SUCKERIN’ ON THE DELAWARE near Kelly Corners Sunday were Paul Finch, Gregg Mathis and John Biruk Sr. Herb Finch is pounding the Snowmobile Woes Inadequate Snow Causes Mishaps Which Injure Three Local Men Lack of sufficient snow is blamed for a snowmobile acci dent which put Lloyd Eignor, a Bragg hollow farmer, in the Margaretville hospital Sunday night with a broken rib and shoulder bone and 23 stitches in his scalp. George Bloodgood of Margaretville was also in jured Sunday in a snowmobile mishap on Bear Pen mountain and so was Clayton Misner of Margaretville near his home. Mr. Eignor was operating a snowmobile at the lower end of the Herrick park flat below Halcottville when his sled hit a hidden rock, pitching him to the ground head-first. His daughter, Sally, who was ac companying him on another nvachine, went to the Old Mill^ house restaurant for assistance. The proprietor, Walter Lascar, took the injured man to the hospital, where he remains a patient. Mr. Bloodgood was riding in the comjjany of Sam Craft. His toe was out to the side of the running board of his ma chine, when it was snagged by the stump of a small sapling. The impact knocked his hand from the brsike, and tJie grip of his other hand squeezed the throttle spinning the machine around. X-rays were taken at Mar garetville Memorial hospital and showed no broken bones nor tom tendons. Mr. Misner was Injured when he was thrown from his snow mobile as he rode near his home on Margaretville mountain northwest of the village. He suffered a severely wrenched left wrist. ice with a pair of axes to drive the fish to the men hunched over the holes. In spite of several below zero nights, ice was thin and was punctured by the axe heads. The weather was pleasant from the warmth of the late winter sun, and the men enjoyed the sport even though they said they were missing a lot of suckers because they were out of practice. The best place for hooking suckers used to be in the eddies along the East Branch of the Dela ware river, now covered by the Pepacton reservoir. The upper reaches offer fewer good spots for the winter sport. The fish, while extremely bony, have a sweet meat when taken in the cold winter streams. The bones. can be softened or nearly dis solved by long cooking, as much as six to eight hours in a very slow oven. They should be tightly sealed in heavy duty aluminum foil or done in an old- fashioned bean pot. C l u b B u y s P r o p e r t y Roxbury, Feb. 22.—The prop erty of Robert Padron in Hal- cott Center was sold to the Empire State Sportsmens dub Saturday at the Fleischmanns bank. The sale was made through the Korzendorfer Real Estate agency. DA Decides Not To Run; Hughes Will Seek Job District Attorney Palmer J. Kennedy announced Tuesday that he would not seek re- election this year to the post he has held in Delaware coun ty for six years. Mr. Kennedy cited the press of his private law practice in Delhi, plus the fact that he considers his six years of service sufficient in that office. Assistant 'District Attorney Malcolm Hughes of Margaret ville was the first to announce his intention to seek the Re publican nomination to succeed Mr.' Kennedy. Mr. Hughes, who has been an assistant DA for eight years under Mr. Ken nedy and former DA Robert McKeegan, made an unsuccess- fxil primary run last June for Delaware county judge against Judge Richard Farley. F r e s h m e n S e e k i n g H i s t o r y o f A n d e s A dozen volunteer members of the ireshman class at Andes central school have begun work cn the school’s oral history proj ect in which 40 local citizens are being interviewed. The ob ject of the class is to recreate Andes as i t was between the years 1890 and 1930 through the eyes of those who were there. Ten of the Andes people who offered their services have al ready been interviewed, and the remainder will have been fin ished iby the end of March. Ninth graders taking part are Steven Ackerley, Laura Bailan- tine, Janet Conran, Robert Han ley, Nancy Davis, Cheryl Coss, Karen Farrell, Nancy Frisbee, Polly Gladstone, Kevin O’Don nell, Susan Skovsende, Janice Stevens and Suzanne Tuch. Once the interviews are com pleted, there remains the task of editing and compiling data into a readable text, which will give a pictiiire of the commur nity during those years.

