To make traffic movement in the vil lage more safe the trustees have placed on the right hand side of the Clinton street approach to Main street four letters 'which make Hie word “Stop.” This sign is unique in that each letter consists of a large square Hat piece of material which is held to the paving by suction. A small piece ol* this material lias been undergoing a test in front of the post office during the past few weeks. More of these signs have been ordered for use at such dangerous intersections as at Main street and North avenue. Tlie red stop warning light which was knocked down last fall a t the Main street intersection of Clinton street will also be replaced in the near future to worn traffic of the blind crossing and end of the street. The Penn, Yan Chamber of Com merce has leased for one year from George Excell, of this village, one and one-half acres of land across from Red Jacket Park to be used during the com ing* summer as a tourist camp. This action was announced last Wednesday at a meeting of the tourist camp com mittee consisting of David Miller, Welles Gviffetli and Albert Beardslee. The village recently purchased Red Jacket Park, located just outside of the Penu \ran village limits and on the shore of Lake Keuka. with the re-, strictiou that it should be used as a park ami not as a camping site for tourists. Recognizing the need of a camping ground for the thousands of travelers wh_o wish to stop near Penn Yan with tlieiv cars every summer, the chamber has been active la inves tigating the possibility of meeting this need. This new site, it is believed, will answer every purpose. A sum of money lias been set aside to furnish electric lights, garbage removal, toilets and city water. A public road running along the edge of Red Jacket Park on the north side wjjl permit tourists to have access to the lake and beach.

John Flahive, of Penn Yran, went for a ride with his family a week ago Sunday in the used tiuick touring car which lie had recently purchased of J. J. Mc- Elligott, local dealer. While on the road he noticed that the en gine was heating more than usual, and at Geneva he was forced to fill the radiator. At Seneca Falls and Auburn he again had to replenish tlie water supply. That trouble continued throughout the trip, so when John got back’ home he decided to find out the cause. The following Tuesday morn ing he went to the Conley & Race repair shop where lie had left the car. Now John had often heard of people who were “nutty in the beau,” but he was quite surprised when on asking Frank Conley “What was the m atter with my car?” lie hoard in re sponse, “Why it's nutty in the water connection.” And Frank proved that he was not joshing by exhibiting 14 full-sized shuck ed hickory nuts which he had extracted from tlie main rubber hose connection between the bot tom of the radiator and the 'war ter pump. Mrs.. Martin Steffen^en, of Branchpoint, R. IJ„ traded the car in for a new Buick, but lmw the hickory nuts got into the radia tor and how they ever worked their way down through the en gine and water pump into the hose connection is still a mys tery. ♦ ROCHESTER SCOUTS BUY TORREY FARM | Perry Demiiston Farm of 1G0 Acres on Seneca Lake Sold by Walter B.
