success is awaited on the two big
carnival days, Friday and Satur-
day, April % and 20. A meeting
of the Auto Show committee was
held at the Elks Home Friday ev-
ening when reports were made by
the various committees.
Display space has been sold to
dealers for the exhibition of 100
cars or more. Already there are
26 separate exhibits on which the
Auto Show committee can abso-
lutely depend. With the show still
three weeks away, judging from
the. continual demands for space
to display cars, indications are
that April % and 20 will be two
of the busiest and liveliest days
ever spent in St. Johnsbury.
Enthusiasm for the first annu-
al st. Johnsbury Auto Show has
spread like wild fire. Taking its
inception in st. Johnsbury about
two weeks ago, the idea was wide
ly broadcastcd by the press, with
the result that surrounding towns
are entering into the enterprise
with Zest. Several automobile
dealers in Newport have significd
their intention to exhibit new mo-
tor vehicles at the Auto Show and
dealers from Woodsville, Little
ton, Lyndonville, McIndoes, East
Ryegate, Barton, Derby Line and
Berlin will be represented at the
show.
That the St. Johnsbury Auto
Show will serve as a great boost
to business seems a forcgone CON
clusion. The effects of the Auto
Show already appear to extend
beyond the fondest hopes of the
committee in charge of the ar
rangements. At the meeting at
the Elks Home Friday evening
were. General chairman, Howard
B. Blossom; treasurer, Fred w.
Kelley; secretary, Perley j Hill;
Fabian S. Reed of the merchants
committee. and Robert r. Wake

properties committee. Paul Gil

who will oversee the details while
the Auto Show is in progress, was
also in attendance at the meeting.
On April %, one week before
the Auto Show and United Com
mcrcial Travellers Minstrels, the
Calcdonian-Record will appear
with its regular issue, swelled to
nearly % pages by the extra
volume of advertising that has
been poured in by the automobile
dealers and merchants who are
anxious to cash in on the guaran-
teed 10000 circulation on that
day. All advertisers are urged to
get their advertising copy in as
soon as possible in order to be
assured of participation in the eX-
ira L. c. T. and Auto Show cdi-
ton on April %.
The Auto Show and U. G. 7.
committees plan to make Friday,
April %, the big opening day of
the two day carnival A band will
be in attendance to furnish music
and to keep things humming con
stantly. Besides there will be a
grand street parade which will be
expected to provide additional at
tractiye power to pull thousands
of spectators to st. Johnsbury.
With two days of most any kind
of weather, St. Johnsbury will
see an influx of the greatest crowd
in the history of the place.

LAWRENCE, Mass, April s.
The closing for an indefinite pc
riod of the Pacific mills, which is
the principal mill effected by the

JURY BRINGS IN
$500 VERDICT
FOR EGCLESTON
Second Trial of Malprac-
practice Case Results In
Favor of Plaintiff

The jury in the Caledonia county
malpractice case of Royal A.
Eggleston against DR.. f. H. Ross
of st. Johnsbury and David r.
Brown of Lyndonville, before
Judge Harland b. Howe in Feder-
al court at Montpelier, returned
verdict at nine o'clock Friday eve
ming for Eggleston to recover
$500.
This is the second trial of the
case. When the case was first
heard last January the jury dis
agreed.
Mr.. Eggleston sued for a large
amount of damages and claimed
that when he was operated on by
these doctors they did their work
with undue haste which resulted
in their leaving a sponge gauzc
sewed up in the wound, and that it
has caused him much i'll health and
suffering.
The defense claimed that if haste
was shown in the operation it was
necessary in order to save the life
of the patient, for he was in Il
very critical condition at the time
and his life was dispaired of.
The attorneys for the former
East Burke man were David L.
Porter of st. Johnsbury and Ray
mond w. Trainor of White River
Junction and for the defendants, j.
Rolf Searles of St. Johnsbur5 md
Warren Il. Austin of Burlington.

question in the testimony seemed

went with the protest that he

NEWPORT HIGH
ONE OF BEST
TEAMS in STATE
Record Shows Remark
able Basketball Five
at Newport

Notwithstanding press COM
ments to the contrary, Newport
High School should be clasSed as
one of the three best teams in
Vermont. It's failure to get games
in the western section of the
Green Mountain state has some
what shaded its standing in the
eyes of Sport Editors in that
section as they have been unable
to see this promising bunch of
court cavorters in action. To fos-
ter its claim Newport High School
has several good reasons.
Dean Academy, one of the fast
est prep school teams in New
England, nosed out a 25 to "a
victory in a game consisting of
an overtime period. Lisbon, N.
H., one of the best teams in New
Hampshire was trounced 20 to
13 on their own court. Hanover
High school was defeated 80 to
20 by the highly rated Spaulding
High quintet of Barre, while New
port defeated them by an over
whelming score 60 to 10. Hard
wick A. defeated them at Hard
wick but refused to meet New
port High school at Newport or
st. Johnsbury, as they stated
they did not want to lose their
trip to Tufts Tournament. St
Albans was decisively defeated at
Newport 43 to 20. They cancell-
ed on Newport High school twice
and to the surprise Of the Border
City the officials in charge of the
Vermont Tournament stated that
Newport High school must play
st Adams to pick the eighth team
to compete. 1t is true that New
port was defeated, but in all fair
ness it must be said that the play
ing of Newport High school was
not up to par and the ratio of
fouls called, 36 on Newport and 8
on St. Albans does not seem quite
right. The Newport Co. Lam
Legion was defeated by the high
school stars twice. All the teams
in Northeastern Vermont were
lost before the Newport attack,
including: Richford, Derby, Or
leans, Craftsbury, and others.
This summary would back the
Newport school in their
claim as one Of the best teams in
the state.
Solon Hill, the fast and intcgra-
tive Newport forward was one
who played his last game for
Newport High school. His play
ing was far above the average
and he should not have been
overlooked by choosers of All
Vermont teams. In. every game
he played the ball to the man with
the best shot position thereby add
ing greatly to Newport's points.
He will be missed not only in
basketball, but in baseball, as he
is the slab artist for the Border
City high.
Larry Gardner, Sims running
mate, led the scoring with his to-
thai of 287 points. His famous
hook shots have won many a
game and have been the despair
of many a guard. He has been the
sure shot of the team all season
as record proves.
Capt.-elect Lem Allbce has been
the steady player of the year. His