Mrs. Sanford Writes o f Trip Asian Street Life Thrives In Unspeakable Filth By Betty Sanford This is the second in a series of articles on the South Pacific by Mrs. Sanford, who left Mar garetville four weeks ago and returned to Margajretvilie yes terday. The dispatch below describes her visit in Australia, including one to Bacchus Marsh, the home of Jan Gillespie, who attended Margaretville central school for a year as a Rotary exchange student. Miss Gilles pie was a guest at the Sanford home for part of her stay here. The second part of the ac count deals with a visit to Djakarta, the capital of Indo nesia, one of the “emerging nations” of the Orient. Sydney, New South Wales Australia, February 4* 5, 6 “Down under” looks just like up above, but, oh, is it ever hotter! The thermometer is hovering around lOOF here today. Sydney is the largest city in Australia, well over two mil lion. Yesterday was Sunday, and the only thing schedule^ for us was a four-hour cruise around the bay, whereby we had a good look at this city; built cn hills which surround a deeply indented bay. High rise office buildings and apartments dominate the land scape close to the water and red tiled-roof hemes terrace the hills in every available space. The natives point with great civic pride to their new opera house built down by the water front. It was designed by a Danish architect and is sup posed to resemble “billowing sails” on the water. The orig inal cost was to have been 8 million dollars but this figure has long since been left behind, and the figure mentioned now is over one hundred, million. This does not come from taxes, but from a lottery, which is proving a most successful way to obtain the necessary money. The city seems so “Ameri canized” that I am wondering if they have an identity of their own. Restaurants, business stores, gasoline stations are no change from home. Only ;the double-deck (buses and the strong Australian accent make me realize I am in Australia. During our brief stay here we were hosted by the Aus tralian Meat Board, which prompted the question from all of us, “What is a meat board?” Each major industry in Aus tralia has a governing board, for example, wool board, etc. The Australian Meat Board is charged with safeguarding the long term interests of the Aus tralian livestock and meat in dustries. Their role, specifical ly, is to promote and control the export, and sale and dis tribution after export, of meat from Australia. They work to promote trade and commerce in meat both abroad and at home, to encourage the pro duction and consumption of meat in the Territories. The Boaixi now has 10 mem bers, a chairman, six producer members, two exporter mem bers, and one representative of the Commonwealth Govern ment. They are appointed for a maximum term of three years by the Minister for Primajy Industry. The Board is fi nanced by a “tithe” on all live stock slaughtered in Aiistralia. The message they wanted to be sure we got was that Aus tralia and America could co exist easily in the meat indus try—no problems. With the world-wide population increase and a world-wide meat short age, Australia presents no threat to American meat pro ducers. If they can supple ment the need not met by our industry, this is a sufficient market for them. Beside the increasing export Lusine.ss to North America, they iiave a tremendous market in Japan, and an increasing mar ket in South America. Here :n Australia, their promotional re- searcii is directed mainly to school children and young housewives. Australia’s Capital Canberra, February 6, 7 Australia’s capital is a thor oughly planned city. The site is one with an inherent natural beauty, on an extensive plain (limestone), with a mountain range in the background. It was designed by Walter Burley Griffin, a landscape architect from Chicago, and an associate of America’s famous Frank Lloyd Wright. A dammed-up river produces Lake Burley Griffin in the mid dle of the city and thousands of acres of parklands adjoin this manmade lake. Avenues radiate outward from Capital Hill, similar to Washington, D. C. The location of this planned city, halfway between Sydney and Melbourne, repre sents a compromise area. Some of the Australians with whom we talked felt that Canberra was sufficient as the govern ment seat, but lacked “soul” as a city. Australia is actually a continent of large cities as a scarcity of water confines peo ple to specific areas. After a “look-see” of Can berra, a tom- of the national buildings, we were taken to an Australian sheep station a few miles out of the city, where we could observe at first hand the workings of a sheep station. The only thing we were to see here , though was two trained sheepdogs at work for most of the sheep had ibeen moved out because of drought coiditions. There were just enough sheep for the two dogs to demon strate how they round them up and hold them until they are commanded to release them. Fortunately, I saw another large sheep station down at Jan’s. Melbourne, Bacchus Marsh. and Jan February 7, 8 Well, what can I say first except Jan looks wonderful. A little older, some thinner (so I thought—^she wasn’t so sure), altogether more mature. The Gillespies met me a t the airport in Melbourne—her Djfed, Peter, her Mother, Betty, and brother, Irwin. After brief in troductions to some of our group, they whisked me off to Bacchus Marsh in their Peugot. Jan and I caught up on the Margaretville news on the 