The Internal Re^nue Ser- vice is in the Halloween spirit with a trick-or-treat for its own. The treat is $175,900 of tax refunds ior 452 individuals in Northeastern New York. The trick is that when these checks were mailed, they were tre- turned to the IRS as undeliver- able. The checks range in amount from $1 to $4,555. Samuel Germano, director's representative in the Massena IRS office, has released a list of those from Franklin County who are due refunds. They are: Linda Thomsen of Paul Smith's; John and Katherine Square of Bombay; May nard Pilling of Chateuagay, Freder- ick Mayer of Loon Lake; and Thomas Thurber and Debra Valentine of Saranac Lake. These people should call the IRS at (toll-free) 1-800-424- 1040, or write to the IRS, ATTN: C:TX, Clinton Avenue and North Pearl Street, Albany, N.Y. 12207. They should provide the name, address and Social Security number as it appeared on the tax return, the year involved and the current address. \Changes of address and incorrect or illegible addresses on tax returns are the most fre- quent causes of undelivered refunds,\ the IRS official said. \You can help prevent this by using the peel-off address labef that comes on your tax pack- age when you file the return.\ Anyone who's waiting for a federal tax refund and hasn't heard from the IRS since filing the return should also contact the IRS at the above number or address. •••••••** VOTE I Historians to Meet at Fort Museum Franklin County Village and Town Historians will meet Monday, Nov. 4,1985, at 7:30 p.m. in the Town Hall, in Ft. Covington. Following a decision to alternate meetings of the association in the northern and southern end of Frank- lin County, each historian will take turns in conducting a meeting in his or her com- munity. This will afford all historians a better oppor- tunity to become acquaint- ed with fellow historians and neighbors, as well as becom- ing more familiar with the whole of Franklin County, said County Historian Committee Chairman, Mrs. Mary Ann Tallon. Hostess for the Ft. Covington Fall meeting will be Mrs. Corleen Burditt, Ft. Covington Town Historian, who has arranged an inter- esting program for the even- ing. Townspeople, espe- cially, will enjoy seeing slides of early Ft. Covington and area, to be shown by Donald Benedict, member of the County Historian Conv mittee. Also on hand, with out-of- town guests in mind, will be Mrs. Patricia Musante, Co- Publisher and Editor of the Ft. Covington Sun, to pro- vide background informa- tion on the establishment and progress of Ft. Coving- ton's new museum. Mrs. Burditt urges all Franklin County Twon and Village Historians to come and bring a friend. Refreshments will be served, during a social hour, by Mrs. Elizabeth Mount. The public is cordially invited to attend. ••• ••••••••• U.F.O. in the Area? Last Wednesday, Oct. 23,1985, sometime between 10:00 and 10:30 p.m., Mrs. Amos (Kate) Arell, spotted an inexpli- cable object landing near her home. Mrs. Arell reports that she was sitting in her trailer on Salmon St., Fort Covington watching television when from the corner of her eye, she was distracted by an object out- side her window. \It appeared,\ she said, \to be a very large red ball of fire with some yellow on it. I went to the window to watch. I was stunned. It seemed to land across the railroad tracks, although the distance was hard to gauge. If it had landed closer, I would have been petrified and ran to my neighbor's house!* 1 Mrs. Arell called her husband who was at work in Bom- bay. Amos, they report, already knew the story. Report- edly, Mr. Wayne Hart, who works with him, went outside to watch the train. He also, according to the Arells, saw the red, firey ball. Did anyone else? 5280 x 20-§-2 feet = Harold Snyder In last week's Senior Citizen Walk-a-thon, Fort Coving- ton resident Harold Snyder walked 20 miles from Malone to Howard's Cron ers (5 miles S. of Moira).
