Miss Flor- ence F. Griffin, there were four births in the village of Palmyra and 22 deaths, while in the town of Palmyra there were eight births\ and eight deaths, during the past year 1942. Of course, the rate of births for Palmyra seems very low by this report, due to babies being •bom in hospitals in nearby towns, and also deaths that occiir outside the town limits' are not recorded in the local--»ffice,-thus the above are not the actual figures of births or deaths of Palmyra residents this past year.

OFFICERS CLUB ELECTS YEA R L Y HEADS The Officers Club pf Palmyra Chapter, O.E.S., met at the home of Worthy Matron Winifred Rum- furnjsh aid in removing snow and ico from its streets and highways, the superintendent may supply that help by providing equipment and personnel either from the county.or from any municipality within the county. , This, however, is contingent up on agreement by the superinten dent and the official in charge of snow removal in the municipality supplying' such help that equip ment and personnel can be trans- ferred-without serious interferenco with the removal of snow and ice from streets and highways within that municipality. Unless a county mutual aid plan provides otherwise, when equipment and men are transferred to a municipality requesting aid, all such equipment and personnel shall bo under the supervision of the official in charge of snow re moval in the receiving municipal ity during the period such help is rendered. The plan further provides that the County Superintendent of Highways may prepare and sub mit to the Board of Supervisors of oncli county for approval a coun ty mutual aid plan for snow re moval within the county or be tween counties. Such a plan may provide for tlio transfel- of men and equipment between municipal ities and may provide for the per ron who will supervise personnel and equipment which is transfer red from one municipality to an other. When the Board of Super visors approves, this plan becomes the county mutual aid plan for snow removal. The plan may bo amended from time to time in the sumo manner as originally adopt ed. Liability of any municipality re questing help is fixed and deter mined by Section 43 of thp_ New York State War Emergency Act, All expenditures shall bo charged against the snow removal fund3 of the city or town requesting aid. If funds are insufficient, money rnay be borrowed for this purpose and included in the next annual tax levy, notwithstanding the pro visions of any general or local law or ordinance to the contrary.
