYn Hall, you are the meeting
mouse OF good men. You are the
practical home of ideal democracy.
You mean that the people rule.
Flown Hall, you are the capitol of
the community. You are the hall of
legislation where every citizen is
life senator and representative. You
where all can be disputants, affirma-
tive or negative.
Clown Hayy, you are the citadel
of order. You are the fortress
against lawlessness. You are the
monument of the bill of rights.
Town Hall, you have no equal in
all history as an institution of the
people. You are literally unique.
You belong alike to old and young, to
map and woman, boy and girl, rich
and poor, to the follower of every
political party, to the citizen of every
creed and color.
"Town Hall, you are the citadel
our modest home of village and farm,
but you know that we love you most
of all. You are the center of our
community effort, of our town aifec-
ton, of our town and state loyalty,
of our national patriotism. You
know the story of ur past; you are
the hope Of four future.
"Town Hall, you are the scene of
our love feasts, our frolics, our cere-
monies of sorrow and happiness, our
celebrations of historic days, our fun
ctlons of dignity, and our civil battles
royal. You alphabetically mother
our town meetings, our lawsuits, our
political rallies, our church and well |
fare socials, our singing schools and
debating clubs, our band concerts, our
entertainments of drame and film,
our Joyous dancing and our local but
welghty decisions of town, state. |
and international problems !
and policies
"Town Hall, you are the material !
home of the spirit and soul of the /
community over which you preside |
You are the physical body in which !
the ever throbbing heart of the town
beats strong or weak. You are the |
free and ultimate voice of the people. |
You are the people.
Long may you live, Town Hall, |
long as exist the green valleys, hills
and mountains that form your noble
environment. God bless you, Town
Hall. home and protector of your peo-
ple."

FIRE

The fire which nearly brought to-
tai destruction to- East Charleston
last week again points to the neces-
sity Of some fire protection for the
rural village. After the fire which
practically wiped out the village of
South Albany several years ago, the
need was emphasized. Later came
tn burning of the village of Coven-
try, and again the need was brought
to the attention of the public, and
Coventry did make move for pro-
lection. Now comes the catastrophe
at East Charleston. East Charles
ton had an opportunity for fire pro-
lection equalled by few small towns
in the county and an insurance man
told the writer that quite likelv the
Iessened insurance rate fire protec-
ton would have oiven the policy
holders of East Charleston in the
past or Is years would have paid
the cost of installing water sys-
tenn for protection. would have saved
the village now and been blessing
and saving for all time. What vii
Iage will take warning from fire
swept East Charleston? Or will ev-
eryone wait until they too are visit
ed by similar destruction. East
Charleston hardly needs censure now,
it needs sympathy and is receiving it
from generous hands, but the lesson
is too striking to let go unheeded.
1t has been suggested that coun-
ty fire warden should be provided
for by law, and that part of such
persons duty should be to organize
rural villages for fire fighting, that
he should educate the people to the
necessity of fire protection and urge
such methods of protection and fight
ing as would lessen the havoc when
fire was started. There is virtue in
the suggestion. At least every pa
triotic citizen of every small and ev-
ery large Vermont village should take
some responsibility for the preven-
ton of fire throughout the communl-
ty, for the insurance rate paid by all
is the rate established largely
through the carelessness and irres-
possibility of the few.
One report about the East Charles
ton fire which has gained consider
able publicity through the inaccurate
report by one paper, is to the erect
that in dynamiting building with
the hope of preventing the spread of
the fire, burning embers were thrown
over the village and the fire thus.
spread widely and rapidly. This
is not true according to eye
witnesses of the whole proceedings.
Dynamite was resorted to in an eff
fort to raise a building and stop the
path of the fire but in the opinion
of those present the act did nothing
to either spread or hinder the spread
of the fames.s
1t is difficult enough for East
Charleston to stand UP under the
truth about the fire, to say nothing
about having such wild and erron-
eous stories further blacken the rec
ord.
And what are we to do about fire
projections for the rural village and
the farm home? Rebuilding is very
often not resorted to, and thus goes
on the disintegration of otr rural
life, the life which is so essential to
the existance of the larger communi-
ties and commercial centers.
