yor Ix © £000 WERS RECORD ‘Turnsk In a Card of 67 for 18 For the Course-Previsus Record 68 In Joseph Burns the Hoosick Falls Country Club has a potential Bobby Jones golfer, for Joe pranc- ed around the course Sunday after- noon clipping one stroke frofn the record for the nine holes and one stroke from 'the lowest official score for eighteen holes. The fhat was performed while Mr,. Burns was playing in a three-some with Rdward - Delaney - and - Clayton Shaw, Jr., and the jubilation about the club house when the three golf- <img Mousquetiers turned in Joe's card must have echoed over the @ hills to Jack Parr at the Mount . Anthony Club .in Bennington. Some 7 years ago, William Cahill, Jr., formerly of Hoosick Falls, now living in - Albany, establish &A regord for the local course w & 88 out and a 35 in, for a total of 68 for the 18 holes, Four years ago, along came P. J. Ryan, the old man of the mountains who knows personally every blade of grass in the 5,840 yards of the course, to duplicate Cahill's feat with a 68, turning in a pair of 34's. So-0-0, as Ed Wynn says, Messrs. Cahill and Ryan shared the course honors un- til Mr; Burns took off last Sunday. Par for the nine holes is 36 and for the 18, a 72, so that even the initiate realize that Joe set a mark for the ather boys to shoot at and write home about. After a Heavy Rain Mr. Burns' unusual feat was per- formed after the heavy rain that fell Sunday afternoon. As a ,con- sequence there were no lucky rolls and the player had to shoot straight for the pin. Joe turned in a 35 on the way out and cut that fgure down to a 32 coming home. In the process he garnered eight \birdleg\-in other words, he holed out on eight holes one stroke below par. In coming home Mr. Burns dub- \_ bed a two-foot putt on the eighth \ 'green; the ball went on a bee-line or the bole but struck, a , tough, blade of grass a half an inch away and stayed there. That's the story sworn to by Messrs. Delaney and Shaw. Had the latter pair con- ceded Joe the putt he would have had a 31 for the niné holes. Any- way, the new recora will undoubt- edly stand for some time, so Joe should worry about one measley stroke.

Alle, substituting for Police Jus- tice Scott durfng-tfie latter's vica-| tion, handed out a rather stiff sen- tence to a local offender Tuegday. Walter Robinson of Lyman St., annals of the police register, was arrested by Special Officer Chas. Walton on a charge of public in- toxication; and while he was being arraigned, Dr. Volney Chapman ap- peared to report that Robinson had stolen several electric light bulbs from the Chapman office. Inasmuch as Robinson was al- ready under the shadow of a forty days' suspended sentence, pro- noun Allen felt he should take some ac- tion of a drastic nature. Conse- quently he raised the ante to ninety days, and Robinson was taken to the county jail in Troy. PETITIONS DESIG- NATING PARKER IN CIRCULATION Little Likelihood of His Being Opposed for Republican Nomi- nation-Democrats Talk of Dr. Arthur J. Leonard Designating petitions to place the name of Congressman James S. Parker of Salem on the Republican primary ballot to succeed himself were placed in circulation through- out the 28th Congressional District last week. The petitions name as committee on vacancies William D. Thomas of this village; Mrs. Hat- tie Bookmiller of Troy; Frederick W. Kavanaugh, Waterford; Mrs. Eva Jewell, Gansevoort; Carl W. Vetter, Chestertown; Miss Beatrice H. Gombs, Glens Falls; Herbert VanKirk, Greenwich, and Mrs. Lena M. 8. Brgwn, Granville. As far as ig known, there is no likelihood of any opposition to Mr. Parker for the Republican nomin- ation; and in this district, which includes a portion of Rensselaer County and all of Washington, Saratoga and Warren counties, a pomination of the Salemy, man is lent to election. There has been talk that Demo- crats would make an extra effort to elect their candidate in the dis- trict, opposing Mr, Parker on ac- count of his dry record. Late re- ports are that Dr,. Arthur J. Leon- ard of Saratoga Springs, Demo- cratic chieftain in Saratoga Coun- ty, is being urged to make the fight this fall against Congressman Parker. Leonard is a close per- sonal friend and supporter of for- mer Governor Alfred E. Smith and if he accepts the party nomination it is expected that he will campaign as a wet against Parker. Mr. Parker has always voted with the dry contingent in congress, but in a recent public statement he sub- seribed to the Republican party platform pledging support to a plan to resubmit the prohibition ques- tion to a vote of the people.

