BARNET RESENTS
DISCRIMINATION

Our Barnet correspondent
furnishes the following com
ment on the announcement
of the New England Tele-
phone Company to discontinue
the five free toll service on
May 10;
Just a word or 50 from the
subscriber of the New Eng
land Telephone company in
the small towns as regards this
free toll service being discon-
tinued.
1t is hardly a fair deal to
charge people in Barnet and
other small towns the same
price per year for telephone
service as patrons pay in ST..
Johnsbury and other larger
towns.
Barnet patrons have access
to only about 125 phones in
their central, while in St.
Johnabu1y there are over 1000.
Barnet people feel that the
decision of the Vermont Pub
lie Service Commission of Mar.
20 should be sustained and do
not see why or what right the
telephone company has to
disregard this decision, which
was both fair and just,

NEW HAVEN, CT, May 6
American institutions have come
from the people but they have
come from a people directly led
and inspired by the ideals which
come from the colleges. Vice
President Coolidge declared before
a meeting of the New England
Association of Colleges and Sec
ondaly schools.
"That those who founded these
seats Of learning were taking a
wise course is demonstrated both
by reason and experience" the
vice president said. "They wish
to secure a certain action on the
part of their fellow men. They
realized what men do depend on
what they know and what they
think"

Waiting

All my life l have been waiting for

summer dreams of skating made me
mutter in my sleep. And in winters
stormy weather I've been waiting
for July, and the picnic in the heath
er, and the -.ea and lemon pie.
have never been contented with the
present, though it's fine; for the fu-
ture I've lamented with whimper
and whine. In my childhood was
signing for the whiskers of man,
and the golden years went flying,
ard | knocked them as they ran.
Always waiting, always looking. for
the good things just ahead. still ods-
fishing, still gadzooking. since times
feet were made of lead. And l
missed all kinds of pleasure, missed
my chance to dance and sing, while
| waited for the treasure that the
coming days would bring. So around
the dump lowered, waiting for the
futures gold. and one morning | dis
covered that the years had made me
old. On my forehead there are fur
rows. and my form is tired and
CALLED, and the chigger comes and
burrows underneath scalp that's
bald. All my hopes have lost their
rating, all my rosy dreams are
canned, and there's no more use in
waiting, for the end is close to hand.
If today is sweet and pleasant. of its
merits make the most, for we're liv-
ing in the present, and tomorrow is

TALKS ON EDITORIALS.
g. A. Lyon Addresses G. w. q.
Class in Journalism.

Editorial writing was the subject Of
an address delivered yesterday after
noon before the class in journalism OF
George Washington University by q.
A. Lyon, associate editor of The Star.
The editorial was described as the
medium through which a newspaper
maintained the confidence of the pub
lie. Combined with the circulation OBJ
tanned through excellence in news
service it was what created the in
dividual newspaper. the speaker said.
Mr.. Lyon sketched the history OF
editorial writing and the transition
from the old-time personal relation
of editor and public to the present
character of the paper as an instltu-
ton. Attention was given to the
moral, spiritual and political infiu-
ence of editorial writing. and it was
stated that. Notwithstanding the
changed conditions. the editorial was
still the most potent factor in infiu-
encing the minds of readers.
The students were advised to de-
veIop individual style as writer's in
this field.
