To correlate the present with the past, taking the names as they art rv ran now and putting the eartiest settlers and builders Into perspective la a painstaking and sometimes frustrating, but very rewarding.

task, according to these women who have been working over a year already, and stiU I have a way to go to completely verify the Information they receive from many avenues of research. Markers have now Urn placed, with owners consent, on many of the places dating from 1856 to lim, and several even earlier. These are attractive green painted with white, the same as the Bicentennial road signs, the board given by Noyle Johnson the paint furnished by the Bicentennial committee. There are several really old houses In the village area of both the I wooden and bric construction, but it Is surprising how many brick houses of the area are built according to the same house plan In general; even one farmhouse in East Montpelier is of this same plan. The fact Is at one time there were several brick kilns In the vicinity and It Is really too bad so little remains In the history of the town to show their exact location, although hearsay has It that one was located In the field across from the Russell Memorial Field.

The houses these women hive been able to learn exact Information about help to In-r crease the knowledge con- coming the early history of the town, and their research has included Beer's Atlas, Washington County Gazetteer, I many old maps, and other printed materials, also the census reports of 1800,1810.1820, with visits to the VFW Picnic Ill Barre MacKenzie-Webster Post 790, VFW, of Barre hosted the state VTW picnic at its post grounds July 24.

The committee, chaired by Morin Smith, discussed in detail the plans for the construction of the new facility for the Martha Michelson Health Center.

The committee has been meeting semi-weekly to complete the plans for the new health center facility. The members have toured clinic facilities In the Burlington area to observe the design and the efficiency of these buildings. In discussing the effectiveness of these buildings with the staffs, the members of the committee learned of the inadequacies which had become apparent with use. Special attention is being given by the committee to the design of the new building as to efficiency and effectiveness for both the patient and staff and to meet the growing demands for service and program expansion. Conservation of energy and the preservation of the attractiveness of this site are being considered carefully.

The committee Is interviewing architects from the area as well as the architect he remained until retirement. After the war he never returned to Randolph to live but his attachment for his family home was shown by the fact that he always kept his voting residence in Randolph. Cumberland authorities say that an investigation Into Edsons whereabouts was launched last week after friends and neighbors reported his absence. Orange County Sheriff Leith Henderson confirmed to the Virginia authorities that Edson had not visited Randolph Center since Memorial Day, and a search of the Virginia premises was launched. Edson's wife, Hester, was living at borne at the time Edson disappeared but never reported his disappearance, police say.

She is incapacitated and is now committed to an Institution, according to authorities.

The Cumberland County sheriffs office said this week that no cause of death has been established, and the autopsy report ts not due for several days. It appeared that Edson died when he fell hile burning dried grass from field. A shovel with a burned handle was found lying across the body.

No foul plJy Is suspected right now," a spokesman said. Edson was born in Randolph, the son of Clinton and Vie (Davis) Edson. He attended schools here, graduating from Randolph High School and Burlington Business College. He worked In central Vermont before joining the Navy where Teachers Meetings Holidays and Vacations 175 days Students lin County had 61 cows per farm. It appears that size of individual farm units is closely correlated with land capability and terrain.

The smallest dairy herds in the state were found in Bennington, Orange, Washington and Windsor Counties. Again, without doubt, soil capability and terrain limit the number erf cows per farm in each of these areas. In all areas of the state where dairy enterprises are found, the trend has been for an increase in herd size. To obtain a reasonable return for labor and management, many farmers must increase the size cl their herds. As greater amounts of equipment are needed, the cost of carrying this equipment must be spread over a larger production unit I inursaa7 Friday, (21 (22 Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Monday, Thursday, Friday, Friday, Labor Day Orientation first day of school Columbus Day St.
