Rouses Point Has New Village Office Village employees, as well as local residents are pleased with the new village office in Rouses Point. Village personnel moved into the newly completed office recently, which now adequately houses all the village records. The office is in the part of the Village Hall which once was the jail.

It's no hallucina- tion either, he has six of them in his protective custody. These are not what is known the world over as Unidentified Flying Ob- jects (UfOs) but what might be called IFOs, that landed at his motel recently. Trouble at the border has kept these saucers from going into Canada where they had been sent by the manufacturer, who must remain anonymous. Featured on the Johnny Carson recently, these objects are used for crowd gatherers in promo- tional advertising. They are motor driven, unique saucers which will rise up to 18 feet off the ground, and are used for a thrill ride for young and o^d. They are constructed of fiberglass and are about 8 feet in diameter and can be propelled from either a standing or sitting position. This sounds like the promotion- al dream of the century, which the .manufacturer believes it to be. Jeffry Favreau, nephew of Mr. Fillion, was in on the fun when the saucers landed. . He didn't get a ride though, the motors weren't running. paneled in light oak. New desks and chairs are a joy to the two office workers, Mrs. Laura Geb- hard\: clerk, and Mrs. George Marnes, bookkeeper. There is plenty of storage and cupboard space, electric baseboard heat- ing and overhead lighting. The new office entrance now faces Lake St. on the ground floor. The new office was built by Jules Trahan; plumbing, George Ducharme and W.W. Gettys, electrical contracting.
