The club has been advised that this date will allow plenty of time for all frost to leave the ground and yet allow the newly planted trees to have full advantage of spring rains. The club reports further progress in the selling of trees. Members have (been urged to intensify their efforts in obtaining orders as the campaign nears its end. The Schenectady Gazette this week editorially took notice of Alta-> mont's tree planting project.

Not that the tree removals left the village denuded — from an airplane. Altamont would appear more tree-studded .than many American communities. But every time a tree is removed a commun- ity looks a little more like the drab canyons of a big city. We wish tihe people of Altamont all success in their tree restoration project.\ Berne-Knox Streak Cut; Lose In Finals At Troy Broadalbin High ended the dis- trict's longest schoolboy winning streak, 26 games, by Berne-Knox, in winning the Section 2, Class D title, 62-38 Saturday night at Troy High school.- The Schoharie League basketball champions, last beaten in mid-season of 1955-56, by Richmondville, fell apart in the second half after leading for two periods in defense of their title.

Discuss Library Plans At Guilderland Meeting A group of Guilderland residents have started a campaign for the es- tablishment cf a library in the town. Residents of the area who are interested in the project attended an open meeting Tuesday night at Guilderland Elementary school to discuss plans for developing\ a 1,000- book unit. The town has no such facility at present. Leaders of the move have received permission from the Guilderland Board of-Education to use facilities at the new Guilderland Elementary school until the space is needed by the school, or permanent quarters can be found. The movement was started by members of 'the Westibrook Women's club, which has asked all other or- ganizations in the area to help in formation of a Guilderland library association. Mrs. Douglass Pratt, co-chairman of the Westibrook club's library committee, said various methods of establishing the library were dis- cussed at the meeting. She indicated that preliminary plans called for the borrowing of a number of books from the state tra- veling library and peshaps the Al- bany or Schenectady public libraries. These volumes would form the nuc- leus of the new library, and others would be obtained by .private con- tribution or purchase, after the new organization has conducted fund- raising drives or events. Mrs. Pratt said that it was the hope of those backing the program that permanent quarters could be found to house the collection. The library would be maintained and staffed by volunteers, she added Other members of the Westbrook club committee include Mr. Richard Coughlin, co-chairman; Mrs. Harold Kemm, Mrs. George Leverance, Mrs. Robert Johnstone, Mrs. John Kan- naley, Mrs. Thomas Molaney and Mrs. Joseph Stauch.

They also said that the area of the proposed extension is presently without fire protection of any kind. 'ibrmded tfi'e'^urclP11 yeais ago with 12' members.

APPEAL OPENS IN COUNTY APRIL 1 An estimated' 150 residents of Al- bany county will die of cancer in 1957 and 265 new cancer cases will be disagnosed, a report made public by the local unit of the American Cancer Society said recently. In inssuing the report, ACS chair- man, Trell Yocum, vice-president of Albert E. Oliver Tire Company, ''Al- bany, said that one of the .grim facts about cancer today was its predicta- bility. \In this forecast of cancer rates .for our community, he declared, \we must face these hard facts and make sure the forthcoming Cancer Crusade will receive every bit of support it asks to carry out its life-saving pro- grams.\ The annual ACS appeal will be launched Monday, April 1. The goal for Albany county is $60,000 in a nation-wide campaign for $30,000,- 000. Based on a population of 239,386 (the latest figure in the 1950 census) the report estimates that there will be 440 cancer cases under medical care here this year. About 88 per- sons will be saved from cancer in Albany county in 1957. The report says that according to present rates 25,000 residents of Al- bany county who are now living will eventually develop cancer. The ACS chairman pointed out that dramatic progress in cancer con- trol has been made, the ratio of lives saved from cancer improving from one in four to one in three now being saved. \This improvement amounts to at least 30,000 more cancer patients be- ing saved annually. But there is the tremendous task of saving an ad- ditional 75,000 Americans annually from cancer who are now dying be- cause treatment was not started' in time. \Of every six Americans who de- velop cancer today, two will be saved and four will die. One of the four who die will be lost needlessly. The other three who die will be lost to cancers which science cannot yet controL \The American Cancer Society's three-poiat program of research, edu- cation and service is designed to meet the problems posed by cancer. With the- cohtuiued support* ;'and|^coQpera- ;tion 0 of i .ihef jpubnteattcifaMj&torested \m t Christman Nature Essay Book To Appear April 4 A new book of Lansing Christ- man's nature essays will be issued April 4 by Hanover House of Gar- den City, New York. Entitled \A Hillside Harvest,\ the book-is Christ- man's second dealing with country living and the out-of-doors. Director of news broadcasting for General Electric stations WGY and WRGB in Schenectady, Christman continues to live on the same upstate New York farm where he was born. He has been a contributor to The Christian Science Monitor for the past 18 years, and his essays have earned for him .the title of \country philospher.\ Many readers have said that his writings yield tranquility and content. His essays have at- tracted wide attention, in this coun- try, and overseas. Author Carl Carmer, who wrote the foreword for \A Hillside Har- vest,\ says: \Lansing Christman's mind and pen are ever proving that nature offers only the strange and wonderful. ... He emphasizes the spiritual necessity of man's depen- dence on nature.\ Christman has been called \a naturalist, a botanist, and most of all. perhaps, a poet and he belongs in the high companionship of Thoreau and Burroughs whose good fortune it has been to write in loving and love- ly terms of our old northeastern out- of-doors.\ In the news field for more than 30 years, Christman has been doing creative writing since boyhood. His first book, \A Hill Farm Year,\ was launched in February, 1956, by the New York State Historical associa- tion in Cooperstown.
