NOTICE Owing to the low voltage of our electric current and its ab sence at certain hours because of low water, the Monitor is bad ly ; handicapped. While the cur rent will drive : our motors, it does not properly melt the metal for casting linotype slugs and every line of reading matter is cast from metal electrically melt ed to 550 degrees. -A sligfet varia tion causes much trouble. Should our ubscribers fail to get a Mon itor next week don't think we have gone bankrupt, but pray for rain that electric current may again become normal and our linotype be able to resume its usual output. This issue is delayed several hours owing - to the cause above mentioned. BARTON There were 54 guets at Hotel Bar ton Sunday. A. W. Wessell of New York City is in town.'

RECEPTION TO REV. GILL People and Preachers ' in Camp at Westmore Honor Famous" Divine - . A reception was given at the church to Rev. and Mrs. Charles Otis Gill and family on Tuesday evening, Au gust 30. Supper was served from 5.30 o'clock on, the proceeds of which went for electric lights. In the even ing brief addresses were made in ap preciation of and in honor of the pas torate of Mr. Gill, the founder of the church. Rev. A. P. Reccord, pas tor of the First Unitarian church, Detroit, Mich., -presided and his re marks at various times . in introduc tion of the speakers were most happy and effective. Before introducing the other speakers, Mr. Reccord spoke in part as follows: 'There is. no danger in overdoing the -tribute to . this man tonight. I feel what it is to be the oldest living inhabitant. Twenty-seven years ago I came to Westmore. Mr. Gill came the year before. As a student preach-, er to a. nearby town I spent one week at. Willoughby lake. It seemed then as it seems now, that this is .one of the. most '.beautiful arid inspiring scenes, and it grows more so. Some part of about every, summer I have been htere. I" have watched the effect in this i parish .of Mr. Gill's activity. I can remember his scholarship, his earnestness and the fearlessness with which he approached the various prob lems. .No one missed hirii more than I did when the call came to him to go to a larger field. You have fol lowed him these years with sympathy and with good will and you have wel comed him back with a friendship that has endured." Mr. Marshall E. Calkins spoke as follows for the church. Mr. Gill not only founded the church but prepared the way to build this beautiful church building. For it is a beautiful church buildng a beautiful church in which to worship. We owe also to him the parsonage. I can say for all the members of the church that we can join in with what Mr. Reccord has said. He is the fa ther of the church. We have had good pastors but to Mr. Gill belongs the place of preeminence. We, as townspeople can thank Mr. and Mrs. Gill for the spirit of sociability that has grown from their work." Dean H. E. Hawkes of Columbia University, New York, spoke in part as follows: This is a rare chance we have to tell Mr. Gill what we think of him without great danger of embarrass ment. I never met Mr. Gill until last Saturday afternoon. I entered Yale in 1892, three years after Mr. Gill's graduation. The place was still re sounding with the fame of Charlie Gill. I asked why it was he had the hold he did. The answer was, 'He has a certain quiet power and a self effacing ability to make . everybody work together ,for a common cause.' Also that he was a respectable gentle, man. I often thought I would like to meet him. I have been on his trail for 30 years, I. never caught up to him. till last Saturday. During a col lege . vacation three or four of -us college mates were out on a camping trip. About 5 o clock a. m. we. passed through Westmore and having learn ed that Charlie Gill was staying at the hotel, we halted at the hotel and gave three cheers for Gill with three "Gills" at the end. He did . not appear. We always wondered wheth er he, heard those cheers. . He told me Saturday that he had no recollection of : the incident, . . .Concerning . 'Mr. Gill's , work1 since college - daysi the same qualities have . characterized it. No, satisfaction deeper or more signi ficant can come .to 'a. man than to have left behind him "the loyal friends Mr. Gill had here and the institution that , did not .exist before he came. Here he. set up his Ebenezer, signify ing that hitherto' the Lord hath been with him arid through these inter vening years God has been' with him This church is his 'monument. ' v Prof. Wm. Rockwell of Union Theo logical' seminary, New York, then spoke in part as follows : - -.r:; ' , "I knew about Mr. Gill :. before : I knew about Westmore. --The -problem of the church is a' national: problem. Some of: the boys' in -our; country churches will be in our city churches. Mr. Gill has written about this prob lem.. In the college days of Mr. Gill and before and after the Yale-football team was for ten years