Mr: sion of the Central Vermont Railway to the front door of every resident of Burlington who lives on the routes served by the Burlington Rapid Transit Company," said General Manager Edmund Deschenes of the Central Vermont, who was in Burlington yesterday to sign the contract with W. S. Applej'ard of the Burlington Rapid Transit Company for handling the passenger traffic of the Central Vermont between Burlington and Essex Junction. Manager Deschenes stated that, according to the arrangement just completed, the Burlington Rapid Transit Motor Coaches will replace all passenger service on the Burlington branch, with the exception of the Burlington-to-Boston and Boston-to-Burlington sleeping car. "The new arrangement will in no way affect our present unexcelled freight service that links Burlington to the Canadian and American west and to New England and Atlantic seaboard points," Mr.

SC.90 sc.oo $16.50 DRESSES FOR $10.00 DRESSES FOR in recognition of the economic importance of the Queen City, we have selected Burlington as the first place in which to inaugurate this plan, which we consider a progressive step, for coordination of rail and bus service. "This Is an honest desire on the part of the Central Vermont Railway to improve passenger service from Burlington to Winooski and Essex Junction and make available for travelers in the twin cities the same high type of transportation enjoyed by residents of main line communities. "In making this move we are also following the recommendations of many transportation agencies, including regulating commissions such as the Interstate Commerce Commission, which have urged coordinated rail and bus service as a means of giving travelers better facilities and assisting the carriers to re-, gain some of their lost passenger business. "While it is true that this service is an innovation for the Central Vermont, we believe it is something the people of Burlington and Winooski will find convenient to say the least, as it means the placing of our excellent through train service at the door of every resident of the twin cities who lives on a route served by the Burlington Rapid Transit Company. This will mean extending to the front door of 80 per cent of the homes and business houses of Burlington and Winooski the conveniences of such trains as the 'Montrealer', 'The Washingtonian', 'The New and 'The Ambassador'.

"Our study of the situation has convinced us that the Burlington Rapid Transit Company is in a position to be of even added value to the traveling public of the twin cities and through the establishment of coordinated service, strengthened by a complete information, ticket and reservation bureau in a convenient uptown location. Burlington, and Winooski as well, is leading New England in what we believe to be a new era in transportation." Appleyard Stresses Personal" Service Mr. Appleyard made it clear yesterday in a statement td the Free Press that the B. R. T.

proposed to give a personal element to this Bur-lington-to-Essex Junction service through the taking over of all responsibilities for the passenger's traveling problems as soon as he telephones for his ticket.

H. G. Hutchins, vice-president of the association, presided at the business meeting in the absence of the president. Delightful music during the evening was furnished by a five-piece orchestra composed of people in the neighborhood, all parents and members of the Champlain School Parent-Teacher Association. Following the business meeting, Mrs.

Rcy Bartlett gave an interesting talk on the Parent-Teacher Association work in California, from where she has just returned. She brought out six points as of especial importance, one. that all parents in the associations in that State must not necessarily have children In school, but among the members are to be found older people Interested in school affairs. Second, there is a room mother in each school building, ensuring a closer co-operation with the teachers and a better knowledge of the children's home environment. Third, there are Saturday morning schools for parents and all who care to attend them.

Fourth, the merchants of California co-operate with the mothers, who are invited to visit the various industries, the mothers being paid for coming as a method of advertising for the business concerns. The money earned in that way is given to the Parent-Teacher Associations. Fifth, at every meeting there is a mother who takes care of the smaller children: and last, but not least emphasized, was the fact that the schools there are treated as community centers, the parents making a point of visiting the schools often and co-operating with the teachers in their every project. Mr. Bartlett spoke also for a few minutes, telling of the particular ways he noted In which the California schools differ from those here.

Especially he spoke of the work of the Boy: Scouts, who in California are known as "squad leaders' and who have charge of the traffic at the times the children are let out of school, safeguarding the smaller children, A social hour followed and refreshments were served. $45.00 DRESSES FOR Unbleach Cotton Stevens9 Toweling 40 inches wide All linen 6c Yard 5 Yards for 65c Pequot Sheets Mercerized 0, Damask 81x90 58 inches wide $1.00 35c Yard Pequot Sheeting Pillow Tubing 81 inches wide 42 inches wide 49c Yard 20c Yard Feel Like a New Person In Just a Little While People have found out that newfangled ideas and notions don't break up colds.