30- minute ride to Bacchus Marsh, and we were there shortly be fore dark. • And then, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, and cousins came in to meet one of Jan’s “Amer ican Mothers.” I haven’t seen so many mem!bers of a family all together since a Sanford “clan reimion” in the summer! It was all very 'vonderful and exhilirating for me. We drank cold beer, ate fish and' chips and discussed Margaret ville, the USA and politics un til after one o’clock that night. They were anxious for an ex change of any infcirmation con cerning our two coimtries. The next morning we were out early so that I could see and photograph “Jan’s town.” We went up the length of Main street to the school where Jan had gone before coming to Margaretville. Bacchus Marsh is a small city of some over 4,000 with everything from a bonafide pub (the place to meet cn Sat urday night) to a main street with all the necessary shops, three hanks, a weekly news paper, and the elementary school plus other “goodies” I ’m sure I couldn’t absorb in cne short visit there. Jan is not in school here. She goes by train into Mel bourne each day to the McCabe Academy of Dressmaking and Designing. This is a twelve month course and then she is not just sure whether she will go back to matriculate (gradu ate) from what would be the equivalent of our high school or possibly start a fashion-de- signing shop with her sister. We drove for a mile out of town to see Mr. Gillespie’s quarry and orchard. Actually it is no longer his quarry, as he recently sold it, but he is continuing to work to help out the new owner for a time. It is a basalt quarry from which he crushes stone for road paving and other constniction. He has been the contractor for consid erable other work here in Bacchus Marsh as well. Now that he has sold his quarry they are considering coming to the States in a year or so, and Margaretville is definitely on their list. Irwin is a captivating all- Amtralian boy with no great love for school, but a great love for any kind of a motor—es- peoially his mini bike—catch- MOUNTAIN NEWS Vol. 110—34 10 Pages—2 Sections MARGARETVILLE, N.

He has an unusually good rock and mineral collection for a boy of his age. He is blondish, freckled faced and a carbon copy of Jan in looks. At a nearby game park I saw my first kangaroo, which was smallea* than I had imag ined one to be. Jan’s brother- in-law took me to a working sheep station and here I had a chance to see the whole process of shearing, sorting and packing a t this one station. The two sheep dogs here would drive the sheep into the station and run right up over their backs as they were doing so. The weather was quite a bit cooler here after several days of rain which flooded fields and streams. All in all, I had a marvelous time at Jan’s and hated to go on. Jan’s only regret about her year in Margaretville is that she was not older so she could appreciate it more. Tasmania—^Hobart, Port Arthur, February 9 Tasmania is Australia’s is land state, one hour or so fly ing time, directly south of mainland Australia. We have been here only one day and spent most of that time on a bus around Hobart so I do not have much to report about Tas mania. It is 180 miles from north to south, 190 east to west, and has a population of 382,000. The main tourist attraction here is the ruins of the penal colony established in 1830. Here the so-called Silent Sys tem replaced the lash as pun ishment for incorrigibles. The island is beautiful with mountains and lakes and an ideal climate. The temperature seldom goes below 32, which somehow surprised me for a place so close to Antarctica. Feb. 11, 12 Indonesia - Djakarta Our flight across the conti nent of Australia to Djakarta, Indonesia, had an unexpected turn in as much as we spent the night in Singapore rather than Djakarta. Somewhere over the Java Sea the Captain an nounced that we had a “surg ing” motor. Inasmuch as the majority of the people on the plane were bound for Singapore he felt it best to proceed there. We were put up for the night at a new modem hotel at Qantas expense. The next morning we left early for the two-hour flight back south across the Java Sea to Djakarta. The city of Djakarta is on the island of Java in the republic of Indonesia. This one island is part of an archipelago of more than 3,(XX) islands which extend for 3,000 miles along the equa tor from the mainland of South east Asia to Australia. It is the place which most of you who (Continued on page 3) S k i C e n t e r s H a d B e s t o f S e a s o n Belleayre and other C^tskill ski centers had their best busi ness of the season over Wash ington’s birthday weekend. Su- perlntondeat Nelson Sears re ports 3,500 skiers at Belleayre Sunday and nearly as many on Monday. The crowds were thin Saturday due to the bitter cold. The temperature did not get above zero all day. Conditions on the novice area are rated as good to excellent. The same is true to the mid station at the upper area. The tops are in need of cover and conditions are poor. However, crowds continued good through the week. With more snow emd colder weather predicted for, the com ing weekend, skiing' should again attract many. T w o S a l e s M a d e Fleischmanns, Feb. 22. — Mr. and Mrs. John McGee of Brook lyn have sold their Dry Brook farm to Mr. and Mrs. Marian Kulak of Islip, L. I. Mr. and Mrs. Miklos Szell have sold their Wagner avenue residence to Mr. and Mrs. Markus Degen of Sunnyside.

