Restoring Famous Model A Is Project of Ex^Resident Now in California Area “A” The restoration of Model Fords — a favorite of the* rum- ble-seat era — has become the favorite hobby of several thou sand Americans, including a former Genesee County couple, now living in Fresno, Calif. Proud owners of three of Henry Ford’s rugged creations are Mr. and Mrs. Richard A. Hoe, members of the Sierra chapter of the Model A Club of America. They were among members of the club featured in a story of the club’s activi ties in a Fresno newspaper. Mr. Hoe is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Garnet Hoe of Rt. 5, Stafford, and Mrs. Hoe is the former Gloria Munt, the daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs* Edward C. Munt of 86 South St,, Le Roy, Mr. Hoe is a science and math teacher at Kings Canyon Junior High School in Fresno. The prize of the Hoe family collection is a 1930 panel truck. It is believed to be one of the four remaining out of the 800 of such models produced 35 years ago. The truck was acquired in Ro chester by Mr. Hoe on a trip east. He drove it part of the way to California and towed it the rest. The truck is now com pletely restored and has since made a complete round trip to the World’s Fair 'and the Model A Clubs National Convention. The wooden paneling which encloses the entire truck body was in a shambles when the vehicle was acquired, accord ing to the owner. But many hours of diligence and several coats of varnish have brought it back to its gleaming best. The car has won several awards in contests. ^ Mr, Hoe commutes to work in one of his model A’s. “They will do anything a late model car will do . . . if your not in a hurry,” he comments. The restoration of a sedan is the current project of the form er Genesee County resident. He is also planning the enlarge ment of his garage to accom modate his collection of cars. Mr. Hoe reports that while many might think only an ex perienced mechanic would un dertake the restoration of a car, the membership of the club in cludes people from all walks of life including a mortician, sales men, teachers and most recent ly a woman teacher. The interest in the Model A is explained that — “You have to be a genius to work on to day’s cars. On the Model A, any man with a screwdriver, a pair of pliers and a minimum of mechanical knowledge can do several repair jobs.” Mr. Hoe is a graduate of the State University College at Brockport and received his Master's Degree from Stanford University. The family remain ed in California after his grad uation. They have now been there over 10 years. The Hoe family visited the Genesee County area last Sum mer in their restored panel truck during their trip to the World’s Fair. Community College Need Topic for Pomona Grange Benefits of a community col lege were described by Norman E. St. Clair of Batavia, who is a vocational rehabilitation aide at the Buffalo Veterans Administration regional office, at a meeting of Genesee County Pomona Grange at Bethany/ Displaying charts to show how a community coUege would benefit Genesee County, Mr. St. Clair said that “let each become all he is capable of being” is what should be desired for children. “In New York State there are already 2-year college programs supervised by the State Educa tion Dept.,” the speaker said. “There are 28 community col leges in the state, several adjacent to G enesee County, and at present there are 148 Genesee County students attend ing these colleges. A community college is pre pared to provide technical courses for young people at their level of ability. It can also provide a general education which is basically the same as the first two years in a regular 4-year college. Students taking a general education course in a community college can then transfer to a regular 4-year course and obtain bachelor, master and doctor degrees if they desire. “Tuition costs of $900 are borne, one third by the student, one third by New York State and one third by the sponsoring orgaization and in Genesee County, this is the Board of Su pervisors,” Mr. St. Clair ex plained. “The educational aims of a Community College are to train young people for acade mic preparation for a bachelor degree and also to train those young people who may not .be capable of a bachelor degree but may be able to receive technical g a in in g for work. It would cost app: roxlm ately $1.12 per $1,060 of assessed valuation now to maintain this college, an dafter 10 years about $2.66.’' Mr. St. Clair was accompan ied by Michael J. Ryan, who assisted in answering questions that foUowed Mr. St, Clair’s dis cussion. Mr. St. Clair was intro duced by the lecturer, Earl W. Mullen of Stafford. Donald Woodruff of Alexander then rendered a humorous vocal solo, accompanied by Mrs. Eli- zabeth Weber of Bergen. Mr. Mullen introduced Robert Wright of Tompkins County, who told of the new Grange Co operative that has been formed, known as the Patrons Agricul ture and Consumer Cc-opera- tive, Inc. At the present it sells fertilizers, twine and farm che micals. Warren Schaal of Ba som will receive orders and take care of shipments. Favors School Bill During the business session Pomona Grange acted favor ably upon a resolution to sup port the bill that was introduced In the Legislature by Assem blyman James A. Carmichael Jr., which would allow the Le R6y Central School Dist. to con struct additional buildings on the property it already owns. Pomona Grange also ap proved vocational education for “high school level” students for two years. A resolution opposing the clos ing of some veterans hospitals in New Y o rk w a s also carried. The. Pomona Grange opposes the proposed $1.50 an hour mini mum wage scale, because it would deprive young people and old people from working who are hot capable of earning $1.50 an hour.” Pomona Grange is again ask ing the Legislature to raise the drinking age from 18 to 21 years. Guests From Orleans Mr. and Mrs. Roy Lamb, deputy and junior deputy of Orleans County were escorted to seats of honor as was Mr. Schaal, Genesee County deputy, Mr. and Mrs. Lamb were pre sent to inspect Genesee County Pomona. Mrs. WendeU Naas, chair man of the Service and Hospi tality Committee, presented a check for $250 as proceeds of two dinners.

