State Societies


The traditional New England

Mr.. Hill is planning to enliven
activities and get more young

Hitherto there has been a
more conservative program with
highlight. At these parties maple
syrup is boiled. then laid on snow
to harden before it's eaten.
Due to Washington's cratic
snow, the "sugarin' off" party
had to rely on ice the last few
years. But this traditional Ver-
mont speciality always brings an
overflow crowd.
The justices of the peace are

only one for Vermont's $4,000
population-45th ranking State
in the Union.
Other justices of the peace
are Joseph Fairbanks, Ugo Ca

Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, Sth

ferent countries and peoples there
are always loose ends to be tied

The arrangements, he said, were

Johns Considers
Asking Ruling On

TALLAHASSEE B-Acting Gov.
Johns is considering whether to get
a court ruling on his eligibility to
run for the unexpired term of the
late Gov. Dan Mccarty.
| He was asked whether he would
proceed to run on the presumption
that he was made eligible when
the Cabinet Tuesday struck out

by the 1858 Legislature, or seek
decision from the courts.
I'm considering whether to put
the question to the courts" he
answered. II don't want to say

II is being suggested by certain
ciyic leaders that Key West is in
need Of an auditorium and a swim
ming pool. For what? Who are we
going to put in the auditorium? An
auditorium is only useful from q
cultural standpoint. The City Jail
is ample testimony that only bar
barians exist in Key West. OF what
good is an auditorium to barbar.
ians? And swimming pool!

swimming pools they want back
home. They come to Key West to
bask in the sun and to make use
of our beaches. A municipal pier
such as Benny Fernandez advocat-
ed is what is needed in Key West.
The $50, 900 mud-hole built by the
County Commissioners Is a crime
against the ocean!