S o c c e r L o o p S e e k s S a n c t i o n b y N C A A The Delaware county ama teur soccer league is recruiting teams and sponsors for its 1973 season. Applications may be made to Thomas Coddington at Andes. A set of rules and reg ulations has been drawn and will be offered to teams already in the league, as well as those intending to enter the league this summer. Once the rules have been ac cepted by all teams, they will be submitted to the National Collegiate Athletic association. The league is also seeking NCAA sanction to avoid hav ing any players declared in eligible for collegiate soccer competition next fall. Players in the Delaware league may be any young man whose high school eligibility has expired and who has not had professional experience. Last year the league had five teams, emd the championship was wen by Stamford. The year ibefore Andes won the championshjp in six-team com petition. Y o u t h f u l O f f e n d e r S t a t u s I s G r a n t e d Two 17-year-olds from Com- mack, L. I., were apprehended by state ipolice as they were passing through the town of Middletown Friday. Stopped for a traffic investigation, the two were found to be in posses sion of a quantity of marijuana pipes. Taken ibefore Town Justice Sollie Darling, the boy and girl pleaded guilty and were re leased after ibeing adjudged youthful offenders. A Walton 17-year-old also qualified as a youthful offend er Friday for his .,part in fur nishing beer to tw« minor girls from Delhi.

One driver was given a summons after a property damage acci dent on route 28 at the Meeker hill road. A car traveling along the Jim Lane road in the town of Bovina Saturday afternoon struck a rut, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle. It went off the left side and struck a tree. The driver, Daniel B. Surace, 21, suffered a bruised lip. Two passengers were also hurt. Janice Regina had a cut of the lower lip, and Joseph Natoli suffered a bump on the head. The injured, all residents of Brooklyn, were released after treatment at the Stamford, hospital. Leo T. Baker, 32, of Garner- ville, N. Y., suffered abrasions of the face and right leg in a one-car accident on the Redkill road Monday night. Staic po lice said that he was traveling south when a deer ran into his path. He swerved to miss it, but went over a bank on the left side. Deborah Young, 19, of Staten Island suffered a sprained thumb in a two-car accident on the Dry Brook road Sunday afternoon. She was the owner and a passenger of a car driven by Richard Candrill, 19, of Staten Island. As this vehicle was traveling south, a north bound car, operated by James Cable, 34, of Catskill was ap- roaching, towing a snowmobile trailer. The trailer swayed into the southbound lane strik ing the Staten Island car. The accident was about four miles from route 28. Robert F. Johnson, 23 of Westbury, L. I., was given a summons after an accident Sunday morning at the inter section of route 28 and Meeker hill road at Dunraven. State police said Johnson was at tempting to pass a vehicle op erated by Frederick Benecke, 52, of Margaretville after Benecke had begun a left turn off the highway. The Johnson vehicle slammed against the bank on the left side of the road, then continued until it struck the left front of the Benecke vehicle. There were no injuries. The summons for improper ^passing is return able before Town Justice Don ald Fenton. S k i D u c a t s T a k e n Four rolls of ski tickets were stolen from the novice area ticket booth at Belleayre Mt. ski center between Feb. 1 and 15. Entrance was gained by forcing a lock.
