FLAMES THREATEN , WEST HOOSICK HOME Prompt response by neighbors and the West Hoosick Fire Com- pany's chemical truck was all that saved the Burt Cox home at West Hoosick from almost certain de- struction, when flames, thought to have resulted from a defective chimney, ignited the roof of the dwelling about 6:30 o'clock Satur- day morning. Mrs. Cox and her four children, ranging in age from 8 to 16 years, were aroused from sleep by the blaze and ran bare- footed to the store of E. W. Bulson, who sent the alarm throughout the neighborhood. Frank Pine, whose home is near- by the Cox dwelling, was the first to arrive on the scene: and it was due to his effective work with his fire extinguisher that the fames were brought under control. West Hoosick residents have had the value of the chemical fre truck brought home to them in - half a dozen instances since they purchas- ed it some time ago. SHAW INSTALLS SHAW AS. MASONIC MASTER W V. Briggs Shaw, a past master of Van Rensselaer Lodge, No. 400, F and A. M., had the unique ex- perience of installing his son, Har- old W. Shaw as master of the Lodge at induction ceremonies which took place Tuesday night. It is the first time in the history of the Lodge that a father bas installed his son to the highest office in the organization. Other recently elected' officers of the Lodge were installed by R. W. Isamc A. Allen: They were: Senior Warden, Charles J. Maderer; Jun- for Warden, RB. Legos Hunt; fleas—4 urer, Arthur J. Hoffman; Secretary, Waiter H. Wmck Trustee for three years, Grant Smith.

WORCESTER HEALTH OFFICERS TO INSPECT HOOSICK DAIRIES Officials of the Board of Health of Worcester, Mass., are due in this section In the very near future on an inspection tour of dairy farms operated by members of Hoosick Local of the New England Milk Producers' Agsociation. As a con- siderable quantity of the milk pooled by the Hoosick dairymen is consumed by Worcester customers, it behooves the local producers to have their barns and equipment in first class condition, If there is a single case where the conditions are not 100 per cent. satisfactory, all Hoosick milk will be barred from Worcester.
