When, with only a notice of 18 hours, you can get 200 representative men out to a public meeting called for the pur pose of talking over the prospects and plans for a new industry in a small Ver mont community, you 'may be pretty fairly certain that such a community is not asleep, can't you? That's what was done in Swanton last Saturday, and by way of contrast with some public meetings which the Board of Trade has called in times past, is a most encouraging sign. We think it well right here to congratulate the people of Swanton for the size and the morale of last Saturday's affair. It served more than a single purpose, for besides being gratifying to the officers of the Board of Trade to see that the people are behind them in their well-directed efforts to, bring about an expansion of Swanton 'a industrial activities, it was a source of, real, keen pleasure to the official who came so far that he might meet face tu face the men who might become his fel low townspeople and co-workers. The attendance and the general good feeling of the crowd as the possibilities for the establishing of a going industry in Swan- ton are clearly indicative of the fact' that the people are not only interested in their future, but anxious and hopeful. It is surely a most healthy sign. A little more of the "pep" and the in terest which was so evident last Satur day, with a sprinkle of persistence over the top, and the wheels will be turning . merrily before fall. Swanton Courier.
