BE CAREFUL, THOUGH

There is some concern felt over the
reports that the flu has reached the
epidemic stage in New York, and spec
ulation is advanced as to whether Yer
mont will receive another touch Of the
scourge. In New York, to be sure, the
situation has become quite serious,
although the cases are not so hard as
they were during the epidemic OF 1918,
Vermonters are somewhat assured by
a statement of DR.. Dalton, secretary of
the Board of Health, who says that
while there are a few scattered cases in
the state, there is nothing approaching
an epidemic this year. The Doctor
further stated that it was very improb-
able that we would have in Vermont
any serious difficulty at the present
time, owing to the fact that physicians
are better prepared to cope with condi-
tons at the very first appearance OF
the dread trouble, and so many are
really immune from the disease be-
cause of its general sweep through the
state in 1918 and 1919.
Encouraging as is this information
people should bear in mind the precau-
tionary measures that they can indi-
vidually take to ward off lurking
dangers.

NOT TO BE FEARED

The acceptance of the provisions OF
the Sheppard Towner maternity act on
the part of the Governor has been
received by bowls of protests from
certain bitter opponents of the measure
and has led to the spreading of con-
siderable misleading statements relative
to the workings, provisions and effects
of the act.
To begin with, the purpose OF the act
is one primarily of child welfare. Those
who are under the impression that it
means an invasion of the sanctity OF the
home have received this idea from the
attacks made against the measure by
its most severe critics. There is no
doubt but that the fears and delicacies
of the people have been played upon
to a great extent in the discussion of
the act The campaign against it has
been conducted largely on an emotil al
basis.
The act provides that the federal
government extend aid to such states
as accept the provisions OF the act for
the purpose Of promoting and aiding
welfare and hygiene of maternity and
infancy. The bill is supposed to be
construed as an intention to secure to
the separate states the control over
the workings of the act in each respec-
tive state.
There does not seem to be any basis
for real fears relatives to an invasion
of the privacy of the home, for it is
expressly stipulated that neither a
nurse nor a physician engaged in the
welfare work can enter a home over
the objections of the parents.
There is no doubt but that many
children born in poverty are started
out in life with serious handicaps
because OF negligence or ignorance OF
the expectant mother With special
facilities and the proper organization
duly authorized, suffering in many
cases can doubtless be alleviated and
the comfort and health of mother and
child secured through humanitarian
measures.

The horror of the Knickerbocker
theatre disaster in Washington is inten-
sihed by the report of engineers in the
investigation conducted by the Senate.
They plainly state that the disaster
was due to bad engineering, coupled
with cheap and faulty construction.
It seems as though this country had
had lessons enough in faulty construc-
ton, with its accompanying toll OF
human lives, to effect right now a
system of building inspection that
would do away for all time with all
such unnecessary tragedies as the

WINTERS OPPORTUNITIES


Vermonters are beginning to realize
that there is an advantage in boosting
the state as winter resort. The
charms of the snow-clad hills and the
bracing air of winter prove exhilirating
to our city cousins in their quest for
additional red corpuscles.
The metropolitan press devotes pages
and pictures to the winter carnival
craze and the re-awakening to virile
winter sports. At one time Canada
was invaded every winter by American
pleasure seekers who, dashed with snow
shoes, tramped the snowy slopes OF
Mount Royal or the Plains of Abra-
ham, clad in the coloriul and pictur-
esuue Canadian rigs with capuchon
and ceinture rouge. Each winter the
mammoth ice palace erected at Mont
real was a mecca for tourists from the
uttermost parts OF the globe But Can
ada, even, did not fully realize the inn
portance of her winter charms and toll
Grated the activities as something that
came to her because of misfortune in
being placed so close to the north pole
instead of making capital Of that geo
graphical fact and rejoicing in her
drifts and icy mountains Times have
changed in the Dominion, however.
Now they are advertising their cold
and snow, and the fact dawns on them
that what they feared was an unmen-
tionable misfortune, is in reality one
of the country's most potential assets.
Nermont's opportunities as a winter
resort are just as great as Canada's
and the time is coming when they will
be generally developed, The carnival
idea has spread to some Vermont
towns, whose people are learning that
there is just as much good, wholesome
fun and helpful recreation on snow
shoes, skis and toboggans as there is
in canoes, motor boats or automobiles
Vermont has only one thing to CON
slider in the development Of her towns
as winter resorts and that is warm,
comfortable hotel quarters. people
from the city welcome the rough win
ter trail, and the deep, chilling drift
but when they get in at night they
demand a well-lighted, storm proof
steam-heated room If you give them
that, and plenty of buckwheat cakes
with maple syrup that really saw a
maple tree, they'll stay awhile and
what is more they will come another
season.
There are a few places in the state
that have enjoyed a certain amount OF
winter tourist business and gradually
have catered to the comforts of theil
guests until they are enjoying a patron
age that is steady and a reputation
thai is enviable. Notable, of course
among such Vermont hostelries is the
Woodstock Inn, which has been a ia
vorite winter rendezvous for New Horl
people for a good many years. Yer
mont is increasing year by year as
iavorite summer playground for vaca
ton seekers. There is no reason VIII,
the state couldn't enjoy an equal dis
tinction in the winter Proper housing
facilities and a bit OF loud footing OIL
