TICONPgROGA SENTINEL. TH1 KiHDAV DECEMBER 26,1940 PAGE XMAS EVE—Season's greetings to :you all. Schroon Lake has had a ^glorious and happy holiday with ev- -«ry one cooperating to give the oth- *cr person a happy Xmas. A true Xmas spirit. The continuous celebration started last Thursday night with an excel- lent Xmas program at the school. \The cast, of the opera, was grade stu- dents except the adult parts taken by Lucille Murdoek and Frank Moyn- Jnaa. The entire program was very -well done, and the climax of the e- -vening was a community sing led by Ulr. Livingston in front of the school. The school looks lovely with tne beautiful lighted decorations. In fact, even in Glens Falls we were better than ever before, climaxed of giving. there Is & Union CnffsGraB Eve service at St. Andrews £ church, with the Rev, James of the Federated church giving the sermon. There will be a celebration of at Our Lady of that \Schroon Lake should proud of its Xmas decorations?\ be Friday the students had a mury time with each grade having its tree and gifts, while the high school had a party in the gym. The members of the faculty treated each studfr.t to ia Xmas ice cream box. School starts January 2, Thursday, at 9 a. m. On Saturday the American Legion Auxiliary's sixth annual Xmas tree, sponsored by the Unit and the entire -community, was a huge success. There were 240 children and adults present at the school gym to see Santa Claus (Mrs. Rose Jordon). Ev- «ry one who worked for this party felt it was well worth while for the -children DID have a grand time. Mrs. Clara Richardson put extra gifts for her welfare children on the tree, so that these children received <juite a number of presents as the needy children were remembered -with a great deal more than the oth- ers. Orchids to the women who knitted 30 pairs of beautiful mittens, and to all those who collected clothes, mended same and also to the chil- -«dren who gave their toys and books Xo other children. Louise Hargreaves made popcorn balls for the crowd. This popcorn was donated by the Ma- :guires, and popped by one of the Home Malting classes. Mrs. Belle Lourdes church. Dick Lyons was host at a Xmas party given at his home Saturday night. Guests were Marjorie Jane Ochs, Edith Allen, Lena Gochie, Bet- ty Burnell, Bett Vanderwalker, James Haley, Art Joe Richardson, Garfleld Harris, Thomas Warner, Charles Cole and Rhea Haley. A buffet supper was served by Dick's mother, Mrs. R. F. Lyons. Mrs. Matilda A. Taylor, 84, wife of Charles F. Taylor, died at 7 a. m. Monday at her home. Besides her husband, she is survived by one daughter, Miss Ethel Taylor, Schroon Lake; two brothers, Henry Bohr- mann, Schroon Lake, and William Bohrman, Wehawken, N. J., One sis- ter, Miss Lucy Bohrman, Schroon Lake and several nieces and ne- phews. The funeral services will be held Thursday morning at the Con- gregational church. Mrs. Taylor was one of Schroon Lake's best known and very much beloved citizens. She and her husband owned Taylors-on- Schroon, now known as Schroon Man- Home for the holidays are:—Tink Shurland, John Swan and Dorothy Clark, students at Cornell: Clara Swan and John Hargreaves, students at a business college and the N. Y. School of Dramatic Arts. Bob Har- greaves, student at Yale. Dr. Orel Friedman, taking a course at a Phil- adelphia hospital. Charles Tyrrell and Bud Noxon, students at Utica. Bill Williford, studying to be a male nurse at a Philadelphia hospital, and Ralph Rolsette at Ithaca College, is staying part of the holidays at Brick- wedell's and part of the time with the Suhrlands. Williford helped no end by \calling\ the games and making the announce- ments. The sons and daughters of -veterans, with Mrs. Isabelle Roach -were hostesses; while Mrs. Cora Ven- ner was chairman of the party. Now -we realize how much work Mrs. Le- ona Huntley has done each year. \Those who assisted with money to snake this a real community party -were: the Legion and Auxiliary, Mrs. Hedwige Caldwell, Mr. C. J. Mou- aaw, Mrs. Anna Cornell, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Williford, Mr. and Mrs. Milton Stockvis, Edward Kelly, J. J.

