A new $6,000 "transformer station, with other new equipment and an in stalling cost of $1,500, is nearing completion on village property jnear the upper end of High street. When complete this will add safety and convenience as. well as giving pro vision for .expansion. The present transformer station is a wooden . structure- on Harrison ave nue. Should this building burn and destroy the transformer it would pro bably, require- several weeks to in stall a new transformer station. That there is . always danger of fire in a wooden structure is ' well known and with high voltages such , as - enter this substation, there . s double danger both as to fire and in fighting a fire. Step? were taken toward a new plant when, the property at the upper nd of High street was purchased a few years ago, where village storage Duiidings have been erected. In addition to the fire hazard there has been the danger resulting from the 12,000-volt wires entering the viijage at the upper end of High street and running to the present ub-statioh. Since the new ' station is strictly fire proof and takes 12,000 volt wires at the very entrance of the village two hazards have been eliminated. . , . Two transformers weighing two tons each have been placed on a large cement pier and the pier is large enough to accommodate another transformer when increased demand for current calls for another. The capacity of the two ndw transformers is about twice that of the present equipment; These transformers will have no covering but will have prop er protection about them for the pub lic. " The -wires from the Charleston plant enter the transformers from a steel tower 18 feet high and through a huge switch weighing a - ton. The latest thing in a 'lightning arrestor is also installed. A switch-house 14x 14 feet built of cement, roof, walls and floor, will Louse the switches for the different sections of the village. This feature will be a great improve ment over .the present arrangement. A new switch-out for the Nichols system where it connects with the Barton wires has also been installed. Many new poles have also been set. A complete new copper v telephone line has been run on the electric polls from" the plant in Charleston to the villager, office, Chief Electrician Clark's house and to the Orleans-village office for the exclusive use of the village and the plant's employ ees. A portable receiver and trans former allows one working on the line anywhere over its 15 miles of distance to tap in and talk- Jo any station on the line. About 225 bags of cement have been used in the construction, a new mixer having been purchased for this and other villages uses. - These improvements are in the line of permanent betterments which pro vide for, the enlargement ofxthe sys tem. The work is being done by the village employees, Hazen Clark, chief electrician, superintending; Street Superintendent Sargent doing the cement work, and F. W. Cutting, ex ecutive for the trustees, in general charcre. ' -j . The village is also constructing several rods of new cement sidewalk at the south end of High street which was badly needed and 'adds greatly to the appearance of the street as well as to the convenience of the ped estriari traffic on that street. These improvements in connection with the side walk work done early m the Summer over a considerable portion of the village constitutes im provements in the village of a public nature in excess of anything done in recent years. . t Next week we hope to .give r sum mary of improvements made by pri vate propertv owners in the village. There have been many and marked improvements of more'than usual size and substantial character. y "What Is Vermont ?" Following a suggestion from C H. Dempsey, state commissioner" of edu cation in an address, at the teachers' convention at Rutland, the eighth grade pupils of Newport schools have been composing poems upon the subject," ."What is Vermont?" . The following poem was written by Aline Buck and is one of the best received : - Vermont has hills and lakes and streams ; ' . ' And many places ' that are, like dreams. . .. ' - v . Some streams are""s'wiftv Where boats. can drift, Others have rocks Where herds and' flocks ; :. Come down to drink f V .Upon the brink. ; There are beautiful mountains with nature's fountains, V There are wooded hills that furnish '" pulp mills; , ' . - There is many a lake V -And quarries of slate, v There is many a city That is very pretty, - . .. , . And Morgan horses : " And marble resources. ? '. ' Pupils of the seventh and eighth grades who received an average of 90 per cent or over in all subjects for the first half " of the fall 'term, and therefore, are members of the Honor Roll, are: Helen Shepard, Aline. Buck, Medora Kendall, Gordon Keith, Alice Grow, John Bryan, LUcile Robinson and Royal Young.- ' -.'