The Batavia artist, who lives at 21 Porter Ave., was elabora ting on’ her principle that many problems of intolerance could be eliminated if people truly understood each other’s beliefs. The festival falls on tradition al St. Patrick’s Day this year because of the system of basing the Jewish calendar on lunar months. Date for Purim is the 13th of Adar. Mrs. Rosenberg gave a sim plified “folk” version of the story behind the holiday—much as it is told to children. The tale is set during the reign of the Persian king Alasu- erus. Haman, “the villian of the story,” was an advisor to the king who wished to see the Jews in Persia liquidated. Lots were cast to determine j to the story period. Mrs. Rosenberg may continue upward rise. Established Faith During this period, Mrs. Ros enberg noted, most of the peoples of the world were idle worshippers. Their miraculous deliverance caused the Jews to re-establish their belief in one God, setting the stage for the continuance of the Jeudo- Chris tian tradition. On the night before Purim, the Torah is brought out in the Temple and the MegiUa of the Book of Esther is read. All the children are given noisemakers and at the mention of the evil name “Haman” they make as great a din as they can man age. “The children dress up in cos tumes for the holiday. It’s rather like a Mardi Gras,” Mrs. Rosenberg explained. Everyone eats the Purim cookie, Hamantachen, or “Hat of Haman.” The roUed cookie is cut in circles, then shaped with the hands into a triangle, the shape of the hat traditional T r o o p 1 0 B o y s E n t e r t a i n P a r e n t s i Boy Scouts of 1'roop 16 observe ed Parents’ Night with demon strations and skits in Sacred Heart Parish HaU.

One night, when the king could not sleep, he asked his heralds to read him stories of his reign. They reminded the ruler that Mordekai had once saved the King’s life but had been unrewarded for his efforts. Alasuerus called in the “evil” Haman, and without identifying Mordekai asked how such a per son should be rewarded. Ham- an's reply, “Raise him up,” and thus Haman was ordered to cai’f-y out his suggestion. During this time, the king, who had been queenless, chose to make Esther, the niece of Mordekai, his gueen, not know ing that she was a Jewess. Mor dekai appealed to Esther, be seeching her to help her people to save them from extermina tion. Beseeched King It was a custom of the time that no one, including the queen, could go to the king unbidden, Punishment for such a misde meanor could mean death. But Esther risked her life to go, telling Alasuerus that she, too. would be put to death if his de- cee were carried out. He could not rescind his de cree, but he gave the Jews the privilege of defending themsel ves. The Jews were victorious and Haman was put to deMh. Mrs. Rosenberg noted that the story itself is a human docu ment and scientifically may never have existed. It may be compared to the parables of Jesus or the story of Adam and Eve, she said. An “archetypical story,” it- is an example of a frequently recurring theme in history—a tyrant or despot who is over shown j thrown by an individual savior or a group, so that humanity makes version of the holiday treat from a cookbook compiled by Hadas- sah, International Jewish wo men’s organization, as a fund^ raising project, a gift from her mother when she was first mar ried. She feels “ conveniences w e re made to be used” and often sub stitutes prepared prune filling to which she adds the lemon juice and nuts.
