Y., THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1943 NUMBER 22 NAnONALCDiTOWAl—I ASSOCIATION TALK OF THE TOWN Many friends of this column who haven't beeb up street in the last week or so have been asking how the snow removal campaign has been going regarding the condition in front of the Democrat office. Well the answer is no. Monday again the village trucks got as far north as our good friend Jim Finn but that was the end. Maybe the business section ends right next door and t..is is just a plaything. We wouldn't know. But if that snow isn't removed pretty soon we'll do something about it our- selves and it won't be with a type- writer or a snow shovel. And if anyone thinks we are making snow a mountain out of an icicle —but we remember only too well OUT recent flood in the basement. (Incidently the shell holes on Lan- phere Street are full of snow now and don't show.) George Hart is certainly hands full what with trying to keep with- in the budget and cut people off the lists and still keep every one happy. It looks as though it can't be done. However we still think that both the Board of iSupervisors and the Commissioner are doing a swell job trying to help the county with the ^budget balancing head- ache. A couple of weeks ago we men- tioned something in here about writing boys that you know are in the armed services of the Uni- ted States. Did you write the let- ters? Well there's no time like the present. If you want any ad- dresses we can get them for you just let us know. The following letter came in this week which shows how the boys appreciate a letter or a newspaper from home. \I am now back at Florida so you can -send the paper J.o me here now. I appreciate reading your paper very much and the home town news. Been in the army ten months and still in the good old U.S.A. Thanks again for sending the paper, I re- main, Corp. Frank Oaster.\ What with th# limitation on pleasure driving Lowville will surely have more than her share of the Lewis County shopping trade. It is a lot shorter into Low- ville from many points in the county than to several places that we could mention. Then there is the possibility and the coming ne- cessity of doubling up and riding into town with a full oar and not coming with two or three vacant seats. Snop in Lowville but be sure you take your neighbor. Whatever happened to the ef- forts of the local barbers to cut their hours to something resemb- ing a work week like 60 hours or so? Whenever everything else is closed up don't be surprised to find a .barber shop open. Around midnight or so. Some of the new subscribers this week are Leo Ross, Bertha >M. Draper, Charles Kazinski, and Ward B. Wicks. That turkey dinner the Presby- terians put on last night was cer- tainly a sellout and what food! My and all for seventy five cents. We do hope that they were able to raise a sizeable sum to help with the fire rehabilitation. If you are puzzled about the state fiscal year answer this ques- tion. Would installment paying help you on your income tax to the state. Regardless of politics and regardless of who created what surplus and what preceding deficit. The final answer is does it help you and you and you. A western paper ran a classified the other day as follows: WANTED—3 girls want dates for Saturday night. Leave your name at Sweet Shoppe. That will probably happen here if the men continue to leave in the quantities as the latest induction list. —J.O.B. CAGERS TO PLAY BOONVILLE FRIDAY Tine Lowville Academy basket- ball team, defeated only once this season, will meet a strong Boon- ville quintet tomorrow evening at the gymnasium.

The speaker went on to explain the various activities which attend the new egg receiving station which opened on 'Monday with re- ceipts totaling thirty-one cases of eggs. Each case contains thirty dozen. They are received and graded one day and- the farmer receives his money the next day. It is expected that enough farmers will use the station so that ap- proximately four hundred cases will be shipped to New York City every week. In the regular weekly drawing of War .Stamps, the following names were chosen before a win- ner was found to be present: Leon Davis, Arthur Mattson and Howard Holt. Dr. C. N. Laughlin was the eventual winner. Next week a motion picture en- titled \Twenty Trips to the Moon\ will be presented.
