Chairman Finance Committee.
Editor of Caledonian
Dear Sir:
The splendid financial showing
made by the St. Johnsbury Win
ter Sports club with a balance of
over 500 and all bills paid is due
| to the energy and good judgment
displayed by several members of
the committee. Mr.. Milton l..
Julian, chairman of finances de-
serves much credit in this regard.
He was ably seconded by the
treasurer, Mr.. Clyde Sleeper. Mr..
and Mrs. Ebert ]. Lynch spent
hours of labor on the rather
thankless tasks of the ticket com
mittee. Many dollars were saved
to the club by the ingenious and
continuous efforts of Mr.. Leon H.
Baxter, chairman of the rink COM
mttee. Mr.. r. Z. Church with
a group of willing workers effect
cd untold savings in the CON
struction of both toboggan chute
No. l and No. 2. The Twin
State Gas and Electric Co, did the
| Sports Club lighting at an UNI
heard of figure. DR.. Wilmer Fitch,
chairman Of the snowshoe com
mttee made this branch of the
club practically self-supporting.
One check on expenditures was
due to a speech provision of the
constitution which any many
headed organization could well
imitate,-"no person shall con-
tract any bill without the previous
| written consent of the finance
committee" This it seems is a
hard rule for St. Johnsbury bust
ness men to remember. For years
it has been the custom for people
to run breathlessly into our stores
and offices and say, 81 manager
o. This, or chairman of That! |
want some of this and some more
of that! Charge it to this, or
thatw The result has been many
times disastrous to good organi-
cations Of this town. Nothing so
chills enthusiasm as big deficits
On the other hand nothing goes
farther toward making coopera-
ton cheerful than a comfortably
furnished treasury at the end of a
season of activity.
Many other sources of unselfsh
help have been open to the club.
These people must derive much
satisfaction at having thus added
to the health and happiness of the
town.
Respectfully yours,
DALE S. ATWOOD,
Pres. Winter Sports Club.
