BRIDGE A SYMBOL OF PEACE Knox Church Choir To Give Vtttol Capers' Aug, 16-lf \Musical Capers,\ presented each year by the choir of the Knox Re- formed church, wijl be held Aug. 16 and 17 at 8 pr m. in the Knox church hail. This program originated three years ago when the choir was faced' with the ever-present needs for funds in its treasury. The money realized' from these programs has purchased robes for the minister and two choirs and a library of over 80 musical selections. This year there is a new problem; an organ fund has been started by the consistory of the church and funds are needed. The present organ that has been doing so well over 100 years is about due for retirement. Repairs are costly, and since it has so many years of serv- ice against it, it was decided to pur- chase a new organ. The choir does not anticipate paying for the organ, but plans to give the proceeds of this year's program to the fund. Sacred songs which will be pre- sented ^are: \At the Name of Jesus,\ arranged with varied settings' for a festival service by R. Vaughn Wil- liams; \I See His Blood Upon the Rose,\ music by Hugh S. Robertson; \Beautiful Savior,\ Twelfth Century melody arranged for mixed voices by George Morgan; \Go Not Far From Me, O God,\ from a \Ohristus e Miserere,\ Zingarelli. Negro spirit- uals will inclue: \When the Saints Come Marchin' In,\ \Give Me That Old Time Religion,\ and many others. The final part of the program will be devoted to popular songs pre- sented in duets, solos, etc. Why not come and enjoy an eve- ning of all types of music? Remem- ber the dates — Aug. 16 and 17, at the Knox Reformed church hall at 8 p. m. Tickets are on sale at Weidman's store, Knox, and also may be secured from choir members.

Altamont Kiwanis Regular dinner-meeting of the Alta- mont Kiwanis club will be held Mon- day, Aug. 12, at 6:30 p. m., at the Ma- plewood Inn. For the program — your guess is as good as the writer's. Again, after a dozen or more phone calls, we found that nobody \knew from nuthin\. about Monday night's program. Ho hum! Wouldn't you think that the program chairman (before he goes gallivanting off on his vacation) would furnish the press agent (public rela- tions) with a program of things to come? Or is that too much to ask? At Monday night's' meeting, ten of the latest contingent of Fresh Air Kids from New York were guests of the club. Kiwanis members rounded up the children from a wide area and brought them to the club dinner, tak- ing them home afterward. All but one of the kids succeeded in beating a rtnX I hast >' repeat after the .dinner. This i.iui.K, one ^ staying with hosts at Rich- mondville, had to sweat it out until everything was over, as he was the guest of \Pres\ Howard Gillen. Monday night's speaker was Francis Todd, accountant for Creole Petroleum Corp.. Venezuelan affiliate of Stand- ard Oil of New Jersey. Mr. Todd is a native of Schenectady. With his wife and daughter he lives at LaSal- ina on the eastern shore of Lake Mar- acaibo. Mr. Todd's recital of his career in Venezuela was very interesting. He gave much of the historical back- ground of this South American nation, and told of its industrial growth in recent years. Oil is one of the big- gest natural resources of Venezuela. After his talk, Mr. Todd showed a all large number of colored slides of parts of this interesting country.

Destroyed in the fire were most of the storage sheds and stock. The flames „also badly damaged an adjacent knitting firm, and caused a power failure in the area. An estimated 450 volunteers re- sponded to mutual aid calls after the fire broke out at 10:15 p. m. Satur- day. They worked through the night under direction of Rotterdam District 2 Chief Ted Johnson. The.firm is located at 1502 Curry Rd. Four trncks and two lift trucks were destroyed. An adjacent office and the Palma home sustained smoke damage. Most of the loss, unofficial- ly estimated at about $500,000, is re- ported covered by insurance. The firm, employs.seven persons. \ J& $an\^&i5ej#bM^j proprietor oi.j&Se' adjolfting 1 Newberry Knitting Mills, said the mill was,in \bad shape,\ but he could not yet estimate the loss. Greatest damage was caused by smoke and water fo the many ma- chines in the one large room, arid there was some fire damage. The company employs about 40 women in the manufacture of wool knit gloves, and has been at the site of 11 years. Robert Palma, founder and presi- dent 6\f the umber company, and his wife and four children were not at home when neighbors across the street discovered . the fire. There were conflicting reports that light- ning struck one of the buildings directly or that it first^ struck a nearby power pole and then spjread to the lumber yard. The pole was burned and wires carrying 34,000 -volts came down. Many homes in 'the area were without power for a few hours during the night when the lines were cut off temporarily for repairs.
