BREAK GROUND
FOR HOSPITAL
AT NEWPORT
Plan Building to Begin
May 1st-Ready This
Autumn

After three years of strenuous
labor and planning on the part of
the various committees the Or
leans County Memorial hospital is
to materialize.
Within a few days at least by
May 1 operations will have COM
mcnced and it is confidently eX-
pected that it will be ready for
use this fall.
The beautiful and slightly loca-
ton on the west side of Newport,
the gift of Mrs. John Young,
president Of the Hospital Associa-
ton, is admirably situated for the
purpose. 1t is far away from the
business section and has the dcs-
irable advantages that an institu
ton of this kind requires, high and
airy, and commands a wonderful
view of the lake and hills.
The architectural design of the
hospital is cottage plan, and the
finished design and prints show
composite plan, evolved from
plans and suggestions submitted
by Mrs. Walter Hinman From
this draft and the advice and sug-
gestions of C. w. Williams of
Boston, acting engineer for all of
the Methodist hospitals in the
United States, H. O. Smith, the
builder, has drawn the plans and
visualized their ideas and his own.
The construction of the building
will be of terra Gotta hollow tile,
faced with brick, and the base
ment and first story will be fire
proof construction.
The building committee, Josiah
H. Grout, chairman, with Frank
Sabourin and George l.. Macdiar-
mid, have already placed contracts
for some of the materials requir-
cd, and every contract for labor
or materials will be under the i'm
mediate control of the committee.
This committee is giving its
services and will see to it that no
percentages or rake-offs of any
kind occurs.
The main building will face the
east and is 107X40.6 it., and is
lilcc SlOIlCS IllSn dDONc CllC DdSC-
ment. The annex is on the west
side and will be two stories above
basement and the dimensions are
81 ft. X 40.6.
The large front porch is on the
east or front side 14X41 it., two
stories, and the top will be fitted
up as IA sun parlor The side en-
trance on the south end has a suit
able porch and there is a third en-
trance to the annex on the west
side.
The first OF main floor of the
building which faces Longview St,
has at the right the main office
12X12, next the office of the sup
elintendent, 12X16, and bath 6x11.
At the left of the entrance is the
reception room 15x16 ft. On this
floor are seven private patients
rooms, bath adjoining all 12X15
#. There are also linen closets, Il

likely that all the cases set for jury

The docket also include II di-
vorce cases, six state cases and
eight chancery cases. There is a
prospect of considerable new bust
ness to come up when the term
opens, which with that already in
sight on the regular docket, prom
ises at least as long term as
usual and possible the longest for
some time. st. JohnsburY , and
Newport attrneys are associated

u. G. I've salute

U. c. I've salute you
You arc a bunch of live wires.
This edition Of the Caledo-
nian-RcCord is u testimonial
to the progressiveness and ag-
gressiveness of the st. Johns
bury Council, No. 230, Order
of United Commercial TRAY
elers of America. These boys
during the week sell every
thing from prunes to automo-
bile trucks. If there is any
thing raised or produced on
Gods green earth or origin
ated through the ingenuity of
man or beast, these boys
know about it and can sell it
to you. In other words, they
are what was once known as
"drummers' but have now
risen to the dignity of sales
men, sales agents and distrib-
uting agents.
During the week they travel
all over Northern Vermont
and New Hampshire pouring
their gilt-edged wares over
the counters Of smiling mer-
chants ard on Saturdays they
troop home to st. Johnsbury
where, on account Of the su-
perior railroad facilities, and
the fact that their wives and
families reside here, they
make merry over the week
end and prepare for the stren-
uous week ahead.
These live wires arc a valu-
able asset to the community
life of st. Johnsbury. They
hold monthly suppcrs and
dances which arc very enjoy
able family gatherings. Once
a year they give Il minstrel
show which is the dramatic
classic of the year. If any
project comes up which means
the good of the town or The
best interests Of the commu-
nifty, you viii always find the
u. c. T. boys ready TO lend
their cooperation and energy
to push the project over. And
they are some pushcrs.
Life in St. Johnsbury would
be deprived of 50 per cent
of its joy if it were not for
the presence of the U. c. T.
Long may they continue to
make St. JohnSbury their
headquarters and long may
they continue to live among
us. We admire them. We
respect them. We enjoy them.
And we are all going to their
minstrel show and applaud
them. Long live the u. c. T.

START PLAN FOR
RECONSTRUCTING RUSSIA

GENOA, April 22-ActuaI work
on plan for reconstruction OF
Russia was started today by eX-
perts representing the soviet gov
ernment, France, British, Italy and
other nations. The heated politics,
surrounding the Russian problem
has been cooled by M. Chicherin's
note accepting the allies formula
stating the terms on which the
great powers are willing to resume
business relations with Russia. The
question is thus suddenly changed
from political to economic so far as
the Genoa conference is concerned
and there seems to be bright pros
poets for successful outcome.
