2B | WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 2020 | THE CHRONICLE-EXPRESS Water Continued from Page 1B Over the years Fontier has made sev eral trips to the Congo with the equip ment, supplies and funds needed to build wells and latrines. He hires and trains locals for the construction pro jects, empowering them to build other wells and keep them operational. When Covid-19 started to spread globally, many organizations had to leave or halt WASH efforts in the Congo. Fontier too was forced to cancel his up coming trip for the next well building project. Fortunately, in the previous year HTSCongo had helped establish a local non-profit based in the Congo. The partner agency, TACasbl, was able to se cure an anti-COVID-19 program grant; this funding enabled TACasbl to go into villages to install handwashing stations • and teach people about the importance of social distancing and masks. As the world responds to COVID-19, access to safe water and sanitations is key to saving lives. HTSCongo will con tinue to help these efforts. \HTSCongo is a small operation,\ says Fontier, \We take care of one village at a time and when we're done, if we have the funding we go to the next vil lage\ The vision of HTSCongo is that one day all people in the Congo will have ac cess to sustainable clean water. For Fon tier, that day cannot come soon enough, he says. \As soon as I get the vaccine, I'm go ing back in,\ Fontier says. During this \Giving Season,\ HTSCongo is raising funds so that Con golese locals can repair and maintain existing wells. It costs just $100 to keep a well going in a village, so any amount from $1 on up will substantially contrib ute to the health and well-being of many who are at risk. A small amount will make a big difference for people in the Congo and help save lives.

Those who have used them give testimony as fol lows: “ We like our machine much; could not be persuaded to do without it and with the aid of Doty, we feel that we are masters of the position, ” - Rev. L. Scott, Bishop M. E. Church. “ In the laundry of my house there is a perpetual thanksgiving on Mondays for the invention ” - RevL. Cuyler. “ Every week has given it a stronger hold upon the affections of the inmates of the laundry.” - N. Y. Observer. “ I heartily commend it to economists of time, money and c.ontentment. ” - Rev. Dr. Bellows. “ Friend Doty: Your last improvement of your Washing Machine is a complete success. I assure you ‘ our Machine, ’ af ter a year ’ s use, is thought more of to day than ever, and would not be parted with under any circumstances. ” - Solon Robinson. 1920 Dec. 29,1920 Farm Bureau Takes Action. Resolution passed at the annual meeting of the Yates County Farm Bu reau, held at Wenda Hall December 18, 1920. Read by secretary. Whereas, there are institutions in this state, of long standing, and operat ing upon an enormous capitalization, and known as fraudulent promoting in terests; and, Whereas, said interests are able, through various forms of deception, to rob the public of hundreds of millions of dollars annually; and, Whereas, this enormous loss natu rally takes the form of an overhead charge, and is passed along and be comes a burden upon the shoulders of the agricultural interests; therefore the farmer is the goat, the shock troop in the whole transaction, and is being exploit ed by virtue of the fact that agriculture being the original source of all wealth, the farmer therefore, as a natural conse quence, is compelled to make up this loss to the public before he begins to earn for his own maintenance and the maintenance of people in general. Thus he occupies a unique but not enviable position, as he not only foots the bill, but is forced to sell his products to a con suming public whose purchasing pow ers have also been crippled by these same white paper institutions herein mentioned; therefore, Be It Resolved, That we, as members of the Farm Bureau of Yates County, in annual session, demand the immediate enactment of a law placing a rigid cen sorship over stock sales, a measure commonly known as a blue sky law.

This club started on their Christmas holiday tour Monday, which includes in its itinerary concerts in Syracuse, Mount Vernon (N. Y.), New York City, Philadelphia, Wilmington, Baltimore, Columbus, Detroit and Roch ester. There are some fifty in this musi cal club.