.. Somewhere in the world there is being held between 'five and 'sever, hundred millions in German marks. It is believed to be held by speculators who are hoping for a rise in exchange. More than a thousand,., children, some as young as eight years, have been found .Working in the Colorado beet fields. An examination revealed 70 per cent with postural deforma ties. ' Total wheat production this year of the 29 leading wheat growing coun tries '"of the world, excluding Russia, reached . 2,852,825,000 bushels, or ap proximately 190,000,000 bushels more 'than m 1920. MILK PRODUCERS TO y, HOLD COUNTY MEETING Every "farmer in the Orleans dis trict of the , New England Milk Pro ducers' association is invited to at tend .the annual meeting of the dis trict association An Newport Monday, November 14. at . 1.30 o'clock in the afternoon, at School hall. Wesley H. Bronson, in charge of the research and statistical department of the cen tral association, will be present to dis cuss some of the important problems which confront the dairy . industry of New England at the present time. While the meeting - is primarily for members of the association, the in vitation to attend is extended to all farmers. .Among the important matters which will be brought N up for dis cussion by Mr. Bronson will be the question of surplus milk and the price which can be secured for it under present conditions. This is a vital matter with the dairymen, as the return for surplus milk is now so low that it materially reduces the net return to the farmer, even with a good price for market milk. -He will also discuss .the milk price in New England as compared with other sec tions of the country, and the price of milk as compared with the prices of other, farm products. A general discussion of the future of the dairy industry is expected and general policies will be defined. The New England . Milk Producers' asso ciation is recognized as one Of the strongest milk marketing organiza tions of the country and its future policy will probably be in line with the national policy which is- being worked out by the special committee selected by the American Farm Bu reau Federation. Richard Pfittee. managing director-of the New Eng land association, is chairman-of thi: national committee. -His selection to this 'place of .leadership is. a recogni tion of the place which the New Eng land association has made iof itself among the dairy marketing organiza tions of the country. This meeting is one of 50 similar meetings which will be held in the organized districts of New England next week. The1 meetings in Vermont will be attended by. Mr. Bronson, Richard Pattee and Harry L. Piper, editor of the New England Dairyman, and other members of the association staff will sneak at the other meetings, all' trying to give the dairymen in all districts an idea of the bigness "and importance of the business in which they are engaged.

MUNICIPAL COURT Business was rather quiet in Muni cipal court Monday. Jndge Wright dis posed of one case of drunkeness that of Mr. Portree of , Sherbrooke, P. Q., who had been in the 'local jail since the first of the month. Having no money to pay a fine he was sentenced to jail for 10 days. Another case before Judge Wright was that of Mrs. Ha Messier, who came up for . sentence. Mrs. Messier appeared in municipal court Oct. 24 and plead guilty to adultry, at that time she was placed under $1000 bail for sentence. When she appeared in courfr Monday she was accompanied by her husband and 20-months-old baby. State's Attorney Albert Far man recommended a light sentence and asked that she be placed on pro bation. " - - Mrs. Messier was represented by John W Redmond, who plead for clem ency. 1 he sentence ' imposed by the court was from one to three years at the reformatory for women at Rut land. ; Sentence was suspended and Mrs. Messier was placed in the hands of the probation officer. tfiLL TERM OF " COtJNTY COURT CLOSES Orleans County Courtv which opened Sent. 13 with .

The layettes are well un der way and we are indebted to our domestic science classes under Miss Carter's direction, that these will soon be finished. The date set for the opening of the Red Cross drive for. membership is Friday, Nov. 11. This annual drive for members who pay $1 membership fee, involves support of its present $6,000,000 medical relief campaign among destitute European children and its permanent home program. ' While the American Red Cross liquidated most of its relief opera tions in France in 1929, during tne past year it continued to help the chil dren in the devastated regions and made several gifts of cash to carry on the work being done among the maimed soldiers. In Belgium there was considerable distribution of supplies and' genera! aid in the rehabilitation work being done. 'Colonel's Maid" at Institute Hall, Glover, Thursday Night. - .
