Last Friday morning, De cember 12, he went out to put the chains on his automobile. Through some mischance, he suffered a fall, striking on his ribs on the left side. Whether the fall was a natural one from the slippery ground, or whether he suffered a heart attack at the be ginning is not clearly understood, but he continued to have these at tacks after he had been carried into the house until he died. He is survived by his wife, one opted daughter, Alice, and two brothers, David Harvey of Forest- ville, and William Harvey of Little Yalley, and many nieces and nephews as well as grand nieces and grand nephews.

The report of the Christmas bazaar and supper held the fourth of December was given. The pro ceeds, including the filling of addi tional orders, were estimated to be over fifty-two dollars, with between forty and f ifty dollars handed in. As it was found that it would be impossible to have the church fin ished in time for a Christmas pro gram, a committee of two was ap pointed to decide on some kind of a fitting Christmas program, as there had not been one prepared under the supervision of the Sunday school as customary. Mrs. Montie Good rich and Mrs. Kathryn Pritchard were chosen. It was suggested that, e^ecially in view pf the troubled conditions of the times, the commuiiity should gather at some Ideal point, the night | of Christmas Eve; and listen to the | Christmas message, with all sections I invited to attend. j It was decided to hold the next meeting Friday night, January 2, 1942, at the home of Mrs. Lottie Ford, South street.

O'n a prev ious card, she stated that there was great excitement in that city the day previous. Altho, this “section here at hom e,' might be included in the danger zone if air attacks should be made along the Great Lakes, espec ially at Niagara Falls and Buffalo, by an enemy, still it would seem to offer comparative safety, in com parison with a large town fifty miles from the Pacific coast in the neigh borhood of a great harbor.

Hot drinks and sandwiches will be served the carolers and drivers upon their return to the community tree. The death of Luman R. Dewey of Cattaraugus calles to the mind of several of the older East 'Otto peo ple, that Mr. Dewey’s first wife was Miss Minnie Runnals, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Runnals of East Otto. Mrs.' Belle Goodrich, her former schoolmate a t the East school- house, still possesses a lock of her hair. Nearly three-quarters of a cen tury ago, William Runnals owned and operated the large farm now owned by Mrs. Grace Sanderson in the Mason district. Early in the 1880’s, Mr. Runnals traded this^farm with M. W. Butterfield .for the lat ter’s Otto store and residence now occupied by Miss Florence Harvey, and moved to Otto where his son- in-law Fremont JC. Laing, assisted in conducting the store. At that time the Butterfield family moved to Ash ford for two years where Mr. But terfield also owned a store. Later, they came to 'East Otto and lived on their farm for a few years, before returning to Otto. Soon afterward Mr. Butterfield purchased the East Otto store from Warren and Leon ard, located on the comer.- Jon Half, Dorothy Lamour, Philp' Reed and Katherine DeMille take you on a romantic trip through a paradise of the tropics in “Aloma of the South Seas!” Playing at Andrews Theatre Sunday and Monday “Aloma of the 'South Seas” with an exciting splash of color, song and beauty opens Sunday and Monday at the Andrews Theatre. Co-starring Dorothy Lamour and Jon Hall in the 'P!ol 3 mesi'an, Technicolored ro mance, Paramount Pictures did an outstanding job of filming the flam ing multi-tints of tropical foliage, the blue Pacific with its golden beaches —^and the fire-spitting eruption of a sacred volcano. Against a background of native live and Tahitian pageantry, the two stars who scored a record-breaking hit four years ago in “The Hurri cane” are re-united in an adventur ous melodrama that makes tl^eir “Hurricane” look like a gentle breeze. For in thrills, there is noth ing to compare with their plight when. a monster volcano begins to belch steaming lava and winds up hurling most of the island into space. Dorothy Lamour as the exotic Aloma is more bewitching and at tractive than any advertise'ment that ever lured a tourist to visit the South Seas. Jon Hall plays the part of the island prince as if born a member of the island’s royalty. From the way in which Philip Reed does his stuff as the savage native heavy, no one would ever suspect him of being a Brooklyn boy who made good. Both Hall and Reed, chosen for their powerful physiques as well as for their dramatic ability, climax their feud over the beautiful Aloma with a savage fight that’s worth more than the price e f admission. Riotous comedy is supplied by Lynne Overman, playing the only white man on the island. Entrusted with Jon Hall’s American education, he brings the youth back to the lat ter’s ancestral island home after Hall receives a degree at Harvard. Over man, occupying the position of Roy al Bathtub Kibitzer, plunges into one of the most hilarious scenes of the picture, when two beautiful handmaidens proceed to sponge and otherwise attend their returned Prince in true native bath style. Katherine deMille, Fritz Leiber, Dona Drake, Esther Dale, Pedro de Cordoba and John Barclay round out the cast of leading players. Hun dreds of natives; dancing choruses of children and tribal maidens: strapping sword-whirling braves who dance to tom-toms at sacred tribal ceremonies make “Aloma of the South Seas” one of the most spec tacular films of 1941. We are sometimes told by readers of this news column who' live at a distance, that thfey look for th'e weekly arrival o f the paper as a mes sage from home. (Perhaps they ap preciate the importance of the local paper more than those living neai*- by). Also that they appreciate the printing of such items as will give them a glimpse of the real local col or, either past or present. ’ At this holiday season, we would/appreciate a line from all out-of-town readers, reminding former friends that they are still alive, and telling something of the conditions or outlook of the section or circumstances forming their present background, or recall ing treasured memories of the past. The East 'Otto correspondent will be glad to pass such messages on, to former friends and neighbors. They may be pleased to hear from you as you are from them. The present con ditions of war make everyone a lit tle more thoughtful, FRANKTOWN Mr. and Mrs. Purl Zeilman of Nunda called on Mr. and Mrs. Ar nold Goll recently. Funeral services were held Mon day afternoon for Charles Harvey, who passed away Friday morning at his late home here. Relatives from Gowanda, 'Collins, East 'Otto and Massachusetts attended.

Bathing Cats Many people have an idea it isn’t necessary to bathe a cat, that a cat will clean itself. This is true to a certain extent but they should be cleaned in other ways. Here are a few hints: Tabbies should be dry-cleaned with hot bran in prefer ence to a bath. The coat should be well brushed the right way. A soap bath is best for black cats—finish the job with a coat preparation to furnish gloss. A soap or bran bath is best for smokes and finish by brushing with ammonia and water. This will make the coat stand up mmmmmmmmmm While you are Christmas shopping, why not stop in at the Nut Shoppe for complete, courteous fountain service?
