Mrktrtrictc Ron ft ^ ofldaLy t September 16* I 985 Banner Times-Page-5 Will Restore Musical Sounds Thirty years ago, Mr. John Ben Snow had installed in the Pulaski Baptist ' Church a beautiful SehuTtimerick'Cariflbn \in memory of 'the\ Snow'Family - thf& generations of devoted members bf the church\. The bronze memorial plaque goes on to state \a gift to the church and the community\. Over the years, the bells have struck the hour and each quarter hour to be heard over the village. After striking twelve noon and six in the evening, a number of familiar hymns were played by the bells. For about two or more years, the carillon has been silent. Because we at the church have missed the musical sounds—and many out in the community have mentioned it also—we are; working to ac- cumulate the funds to replace the fcariil^h. \The ja]d oihe ca&npt be repaired. Replacement parts are not available. Each group in the church has a project to raise money—the children in the Sunday School, Ann Judson Mission Circle, each commission of the Board of Directors, Baptist Youth Fellowship, and others. In ad- dition, special offering envelopes are in the pews for spare change. We have received offerings, also, from friends in the community. The music committee, headed by Mrs. Cheryl Stagl, organist/ is steering the project and Richard Fowler has been assigned to obtain estimates.

Cuomo has announced. The annual fees will be reduced by about one-third for most cars and trucks, and for all agricultural and farm vehicles. The reduced fees apply to nearly 92 percent of the State's 9.2 million registered vehicles. \For the average family car, this reduction means an annual savings of $12 off the current $36 registration cost,\ Governor Cuomo said. \The lower fees reflect our continuing efforts to reduce the cost of government to the people of New York.\ The reduced fees apply to new registrations and those due for renewal after September 1. Excluded are certain types of commercial vehicles, as well as tractor-trailers, trailers, special- purpose commercial vehicles, buses, taxis, livery vehicles, hearses, ambulances and motorcycles. Governor Cuomo gave these examples of the savings motorists can expect under the new fee schedule: For a subcompact car, weighing about 2,000 pounds, the registration fee will be reduced from $21.50 to $15, a savings oi $6.50; For a mid-sized car, in the range of 3,Q00 pounds, the fee will be reduced from $32.50 to $22.50, a savings of $10; For a full-sized j luxury class car, weighing 4,000 pounds, the fee will be reduced from $46.25 to $31.75, a savings of $14.50. The new schedule also reduces the annual fee for farm vehicle plates to$l from $5. \The reduced registration fee? will automatically be reflected on applications for renewal that motorists receive in the mail,\ the Governor said. \Motorists who have any questions about the new fee schedule should contact their local Motor Vehicle Office for assistance.\ Society To Meet The Pulaski Historical Society will open the fall season wjth a meeting at the Snow Memorial Auditorium on Wednesday, September 18, at 7:30 p.m. Terry Rossman, a teacher at Mexico Central School, will show slides from his collection of scenes of old-time Pulaski taken by Ralph Killam, former professional photographer known to many Pulaski residents.
