Rev. r. H. Blac&Durn, who has
been chosen to head the local
branch of the Red Cross for the
coming year has appointd Mrs. w.

lor a committee to handle the an
nual membership drive which
closes on Thanksgiving Day. MrS.

The committee has done great
deal of preliminary work in diVid-
ing the city into aections and APP
pointing captains for the various
parts. The complete list will be an
nounced within day or two. The
committee plans a thorough cam
paign and the solicitors will make
it a point to see every adult in the
city. When every section has re-
ported a clean up team will solicit
those who have not been seen or
who do not respond to the regular
solicitor. The Red Cross in this
city is doing a great deal of need
ed work and should have the sup
port of every person. The one dol

asked of anyone for a year and
this dollar is the only support the
Red Cross has.

ACADEMY GETS
FINALCONTEST
BY SCORE l4T0 0
Vocational School Team
Offers Stubborn
Resistance

One of the best games seen on
the Campus this season was played
between st. Johnsbury Academy
and Fairbanks Vocational school
Saturday afternoon. There was all
kinds of fight and spirit from the
minute the whistle blew for the
first kick off until the end of the
game, and every one of the four
teer points gained by the Academy
was bitterly contested by the No-
catlonal lads. In spite of the lat
ter's gallant resistance and the
snla shing attack of McCrillis they
were not able to put the oval over
for a much desired touchdown.
The work of McCrills of the
Vocational school was the saliva
ticn of his team. Without the
sterling attack of that husky lad
on both offense and defense the
score would have been much larg-
er. Hoar, the stocky little quarter
of the. Vocational school was also
an outstanding feature in the
game. For the Academy Darling,
as usual was a tower of strength
while Kellogg and Willard played
fine games at their respective po-
sitions.
The Vocational won the toss UP
and elected to defend the west goal
while the Academy received. Mann

ADDRESS ON
ARMISTICE DAY
Rev. DeLapp Speaker at
American Legion
Exercises

A very small number consider
ing the significance of the occa-
sion met at the Globe Theatre at
1915 A. NJ. Saturday in obser-
vance of Armistice Day. The meet
ing was in charge of Col. John W.
Tinker, commander of W. X.
Knapp Post No. 50 of the Amer
lean Legion.
The audience was composed for
the most part of eX-service men,
only small number being in uni
form. Among them was George
Wishart, who owns a large farm
near Centervale who served over
seas with the AZ Canadian Battal-
ion, in the Black Watch regiment
of the Royal Scottish Highlanders.
Wishart who was clad in the pic
turesque uniform of this the most
famous of the English regiments,
was thrice decorated for bravery,
twice by the British government
and once by the French.
The meeting opened with pray
er by Rev. Dr. Hylton of the
Grace Methodist church, followed
by vocal solo Lest We Forget
by Mrs. Richard LevaSseur. The
entire body stood in silence for
two minutes in honor OF the dead
comrades. Selections from Amer
can Legion ritual were read by 1t.
Col. Tinker, Ralph Howes, Hugh
Clifford and Bernard Daniels, fol-
lowed by violin solo by Paul ST.
manton.
The Rev. Ambrose c. DeLapp
of the South Congregational
church, in his address which was
short but intensely interesting and
to the point, compared the patriot
ism of the American Legion to
that of the Spartans, and said that
the danger of American life is to
forget the significance of Armis-
tice Day, and urged the Legion to
keep the true sense of it ever be-
fore the minds of the people
He said: "The war to the men
who were across meant sharpnel,
mud, and cooties," and added,
"the greatest of these were the
cooties."
People at home were also suf-
fering untold agony from imagina-

BANDIT MILLS
AGAIN SLIPS BY
POLICE GUARD
Especial to Caledonian- Record

Especial to Caledonian- Record
WORCESTER. Mass, Nov. L.
George Mills, the 18 year old
bandit, escaped early this morning
from a squad of Worcester patrol
mel and detectives after they had
him cornered on bridge near
Sears Island, Indian Lake, early
last night. The Worcester police
received tip that an automobile
bearing Vermont registration
pls tes was seen near Indian Lake
and two patrolmen and three de-
tectlveS were rushed to the scene.
They remained under cover for
several hours and then eight boys
tulred up. Three were captured
and the other five. including Mills,
escaped by swimming from the Is
land to the mainland, a distance of
% yards.
The three captured were grilled
for several hours and chief of po-
lice George H. Hill said they ad-
mitted Mills was with them. Later
in the day the police received a
report from Mrs. John Tolbert, a
resident of the island. that her mo-
tor boat had been stolen. The po-
lice then thought it possible that
Mills used the row boat to escape
in after swimming to the main
f1-xr
ing to find out if the automobile
had been stolen from Vermont and
are in communication with the po-
lice of that state.
Residents on the island say Mills
is familiar with its surroundings as
he camped there all last summer.
a squad Of patrolmen were station
ell near the island all morning but
no trace of Mills was found.

the noon meal, and as Mrs. Harris
went about ner work, Mr.. Harris
offered to dry the dishes, as he of

heap on the floor. Help was sum-
moned at once, and Dr. f. d. Bad
ger and Dr. B d. Longe arrived
in a very short time, but life was
already extinct.