impreg nable. Mr. Gill'- is - known outside Westmore as an ..authority on. the country church. We must bear, in mind that his pastorate here is hut the beginning -of a whole series of activities in which he has been inter ested." , " . Professor Rockwell then went on to speak of the : changed, conditions in Westmore and. in American life and of some of the problems before Amer ica today from the viewpoint .of cit izenship." Rev. George H. Toop, u. u., rec tor of the Church of the Holy Apos tles, Philadelphia, then gave a brief and very witty address. In closing he said, "I want to pay my token of respect, not only to your first minis ter; but also to the community, mere is something of virtue that comes from these hill;. No one here everbf coloj and seems to get old any more than these splendid hills that surround us. we ministers get more from the people than, we give. New England has been something to the country that no oth er section has been. I was brought up but not bom in New England. I am glad to come back and to pay my tribute. Amone the host of earnest a Tiff able men New England has pro duced your own first pastor has been a snlendid representative." Dr. Howard Vernon -. of. Elizabeth, N. J., then paid a glowing tribute to Mr. Gill as a Yale foot-ball player and cantain. Dr. Vernon was grad uated from Princeton in 1891 and saw Mr. vGill play on the Yale team against Princeton and other college teams in perhaps ten different games. He had a vivid recollection of Mr. Gill a a phenomenal tackier. MNo more heroic cantain ever plaved on the foot-ball field. Yale f oot-balr his torv has no greater name than that of ChaTles O. Gill." Professor Clarence W. Dunham, dean of th Gordon BiMe college, Boston, sooke very brieflv. "It is pro Ad thine for the pastor of a church to have the examp and in (Continued on Page Sight). Games of Chance at the Fair. ' Orleans, Vt. September 20, 1921 Mr. Editor: May I ask the courtesy of the col umns of the Monitor for the following resolution which was adopted without a dissenting vote by representative congregations . at Orleans Sunday morning, Setember 18, 1921, and at Brownington Sunday . afternoon the same day. "We, the congregations of the Brownington and Orleans Congrega tional -ehurch, are not unmindful of the financial difficulties in the way of any group of men who attempt to conduct the' annual fair in Orleans county, but we deplore and protest against the selling out of the midway ground privileges to fakirs who vio late the anti-gambling laws of Ver mont, particularly sections 7073, 7079, 7089 and 7093 of the Public Statutes, arid who entice the T?atrons of the fair to a like violation of the law, as has been the case in recent years, includ ing the present year of 1921, which was' different from the gross gambling of ' last year only in that a thin veneer was spread over the midway gambling features. If the F'r Association can sell"' the use of its property for such purposes under the mere assertion that it is .within the law, an asser tion that; is accepted by the unthink ing at its face, value, we see no pro tection for our own local communi ties -against . the same thing. From our point of -view no law-abiding in dividual, or community can accept such a standard of public morality, and we therefore pledge our support and the support of that body of pub lic opinion which we represent to any person in authority whose duty it is to enforce the laws of the state, and to conduct prosecutions against those who violate them. "Further be it resolved that copie of this resolution be sent to the sec retary of the Orleans Counts Fai" Association." to" the state's attorney for Orleans county, and to th ed'ror of the Orleans County Monitor." Sincerely yours. R. A. Hamilton. Note: Perhaps it would be a public service for the Fair Association arid the rest of us who have an interest in the matter to print those se-.tions of the public statutes that deal with gambling. SECTION 7078: "A person who sets up or promotes a lottery for money or other property, or disposes of money or property by lottery, and a person aiding or concerned in so doing, or who knowingly allows premises owned or occupied by him or under his control to be used for that purpose, or by persons raffling or using a game of chance for money or property, shall be fined not moTe than two hundred dollars. SECTION. 7079: A person who sells or disposes of property by . way of. chance, or, as an inducement to the sale of property, gives the pur chaser or any other person other pro perty to be drawn by way of chance or lottery, shall be fined not more than two hundred dollars. SECTION 7093: A. person who wins or loses money or otheT valuable thing by play or hazard at any game; or fcv betting on such play or hazard, or sharing in a stake wagered hy oth ers on such plav or haxard shall be fined not more than two hundred dol lars rior less than ten dollars.