To maintain continuous opera tion of the plant it was necessary to serve the operators at the plant. After the dinner at the hotel George H. Whitaker, plant superintendent, pre sented each employee with a Christmas bonus check and a three-pound fruit cake. Approximately $2,600.00 was given to the 24 employees and the three men who are still in military service. The checks in amount were proportion ate to the length of service with the company and the wage rate of each em ployee. Thirteen men were credited with over 10 years of service in the or ganization. At the dinner Mr. Whitaker also dis closed to the employees that the compa ny shortly expects to announce a sub stantial expansion program with actual construction to be started as soon as conditions permit. Dec. 27,1945 Many Veterans Sign Up for Evening Courses to Start Wednesday, Jan. 2 The first accelerated high school course to be offered by the Penn Yan Board of Education under its newly or ganized counseling and educational program for veterans is intermediate al gebra. This course will meet for its first session at 7p.m. Jan. 2,1946, in Room 101 of the Penn Yan Junior High school. Harley Doolittle of the Penn Yan faculty will be the instructor. • While it is necessary to enroll in ad vance for the course with Donald Grant of the Penn Yan faculty, Mr. Grant states that, “ any who are unable to contact him in advance may present themselves at the time the class in intermediate alge bra begins, and determine at that time the advisability of taking intermediate algebra or one of the other courses to be offered. ” On or about the same time, it is antic ipated that classes in trigonometry, English IV, American history, and phys ics or chemistry will also start. These subjects still lack one or two students to make up the desirable minimum num ber for starting a class, but the rate in terested Veterans are now enrolling in the program, classes in the above named subjects will not be long delayed in starting. Dec. 27,1945 Seen and Heard Correcting the statement made in the report of the Junior High School fire last week, Fire Chief Howard Sprague calls attention to the fact that the fire alarm system was working all right as was the box at the corner of Court and Liberty streets. The man who attempted to turn in the alarm broke the glass and opened the door, but neglected to complete the third and most important operation by pulling the lever way down and then re leasing it. The fire hose in the school building did not work, he adds. Appar ently someone working on the school water line had shut off the water to the fire line and then neglected to turn it on again. 1970 Dec. 31,1970 Land-Sea-Air Army specialist five Carl A.

The 20-year-old soldier is a 1968 graduate of Dundee Central High, . School. Dec. 31,1970 FreshLook At What Is GoingOnln Ja pan Is Japan once again turning militaris tic? FIRST TUESDAY will take a fresh look at what is going on in Japan these days — notably the buildup of a military-in dustrial complex — in a filmed report to be presented on Jan. 5,9-11 p.m. in color on channels 2,3 and 8. Thomas Tomizawa spent the past month in Japan filming in Tokyo, Osaka, , Nara, Nagona, Hiroshima, Yokohama and other cities. “ Japan today cannot be explained just by the cliche words ‘ economic mir acle ’ , ” he says. The report will show a military estab lishment growing apparently to service the economy. This would counter a pos sible recession, Mr. Tomizawa notes, because of declining population (if pre sent birth rates continue) and increas ing difficulty in selling Japanese goods overseas. - “ Apparently, in the future, buildup of a segment of industry will be needed to boost the economy.\ he says. \That seg ment is probably going to be the defense industries: ships, jet planes, tanks. And a bigger military establishment would be needed to consume these products.\ Viewers will see film of defense goods factories, growing military instal lations, and birth control propaganda footage of the 1950s which succeeded in cutting population growth. “ Japan is a dynamic country involved in a web of pressures and counterpres sures,\ Mr. Tomizawa says. “ Different answers are possible. But the trend is toward greater acceptance of the mili tary and less abhorrence of war. There is a lot of push against the military but the greater push seems to be toward it -- though whether to the extent of the 1930s or not, I don ’ t know. ” Will the world one day have another Pearl Harbor to remember? “ It is as simplistic to say that Japan will become militaristic as it is to say that Japan will become the real demo cratic stronghold of Asia,\ Mr. Tomiza wa says. \The Japanese after World War II have been anti-military. But if they start emphasizing the military, they are going to have to build a new consensus — which is something the Japanese can do very well (as they did with popula tion control). But there is a trend toward greater repression of dissidents, espe cially political ones.\
