B\ Griffin, of Kcuka Park, who have been spending several \ months at New Port Richey, Fla., dur ing the winter, arc ndw visiting rela tives and friends in and around New York City while on their way home They are expected to reach the park the latter part of this week or the first of next. In the following intensely interest ing letter, Mr. Griffin describes the harvesting of sponges in the Gulf of Mexico: Editor Chronicle-Express: If one should go west about 80 miles from where we are, he would come to a rocky formation in the bot tom of the gulf. And this formation extends about 400 miles running north and south. I have seen no statements to this effect from learned men, but this 1 gather from the men 'who are engaged in the business of gathering sponges. And this formation comes sometimes to within 30 or 40 fevt of the surface. At other places the divers go down 100 feet or more. At Tarpou Springs, a city 12 miles south uf us, is the headquarters for the sponge in dustry in this state. Here is one of the greatest sponge exchanges in the U. S., if not in the world. Our friends, the Wrights, wanted to see this inter esting place and we were glad of the privilege of going with them. (Continued %on page three.)

The lakes, streams and game cov ers of the Finger Lakes Region may soon be brought, lo their maximum in supporting fish and game life through a program of unifying the sportsmen’s interests in the organization of the proposed New York state council of fish, game and forests. According to word just received by Clarence R. Andrews, local director of the Finger Lakes Association, a meet ing was recently held in Auburn at which representatives of the lake counties were present to organize the sportsmen of the region as a unit. W il liam O. Dapping, of Auburn, chairman of the conservation committee of the Finger Julies Association, Avas unani mously named to represent the region on the unofficial state council, pend ing such time as the legislature makes such body official. Plans were made to seek the estab lishment of a fish hatchery and a state game farm in the region at the earliest moment for the exclusive stocking of waters and game covers of the region. The delegates agreed to secure the complete endorsement of the plan from the people of their respective counties and to seek the aid of their legislators in restoring the' countryside to its former wealth of lisli and game. This county was represented at Au burn by W. D. Reed, of Penn Yan. D a y s B e g A u t o Minutes of uu adjourned regular meeting of the village board, held Feb ruary 19, 1926.

Miss- Belli Twituhell, of Kushvillc, was elected vice-president of the young people’s council of the New York State Sunday School Association at the Saturday morning session of the third annual youth conference held in the Central Presbyterian church, of Rochester, last week-end with some 600 delegates from all sections of the state in attendance. Miss Tivitchell, who is now a student in. the women’s department of Auburn Theological* Seminary, was a member of the state council before by reason of her office as secretary and treasurer of the Yates county council. Miss Twitch ell also responded with a toast at the ban quet held by the conference in the Lake Avenue Baptist church. Yates county was represented at this conference of young people by an unusually large delegation, including: Miss Gladys Bush, Miss Russlyn Boyd, Miss Lola Legro, Paul Ijook and Ralph Rhinehavt, of Penn Yan; Miss Leona Sutherland, Miss Eunice Winters and Frank• Mazzeo, of Keuka Park; Ver non Wood, Melvin MeCrevry, JLeland Welker and Edwin Welker, of Dres den; Miss Dorothy Smith, Miss Anna Larsen and Leighton Shaw, of Dun dee; Miss Mary Fisher, Miss Vera Robinson, Miss Belli TtvitcheU, Wil fred Robinson, Frank Twilchell and Wilson Savage, of Rushville, -and Sid ney E.

This original Accordingly a:vardcd the sale. j piece of equipment is the result of ------ ♦ ------ i years of study and experience on the part of Earl Burnell and his assist ant, Guy Hamilton. These- I avo men have been Avorking together on this remarkable apparatus since Christmas time. During the Viree Avceks of its use since it w as completed it has prov en a great time saver and a producer of much better photographic enlarge ments. The apparatus was built to do the Avorlt of one of the Eastman commer cial machines costing some $700, built iu the vertical plane, and requiring a very fast enlarging paper. This kind of paper, however, has serious disad vantages. It must be handled iu very weak light, and is so “ touchy” that only a perfect negative will give sat isfactory results. The apparatus now in the Burnell studio is const meted in the equally convenient horizontal plane which permits the use of a 30,- 000 candle-power arc light, and oper ates with equal ease and accuracy. A much “slower” or less sensitive pa per may be used permitting the best results even from very imperfect nega tives. Within ordinary limits the lo cus is entirely and perfect.lv automatic. This is a cleverly arranged point of equality w ilh the commercial machine Avhich instituted this feature at the ex pense of other important, things. By long experimenting Mr. Burnell and Mr. Hamilton have produced of 'wood a cam, Avith outside v.ilz* characterla tic of the local points of the lens in the camera, thereby making possible absolutely accurate and automatic fo cus for all ordinary enlargements.. Thus their machine becomes in. every way the equal, and in many Avays the superior of the Eastman machine. By simply disconnecting this automatic arrangement, how ever, and setting in place a convenient track extension, the camera lens, which is mounted on a small car with ball-bearing wheels, can be adjusted\ by hand for reducing pictures. By this method photographs can be produced ranging from about one-fourth the size of the negative to enlargements of J. l by M inches with a white border or even 20 by 24 inches ’without border. There are more Ilian a dozen clever litllo mechanical arrangements on this apparatus, each one of which in a time saver and yet Avhich can not be accurately described: a neat scrcAV- ahd A meeting of the special committee appointed by the president of the Penn Yan Chamber of Commerce lo investigate the need and possibilities of a community hall in this village Avas held here last Aveek Thursday, with H.

Ritchey, president of the Fin ger Lakes Land Company, has just made a very generous contribution to the Rotary Club of Penn Yan in agree ing to deed to them 10 acres of land on the tract that he is developing ad jaceiit to Lake Keuka and identified as “The Indian Pines,” aa itli the under standing that the Rotary Club accept the deed to this property and agree to its reforestation. The Rotary Club is must fortimalr jn having offered to them such a gen erous contribution, because they have lowering the lens: a simple hand lever brake for locking the camera and easel in position; the graduated adjustable border masks, which make possible on the enlargement Avhitc borders of variable width and unexcelled sharp cut. neatness; a pilot, light which turns on and off automatically at just the right instant; a most convenient hinged platen for holding the sensitive paper iu place, the springs that give just the proper tension, and the auto matic platen release; also the nega five frame which qvjth the aid of a thumb screw' straightens a crooked negative to a nicely. All of the above are time-savers of great value aud. with the exception of the first and the Iasi, all originated with the local men. This apparatus is able to do all en larging and reducing work brought to the Burnell Studio—and there is a. lot of it. They do much more enlarging than the average photographers in a town of this size. Other photograph ers send their work here, and in addi tion there are many regular customers from all over Yates and surrounding counties.
