BLAZE RAZES THREE BARNS Fire late Saturday . night .com pletely demolished three barns and their contents on the farm of God frey Fleischman, a mile south of Atlanta. Three head of cattle, two horses and fifty chickens were destroyed in the blaze, as well as farm tools and hay and grain stored in the barns. The blaze was discovered about 10 p. m., after Mr. Fleischman and his family had retired. It had made such headway that no fire company was called. The loss, es- timated '• at $ 6 , 000 , was partially covered by insurance. i TAKE PRECAUTIONS FOR WINTER DRIVING INDIAN SUMMER N. H. S. PUPILS FOR GIVES WAY TO SNOW ALL-STATE MUSICAL EVENT The commissioner of motor ve hicles has recommended to New •York State motorists a pre-winter inspection of exhaust systems, carburetion and ignition of their automobiles as a precautionary measure against • deadly carbon monoxide gas. It has been estimated, on the basis of surveys, that at least five per cent, of the cars on the road contain a dangerous concentration of carbon monoxide gas. Your car may be one of these. Now is the time to discover any mechani cal faults and have them correct ed. Defective parts, sheer careless ness or a combination of both are responsible for the annual tolL tak en by the insidious gas in automo biles. Carbon monoxide is generated in large vblumes when fuel com bustion in your car is incomplete or inefficient, and unless the ex haust system of your car is in good condition, fumes are certain to seep into the car. ' The following preventative pro cedure is recommended: 1 — Keep ignition, \ carburetion and other motor adjustments inci dental to combustion in good run ning condition so that production of carbon monoxide will be reduo ed to a minimum. More economi cal operation will also repay you< for your trouble. • 2 — Inspect now and at intervals hereafter the entire exhaust sys tem and the body o f your car, and correct at once 'any possible sources of leakage. Look for breaks in the exhaust line, split seams in the muffler, blown gaskets and loose connections. Loose or broken floor boards and defective floor coverings are also a hazard. 3— Avoid running the engine when you are seated in a parked car, particularly when the car is in a. garage. 4— When riding, always have the window nearest the driver at least partly open, and on long trips, get out at intervals of a few hours for a breath of fresh air. Colorless, odorless and tasteless, presence of the gas may be detect ed only by one or more of the fol lowing symptoms: Dizziness, head ache, weakness, nausea, smarting eyes, drowsiness and palpitation of the heart, followed by eventual, collapse. Recognizing any of these ‘symptoms, get into the fresh air at once. Even a relatively small amount of carbon monoxide, when,inhaled over a period of tgge, impairs driv ing ability and retards the opera tor’s reactions, usually without the driver becoming aware of the fact. This probably explains mrny mys terious motor vehicle accidents-foi which there is no accounting alont other lines of reasoning, but which 1 are not charged to that cause. Our delightful autumn weather, or Indian summer, came to \a sud den halt the first of this week. On Monday morning Naples people looked out upon white hills, white roofs and white trees and shrubs. The air was full of snow, present ing the appearance of a blizzard. Erl A. Bates, of the State Col lege of Agriculture, writes o f Indi an summer as follows: “ Although meteorologists ex plain Indian surryner as a stag nated high pressure area, the In dian explains this warm period of the fall by a legend which runs something like this: “ After a summer of growing season, -the wide-awake Indian farmer starts harvesting as soon as his crops are ripe, but, as with all people, some Indian farmers put off today’s job until tomorrow. While the busy ones work, the lazy farmer says to himself, ’It is still a long time until cold weather comes.’ “ Then the Great Spirit sends Jack Frost to stir up the lazy bones. Lazy-bones prays to the Great Spirit to give him another chance. And then the Great Spirit sends what the paleface calls In dian summer— but the Red Man calls it ‘Lazy farmer’s second chance’.” Strange as it may seem, the fel lows who find difficulty in holding any sort of a job always know just how the government should be run. Six members of Naples High School music organizations have been selected to participate in the all-state band and chorus festival to be held in Ithaca on December 1, 2 and 3. Representing the band will be Mary Louise Jerome, clarinet, and Leona Lindsey, bassoon. Those chosen for the chorus are Tracy Baxter, tenor; Ruth Otto, alto; George Sanderson, bass; Bradley Clawson, baritone. About 250 pupils will be select ed from the high schools of the state to form the all-state groups who will be directed by nationally known musicians. POLMANTEER-FRIEDMAN In Camillus, N. Y., at two o’clock on Monday afternoon, No vember 14, 1938, Miss Rita Fried man, of Rochester, and Mr. Arthur G. Polmanteer, of Naples, were united in marriage. Mr. and Mrs. Polmanteer' arrived home yester day afternoon, and are receiving the congratulations of their friends. Mr. Polmanteer is the proprietor of the Orange Inn, in this village, and his bride has been employed at the Inn for some time. “ In de case ob er good many men,” remarked Uncle Ephe, “ de lung power am no indication ob de brain power.” BY JOSEPH Business Government prosecution- of com binations in alleged restraint of trade was known as “trust-busting\ in the days of President Benjamin Harrison. In 1890 the Sherman anti trust law began hacking at financial octopi in what was shown to be a legitimate campaign to keep Ameri can industry from killing itself by mushroomed growth. Modern trust-busting Is an out growth of the New Deal. Its in tended victim is not the monopo listic trust of bygone d^ys, but usu ally a group of powerful corpora tions which dominate an industry. But though the 1938 model trust buster can be credited with success (17 victories, 12 cases still pending, out of 42 filed since March 4, 1933) he might also be charged with mak ing political capital of his job. Thus it has been hinted that So- ‘licitor General Robert H. Jackson, once an assistant attorney general, joined the anti-trust crusade last , year largely in the hope of winning New York’s Democratic gubernato rial nomination. If politics was the inspiration for some anti-trust suits. 