PLAN FOR BIG
AUTO SHOW ON
APRIL 28-29
General Committee Makes
Minute Preparations
For Big Event

Detailed plans were perfected
last evening at a meeting of the
general committe at the Elks
Home to carry through to sue
cess the st. Johnsbury Auto Show,
which is to be held in conjunction
! with the United Commercial TRAY
, elers 'Minstrels on Friday and
Saturday, April 20 and 20. Moth
ing is being left undone by the
general committee, headed by
Howard B. Blossom, to make the
| First Annual Auto Show a big
success.
The fact that the Auto Show
is tied up with the Minstrels will
be a source of great mutual help.
In addition, the Auto Show COM
mittee is guaranteed the undivided
support Of the st. Johnsbury Com
mercial Club, which means that
every merchant will cooperate to
help make the affair a wonderful
success. Jonas H. Brooks, presi-
dent of the Commercial Club, is a
member of the general Auto Show
committee.
1t was voted by the general COM
mttee last evening to hold the
Auto Show on the Common, if
the ground is sufficiently dry on
April 28 and 20 to permit of much
traffic. If the Common is not in
suitable shape, the Auto Show will
be held on Main street, North of
Church street. The trustees of
tIo xilln,rn af O. f0l u h,t.sxF hax
offered the use of any street for
the automobile display, and will
| furnish the necessary policing and
traffic regulation to handle the
crowds. -.
The work of the general COM
mittee, to whose care is entrusted
the successful prosecution of the
Auto Show, has been subdivided
to insure created efficiency. Fred
W. Kelley, a member of the
United Commercial Travelrs, has
been appointed treasurer and
chairman of the financial commit
tee. Serving with him on the fl
nancial committee are Howard B.
Blossom and Perley J. Hill upon
both of whom will devolve the ad-
vertising and publicity.
On the properties committee,
which will assume charge of the
spaces allotted to the automobile
dealers at the show, are Robert
II. Wakefield and Frank H. Tap
lin. Messrs. Wakefield and Tap
lin will secure the necessary ac-
coutrements such as standards
and placards to indicate the vari
Gus displays of the automobile
dealers.
The merchants committee will
consist of Jonas H. Brooks, presi-
dent of the st. Johnsbury Com
mercial club and Fabian S. Reed.
1t will be their work to acquaint
the merchants with the various
avenues of cooperation which will
be open TO them to aid the Auto
Show-and help make it great,
big community enterprise.
Other committeeman will be ap-
pointed to carry out further ideas
which will present themselves as
time goes on. Paul Gilman, was
unanimously chosen by general
committee last evening to act as
marshall of the Auto Show. He
assume the duties of sort of
overseer, after the show is in pro-
gresS.

yesterday were f. f. Vancour of
Newport who helped overhaul and
repair Davio's car, and who testl-
fled that it was worth about $500
or $700 and that it was not worth
repairing now.
John Frechette of Barton, a
garage and auto repair worker of
IL years experience, testified to
the damage of the car and said
it had no market value now.
ID. Cowles of Barton, another
garage man, also testified to the
same facts in substance. The
testimony of Lawrence Brandon,
foreman at the Lindsay Garage,
and with 20 years experience,
was practically the same as the
others.
Asked if he had not urged any
one to buy the wrecked auto, he
admitted he had, and when asked
who, said, "the junk man" Bran

Wild Geese Are
FLYING NOrthward

Along with the thunderstorm
and rain and wind of Tuesday

also like the storage autos. The
flying wedge of these interesting
honkers always cttfact attention
when their travel notes are heard.
