For those who wish to take the course to compete for one of the actual flight scholarships there is no fee except for the medical examina tion and- a sm a ll charge . for text books. Any others who may wish to take the course but are not eligible to compete for the flight training there is a fee of $10.

He is up and around the house now, w ithout even a black and blue m ark to show th a t several logs pass ed over his body and held him wedged until his father could move the logs and release his son. Mr. Dechow and Robert were load ing logs onto a rig on the Randolph- Little Valley road. They were get ting ready to bind the load of four teen maple logs, when they started to slip. Mr, Dechow shouted a w arning to Robert, but the young j m an was unable to get away in time. Col. A. Edward Krieger Honored at Testimonial Dinner Tuesday ^ 1 (Gontinued from ^ g e 1.) there have been fifty-six terms of court, and one in January of this year makes fifty-seven terms at which I have presided and in which the People have been represented by Edward Krieger as District A ttor ney. The first- case which I have on my m inutes in -which he appeared District Attorfiey was January 3rd, 1927. These fifty-seven terms, if placed together consecutively, would constitute several years of con tinuous court; but it is not only in the.trial terms that the D istrict At to rn e y appears before the C o u r t ' in crim inal m a tters, hut alsO' often at special terms held in the Judge’s . .... ........... Chambers at Salamanca and Clean | 'stroke\ in the argum ent of appeals and dis position of other m atters. If after all these years of association in court, he can still be on speaking terms with the Judge who presided at all of them, it shows considerable patjence and forbearance on the part of the District Attorney. Of course, there were times when the Court didn’t agree with his view point in a ease, and I am sure there were times when he didn’t agree with the Court’s viewpoint. In that event, he could resort to the two courses of procedure which an at torney has, viz., swear at the Court (out of its hearing) or appeal, or both. The District Attorney has con ducted the duties of his office in a diligent and efficient manner. The Pe^ople’s cases are not won in the court room so much as they are in the preparation and investigation, and especially a prompt investigation after the offense has been commit ted. The facts are usually more eas ily and more fully obtained if sought shortly after the offense than sev eral days later. Then, too, by being promptly on the job, many physical indications may be observed which later would be destroyed, such as automobile tracks, footpi'ints, or with the law enforcement officers, fingerprints. The District Attorney, has been diligent in this respect, in my estimation, in this county. The cases have been brought promptly to trial, which is another' im p ortant m a tter in obtaining convictions. The evidence has been presented in a fair and complete manner, and the interests of the people safeguarded. A fter convictions have been O 'b t a i n - ed, the District Attorney has not shown a vindictive spirit and has not urged his views as to what the pun ishment should be upon the Conrt, except in a few instances.

He has now been called into another field of service, that of a Colonel in the Regular* Army of the United States. We regret losing his services District Attorney, but know that he will render faithful service to the government as he has done in the past, which has brought him the promotions he has recei-ved. This is one of the many adjustments we who remain at-hom e will have to make on account of the war situation, as it exists at the present time. There are two dangers tO' the country. One is a possible foe from without; the other is the lack of morale from within. At this time I 'believe tffe citizens generally are called upon to rededicate themselves to the task of maintaining the principles of our government and the freedoms which it has guaranteed, and for -which many men and women in the past have paid the last full measure of devotion by offering up their lives. I think as citizens we ought to- de termine in our <ewn minds that m a tter what sacrifice is necessary in the present situation, or what powers and liberties we must give up temporarily, we will never con sent to give ^ up those liberties i>er- tanently and get into - that fram e of mind in which we shall say . th a t we don’t care, that it is not worth while after all, and it doesn’t mat ter what form of government we have. Such a “defeatism\ attitude would in a large measure contri bute to our downfall from within. ‘As neighbors, friends, public of ficials, members of the Legion, and citizens all, of a free Republic, yre have met here this evening to ex tend to you, our guest of honor,— whether you are greeted as “Ed\ “Edward”, “D istrict Attorney”, or “Colonel”,— our best wishes and Godspeed in this service to which you have been called.” Salamanca citizens are looking for ward to witnessing the most novel entertainm ent in som e ' y ears when the ;^t. -Bonaventure Glee Ulub makes its local appearance in the high school auditorium at 8 *o’clock next Sunday evening. The collegiate group of thirty singers will present a group of song-hits of 1908-10 which will give middle-aged folk an opportunity for pleasant remin iscence. In original arrangements of mus ic made by Fr. Claude Kean, O.F.M., director of the club, the thirty sing ers will revive such b-nce-popular balads as “Mandy Lane,” “Won’t You Come Over To My House,” “ Casey Jones,” “Pride of the P rai ries,” and “Come, Josephine, in My Plying Machine.” This group of songs will be pre sented in the traditional manner of a m iniature minstrel, with interlocu tor, end men, soloists, the “F o u r Horsemen” Quartet, and harmonized choruses. A special minstrel theme, written by Father Kean, will intro duce and close this portion Of the program. Another group of selections that will receive distinctive treatm ent ■will be four negro spirituals, including “Shadrack” and “W ere You There.” W ith A1 Verel as the colored “min iste r \ , and the chorus as his “ sheep”, these melodies will be surrounded with the atmosphere of an old south ern camp meeting. ■Other novel features on the pro gram will include an origitml full- length skit entitled “Amateur Hour’,’ piano impressions of Alex Tfemple- ton and other popular performers, and a pantomine of “American Por traits.” The entertainment, the first offei*- ed by the Glee Clulj here in eight years, is sponsored by the Holy Name Society of St. Patrick’s Church. Will of Millionaire Oil Operator Filed With Surrogate Hardly a month after a county court jury found him to be an in- competant person, death on \March 7 further complicated the million dol lar estate of James H. Brahaney, town of Allegany oil operator. Hi^ will, made September 2, 1937, was filed with Surrogate Har old K. Congdon on Wednesday morning, who authorized the pub lication of citations which are re- tm*nable April 18. Five separate trusts are created by the Brahaney will, each of them tc be in charge of three executors named, in the wi’l. Trustees and ex- v ecutors are Francis T. Brahaney, Abilene, Texas; Raymond R. Braha ney, Arcade, and Olive Brahaney, Strykersville. All are nieces and nephews of the decedant. Incom e from the first trust goes to George Brahaney, Olean R.P.D.; th e second to Francis T., the third to Raymond, the fourth to Olive and the fifth to Geraldine Brahaney, Strykers ville. The trust fund beneficiaries are also nieces and nephews. The will recites “it is my intent and desire that the executors and ^ trustees carry on as oil operators so long as their wisdom dictates”. From the order of County Judge Orla E. Black, appointing a s commit tee for Mr. Brahaney his nephew, George A„ of Olean, and niece, Olive of Strykersville, it appeared that the estate was in excess of one mil lion dollars. The order, made after a jury on February third had found the eccentric oil operator incom- petant, “found the estate so great that the court deems it inexpedient to require security in full as re quired by law\. Judge Black ordered th a t bonds aggregating $550,000 be deposited with the Marine Trust Co., Buffalo, and that the bank should not release them except hy order of the court?

He said the new order of the state commission will give far mers $2.20 during May, June and July. He thought they should receive not less than $2.60.
