understood Pellctier was to get
$4,000 of the $4,000 fee paid by

Senator Reed, senior counsel for

Harding for pardon from three
year sentence imposed by federal

misuse of the mails in connection

vigorously opposed the move Of

the matter under discussion was

PRAISES FINE
THEATRESN
ST. J0HNSBURY
Public Criticized for Not
Supporting a Higher
Grade of Pictures

The Motion Picture Committee
Of the St Johnsbury Woman'a
Club has furnished a copy of its
report to the Calcdonian-Rccord.
The committee pays a fine tribute
to the clean, comfortable and or
dcrly thcaters IN st. Johnsbury
but criticizcs the public for its
nOn-support Of pictures of a mo t
uplifting and impoving class
The report follows:
The motion picture committee
chosen by the Woman's Club at
the December meeting wishes 10
make the following report:
In the first place we wish 10
ny that the object of this com
mittcc is to do everything in it,
power to make it possible for the
theatres to have the clcanc.t,
most uplifting and improving
clas, of pictures. We believe this
can be done only with the hearty
support Of the people of St.
Johnsbury, who believe in that
cla-- Of film. More people are
probably reached at the Motion
pictures than by any other organ
ization except the schools
The possibilities of the Motion
pictures are wonderful. What Il
privilege for people who cannot
travel, to see the beautiful coIorad
pictures of different parts Of the
country, news from all over tn
world and films representing some
Of the good plays shown in tn
larger citicol
Only 4 limited number Of
people can enjoy the finest cla~ j.
cal music and appreciate the mo
intellectual lecture. Hundreds cf
people, many children among
them, rely upon the Motion Pic
lures for entertainment and 70
lavation.
There are splendid sermons and
inspiration for higher living in
tn" right kind of picture.
So we feel that this is one o.
the big problems and we urge all
rood, high-mindcd citizens D
-how their appreciation and rive
their hearty support for all cloa1
and fine things shown at the
Theatres, in order that they NAV
helv 10 make it possible to hava
or'v that kind.
We oro sorry to say that in thc
~ pictures recommended for
their high moral standard have
not been well supported as pictur-
G.. Of lower standard Thus
