GRANGERS BY SHORT SHADOW SKIT TERMS: $1.50 a Year within 150 miles 12.00 a Year outside 150 miles Canada, $2.00 THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 1934 The regular meeting of t h e local Grange was held Monday evening, June 11th, in the Grange hall and was attended by twenty-seven members. Var- ious business matters were dis- cussed and the lecturer's hour proved entertaining. A shadow skit, ''Before and After Marriage\ was presented by two young people. The an- ecdote portrayed the unusul marital differences which occur following the honeymoon in di- rect contrast to their courtship days. The skit was staged be- hind a sheet and only the shad- ows of the two actors were visi- ble. Rev. V. C. Nichols very ably interpreted the meaning of each scene and performed the mock marriage ceremony and Miss Harriet Dupree played the accompanying musical numbers on the piano. It was decided to extend an j invitation to the W e s t v i 11 e —Mr. Allen Doria has gone to Burlington, Vermont for the sum- mer months. —Regents examinations are be [ Grange to put on the literary ing conducted this week at Fort program at a meeting in the Covington High. ; near future.

DUNDEE CAST DISBANDS AFTER SUCCESSFUL RUN WOMAN KNOWN HERE * COMMITS SUICIDE ^Hie cast of \Here Comes dharlie,\ composed of young people of the Zion United church of Dundee, disbanded last week following their eighth success- ful presentation of the play. The comedy was first staged in Dundee and was received so en- thusiasUcly that it was taken to seven other towns in this North- ern section of Canada and the United States and on each occa- sion was received with equal favor. Of the net proceeds which am- ounted to around $125.00, one hundred dollars was donated to the church and $25.00 was used by the cast and a few associates in an outing to Lake Meacham and a dinner and movies in Ma- lone. Mrs. Mary Gardner w h o so capably directed the play and looked after the business affairs was presented a beautiful leath- er hand-bag by the cast. It is believed here that Miss Agnes Desmond of New York who left Fort Covington last week Wednesday after a several months stay due to a nervous break-down, committed suicide at Niagara Falls Friday by jum- ping over the American cataract According to a daily newspap- er report, Miss Desmond left a signed note in a taxi at Niagara Falls indicating that she would seek death in the Niagara. A woman was later reported to have been seen there by tourists to leap from a bridge into the rapids above the falls and was swept to her death.

Says the village board in substance, \Sometime ago the village purchased a plot for these purposes at the old McNair Mill grounds. The riv- ers are becoming more shal- low each year and are fast fill- ing up with junk.

ASSEMBLY PROGRAM DELIGHTS STUDENTS On Wednesday, June 13, dur- ing the regular weekly assembly program, the pupils of Fort Cov- ingtcn High School were enter- tained by the reading of four of the senior essays and some musical numbers. The first number presented by the boys' sextet was \Who's That a' Callin'.\ Then Grace Wilson read her essay on \Albert King of the Belgians.\ In this she outlmed for us the life of one of the best- love j rulers in the world from his birth in 1875 to his tragic death on February 17,1934. After this first essay, the boy's sextet sang two numbers, \Southern Memories\ and \The Arkansas Traveler.\ Cora Latreille's essay on \A Century of Progress\ came next on the progam. This contained a very clear description of last year's Century of Progress and listed the new features which will be included in the 1934 Fair. Then Francis Hence read his essay on \Crime Prevention\ He traced crime through i t s causes and effects and gave par- ticular attention to the remedies •for this great social evil. The next number consisted of two trumpet solos, \Believe Me^ If All those Endearing Young^ Charms\ and \Wave the Flags,\ by Rita Richer. The concluding essay, deliver- ed by Evelyn Chatland, was en- titled \Superstition.\ This was ahistory of superstition through the ages from th£ time of the ancient Greeks and Romans to and including the present day, for, we were told, superstition is by no means a thing of the past All the essay% were interest^ ing and instructive. The musi- cal numbers were very much enjoyed also. Barbara McCabe George W. McKenna has the,enhancing beauty of the rivers with their background of tall stately trees lining the banks been entirely ruined in summers past\. So much for the authorities mandate but by it, they bring to a sudden s t op, a practice which is as old as the name. Fort Covington itself, and prob-* ably originated when the mile square was known as French Mills. The sudden stop brings dissension from many, but time heals all these little contentious divisions and the reward wiU be brighter, cleaner, more beauti- ful rivers and a more healthful and sanitary village. What to do a b o u t garbage disposal does not seem to be worrying the villap^e officials for they are now planning a system of periodical collections when a truck will carry away all t h e wastes—if residents will furnish their own covered sanitary gar- bage cans. That tl>is will prove a notable improvement over the old order of affairs will doubt- less be manifest when the new system becomes once adopted and it is of no small wonder, that the Village with a populat- ion of near 1,000 souls did not LOCAL INTEREST —Mr. Joseph Parent visited his mother, Mrs. Parent, of Orms- town, Quebec Sunday. —Miss Ruth Brockway and Miss Blanche Cardinal of the Potsdam hospital staff, Potsdam, N.Y. visited Miss Brockway's father, Mr. John Brockway, and sister, Mrs. A, J.
