MOUNTAIN DEW Oontxlbittloiis Welcome, Reprtntiiisr

Invited

Quiet, peaceful, honest Leslie Dumond was buried in the family plot here last week. How many residents recall the days when Mr. rninond was the village lamp lighter! He did a fine job, the lamps were kept filled and dear and lighted each night when the moon was not on the calendar program. He performed this serv-ice in addition to regular duties.

. . * * •

Many an evening I have seen him go along the village street, can of kerosene and cleaning rag in one hand, short stepladder in the other. He visited each lamp pbst, cleaned the smoked chim-neys, filled the lamps, lighted them and went his way. Neither rain nor mud or high wind kept him from his duty. Came the gas lights of 40 years ago. Then he needed only matches, the lamps were turned off at 11 p. m. by small alarm clocks, one attached to each lamp. The clocks had to be wopnd and set each night.

* * *

Last night as I watched the street lights in the great heavens come on- one by one I wondered perchance if Leslie Dumond might have the task to light a few of them come twilight. I know he can be trusted to do it well.

' A brown trout 27 inches long was caught in Mohican lake be tween Andes and Delhi a recent Sunday by tourists staying at the Harold Cole homestead. The lueky tourists left the big trout in the bottom of a rowboat and went their way. It was afterward dis-covered by Mr. Cole, He had noticed one of the guests jabbing an oar at some object in the water earlier that mOrning.

* * >K

Whether the. fishermen did not know the fish was a trout or whether they had no license or did not know about the open season is a mystery.

- * * *

When this lake was built by several Margaretville and Roxbury men some 30 years ago for $5,000 it was stocked with trout. The following two seasons it furnished the best trout fishing in Seven counties. The legal limit at that time was 25 trout in one day. It was possible to catch this limit within a short time. The trout were fat and sporty. The third year there was less trouting and by the following year none and none thereafter. The lake has been stocked at different times, has been surveyed by the state Conservation department, but never has furnished the trouting it did in the early years.

* • *

The disappearance of the origi-nal trout was always a mystery. Some thought the trout went up-stream into Tunis lake, others favored a theory of the fish going down. Yet others said all the trout were caught. Whatever was the correct answer one thing was ap-parent, there were no trout. Was the big brown a trout of the first stocking which had lived 30 years in the lake ?

Lift your heart to the glory of autumn. Stand with me on an upland and see the beauty on the ridges, on the mountainsides, on the flaming tree- bouquets in the valley.

October dawn blossoms in the sky like a hundred-mile-long great painting. Frost silvers bleached grasses and makes small ice-laced canyons in the brown furrows of fall plowing Fragile tissue sheets of ice sMUn on top of barnyard troughs and knit a pattern along the edges of quiet meadow brooks. » *

There is a purple haze on the uplands at midday. Peace, like a benediction, rests over the country-side. Late-staying birds gather in flocks and swirl as though in mili-tary formation over, the fields, squirrels hurry about the busi-ness of Winer food supplies, shaggy white clouds sail the blue sky ocean .

• * *

This is the time of the year's fulfillment. In full faith men have planted, cultivated, harvested. The xhythm of Nature fulfills its time —now the reds, the yellows, the browns, the bronze make a picture of beauty over the land. , • • '* * *

Pluck a leaf from a maple, an oak, an ash. Hold this mystery of autumn in your hand. In its

coloF is plain to see the cycle of the year. Not too many weeks ago it was a tightly-laced bud. Came the miracle qf Spring, the stitching was broken and there grew the perfection you hold. * * *

In its microscopic cells diemical changes, took place during the summer and a great, tree was made to grow. Came summer's end, vitality lessened, chlorophyll died, the carotin and xanthophyll became dominant, flaming colors superseded the green.

. • * * W e do not need all these intri

cate explanations. He lives wisely who lives by faith. I hold autumn in my hand and in my heart till my soul is tUned to the power which swings the planets, till can catch a glimpse of the wonder that is life.

Yours truly. The Mountaineer

Bound for College, Goes Over High Bank

Big Indian, Sept. 21.—Last Fri-day morning a car was heard to crash over the embankment below the residence of William H. Cruick-shank. Mr. Cruickshank was starting to investigate when the young • man driving the wrecked car climbed up the bank. Mr. Cruickshank helped him to the house and took him to Dr. Oppen-heim. An ambulance removed him to the MargaretviUe hospital.

The young man was Oleg Kolen, who ^was giving to Sampson to enter college.' He asked. Mr. Cruickshank to phone his sister at Stony Point. His injuries seemed to be a bad head bruise and a broken rib. The car is a complete wreck.

Six Hundred Summer Guests May Oust Board

Delivering a tirade against the burning of crosses in Woodstock, Isadore Halpem, New York at-torney, and summer resident there, (Virtually threatened to have the town board voted out of office. He said he was speaking for 600 signers of a petition. against the practice.

Speaking at the town meeting Wednesdjor night, Halpem pointed out that enough votes could be mustered amon g smmer residents to change the complexion of the Republican board, if they, regis-tered to cast their ballots at Wood-stock polls.

It was brought out that Super-visor Kenneth Wilson had gone on record as "opposed to violence in any for min the town and that the town board had no authority to take action in a matter of this sort."

Halpem said in his speech be-fore the board, "You see the re-spect and deference we have for you, because you are the govern-ing board , . . we have enough voters who are not now voting in this community but if they were to enroll here and if they organ-ized, their voice would be felt."

Halpem's remarks were made in conjuncti(»i with the presentati<»\ of a petition, debouncing the recent cross-buming which took place in Lasher's fields on Friday evening, Atig. 27, about 75 yards from the home of Howard Bird where Progressive Youth i rally was in progress.—Kingston Freeman;
