Winter Living in Northern New
England.
(Barre Times)

Into whatever community in north
ern New England you go these days
of February you are rather sure to
find snowshoes, skis, toboggans,
skates, hockey clubs, sleds and ira
verses exhibited. You see, too, peo-
pie clad In regalia suited to outdoor
life and to convenience and comfort.
Generally you see those people carry
ing the glow Of health in their cheeks
and having clear eyes, which carry
more than the former sparkle. The
reason? It's a remarkable revival of
winter sports; or perhaps, better, it
is the development of a new interest
in outdoor winter life. Days when
people stuck close to the stove and
radiator in the winter period, when
they considered the great outdoors a
place to go only under necessity
when they simply waited around for
the return of spring days are

Tax on Gasoline, Why Not?
bellows Falls TimeS)

1t is rule in all we'll regulated
newspaper Offices that if the office
hasn't information on any given prop
osition it goes to those who have it.
Not knowing a whole lot about the
proposed state tax on gasoline, Col
John S. Paddock, who in addition to
being a good citizen, is chairman of
the Republican state committee, was
asked what he knew about such a
tax. He said that Robbins B. Stock
ell, motor vehicle commissioner for
Connecticut, had recently sponsored
meeting of commissioners from all
the New England states which was
held in Connecticut and which Harry
A. Black, Vermont secretary of state
attended. At that meeting a tax in
all the New England states was fav-
ored. In Connecticut a tax of one
cent per gallon has been in force since
last October. 1t yields about $50, 900
month during the winter and for
the year will amount to- $750,000, it
is estimated. Mr.. Stocked thinks that
a like tax in Vermont to be collected
by gasoline dealers and turned over
to the state treasurer would amount
to $250,000 annually. This amount
added to what the state already re-
ceives for it's highway fund, would go
quite ways in building permanent
roads, so-called. Mr.. Paddock does
not seem to favor bonding the state
for highway purposes, but does look
on the gasoline tax with favor.
Here is a proposition to be care
fully worked out. 1t may be an i'm
portant factor in solving satisfactory
ly the states highway problem. 1t
is pointed out that the tax would be
more successful as a revenue produc-
er if ii was in force in all the states
in New England. Yet Connecticut
going lit alone seems to fare well.

Instead of lowering near the fire
they are decking themselves in the
proper clothing and they are faring
forth into the winter air as if the
weather was made for their especial
benefit. Not only the children are
doing it; their elders, and much
their elders, are doing it. This win
ter sports enthusiasm does not find
it's devotees simply among the young.
Perhaps the others do not go into the
sports with all the gusto of youth;
perhaps they pick the sports which
are more suited to their years. Be
that as it may, they are going into
the newfound, or revived, pleasures
of winter with not little anticipa-
ton. They no longer sit around and
look at the illustrated booklets of
Florida and California and long in
vain for the chance to recline in the
balmy weather of a warm climate;
the old longing does not gnaw at
their spirits with its never-ending
bite. For them winter is losing, has
lost, those terrors which once were
associated with it. The snow, the
ice, the cold, all are being turned to
profit profit in renewed youth, rein
vigorated physical being clearer brain
and more joyful existence. All this
the revival of winter outdoor pleas
ure is doing for them,
At last we in this northern region
are making something out of the
hitherto unsupported capital of a
Vermont winter. So nearly every lit
tie hamlet and town is DEVELOPING it's
winter sports clubs or it's individual
devotees. Some of them are doing
it on more pretentious scale than 9TH
ers, with considerable outlay of mon
ey and effort; but that is as they
may wish. Winter sports can be en-
joyed with mere sufficient outlay to
purchase the personal equipment nee
essary-the snowshoes, the skis, the
skates, the toboggan or some other
article of equipment. And let the
idea spread. Let the people more
and more become interested in this
outdoor life Of winter i'll northern
New England When not carried to
excess, to the handicap of other
necessary adjunct of life, it will be
well done, both for the individual and

It is one of those tendencies that are

ter financial outlook for our rural
towns in the near future.

The fire losses in Vermont in the
past five years have been almost
S4,4OO,OOO. This loss is paid by the
people at large, though the insurance
companies collect and pay over the
money. There is no escaping such
waste by the average person. Some
where, sometime, he must pay his
share. 1t therefore behooves each of
us to use care. Statistics tell US that
most fires are preventable. Among
the causes of fire which result in
large losses are noted, defective
chimneys, matches and smoking,
lightning, electricity and explosions.

He says IL appears abroad. AMI i'll a
large part at home, that Germany is
fully prosperous and that her eco
nomic condition is improving since
there is no unemployment in Ger
many and the demand is greater than
the production; yet the contrary Is
actually the case. Germany is selling
and squandering that which she
stored in former years. and is prsn-
dicing the foundation Of her later
resurrection. he declares.
One cause Of "our blind economic
self-weak kening." he asserts. lies IN
the fact that the Germans continually
use the mark not only as means OF
exchange and compensation but as
the standard of value. although IT'S

He diagnoses the economic charac-

Firstly, the leveling of all indi-

and secondly. the Capitalization Of
economics, the enforced regulation OF
production and consumption and the
EXCLUSION of competition, resulting In
costs and hunger and distress
He says that unfortunately these
characteristics and results also have
appeared dangerousiy in Germany.
