Through Traffic
On Vermont Ride

BELLOWS FALLS, Sept. %
A party of engineers is making
a survey of a part of the road fol
lowing the Connecticut river be-
tween the mouths of Williams and
Black rivers in this town and
Springfield, following closely the
course of the Connecticut river.
The survey is materially changing
the location of the former hilly
and little used country road and Is
intended to become part of the
state highway between New York
and the White mountains 1t is Z
beautifully scenic stretch of road
of about six miles. Heretofore
this through traffic from Bellows
Falls has been in New Hampshire
until Cheshire bridge between the
towns of Charestown, n. H., and
Springfield, w. was reached.
The preliminary survey indicated
an expenditure of about $250,00C
but the present definite survey
shows that a larger sum will be
required 1t is to be a federal as
sisted road, but constructed by the
Vermont highway department,
No actual work is expected to be
done this year, but d portion of j;
probably will be put under con
struction next year. Because Of
the size of the work and expense
invovled the work probably will
not be done all a, one time but'will
be distributed over a period Of 3
wears or more.

FIRE PREVENTION
WEEK PLANNED
FOR OCT. 2 TO 9
State Committee Appoints
Working Assistants In
Each County

Fire prevention week is to be
observed throughout the nation,
October 2 TO 9, inclusive, the dates
recalling the great Chicago fire of
1871. H. H, Hickok of Burlington,
chairman of the state committee
on fire prevention is making ar
engagements for the observance of
this week in Vermont through d
newspaper campaign, through
radio broadcasting of fire proven
ton material, if possible, and
through various other means to
reach the public. He is trying to
secure speakers for these dates in
the leading centers of the state
but owing to the great demand
for speakers, there do not seem to
be any available at just this time.
But Mr.. Hickok is still hopeful of
results.
The state committee on fire pre-
vention of which Mr.. Hickok is
the head, is made up as follows:
Addison county, r. F. Pinney
Middlebury; Bennington county,
William H. Wills, Bennington;
Caledonia county, A. B. Noyes, St.
Johnsbury; Essex county, George
L. Dyer, Island Pond; Franklin
county, N. n. Atwood, St. Adams;
Grand Isle county, Juan Robin
son, South Hero; Lamoille county,
B. w. Mcfarland, Hyde Park;
Orange county, John Dubois, Ran
dolph; Orleans county, George F.
Root, Newport; Rutland county,
Walter A. Clark, Rutland; Wash
ington county, James Sector,
Barre; Windham county, Linn
Taylor, Brattleboro; Windsor
county, Gilbert Davis, Windsor.
These men will act as chailmen
of county committees which will
organize units to spread the Cos
pei of fire prevention throughout
Vermont. The entire country is
coming to realize more and more
every year that the time to fight
fires is before they get started and
the fire prevention organization in
Vermont is doing its best to bring
about this attitude in Vermont tC
an even greater degree.
President Harding has proclaim
ed Oct. 9 as National Fire Pre-
vention Day.
