A beautiful memorial service oc cupied the morning worship hour of the church. Relatives and friends of the late Mr. Johnson and members of the church filled the auditorium. A large bouquet of white chrysanthe mums occupied the center of the communion table, through the thoughtfulness of the surviving elders of the church. Rev. Samuel G.

Chronicle-Express Will Be Day Early Next Week In order to better serve its readers the Chronicle-Express will secure accurate election re turns for all Yates county and publish these a day earlier than usual. Local subscribers will re ceive their papers Wednesday,, rather than Thursday morning. To make this possible, all news must reach this office as soon as possible. Forms will be closed to advertisers Tuesday after noon. In as much as the Chronicle- Express is the only newspaper which attempts to secure com plete returns of local elections, its early election editions are read with extra interest and thoroughness. Newsstand and counter sales alone on such oc casions sometimes mount as high as 900 copies — more than that sold in this manner by any other weekly paper in the Em pire state. Army o f Hunters Gets Some Birds, A Red Fox and Sofe Feet ANNOUNCE WORKERS FOR RED CROSS DRIVE j Membership Dues May Be jPaid at Polls Next Tuesday When Annual Campaign Starts On election day will open the an nual Red Cross roll call for members.

There were made 1,090,000 Red Cross home visits, 69,000 visits to veterans* hos pitals and 149,000 canteens were op erated. There were 322,553 volunteer work ers who made 3,681,000 surgical dressings, 4,700,000 garments, 18,000 layettes, 16,000 Christmas bags for soldier boys and 326,000 pages of Braile were transcribed. The Penn Yan chapter received 1/125 of the million dollars spent by the American Red Cross, * or over $8,000 in supplies and flour. The chapter's activity this year will de pend upon the roll call returns but each town will keep its membership money. Mrs. Carl F. Brunt is county chair man of roll call, while the town chair men are: Benton/ Mrs. Elmer Plat- man; Barrington, Mrs. Lee More house; Italy, Mrs. Frank Briglin; Jer usalem, Mrs. Wentworth Stever; Mid- delsex, Mrs. F.

Mrs. H. M. Robert Addresses D. A. R. Ends 30 Years In News Service The October meeting of the Gu-ya- no-ga chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution was held Oc tober 25th at the home of Mrs. Wil liam D. Fox. Miss Florence Hartley, accompanied by Miss Helen Wheeler, delighted the members with her splendid rendition of three solos, “Love Has Eyes” by Bishop, “Spa tially Jim” by Homer and “The Kerry Dance” by Molloy. Mrs. G. L. Barden urged all mem bers to go to the polls at the coming election. Mrs. Clyde Kelchner re ported that she had written to the Columbia Film company expressing her appreciation, for the fine picture “One Night of Love” whicn will be shown in Penn Yan in the near fu ture. The exhibit and tea given by the Homemaking department on Tuesday at the school for the members of the chapter was announced by Mrs. C. E. Shepard. Mrs. H. G. Fitzwater mentioned the “National Defense News” stressing the fact that special attention be given to the study of the constitu tion for the coming year and also suggested, that reading groups take up the study. (Continued on page four) It was just 30 years ago that the regular correspondent for the Yates County Chronicle at Milo Center wa? unable to carry on her work and that the editor called upon Mrs. Marvin L. Spooner to help out temporarily by sending items of interest from her community to the county paper. Mrs. Spooner responded to the call by do ing her best. Her best was so good that she became the permanent rep resentative of that newspaper in Milo Center, a position which she has held and filled until this week. Those three decades have brought from Milo to the columns of the news paper, now the Chronicle-Express, many important items of news — the church burned and rebuilt, crops suc cessfully harvested, crops destroyed; births, marriages, deaths; the death of her husband in February last year, farm homes established and des troyed; happy times, sad times; all have been recorded by her pen and placed in print. This week Mrs. Spooner leaves to make her home for the winter with her daughter, Mrs. Charles H. Arnold of Bergen. During the summer she has resided with her son and fam ily, Mr. and Mrs. Leon Hunt Spooner of Milo. During the absence of her mother-in-law last winter, Mrs. Leon Spooner assisted by serving her com munity as correspondent. Besides her many household duties, Mrs. Spooner spent much time with oil painting, an art which ghe taught. To this was later added her work as a newspaper correspondent and an active worker in the community church. Mrs. Jane Webb of Hanbury, Eng., celebrated her 100th birthday in the same house where she was born. Rochester will build a $60,000 city garage in the Dewey avenue yards of the Department of Public Works, with TERA aid. Amherst college, Amherst, Mass., Friday dedicated a memorial to the late John Davenport of Bath, who was graduated from that college in 1858. The memorial is a structure built in addition to the college ath letic center and was made possible through the will of Mr. Davenport, who died in 1895, the trust not be coming effective until some time after the death of his wife. Good weather for gunner and dog to get their birds greeted the pheas ant hunters the first of this week. The wind Monday made it hard for some, but there were many men afield and some good braces brought home. Tuesday, a damp day with less wind, proved tb the liking of man yothers, who also reported fair bags. But most of the talk around Penn Yan dinner tables Monday and Tues day night centered -on the dogs. ♦ There was the bird dog of Michael Moses, Penn Yan patrolman, for ex ample, which turned fox hound. “Mike,” proud owner o f the dog, Har ry Putnam, president of the Citizens bank of Penn Yan, Dr. Charles E. Stone, prominent Republican politi cian, and John Ackley, all o f Penn Yan, were walking through the Chris Jen- Jensen place near Bellona ahd about a mile east of Hall Monday morning with guns alert. Suddenly “Mike's” dog began “working” on something. Imagine the suprige of the hunters when it flushed a beautiful red. fox, which Mr. Ackley brijiight to a “dead” stop on its back with one shot. The fox was full grown and rewarded the hunter with a fine pelt.\ Patrolman Moses, t the same “ Mike” Moses who saves his shot until he can see the whites of their eyes and then grabs the rabbit by the legs, is flow wondering whether he owns a bird flog or a fox terrier. , While some hunters returned with bags empty or practically ‘ empty, there were very few who reached home without something to show1 for their day in the wet fields — a godd cold or sore feet. Yates county, however, appears to have been fortunate for the early three days of the hunting season, es caping serious accidents, which have frequently marred the open season here and Which have already brought death and injury to hunters in near by sections. Perhaps the hunters in the fields this year are better sports men. At least, the farmers have made fewer complaints about killed stock and ruined fences. Thursday, Friday and Saturday Of this week remain for those who wish to hunt the elusive pheasant, now thoroughly frightened and likely to stay in hiding unless pushed out by a dog's nose.

