This will be the last game of the season for Penn Yari Academy and - the largest crowd of the season is hoped for. EDWARD RAMSEY. * * * * The Marionettes The marionette show that was giv en on Monday was clever and most enjoyable. The jilay presented was “The Century of Progress,” which consisted of selected scenes which might be found there. The first was a line of marching soldiers. Follow ing that, it showed a skating scene, and other hits of interest such as a street scene and a carnival. Another sketch was the temple of terror. One of the, most- popular parts was a play let, “Outneiling O'Neil.” The pro gram concluded with a clever Rip Van Winkle sketch. There were some good, impersonations of some of the movje stars such as Mae West, Clark Gable and also a puppet >of Doctor Einstein. On the whole the puppets were cleverly made and well mani pulated. FRANCES BROWN ♦ After an interview with Mr. Smith, owner of the marionettes which were presented in the Junior High audi torium Monday night, I learned many interesting facts which I would like to pass along to you. ' Mr. Smith and his company have been in the marionette business for about six years and have used their marionettes ni over 20 motion pic tures. The company's headquarters and theatres are located in Los An geles and Chicago. When one sees a marionette play he does not realize the many things which must be done before the play can be presented to him. First the play and dialogue must be written. Then the marionettes must be made, then comes the rehearsing of the play. It will be interesting to know that Mr. Smith and his company write all the plays, design and make all mar ionettes and also the costumes,, which must follow the period in which the play is written. The children's dr burlesque plays are most popular to day. The production of a marionette play does not require as muen rehear sing as a regular‘stage play wbtild, because after the play is written and is ready for the rehearsing, the oper ators know just what .they want their marionettes to do. , It should be no wonder to us, that the owners grow to love their littlfe people, which seem like humans to them. I wonder how many of Us know that a good marionette must be operated by a man, of course there are some exceptions, but generally a woman is too quick and jerky and therefore misses part of the actions needed. I am sure anyone who likes amuse ment of this type would certainly en joy seeing this play. COLMEY, '37 The icy cold winter waters of Lake Keuka were twice warmed last week by the reflection of fires on or near its shores. The first was Thurs day afternoon when the Clyde Moore cottage home on the West branch was razed by flames; the second, a spectacular conflagration atop Bluff Point, when the three barns and silo on the old Wagener place, now owned by Paul Garrett, were burned early Saturday evening. As far north as the Canandaigua- Geneva turnpike motorists saw the glow in the sky. As they neared Rushville the flames were visible. From all points across Lake Keuka the burning barns furnished a mag nificent spectacle, reminiscent of the signal fires undoubtedly burned there not many, years ago by the Senecas. The origin of the fire is a mystery. Mrs. McMinn, a neighbor in that vi cinity, thought she saw an auto drive away before the blaze. But others travelling the same road at the same time do not report seeing the car. It was thought that someone might have stepped into the building and carelessly discarded a cigaret. In a barn filled with equipment and standing near the old road as it turns dowh the side of the Bluff, is where the flames originated. A 30- foot fence connected this with the nekt barn, filled with grain. Flames wfere being carried by the wind aefoss this fence when the fire was first noticed by Howard Gridley. As the grain barn, with some 300 bush els of okts, was being consumed the wind shifted to a more favorable di rection, but sparks ignited the third structure, a cow barn and silo, the former being filled with 25 tons of hay. The pumper from the Penn Yan fire department was summoned, btft did not respond, because of bad roads arid the reported lack of water stipply on top of the Bluff, 800 feet above the lake. Walter Wren superintends the in terests on the Point of Paul Garrett, who was in New York city Saturday. J. W. McMinn works for him and lives in the old Lee place, just north of the Wagener house on the tip of the Bluff. Arthur Berryman and Gerald Griffiths arrived at the scene of the fire soon after Mr. Gridley and were ablfe to save a little grain. It (Continued on paiere two) Mrs. Isabel Mahoney At the home of her sister-in-law, Mrs, Catherine Barry on Brown street, Penn Yan, Tuesday, November 13th, occurred the death of Mrs. Isa bel Mahoney, aged about 80 years.

Yates Leads in Grapes A survey of the vineyards in the Finger Lakes region in 1930 showed that over three-fourths of the grapes grown here were of the table variety, while wine grapes composed only 12% of the total crop and mixed varieties the remaining 12%. Though very few grapes were purchased by the wineries this fall, some changes in acreage may have taken place in the past four years. This same survey showed that in 1928 about 21,000 tons of grapes were grown in Yates, Steuben, On tario, Schuyler and Seneca counties, which produced quantities in the or der named. Of the total harvest, 58% w£re Concords, 12% were Niag aras, 11%. Catawbas, 4% Delawares. Next, in quantities, all less than 1% of the total yield, came Ives, Elviras, Wordens, Salems, Clintons, Isabellas, Agawams, Tallmans, Moore Earlys, Diamonds, Dianas, Campbell Earlus, Enmelans, Vergennes, Ionas, Dutchess, Brightons and others. At the time of this census there were 8,930,093 grape vines of both bearing and non-bearing age in the five counties. Estimating 650 vines to the acre, this would mean about 14,- 000 acres. Since then some vineyards have been uprooted and others plant ed. But at the time of the census the grape acreage was distributed as follows: crushed lifeless body of the man and the mass wreckage of the car 187 paces down the track. broke off an electric light pole in front of the Wainwright residence and then followed the ditch to the west side of the bridge and plunged to the rocky bed of the steam below. The car turned over and struck on its top front corner on the d r i v e r ' s side. Apparently no one saw the accident. It was thought that an hour elapsed before the accident was dis covered. Mr. Harpending was taken from the car in an unconscious condi tion and removed to his home and a physician called. It was not thought that his injuries were seri ous, but it was deemed best to have him removed to the Arnot-Ogden hos pital in Elmira for further examina tion.

On Friday the pupils of the Penn Yan Academy witnessed a stirring Armistice day pageant, composed of school talent. A figure (Hazlett Woodard) clad in white armor, repre sented Democracy, called forth, each in turn, students, representing four of the main countries which participated in the World war. Great Britain was represented. ,by Jane Sanford; France by Grace Ferguson; Italy by Concetta Tripoli, . and Belgium by Betty Lou Wootton. United States was represented by a group of Boy and Girl Scouts,, a soldier and a sail or. Then Memory, in the person of Virginia. Porter, took the spotlight. In her hand she held a scroll on which was written a list of the names of the Penn Yan boys who lost their lives in the war. She read these — one by one — and as each name was read, a girl dressed in white carried a wreath to the front of the room and laid it in front of a cross which had been placed in the center of the stage. As a large wreath was being placed on the cross in honor of the unknown soldiers someone was heard playing Taps. This brought the pro gram to a majestic and solemn finish. MYRTLE FAITHFUL. For the first time in many years Yates cdunty voters favored a bond issue, which indicates a general change in sentiment here concerning public relief. Last week Tuesday the local voters favored by a 3,202 to 5,451 vote the new state bond issue for Welfare work, according to the official tabulation completed Wed nesday morning of this v/eek, when the board of supervisors convened as a county board of canvassers with Harry C. Cole of Potter as cnairman. Always in the past Yates has vot ed against anything and everything that might mean additional taxes from the state. This year brings a remarkable* exception. In other re spects, however, citizens voted about as usual. Lehman, Democratic candi date, secured 2,106 votes for governor while Moses, Republican opponent, secured 4,887. The only other office for which returns had been officially checked Wednesday morning by Elec tion Commissioners Fred Rogers and Jeremiah Buckley were attorney gen eral. Bennett secured 1,832 and Powers, the Republican, 4,952.
