The Altamont Enterprise — Thursday, October 27,1983 Local Art Is History Topic The Town of New Scotland Historical Association will meet Tuesday, Nov. 1 at B p.m. in the museum room of the old school- house in New Salem. Mildred Zimmermann will pre- sent a slide lecture of Albany area art from 1683 to 1983, featuring early patroon painters and artists today. Following the program refresh- ments will be served. The meeting is open to the public. Scout Troop 73 The first scoutmaster of the Voorheesville troop, started May 12,1920, was Paul Morrison, Box 8, Voorheesville, married, age 25, Methodist Episcopal minister. The first few meetings were held in the old hall over the horse sheds behind the Methodist Church. Wednesday, Oct. 19,1983, Lanny Parsons officially became scout- master at a parent's night pot luck supper in the modern hall behind the Methodist Church. Before 80 well-fed scouts, par- ents, and friends Scoutmaster jack Rasmussen passed on the royal, purple poncho, symbol of absolute authority, to Lanny. Committee Chairman Tom Roe gave Lanny the battered black coffeepot on a stick and Mr. C. presented him with a map leading nowhere but showing some of the dubious triumphs of the past. Bill Morrison was the planner and emcee of the affair. Past Scoutmaster Jack Rasmus- sen was presented with a hand- made plaque thanking him for a job well done and signed by the committee and scouts. All remem- bered that it was Jack who had the courage to step in and lead the troop when the formidable leader, Bill Morrison, retired. Jack was an excellent leader with good ideas, fun to go camping with. He now becomes a committee member with all the rights and privileges thereof. The pot luck suppers are usually held outdoors earlier in the fall with the Legion Hall to go to if it rains. Time got away from us this year. We would like to thank Rev. Hibbert and his congregation for the use of the church hall. For the next few months regular troop meetings will be held in the elementary school, same time, Wednesdays, 7 to 9 p.m. Visitors and prospective scouts are wel- come.

Senior Citizen News By BILL VAN HOESEN Thanks to Martha Navilia and Margaret Molitor, a gaily decor- ated table in Halloween decor greeted the seniors at our last meeting. I don't believe anyone had given a thought to Halloween, so it was a complete surprise. Cider and nuggets, coffee and cake, the latter covered with genuine whipped cream. Barbara Williams and Alberta Nisselbeck provided the goodies. We appreci- ated the treat. Lois gave a short-report on the trip to Leonard's at Great Neck, L.I. Evidently the travelers enjoy- ed the outing. The 50-50 drawing was won by Barbara Williams. For two meet- ings in a row Barbara had predicted she would hold the winning tickets. She did. We have two drawings per meeting and this time Barbara won both. Fantastic. She refused to accept the prize of the second drawing so a third drawing was held with Mable Frisbee being the lucky winner. Our pantry accumulation of three weeks is scheduled to go to 17 St. Matthew's Church of Voorhees- ville. It was noted that a bit of work was accomplished at the last craft meeting. Paul Klevanosky washed the windows and did a wholesale vacuuming job of the entire premises. Margaret Molitor scrub- bed the kitchen range and oven until they shone like new. Neither of these items will be disposed of, if and when the kitchen is moved. A preliminary look through the keyhole of the proposed kitchen is not promising. Any move must allow for more working space, not less. Our speaker for the evening was Bruce Bouchard of the Capital Rep, the Capital District's only professional Equity resident the- atre. I do believe he will receive a good response from our group of seniors, many of whom appreciate fine performances as offered by Capital Rep. Our next meeting is scheduled for Nov. 2, starting with a covered dish dinner at 5 p.m. All are requested to bring their own place setting. There is more news but. . . this could be the last senior citizen news depending on whether the stirring up of muddy waters in the organization continues or not. Life is too precious to waste on petty bickering.
