they dared to charge. We all of US
recall the short lations accompan-
led by the assurance that while we
We're being starved and robbed, we
We're helping to win the war. The
facts are that today a great deal
better dinner can be secured and
for less money than during the war,

Hotel men have insisted and most
of them continue to insist that the
day Of the dollar dinner will never
come back
Yet it has come back at the St.
Johndbuly House in st. Johnsbury,
Vermont. There the traveller can
get all he wants 70 eat and superb
ly cooked food and we'll served for
a dollar. We hold no brief for the
ST. Johnsbury House. But when
ever we find a hotel man in one of
the country commercial hotels in
New England using his patrons

tie free advertising and pass the
word along to our readers. We do
not anticipate devoting much space
to this sort of thing, for most of
them are thirty years behind the
times. But the St. Johnabury
House is notable exception. Its
landlord is progressive and every
year shows some improvement and
better conditions. His dining room
is known to every drummer and
motorist in New England, most of
whom viii drive twenty miles or
more and by dozen other hotels
to get there at meal time.
The dollar dinner in st. Johns
bury, which by the way, is the re-
suit of no competition, is a success
and the house that serves it is max
ing money. If he can serve good
dinner for dollar, is there any
need of so many resorts serving
poor dinner for two and a half or
three dollars?

Sudden Death of
Henry A. Porter

Henry alexander Porter died
suddenly at midnight Friday at the
home of his son, Alexander H.
Porter, on Pearl street, aged rs
years. He had been in poor health
for the past two years and the end
came with hardly any warning.
Mr. Porter was born in New Ire
land, P. O., April 6, 1916, where
his boyhood and early manhood
We're spent. He came to st. Johns
bury over 40 years ago where he
has since resided. He entered the
employ of E. and T. Fairbanks and
Co., at that time and until two
years ago when he retired because
of i'll health, he was employed in
the box shop, being a most compe-
tent and efficient workman. Scar
let fever left him when only two
years old without the faculties of
speech or hearing, but notwith-
standing his heavy handicap he
kept regularly at work through
his long life and made many
friends by his faith1ulness and
cheerfulnes3.
He married soon after coming TO
St. Johnsbury, Alice Forbes of
South birmingham, Mass. He
leaves one son, Alexander H. Por-
ter, with whom he had lived for
the past two years, a granddaugh-
ter, Ruth Porter, and one sister,
Mrs. Edmund Layfeld of Peter
boro, Ont. He was a member Of
Green Mountain Lodge, No. 40,
New England Order of Protec-
ton.
A prayer service will be held
at the Calderwood funeral parlors
Monday at 4 o'clock and the funer-
al service and burial will be at Mr..
Porter's old home at New Ireland.

of greens were prepared and sent
to hospitals for disabled veterans.
These greens were used to decor

Miss Narney's very interesting
report follows:
"In October 1921 it seemed that
we might look ahead to a rapid
decrease in the volume of work
for disabled eX-service men and
women. This expectation has
been fulfilled to the extent that
we are now carrying about one
half of the volume of I year ago,
owing perhaps to two out-stand-
ing reasons: first, that claims
started in 1919 are gradually and
by persistent effort on the eart of
the claimants and Red Cross, be
ing adjusted, and second that The
U. S. Veterans Bureau now has

