They were prepared and our roads were kept in excellent shape. A check with the State Police, Wyoming, Erie and Cattaraugus Sheriff Departments showed no personal injury auto accidents and only the usual fender benders. The snow mobile fraternity must have done then preparing early also. Every field had its sets of tracks, and lights bouncing up and down and doing odd gyrations appeared on botli suies of the roads. Deer hunters wore broad grins for the snow would mean good tracking conditions.

What's ta Problem! We are printing below a letter received by Hayden O. Rosier, Town Clerk of Arcade, from the Dog Licensing Bureau in Albany, and our only comment is that we all have our problems: \This is in reply to your letter of November 13 relative to the delivery of the 1970 dog tags. \Our order for the 1970 dog tags specified delivery by October 1 The Division of industries at Sing Sing Prison, however, was unable to meet this deadline due to labor problems. The latest word that we have received indicates that all tags will be shipped this week with the exception of those for the villages in Westchester County \We are very sorry for any inconvenience the delay in delivery may cause you \P.S. Late word from Sing Sing indicates that tags were shipped by Parcel Post on 11/13/69\ Open Letter Of Reply To Delevan Teenagers \This letter is to the two \Concerned\ teenagers of Delevan, whoever you may be \We the \sc-called leaders\ read your article in the Tri-County Times. You've got the situation all wrong!\ We don't know if you came to the meetings we held concerning the recreation hall, but if you did you must not have paid any attention because we talked about the responsibility of havmg a recreation hall and came to the conclusion that chaperones are necessary and the rules must be followed \As for misbehavior, we did not say there would be any \bouncing\, but that this would be held against you when and if we do get a permanent recreation hall. \Yes! Why dont we grow up and stop writing letters through the paper' Instead, come to the old fire hall, where we are now meeting (with chaperones) to show the townspeople we do have responsibility and are really interested in a recreation hall, and express your feelings to the kids who meet there. We will be more than happy to discuss any problems from anyone who is now meeting there \ (Signed) The So-called \Leaders\ By Harold O.
