1t has been my pleasure and
privilege for The past two years
to serve the Vermont State FEEDER
alton of Women's clubs as Con-
sclvation chairman. One project
which was recommended by this
committee was the encourag-
ing and establishing Of mu-
nicipal forest. (town foreSD. Our
state forester says that each town
should have IS many acres Of
town forest as it takes dollars TO
run its town government. He also
says that for very reasonable
sums expended m this way, these
young forests will eventually wipe
out all indebtedness, and yield at
least a dollar a year net annual
income.
Through the cooperation of
the Forestry committee of the St.
Johnsbury Woman's club, during
these two years with Mrs. Helen
Thompson, chairman, this matter
Of St JohnsbuIy having such a
forest has been uppermost in our
minds, and the club has taken a
keen interest to see this project
carried out.
And now that st. Johnsbmy
has voted to establish such a for
est, to be known as a memorial
forest, making 4 start this year by
planting several acres of white
pine location OF same TO be
chosen by the Woman's club, !
take this opportunity in behalf of
the club and the Conservation
committee of the state to thank
The voters for the kindly consid-
Grafton which they gave to our
recommendation.

EAST Weld SCHOOLS
MAKE GOOD SHOWING

The meet at Greeley last Saturday
demonstrated that the children Of
Northeast Weld county need not be
afraid to enter into competition with
the children Of the more favored re-
gions. They proved that the consol-
idated schools can hold their own
with all comers-that the dry land
child is worth educating and Is just
as responsive to good training as the
bright little ones that are born on
the irrigated lands. The consolidated
schools by their records show that
they are worth all they cost, even II
that cost Is a heavy burden.
In athletic events, the larger
schools carried off the larger number
of points, but the boys and girls
from this part OF the county made
a showing that none need be ashamed
OF.
Raymer had only one entry in the
high school events where Tim Swell
gard took third in the shot put.
Grover scored fifth In the county,
In the grade Schmeeckle took 1st