However the u. s. Veterans Blu

have become aggravated either
thru heavy work or by the
natural progression of the disease.
With new claimants there is often
difficulty in locating war comrades,
former physicians and employers,
and this service the Red Cross is
performing daily, securing affida-
Wits through the other Red Cross
Chapters which are made by
persons who understand the nee
essity of detailed information.
"The network of Red Cross
Branches all over the United
States serves us not only in soldier
work, but also in the problems of
civilian families, Of whom we have
now under care about 1875. When
Mr.. ID. in our own Branch asked
Red Cross assistance in learning
about the physical condition Of his
sisters children who live in Il min
ing community in California, we
secured that information through
the local Chapter, and helped him
t. see that physical defects were
rcmedied without revealing his
identity in the process.
"The problems presented by
civilian families are largely those
OF i'll health, often on the part of
children, but not infrcquently on
the part of the wage-earner or
mother Of the family. In seven in
stances we have given assistance
which made it possible for promis-
ing students to continue their at
tendance in school. The work of
the Home Service section has been
greatly aided by the Thrift Shop,
and last Christmas about 200 chill
dren were supplied with toys
through this medium. Enough can
not be said of the seven or eight
persons who have served as volun-
teer visitors, especially of the
Home Service Chairman, Mrs. +.
f. Porter and Mr., f. c. Smith.
We have felt very keenly the loss
Of Mrs. Haywood in this work, for
her good judgment, untiIing ardor,
and unlimited time made it pos
sible to almost double the amount
of work which we could do for civ
ihan families. However we have
never lacked for her good counsel
which she has given willingly even
when her personal troubles were
greatest.
Miss Bingham has taken entire
charge of the clinic work for po-
liomyelitiS cases, and has seen that
necessary equipment was at hand
for the use of the nurses sent by
the State Board of Health. There
have been five such clinics during
this year, with an average attend
ance of % children.
"Last year the Elks furnished
Thanksgiving baskets for the poor,
and cooperated willingly in adding
the names of our Red Cross fam
los ~ their list. At Christmas
time the Red Cross sent baskets to
lUout o6 families, the school chill
dren contributing large supplies of
vegetables and jellies, and one
individual contributed one-half
crate of oranges. As mentioned
before, about 200 children were
made happy by gifts distributed

RECIPROCAL HIGHWAY
COURTESY

The courtesy campaign being
conducted by the Ameican Auto
mobile association in connection
with the Chicago Automobile
Trade association and the Nation
al Automobile Dealers association,
in cooperation with local motor
clubs, is deserving of universal
commentator and support. 1t is
expected that motor vehicles
throughout the entire country will
eoon be displaying green and white
stickers on windshields bearing the
words "Automobie Courtesy" in
large letters, over the name of the
local motor club. The reciprocal
practice of highway courtesy will
greatly increase the safety as we'll
as the pleasure of highway travel.
Commenting on the courtesy
campaign and its objects, d. H.
Lewis of the American Automobile
Association, recently said "We be-
lieve that 80 pei cent of the auto
mobile accidents which happen on
the highways of the United States
could be avoided through the use
of a. little automobile courtesy.
Courtesy costs nothing and brings
greater results than any other ele
ment entering in the driving of an
automobile. Real automobile court
esy demands that we give the other
fellow his share of the road; that
we dim our lights when meeting
another car at night, that we re-
cognize the fact that the man be-
hind US blowing for the road wants
to get by and is not challenging US
to a race; in short, it means being
agreeable in all these little things
that 90 so far toward avoiding
friction
This campaign, to be of greatest
use, must include all users of the
highway, including cyclists and
pedestrians. Often pedestrians
swarm and sprawl all over the road
with their backs to traffic, and pay
no attention to horn Signals to
move over, except to say, as the
motorist finally gets by: CAV, go
W IlNli' VI, va We KY IlOl IL
have you?" Such discourtesy is
now common, and it is nothing
short of miraculous that more pc
destrians are not being run down
every day Bicyslists are almost as
bad as pedestrians, wabblng all
over the road in utter contempt of
the rights of other highway users.
There is need FIR reforms in the
practices to which Mr.. Lewis calls
attention, especially in pulling over
to let the man behind get bv when
he signals his desire to do so.
Many motorists seem to regard
this as a reflection on their car, if
not personal insult, and either
start to race or refuse to give way
by so much as an inch This offense
is particularly common in the parts
of the country peopled almost ex-
cluSlvely by a very pure strain of
old American stock, where the peo-
pie are drunk on freedom and
where every man considers him
self an uncrowned king. 1t is our
opinion that an occasional Grown
ing" say with a pick handle, would
greatly improve TINS class of royal
ty But as that isn't being done,
now, a courtesy campaign seems
the shortest road to reformation.
