Vermonters in New York
Great success attended the
first attempt of the Vermont
Society of New York City in
gathering its members for an af
ternoon tea and dance. Well
over one hundred Vermonters,
resident in New York and vici
nity, responded to, the invita
tion of the Society on Saturday
afternoon of last week for this
enjoyable social meeting at the
Hotel Plaza. Excellent music,
abundant refreshments, cheer
ful surroundings and the joy of
Vermonters in meeting one an
other encouraged the officers of
the Society in the belief that a
gathering of this sort should be
given a place in the Vermont
Society's calendar for eacfc
year. Two direct reminders
of Vermont marked the after
noon ; first, a display of marvel
lous "Mackintosh Red" apples
from the Connecticut Valley
Orchard Company of Westmin
ster, and second, the circular
announcement of the book re
cently published by the Altru
rian Club of Springfield.
The Vermont Society of New
York will welcome new mem
bers among Vermont men and
women who live in and about
New York City and who wish
to aid in cherishing Vermont
sentiment there. The initiation
fee and annual dues of the So
ciety are not large. For appli
cations for membership ad
dress Joseph L. Barker, Secre
tary, 154 Nassau Street, New
York City.
The annual dinner of the
Vermont Society of New York
City will take place on Mar. 17.

"TEN NIGHTS" A WORLD
FAMOUS DRAMA
The producers of what is
said to be one of the greatest
motion pictures ever made se
lected the town of Island Pond
as the scene of its first local pre
sentation to the public, and
when "Ten Nights in a Bar
room" is flashed on the screen
of the Opera House Friday
night, citizens of this town will
have an opportunity of seeing
one of the greatest of the fa
mous old dramas in the history
of the American stage trans
ferred to the silver sheet.
It is said to have. cost, a
small fortune to produce and to
have taken hundreds of people
and used up miles of film, but
those who have been fortunate
enough to see it in the company
projection room state that it is
well worth all the trouble and
expense. It is a story that
thrilled theatregoers for the
last fifty years and has been
read by millions of people. The
reason for its great success is at
tributed to the wonderful hu
man interest of the story. Sim
pie in its theme but appealing
to all, it has been (described as
"The greatest heart interest
drama the world, has ever
known." Joe Morgan, Little
Mary Morgan, Simon Slade and
Harvey Green are characters
that will live forever. In their
recreation on the screen they
are said to be even more power
ful in their appeal than on the
speaking stage.
This picture will be shown at
the Opera House on this week
Friday. There, will also be
shown Charlie Chaplin's latest
comedy entitled "A Day's Plea
sure" in three parts.

AN APPRECIATION
To the Editor cf the Essex'
County Herald,
Dear Sir:-
It came to me very much as a
surprise, to learn through the
medium of your paper of the
death of Miss Annie Blake.
She was one of those rare wo
men whom it has been my pri
vilege to meet in the ministry
of the Christian Church. I can
not therefore refrain from this
word of appreciation of the
sterling Christian character of
this Godly woman
rri -u- ;
vviiu ju any wav tame,t
into contact with her were en -
nched by the inspiration of a'
life that was the expression of.

of religion, she was more than
an appreciative listener, force
fully thinking her way through
to an intelligent understanding
of the Faith. I am personally
indebted to her for the demand
made upon me as her former
pastor by a mind such as she
possessed for progressive and
constructive thought. Perhaps
it was this more than anything
else, that led us to tear our
selves away from what was
proving to be a happy and suc
cessful ministry in Island Pond
to wander forth with sorrowful
hearts in search of a greater
preparation for the task to
which we are called.
The relatives and friends
have suffered a distinct loss.
Where ever she cast her lot in
life it was to contribute sweet
ness, purity ad true Christian
nobleness and fortunate are
those whose privilege it was to
grow to maturity in intimate
contact with a life so rich in E
ternal values.
I count it as one of the great
est privileges, of my life, to
have ministered to her in reli
gious things.
Signed,
FRED WILCOCK.

The Country Boy's Creed
I believe that the Country
which God made is more beau-
t.iful than the. Citv which man
made: that life out-of-doors
anA in tnnrh with thp earth i
with Nature is more inspiring
happier on the farm than in the
town, that my success depends
not upon my location, but upon
myself not upon my dreams,
but upon what I actually do,
not upon luck, but upon pluck.
I believe in working when you
work and in playing when you
play, and. in giving and de
manding a square deal in every
act of life.