1 these same suits have now become such hot potatoes that 3 vanished ! political purpose does not justify the ’ justice department’s dropping them. One possible example may be the ' trust case against the Aluminum Company of America, j To date this year-old investiga- 1 tion has failed to uncover much ex- 1 e’ept a re-hash of testimony and evi- j dence from the 1935 federal trade commission’s probe, and a private litigation of a decade ago from which the company emerged with a clean bill of health. Today’s anti-trust division of the justice department has 90 lawyers compared with 15 in 1933, handling W. La BINE ol congress. Trust-ousting boss Is •Tfiurman Arnold, whose fetish is in vestigating the price policies of in dustry. Says Mr Arfiold: “We are being forced to take control of in flexible price structures and coer cions in restraint of trade today just as in 1933 we were forced to take control of the financing and market ing of securities.\ Much Interest now centers In the justice department's newly inaugu rated suit against Delaware's Co lumbia Gas 81 Electric corporation for allegedly “conspiring to monopo lize” the natural gas industry ot Kentucky, Ohio. West Virginia and 1 Michigan. But in accordance with his probe of price policies, Thur man Arnold is probably more inter ested in \oil. Since crude oil prices recently plummeted in the wake ot alleged over-production by refiner ies, both the President and Mr. Ar nold favor a- program for state con tr61 over oil production ancT refin ing. 1 Harking back to the trust-busting I days when Standard Oil’s case first made the U. S. monopoly-conscious, the new probe will examine every phase of the oil industry from pro duction to marketing. Though oil men will welcome an intelligent gov ernment program to stabilize crude ' oil prices, observers fail to see great ' consistency between this program to raise prices, .and other monopoly quizzes which prosecute men for allegedly raising prices. Religion After 31 months of strife, four months of which cost 1,317 lives and left 1,150 wounded, Palestine's “holy war” is still not ended. The British-mandated territory has been Arabic for centuries but was set aside as a homeland for Jews fol lowing the World war. only to arouse Moslem fears that Hebrews would soon dominate the land. Using ter rorism as their weapon, Arabs have attempted to force an immediate settlement on slow-moving Great Britain, but London has just an nounced its refusal to make an im mediate decision. Great Britain proposes to call a conference of Jew ish and Arab leaders whose com promise agreement would wash Great Britain’s hanc!s of all respon sibility for the Holy Land. This would be fine except that Arabs re fuse to arbitrate in this fashion, which leaves Palestine's problem, still a hopeless muddle.

R., held its November meeting last Saturday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Clara K. Watkins, with Mrs. John C. Morgan as assistant host ess. The Chapter decided to delay placing the historical marker of “ The Naples Tree” until spring, when we hope to have an appro priate ceremony. Time and exact spot are to be determined later. Our regent, Mrs. H. W. DeLong, was able to attend the group meet ing recently -held in Rochester, and gave a very good report of that meeting. Mrs. Oscar A. Warren read an excellent paper on “ Early Settlers of Ontario County,” which had been written by Mrs. Gordon Ches ter. The hostesses served very nice refreshments.— Secretary. Frank Carey, 43, of Avoca, was fatally injured last Friday night when he drove his automobile in to the rear of a parked convoy truck near Kanona. The truck had been parked sp that the driver could go to the aid of another mo torist whose car was on fire.

Such turn-outs are provided for the benefit of sight seeing tourists in the West and the large number of highway lookout points in the lake country make this area admirably suited for such a development in this state. Town officials of the town of Addison started a new policy last week. Where men are able to work, they are given jobs on the town roads in lieu of relief checks which they heretofore received without work. They will be paid the amount equal to their relief checks in money each week and will be paid at a prevailing rate of pay for the work done and will work the hours equal to the amount they ordinarily receive from relief.— Wayland Register. Mrs. Minnie Strachan recently found some one’s wedding ring around a gladiolus stalk in -her garden, the'' stalk having grown up through the ring. The ring must have been lost some 1 time ago, as Mrs.~ Strachan has lived the^ fif teen years and she has no knowl edge of the loss. ! An unusual sight in the village last week was the delivery to the ( Red Jacket Telephone .Company of 231 telephone poles on one 1 truck. The poles, from 20 to 30 feet in length, required a special truck body built to carry them. They were cut from timber at Es sex, on the shore of Lake Cham plain, and are straight as the proverbial die. It is estimated that they will endure' the elements for better than 20 years after being set in the ground.— Shortsville En terprise.
