after including their labor, actual
tapping and selling, their profit at
the end of the season is negligible
But there isn't much farm work
in the Winter and early Spring
and the farmers theorized that
any work is better than none.
Hence maple syrup. The festival
idea originated the same way.
Townspeople and farmers wanted
a little diversion from their daily
routine.
Now festival time in Vernon
Vile is holiday. Schools close
and merchants gayly decorate the
town. Principle thoughts are pan
cakes, maple syrup and a good
time.

Singapore Only Base

Administration leaders in Con-
gress pointed out that if the
President allows American cargo
ships 10 enter the Gulf of Alden
and the Red Sea when the British
restore peace in Ethiopia and Fri
trea. the only available base from
which American naval ships can
provide protective patrol is from
Singapore.
A possibility exists, they dis
closed, that change in the Neu-
trality Act will be proposed by
President Roosevelt to permit him
10 lift combat zones on areas sur
rounding belligerent possessions
where there is no military or naval
activity
The proposed change also would
permit American merchant ships
to carry munitions TO ports IN
such areas. This is now barred by
the Neutrality Act.
