HOUSING PROBLEM TO
BE FACED AT ONCE
Plans Coming Before Board Of Trade
Which Is To Be
Renrnanized
Reorganized.

Reorganized.
The affirmative RESPONSE to the ap-
peal for service received from Benning-
ton men and women demonstrate that
they understand that this is the log
ical time to provide the town with an
Organization which will take care OF
its civic needs for many years to come.
1t is realized that the splendid achieve
ments OF the old Board of Trade are
but indications of what can be ac-
compl shed through modern organ
ization.
Many problems confront Bennington
at this time. chief among which Is
that OF providing sufficient. homes to
take care of our population. In the
program OF activities of the new Board
Of Trade proper housing facilities will
lead, and the entire strength of the
Board will be enlisted to bring about
an early solution of the problem. No
more important or vital activity than
this confronts any town today and the
directors are confident that, with the
assurance of support which they are
receiving. the new organization will
be successful in providing the neces-
sary accommodations.
The willingness of the men and
women assigned to the different COM
mittees to serve Bennington at this
critical time, is warrant for the as
surance thus early that. the movement
will be a big success. From all sides
come offers of personal service and
workers will not be lacking whenever
they are needed to assist in giving to
the community board OF trade of
which 1t may be proud.
Below are the names Of those who
will serve on the committees during
the reorganization of the Board of
Trade A glance at the personnel OF
these groups will convince the most
skeptical that this movement has be-
hind it the men and women who have
been factors in the towns patt ad-
vancement and their service in the
present campaign guarantees success.
