HEAD OF ALBANY CO. SUPERVISORS The Albany County Board of Super- visors at its traditional New -Year's Day organizational meeting, re-elected and re-appointed certain county offi- cers, raised some salaries and author- ized the settlement for $30,000 to com- promise a claim brought by the Al- bany hospital against the county. The board welcomed two new su- pervisors, Floyd Walter, who succeeds- the late Louis Peters in Albany's 10th ward, and John E. King, who re- placed John J. Welsh in the town of Guilderland. The compromise claim brought by the hospital against the county, clears any and all disputed debts the hospi- tal alleged the county owed it for care and treatment of welfare patients up to and including Jan. 1, 1956. The hospital originally sought $150,000. Michael J. Powers, supervisor of Al- bany's 13th ward, was re-elected as board chairman by a vote of 29 to 3 oyer his Republican opponent, Wil- liam K. Sanford of Coionie. The board remains Democratic with a majority of 35 seats held by Demo- crats and only four by the GOP super- visors of the towns of Coionie, Beth- lehem, Guilderland and New Scotland. Reappointed by the board were Walter L. Collins, county attorney, who has held the post since 1931; Hen- ry Schmeder, who has been clerk of the board since 1932; and Dorothy K. Brown, deputy clerk; Mary A. Dowl- ing, committee clerk; Mary A. Burke, journal clerk, and Donald Scherer, doorkeeper. Also reappointed were County Wel- fare Commissioner Dr. Robert P. Wha- ien; James T. Healey, county histor- ian; James A. Ryan, county purchas- ing agent and superintendent of the county building; and George J. Pick- ett, County Veterans' service officer.

' Doorbell Sounds Alarm In Westmere Home A doofbell which turned into a firebell was the oddest feature of a rash of fires in the Albany area over the week end. The bell ,at the home of Paul Sum- mers, 1829. Western Ave,, Westmere, awoke Summers' wife early Sunday morning. As Mrs. Summers walked to the door, the bell stopped. Puzzled, she hesitated for a mo- ment Then she smelted smoke. Investigation by Mr. and Mrs. Summers revealed there was no one at the door. But there was a cellar full of smoke. Mrs. Summers phoned the West- mere Volunteer Fire department and awoke her three children and sister, Peggy Massey. Mr. Summers tried to extinguish the blaze with a garden hose. Within minutes, Westmere firemen were at the scene and put out the fire, which originated in a sub-floor beneath a parlor fireplace. It was then that the mystery of the ringing doorbell was solved. Wiring from the bell rang along the sub-flooring. The fire burnt the in- sulation from the wiring touching off the bell. Poultry Series Opens Jan. 14 At Delmar Junior High.

B. Hancock, campaign chairman, said. Receipts in the 1957-.campaign now being concluded are \slightly under\ the total .of last--year's sale, Han- cock said.j ' He attributed the flight decline to \a feeling on the part of some people that tuberculosis is licked;\ \Public health authorities still re- gard TB as a serious; problem, one that requires continued vigilance and a concerted attack by?;physicians and the public,\ Hancock cbhiriiented.

The Second Look The decline in new polio cases iu 1957 was truly one of the year's greatest blessings. But while we're saying \hats offf\ to the Salk vaccine, let's take a closer look at the polio picture. Is it really over? Can we now sit back and say \goodbye\ to one of the most dread, costly and tragic of hu- man diseases! Tens of thousands of disabled polio patients know better. And so do March of Dime^^pbmteers now conducting the an-i Commission* TOWN APPOINTEES John E. King, 40, a native of the town of Guilderland, became top offi- cial of the township Jan. 2 as he be- gan his term as supervisor. He suc- ceeds John J. Welsh, who served- four years in the office and was not a can- didate for reelection last November. Mr. King is a former salesman, and has pledged his talent and training to bring industry to predominantly resi- dential Guilderland. He is no new- comer to the Town Board, as he has been a councilman on it for eight years. In a statement to the Enterprise, Mr. King said, \All town officers are pulling together, and each will have his job to do.\ He emphasized the point that taxpayers who have complaints or problems should go to the proper au- thorities. \Those who have assess- ment complaints should take them to the Board of Assessors. Highway matters will be handled by the town highway superintendent. And health problems will be handled by the health officer. None of these duties are those of the Town Board, and they should and will.be handled by the pro- per authorities.\ Organizational Meeting Organization meeting of the Town Board was held Tuesday night, Jan. 7, at the town offices in the village of Guilderland. Town Board meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month at 8 p. m., except special meet- ings which can be called at any time by the supervisor. Supervisor King presided at the meeting. Other members of the board present were Edwin M. Righter and George Bigsbee, justices; Herbert T. Potter and Frank Polak, councilmen. Mr. Potter is a new member of the board, having been elected in Novem- ber to succeed Mr. King as council- man. Mi'lo H. Clark, town clerk; Victor Bassler, superintendent of high- ways, and John Schilling, town attor- ney, also attended the meeting.

That took $21,700,000 in March of Dimes funds. What is especial- ly significant is that only 4,800 of them contracted polio last year. The rest—53,000—-were victims of former years who still needed help. Thev'll need help this vear too, ruanv of them. The March of Dimes has allocated $21,100,000 for their care and rehabilitation. These are not statistics. They're real people. The \child with the crutches standing on the sidelines watching others play—that's polio. In hospitals and respirator centers, you can hear it in the steady breathing of the iron lung bellows, and you can see it in the thin ami dangling at the side. The March of Dimes continues to carry on its important role in serving humanity. , The success of its current cam- paign will be\measured in the success stories of polio's re- maining victims—those who have not only survived the dis- ease but are learning to live Worthwhile lives again. The March of Dimes deserves all-out support. Tom Carpenter Named 'Citizen of the Week' Tom Carpenter was given the Citizen of the Week award at Guil- derland Central High school yester- day. Tom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. Thomas Carpenter, R. D. 2. Alta- mont. Tom's nomination stated: \One word to describe Tom Carpenter is to say that he is energetic. A sec- ond word to accompany the first, explaining his activity in all direc- tions, is to say that he exhibits loyal- ty in the work he does. He has been a 'giant' in the music program of our school. He has sung in both the senior high boys' chorus and the high school mixed chorus. He has played both the saxophone and the clarinet in the high school band and often times directs the group while Mr. Wolven assists some individual sec- tion.

Like a television celebrity, he has the ability to direct the band and play at the same time. \This year he is the editor of the '58 Tawasenthan, our yearbook His character traits are reflected by his membership in the^Key Club. He is a hard worker with loyalty to the organization and with the school fore- most in his mind.