He backs his 'claim .and arrests public attention by presenting a performance which, has more origi nal ' ideas and up-to-the-minute fea tures than any similar 'organization As ori -its former' visits, it will be found to be clean to a fault and dur ing the entire performance there is not a line, an action nor an insinua tion to which exception can be 'taken. The fun, which will be handed over the f ootlightsL is "all new and needs no arrow to point the way to' the. laughs. It is bristling with new, novel and en tertaining features and it is brimful of;' laughable ' situations, - charming musical numbers and clever vaude ville stunts, of the better class, which will make the ' audience sit up - and take notice. It is a musical perform ance, wedded to the most tuneful mu sic one woujd care to listen to, full of ginger and life, with not a dull mo ment from start to finish.- The danc ing is all done with, a vim and dash, jokes fly fast and furious and the en tire production is a kaleidoscopic mass nonsense.

The second annual Craftsburv f!nm. munity fair was held at North Crafts bury Friday of last week under Jdeal conditions. Rain the previous day had laid the dust and cleared the air. The morning was bright and warm. 'A crowd conservatively estimated at 12500 people assembled from far and . wide for the event, departing at night declaring that they had had one of the most enjoyable days ever. Craftsburv's hosnitable snirifr. iroi at its best. The rivalry for premium awards was keen but never bitter, all entries being made more as a matter of pride than with the thought of gain. Every sort of fakir was ex cluded, and all formalities abolished. From baby show to antiques there was a list of entries astonishingly large and surprisingly good. For examnle. t.hr wave 3Q KoTm'ah der two years of age in the baby contest, there were about 75 head of cattle in -the live-stock exhibit, 25 horses, 20 dogs, 20 swine kind, a tent full of poultry, a horticultural ex hibit that good judges said put to shame any yet seen at the county fairs and a wonderful exhibit of fan cy work and antiques. For a community even it was a sur prisingly large affair. The plan of conducting the event is novel. Last year private subscriptions financed the event, and. subscriptions may be asked-this year but the "pop" stand and the dinner booth were conducted by the management and will proctical ly payc the expenses. No money awards were given but premium rib bons given, labor is given for the love of it and commercialism is push ed into the background. Over 700 dinners were served by the enterpris ing dinner committee, most of the food for which was solicited. The Irasburg band furnished music, there was a ball game between the married and single men, a parade of stock around the common was a fea ture worthy of mention and the old fashioned sports drew a crowd. In the parade were the babies entered for the show with their mothers rid ing on two large floats. In this par ade were 13 saddle horses, three la dies and five men's single drivers, a pair of dapple-gray ponies and four Pairs Of double drivpra TViA was fully a half mile long. , . Horticultural exnioit was per haps the most interesting. The acad emy gymnasium held the exhibit which contained everything in flowers from asters to verbenas and a really wonderful exhibit of vegetables of ev ery sort. For example, there were 27 traces of corn displayed, one trace being harvested by J. A. Morse of Craftsbury just 90 days from the planting of the seed. The fancy work department was on ne1J?econnd flor of the academy building proper and contained be sides quilts, fancy work, etc., antiques including crockery belonging to Gov ernor Crafts, from whom the town of Craftsbury derived its name. We are sorry not to be able to give the premium awards in this department. The work was judged by Mrs. W. B. Heyer and Mrss.C. W. Richmond of Newport. . When " it came to judges only the best and most disinterested were us ed, the committee sending to every part of the state for talent. The baby show was perhaps the most unique event in the entire fair. Dr. Johnson of Burlington, a child ex pert, judged the infants, making a thorough- examination of each child as to weight, height, shape of head, abdomen chest - and lungs, feet and other' points, - marking on .each and making awards on the. highest mark ing in points. Thirty-eight children were entered and prizes were award ed as follows in the order of the name given: Boys: Richard Farrar, born Feb ruary 19, 1920, Craftsbury; Teddy Le Barron, born December "25, . 1920, Craftsbury; ' Bert Colburnj born No vember 1, 1919, Craftsbury. Girls: Ruby Butler, born Septem ber 3, 1920, Albany; Katherine Le Barron,' born October 24, 1919; Mar ion' Rodt, born April 25, 1920, Crafts bury. Dr. Johnson said it was a splendid Tot of children and certainly, the com.. . munity is to be congratulated upon raising so many fine children as well as such splendid farm produce. It will be noted that both the second pri2es were won by LeBarron children both under two years of age, the son . and daughter of Prof., and Mrs. Le Barron of Craftsbury.
