By Arthur,B. Gregg, Town Historian (Continued from Last Issue) For those who may not have seen the recent issues of the Enterprise, we are now in the midst of Prof. Ekblaw's story of \Thin Ice,\ the ac- count of' an adventure on Polar ice in which Menc, the Eskimo boy of Schoharie played a vital role. Menc, as a small boy, had been brought from Greenland by Commander Peary later discoverer of the North Pole. He only, of six, survived the transi- tion to America, and was adopted by Willam Wallace of the American Mu- seum of Natural History. His life in Lawycrvillc. Cobleskill and Scho- harie has been previously described, as well as his return to Greenland. * * # * \Spread black and threatening be- fore us, a dark lead of new, thin ice stretched across the whole sound. How wide it was, we could not see in the haze of wind-driven snow. How thin it was, we could readily sec, as our killing irons broke through it of their own weight. How far it extend- ed, we could only guess, but prob- ably it reached from shore to shore. \During our absence the ice had parted under the urge of the ebbing spring tide and had drifted seaward. The water had frozen again over the lead, but only a thin film of ice had formed — so recently that no frost (Continued on Page 4) Frederick Haiipt Named As 'Citizen of the Week' r itnniimmiMiifimititifiiiifmtftHiiMmiMtittitiiiHiitini Enterprise Ads | Our long list of advertisers speak* . : well of the value of advertising In f ; this paper.

The service will begin in the sanctuary and then after the ser- mon by the pastor, Rev. Floyd V. Nagel, it will be concluded in the new auditorium. Both choirs will sing, and a recording will be made of the ceremony. An open house will be held for the public from 2 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon. A dedi- cation banquet on Wednesday will have for its speaker a former pastor, Rev. A. G. Bossenbroek of Hastings- on-Hudson. The new building is the second part of a three-fold program of en- 'argement. Last year the chancel was rebuilt and a new pipe organ was installed. This year an Edu- cation building 42 feet by 100 feet has been erected. It has two floors. On the first floor are class rooms and on the second floor is a parlor known as the \Gold Room.\ a church office, auditorium, and kitchen. A third phase of construction that lies in the future is the enlargement of the Church auditorium. The Helderberg church dates back to the middle 1700's, so that it has been serving this area for 200 years. In 1895 it 'built a new church a mile east of the original site at Osborn's Corners, and the addition is to this building of 1895. Last year, the congregation sponsored a daughter church on the north nm of the par- ish, the Lynnwood Preformed church of which Rev. Gerard Van Heest is pastor.

New Chevrolet Goes On Display Today Fuel injection and a new triple- turbine automatic transmission will make their debut on the 1957 Chevro- lets. The Chevrolet Motor Division an- nounced that fuel injection will be introduced on the Corvette engine, a lively new V8 of 283-horsepowor that is to be available as an option throughout the line of Chevrolet. ' passenger cars. Also unveiled for the- first time is the new- transmission, known as the Turboglide. The 1957 Che\ relets go on display at dealer -how rooms today. In addi- tion to the trail-blazing RAMJET fuel injection and the new transmis- sion, the latest models present a multitude of other styling and per- formance features that promise great- er owner satisfaction than ever be- fore. Fuel injection, a long-lime objec- tive of American automotive en- gineers in their quest for ideal flex- ibility in performance, replaces the customary carburetor. Because of quicker power response and faster warm-up, it is expected to gain almost universal adoption within a few years. Chevrolet pipneers the device in its field and will be one of the few makes, regardless of price, to offer the advance on engines this year. The Turboglidc transmission is a Chevrolet exclusive. It carries the principle of torque conversion — first introduced in Chevrolet's Power- glide in 1950 — lo a new peak in efficiency. The triple-turbine — with infinitely variable ratio characteris- tics — produces an uninterrupted driving force at all speeds. There is no feeling of \shift.\ • (Continued on Page 8)
