Garrett, one of the largest property holders on Bluff Point. * s According to information given out for publication, the site chosen for the huge development is that which was at one lime chosen as a proposed state park, but. which, through a cancella-, t.ion of the contract existing between ; Paul Garrett and the state park com- mission, has again reverted to the ■ Paul Garrett estate. In addition to the Garrett property, which consists of 450 acres, the south- mu men interested in the development have obtained an option on the prop-i erties of D. Arthur Berryman, Charles Sprague, Henry Lee, Manley Lee, J. M. Woodard and II, C. Dinwiddie, the entire acreage consisting of 1200 *perior acres. Early last fall, two men having valu able experience along the develop ment lines, came to Bluff Point to look over the situation. W. F. Ross, •ivlio recently developed- one town in Florida and has a $1,000,000 develop ment project, in Greensboro, N. C., sent L. J. Duffy and B. D. Vinson, of Greens boro, to inspect conditions on the point and to report as to the advis ability of starting development there. The men were decidedly enthusi astic over the proposition and wired to Ross to come immediately and see for himself. This Mr. Ross did and he, too, was charmed and surprised at the prospects for a huge develop ment tract on Bluff Point. His en thusiasm was so great that he im mediately took steps toward getting an option on the properties mentioned above. Some of the points in favor of the proposed development of a summer and winter colony on Bluff Point are summed up in the following: Rising as it does, 1440 feet above sea level, the level lands on the crown of the Bluff offer a rarified atmos phere which rivals that of famous mountain colonies in this and foreign countries. The scenic grandeur of the adjoining hills and the lakes, nestl ing at the base of the old bluff, have caused favorable and enthusiastic comment from many nationally famous artists who were brought here to view it. Their opinion was that the cloud effects seen from the bluff were su to many which have been put on canvas and that in time Bluff Point would be famous as a setting for artists. Another peculiar thing about the scenery on the Bluff and surround ing hills is that it changes daily—the coloring, the foliage and the fields each day undergo some change wheth er minute or great.. There are groves and wooded thatches clustered here and there on the bluff, which would prove alluring to I he man or woman •v t ho likes hiking or picnic parties. (Continued on page eight.) Once upon a time there was a big giant named Anthracite, who lived in the mountains of Pennsylvania and furnished heat for New York, New England and a part of Canada. Every • few years he would withhold the heat making it scare and more costly. One day he said to himself, \I 'will take a vaca tion at the very start of winter and when the people become very cold they will come to me and pay me anything I ask for the heat.” So, when winter came, he started on his vacation and there was no heat for the people. But about Ibis time a good fairy, named Substitutes, came along and furnished more and better heat to these people for less money. And the people for got all about the big dirty black giant that lived in the moun tains. Moral: This old world stands on more than one leg. If your business doesn’t look to the needs of its customers, your cus tomers will look to another man’s business for their needs. SUGGEST WIDENING PENN YAN MAIN ST.

The following communication rela tive to the interesting event of its or ganization appeared in the Yates Re publican of January 10, 1826: \The Episcopalians met pursuant to notice on Tuesday last (January 3, 1826), and organized the church of St. Mark’s, and the following gentlemen were duly elected Its officers: Church Wardens—Martin Keudig, ; Abraham Dox.

In 1838, the year next succeeding that in which the parish was organized, the church edifice was erected on the lot where now stand* the dwelling of William N. Wise. It was consecrated on the 8th day of August. Its cost was about $7,000. The services of the church held prior to the erection of the edifice were conducted regularly in the old Masonic Hall on Court street.\ \ 'The church In Penn Yan/ says a recently-written historical article, 'has j seems to think a park will be estab- : lished at Bluff Point, he thinks no i such outcome will result.

Two of the five directors of the as sociation will be elected at the meet ing, the Lerfhs of W. R. Putnam, Sara- tiga county, and G. E. Munt, Genesee county, having expired. A proposed amendment to the By-Laws will be voted on. This 'amendment requires that the directors shall be elected from the wool growers of New York State who sell their wool through the association and with whom the sheep industry is of major importance. According to a recent report from the association office at Syracuse, the growers’ organization handled 610,000 pounds of wool in 1925. This is 3 40,000 pounds more than was handled in 1924. Prices received were approximately the same as in 1924. Delegates from the local association are Stephen B. Whitaker and John Win.

LOCAL LEGIONNAIRES TO ENTERTAIN COMMANDER H a r r y C. W ild e r Accepts In v ita tio n of Johnson-CosteHo Post of A m e rican Legion fo r Feb, 12th, Penn Yan oys C o llect A lp h a b e t from T rees, Two 11-year-old Penn Yan boys have collected the complete alphabet from trees and vines in this village, curi- ouslv twisted branches and twigs, forming each letter. The interesting collection is now on display in the window of the Penn Yan Printing Co., Inc., opposite the Birkett Mills. Darrell Morrow, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dudley Morrow, 108 Seneca St., and Donald Mills, sou of Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Mills. 110 Seneca St., are the boys who made this collection their hobby for several weeks. Both are students in the Hutton street school and got the idea from an article and picture which recently appeared iu the Finger Lakes Topics. The boys started making the collec tion Nov. 20th, and by the end of a month had found every letter of the alphabet and all of them within the limits of the village. Each letter is comprised of but one piece of wood. Preparations are under way for the reception of the official visitation of the department commander, Harry C. Wilder, on Friday, February 12, 1926. Elaborate plans arc being made to en tertain him royally during* his brief It is * visit here. It is hoped that some way great will be devised whereby the public will be given the opportunity of hear ing and meeting the State Commander of the American Legion, for his mes sage will be important to every citizen in the town. Wherever the slate commander has spoken this year, he has left an indelible impression upon all who have listened to his talks on subjects of paramount importance to the state and nation at large. Othqr legionnaires of executive im portance in the state will also be pres ent on this notable occasion. Among those who have already accepted are Merritt G. Ward, chairman of the 7th judicial district, and an active legion naire on several important state com mittees, and James F. Gallivan, of Rochester, commander of the Genesee Valley Post, one of the strongest and most active posts in that city. The latter has always been instrumental in the welfare of the Legion in New York State. The Johnson-Costello Post feels ex ceptionally fortunate in being able to entertain the state commander for it is known that he has received over 700 other invitations to be present at functions of this sort and must neces sarily decline some. Further details of the program will be announced at a later date. ------ 4- ---- - was paid $35.00 a month for this.

He then went to New York and en tered Union Theological Seminary, from which he grauuated. He was . then called back to Maryville College as head professor of Latin. This position he held ten years, when he was ctilled back to New York as pastor of the Olivet Memorial 1 Church. . From there he was called to Cincin nati, O., as pastor, and while there was called to the presidency of West ern College for Women at Oxford. It was there that his present church, the Chambers-Wylie Presbyterian, of Philadelphia found him. In 1916-17 he was the chairman of our general ' assembly's judicial commission. Dr. Newman writes the Sunday school lesson each week for the \Phil- adelpliia Enquirer.” He has <?,lso writ-, ten a booklet on the theme: \An Ed- j , ucation for You,” published by the1 American Sunday School Union, of Philadelphia. One of Dr. Newman’s favorite say ings is: \Give a boy or girt a noble purpose and twenty-six letters of the alphabet to work with and the angels 1 themselves cannot set limits to what j of the Penn Yan Grange. : he or she can do,” He also says that' he \likes to live better than to do 1 anything else!” str'eet to help relieve the traffic icon gestion that is there most of the time.
