DO YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
AT HOME

With the full tide of Christmas
shopping not far ahead, it is timely
to urge the patronage of home indus
tries and the doing as much as pos
sible of the holiday buying in ones
own town. Every merchant at this
season takes especial thought for
supplying his customers. If he knows
of their desires in time, he can add
things to his stock which ordinarily
he would not carry even at the gift
season. Too often he is criticized for
not carrying an extensive line when
all he needs is the incentive. Much
of the home merchants profit goes
back into the town. All of it helps
him to raise the standard of his serv-
ice at all seasons. He gives of his
best in ordinary times. He should
have first call when larger spending

PRES. MOODY'S LETTER
Denies Assertions in Free Press of
Dec. )

Denies Assertions in Free Press Of
Dec. 5
The issue of the Burlington daily
of that date contained a malicious
attack upon Addison and Lamoille
counties, in re non-enforcement of
the liquor law, quoting President
Moody of Middlebury College as no
pussyfooter," etc, etc.
The following letter to the Free
Press needs no further introduction:
However we'll intentioned your
article of the fifth of December may
have been, cannot but feel that it
creates a false impression, especially
in reference to Middlebury College.
Others who are more familiar with
the situation can answer for Ver-
mont and for Addison county.
What l said to the reporter who
came to see me and what | was
willing he should quote me as saying
was that, 81 am opposed to the liquor
traffic on the ground of good citizen
ship since there is a law that pro-
hibits the manufacture and sale of
intoxicants. The law should be as
strictly enforced as other laws"
| was requested to enlarge on that
statement, and refused. The para
graph under "Bootleggers reached
students" is, as far as my expert
ence and knowledge go, absolutely
misleading.
/ agree that if there are astound-
ing facts, they should be known, and
if children are in danger of becom-
ing the prey of agents of the booze
ring" this should be made clear. But
l do not believe that this is the case,
or that there are any parts of the
state dominated by corrupt officials
who form a ring. This, it seems to
me from the arrangement of your
material, you have more or less in
terpreted to be my view.
/ am inclined to resent on behalf
of the students of Vermont whom l
know, and especially of the students
of Middlebury College whom | would
like to feel | know well, the implica-
tions of your article. l will leave to
others the calling in question of your
facts as a whole. l am merely con-
cerned with the Interpretation which
has been given to the little | said.
The liquor problem is the least of
our problems here at Middlebury Col
lege, and l say this not because
am Indifferent to the matter, but be-
cause there is no evidence of the use
of it by our students.
