Co. ID Will Have to
Go Strong Tonight

The basket ball game between
Company d and the New Hamp-
shire collegians at the Armory to-
night, has all the earmarks of be-
ing a contest equal in thrills to
the battle with the Hudson team
on Christmas day.
Every Man on the line up of the
visitors is one tried and true worth
and reputation With such men in
their aggregation the visitors will
present an attack that will keeT
the locals guessing for the entire
game. Whether Co. d can con-
tinue its winning streak unbroker
depends upon oonight'S game
With the Fernald brothers, Emer.
son, Mctcalf, and Kii,o and Lang
any where in the vicinity the hith-
erto unbeaten hoopsterS may get
the fight of their :ives.
Last but no means least is the
contest between Tie Academy and
the academy alumni. There is al
ways considerable feeling be.
tween those who at present attend
Il school, and those who have gone
before, especially IN the athletic
line, because of the traditions, anc
brave things that have seen done
for the alma mater. The game to-
night because of these features
should develop the best there is in
both teams.

RECALLS ST. J.
SO YEARS AGO
John A. Macdonald Writes
of Early Days of
CaledOnian

The Caledonian-Record has re-
ceived an interesting letter from
an "old timer" of st. Johnsbury
who relates incidents of 80 years
ago and of the carry days of the
Caledonian. He writes from Coffee
Trinity County, California, and his
name is John A. Macdonald.
His letter refers to recent
magazine article in which the
early days of the Caledonian were
recalled. This was undoubtedly
the Saturday Evening Post story
about Walter Husband, Commits
sioner General of immigration, in
which Mr.. Husbands early con-
nection with the Caledonian were
recalled.
Mr.. MacDonald's letter follows
Dear Editor:
| read an article in a mag
azine a short time ago in
which the author, in describ-
ing his early experiences,
spoke of working a while on
the St. Johnsbury Caledonian
and my thoughts went back to
that old town that | left over
so years ago. got to wonder
ing what changes had taken
place since then so l thought
| would ask you 70 send me a
few sample copies of your pa
per and see if there were any
old familiar names mentioned.