NoTHINGTO DOWITH OBTAININGRIGRTOF WAYSAYSRICHARDS Washington County Highway Official Declares Failure to Get Parcels of Land for Eagle Bridge- Buskirk Route Due to Map Changes Confronted with published accu- sations that he was directly re- sponsible for the long delay in the proposed plans to reconstruct the Eagle Bridge-Buskirk highway the \Gate Way to the Hoosick Valley\- because he had failed to obtain certain rights of way, Or- son C. Richards, Washington coun- ty superintendent of highways, denied flatly this week that he had anything to do with that phase of highway projects. Mr. Richards pointed out that the obtaining of rights of way is the duty of the highway committed of the Washington county super- visors. He further explained that the delay in obtaining the ten parcels of land needeu, was due to the maps being changed by the state highway bureau several times. That bureau, however, has claimed frequently that it is all set to go ahead with the reconstruction of the road, as soon as the proper authorities obtain the Jacking rights of way, ~ ' The Washington county highway committee which is composed of Supervisors Jay S. Vaughn of Fort Edward, E. D. Adams of Whitehall and Louis J. Coulter of Jackson were notified some time ago by the state highway department to dis- continue the obtaining of rights of way for all reconstruction in that county due to the lack of funds, it is reported, and only recently has the committee been authorized to again proceed with the work.

Escorted by State Troopers on motorcycles and headed by the president of the Troy Kiwanians, Robert J. Lemmon, the motor cav- alcade arrived at the preserve shortly before 3 o'clock, just in. time for the visitors to get a glimpse of the water lilies before the gorgeous plants called it a day and closed for the .night. After Mr. Ehmler had given a short talk about the different varieties of ° lilies and methods of propagation the kids were turned loose and the - place became theirs until about 6 o'clock when, tired . but happy, they were piled back into the auto- mobiles and returned to Troy. *The elks staged a gréat show for the youthful sight-seers; the bison put on their most ferocious looks- so did the alligators; the er family held a couple of 'first class stampedes around their corral; the bears-Tony and Pete, who were the center of attraction-perform- ed their funniest stunts; and, at the height of the excitement a baby badger came into the world, but the children didn't know that. The only animals that didn't enter into the spirit of the afternoon were the beaver family who swam plac- idly about their business of build- ing a house of sticks,. Some of the children were a bit disappointed because there were no monkeys, lions, tigers and \elemphunts\ to look at, but the majority were pret- ty well contented with what they did see.

First came gallons upon gallons of cool fresh milk, accompanied by regi- ments of ham and cheese sand- wiches, and then 3800 \hot-dogs\ disappeared as if by magic and Miss Ehmler was compelled to make a quick trip to Burke's mar- ket and get 100 more. These first three courses were provided by Mr. and Mrs. Ehmler and the kids cer- tainly did full justice to the gen- erosity of their hosts. The desert,. supplied by the Troy Kiwanis Club. consisted of ice cream and cookies. 4 Afterwards, those children who were able to navigate, played games and- roamed the woods. With much difficulty the kids were 'finally assembled and while they rested Harold W. Turner, well known Troy attorney, gave a neat little talk on citizenship; President Lemmon spoke a few words of ap- preciation to the hosts of the day, and Mr. Ehmler replied in kind, [whilo photographers took pictures everything and everybody. With a final cheer and farewell the youngsters were bundled into automobiles and the joyous caval- o[ rade was on its way, making a tour of Hoosick Falls before returning tm Troy It was a perfect day, a perfect party and not a tear or an rsccident marred the entire affair.
