STREET SKATING
PLAN IS OPPOSED
Roping Off Thoroughfares
Held Unfair to Many
Residents.

An unfavorable report on the suK-
gestion that certain streets be roped
off as skating rinks for children was
! submitted to Commissioner Oyster to-
! day by Inspector Albert j. Headley
head Of the police trafiic bureau.
Inspector Headley made the report
after considering resolutions from the
Thirteen Club, which contained the
proposal.
Thinks Plan Unfair.
The police official told the Commits
sioner he did not believe such a step
would be for the best interests Of tho
community. He said there no doubt
are unfrequented streets that could be
roped off, but he added that no did not
believe 1t would be fair to the resi-
dents of such streets to concentrate
all Of the skaters Of the neighborhood
In front Of a few houses.
Commissioner Oyster indicated that
he would discuss the skating problem
with his colleagues at the board meet
Ing today, but he said he had no def
mite plan to lay before them for its
solution at this time.
Mrs. Ellis Logan. chairman OF the
public welfare committee OF the Dis
trict Federation of Women's Clubs, an
nounced that her committee would meet
Wednesday to discuss ways Of safe
guarding children from accidents while
skating.
All Have Rights.
my feeling in the matter IL that
grown up people should consider care
fully the rights Of. our boys and girls
to play, and that children in turn
should recognize the rights Of their
elders" said Mrs. Logan.
Mrs. Logan said there are number
of mothers on her committee and she
felt sure they would have valuable sug-
gestions to make at the meeting next
week.
Commissioner Oyster said he was i'm
pressed by the suggestion Of Miss Eliza
beth Mahon, a playground worker. that
skating rinks be laid of on the muni-
cipal Fairgrounds.
It may be that funds are not avail
able Immediately to lay strips of con-
crete for skating purposes around tho
Fairgrounds, but the Commissioner in
dicated that he would seriously con-
slider the suggestion.

Doue of Peace Gets II, Offing
As Maruels of Ordnance ROur

Shells and tractors that seem to
think for themselves and other post
war marvels of ordnance development
were demonstrated today at the Aber-
deem MdD proving grounds. in con-
nection with the fourth annual meet
ing of the Army Ordnance Associa-
ton.
The dove of peace sought seciusion
in a far-away wood as a violent bar
rage was opened up from the line"
and Mars himself trembled when a
2,000-pound projectile. fired from a
16-inch gun, penetrated sixteen inches
of armor steel before it exploded. A
huge bomber away up in the clouds
then dropped 2,000-pOund egg"
which. requiring twentythree sec
onds to reach its destination, tore up
an excavation fifty feet in diameter
and forty feet or more in depth. In
marked contrast to this tremendous
explosive was a shell with a sensitive
fuse, SO devised to Withstand the
shock Of firing. yet which will explode
airplane wing.
Gun With 23-Mile Range.
A 14-inch gun with an extreme
range of twenty-three miles also was
nred. Its projectile weighed 1850
pounds and. en- route to the target il
could pass over the highest known
mountain peak. experts say. On strik-
ing its objective, it penetrated thirty
to forty feet into the ground, making
a crater sixty feet in diameter and
thirty feet deep.
OF the smaller arms demonstrated
there was a one-half-inch caliber ma
chine gun with a range of five miles.
1t fired 500 shots per minute and the
big bullets penetrated fifty inches of
oak wood at 400 yards. This gun has
range increase of three miles over
those used in the world war, officers
said.
The last of the explosive demon
stration will be given tonight when
airplane flares, which will give as
much light as 10000 ordinary electric
bulbs, will be dropped, to burn for six
or seven minutes.
More "Peaceful Denominations.
OF the more peaceful demonstra-
tions were the amphibious reconnais-
eance tractor and the radio directed
tank. The former has speed of
twelve miles an hour across rough
country and can negotiate any stream.

in response to radio signals from an
officer in another tank.

Farm Bureau Officers Confer with
State Officials.

Last week the officers of the Or
leans County Farm Bureau visited the
Vermont Farm Bureau Federation
Office at Burlington and discussed
plans with E. B. Cornwall, the man
aging director of the federation. Pres
ident r. A. Dutton, Secretary B. r.
Buchanan and County Agent Abel
were present at the conference.
Mr.. Cornwall outlined the work of
the State federation and discussed
local problems. He made a trip the
previous week to Washington in the
interests of the bill establishing bet
ter rural credit facilities and reported
the present situation with regard to
that bill and the Ford Mussel Shoals
tender.
The State federation is also making
a study of the tax situation in Ver-
mont.
The committee appointed by the
state executive committee for this
purpose consists of E. B. Cornwall of
Middlebury, president of the state
federation; J. A. Leach, Pawlet,
chairman of the state federation's
legislative department, and c.. w
Fitch, East Montpelier, president of
the Washington County Farm Bu-
reau.
According to the State Federation
officials this investigation is being
started without prejudice or any pet
hobby, and is simply an honest effort
to study the situation.
Taxation is an intricate and tech
nical subject. The farmers organi-
zation feels that the farmers and the
general public know too little about
the subject. Every effort will be
made to study it in comprehensive,
broad-minded way.
H. G. Mckenzie of Walton, N. Y,
was in Burlington to help the COM
mittee. Mr.. Mckenzie is tax ex-
pert of national reputation. He is
the only farmer representative on the
National Industrial Conference board.
Mr.. Mckenzie is the author of the tax
policy of the American Farm Bureau
Federation and the Agricultural Bloc.
Mr.. Mckenzie and members of the
will spend the week in
conferences with state officials, bank
ers and men prominent in tax affairs.