Rip Van Winkle's Strange Inter lude” has delighted crowds of Holly wood stars for months during its successful run at the Olvera Street Marionette theatre in Los Angeles. This unchanged version, as shown to the sophisticates of the film center, will be shown this coming season throughout the United States. A special version of “Rip” will be for the pleasure of the children in the morning, with- a trip to Tinker Toy land and to Santa Claus’s workshop in Little America. The children, too, will have an1 opportunity to see mari onette reproductions of those acts at the Chicago World's fair which would be particularly interesting to them: The Floating Lagoon- theatre, En chanted Island, Black: Forest,1 Wings of a Century, introducing' clowns, an imals, Mardi Gras, and mtivie stars in miniature. ’ There are 17 original singing numbers, some especially' written with the idiosyncrasies of certain motion picture stars in mind — all in a satirical vein. The settings and the lightings have been worked out with infinite care to give the pfoper value to each character. Backed by five years of successfully playing in one theatre, the artists with adept fingers bring the finishing touch to the “Theatre of the Little People.” This company has made several movies. Their most famous show was “I Am Suzanne,” in which they worked with Lillian Harvey. * * * * P. Y.

The game promises to be interesting as Lyons will be out for a victory to, avenge the defeat handed them in baseball on last Decoration *day by the Acad emy squad. So far, the Academy has won two league games and lost one. Two other losses by them were non-league games, so there is still an excellent chance for them to come out of the league on the winning side. Two league games remain to 'be played: One with Elmira Heights at Penn Yan and one with Painted Post at Painted Post. STAN RIFFLE. * * * * Penn Yan vs, Seneca Falls The Penn Yan Academy was de feated by Mynderse Academy of Sen eca Falls. The score was 13-0. The teams had to play in a steady down pour, which made it almost impos sible to try a passing attack. The ball was fumbled by both teanis. The first score was made in the second quarter. The ball was in Penn Yan’s possession on about the ten yard line, Penn Yan fumbled and the ball was recovered by a Seneca Falls player. Seneca Falls put it over the line for’ a touchdown and a lead of six points. However, they didn't make the extira point. In the third quarter, Penn Yan passed and the ball was Inter cepted by a Setyca Falls player, who ran it up to our nve-yard line.