M. Jenks, Bill Burke, and Mr. and Mrs. Ray Haley. We know that others would have donat <ed if they had been solicited. Sunday the Federated Churches nad a Christmas service that was most impressive. The senior choir wore the new choir gowns. Last night the annual Christmas program was given with Mrs. O. P. Leavitt as chairman, at the Metho- dist church. The recitations by the little tots are always delightful. The entire program was very well done and when we consider that Mrs. Leavitt has to squeeze in rehearsals between all the events her work is astonishing. Gifts were distributed The toys sent annually by Mr. Jo- seph Frieber were wrapped by Grace Rosenberg, Magda Cornell, Ruth Rob- inson, Marjorie Jane Ochs and yours truly, and put on the Methodist church tree. We know these lovely toys made many children very hap- py. Mr. Frieber also sends money annually for fruit baskets (this year made at Waddell's store) to add to Xmas cheer. And the Elks baskets, bigger and j Auto Tags Foi: 19431 Carry. Na Advertiseme n t s Jangle Over World's Fair Line On Hates Produced Many Official Head- aches Past Two Years Motorists of New York state pur- chasing 1941 license plates will find them for the first time without ad- vertising. The plates have the yelHw background with black numerals th* same as in 1939. At the bottom will be N. Y. '41, a change from the pnst three years when a line was carried about the New York World's Fair. For the last two years the motor vehicle commission was caught in the middle between a liberal-minded leg- islature that wanted to do everything possible to advertise the fair in New York and a small but loud group of motorists who vigorously protested carrying the advertising. The motor vehicle department, of course, had nothing to do with putting the leg- end on the plates but hundreds blam- ed them. Martin McBohin, White Plains, an ex-sergeant of Marines, led the fight against the advertising a few days af- ter the plates were issued. McBohin was the first of line of headaches for the depa Anti-Nazi groups did not want to ad vertise the fair because Germany was taking part; ministers protested a- gainst promoting a project that \would desecrate the Sabbath\: fu- neral directors said that it \would be frivolous advertising a fair at a fu- neral\; Negro groups protested be- cause they claimed Negroes had been discriminated against by the fair.

Burnell.u They drove to with the department. One Batavia woman said she would advertise the fair if she could also use the plates to announce her beauty parlor prices; a religious sect asked that Bible vers- es be printed on the plates. The courts didn't help the situa- tion much either. A Westchester Judge fined a man $5 for painting over the offending line; a Hornell judge dismissed the case against a man accused of covering up the line on the ground it violated his consti- tutional rights. The Appellate Courts never got a chance to rule on the case since no one ever carried the case that far. The most vociferous objectors were :roups who claimed the fair er ( took people out of church on Sunday and attracted them to Flushing Mea- dows. • Resort and travel groups, promot- ing motor travel, thought the ad was a good thing. So did Grover Whalen and the fair corporation. They point- ed out Maine had used the word \Va- i v Dec. was here calling on relatives Sunday afternoon. Nearly every one from here were at Crown Point village Friday even- ing to attend the school Christmas entertainment held at the Central school building. The community Christmas tree was well attended and the children all did very well their parts. The tree was given and put in place by Ed- gar Spaulding and was trimmed by Mrs. Edgar Spaulding and Mrs. Ar- , thur Betts. Dr. W. B. Gage took the 1J™? gifts from the tree, irtment. Tne Christmas exercises here at the church Sunday afternoon were a treat for those who were present. The main speaker was Elder Wright of Salt Lake City, Utah, who had for his subject \The Life of the Saviour.\ There were several read- ings and talks and selections of Christmas music. Elder Crawford Gates of Plattsburg made the closing prayer. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Sprague and two daughters and son have returned to their home at Chatham. The Mutual Improvement meeting will be omitted Dec. 25 and Jan. 1, also the Sunday afternoon service will be omitted Dec. 29, as the Elders are to assist in a special New Year's Sun- day service at Malone. Cynthia Brooks came from Mid- dletown Friday night to spend the holiday vacation here at her home. | The funeral of George Miner was! held at his home Saturday afternoon with burial beside his first wife at j the White Church cemetery.

Ah, the Can You Imagine column scooped us on Jim Chew-./s big or- der of a six foot tree. Last Thursday night most of Jim Cheney s emplcyees dropped in to see the tree. They had a birthday party that aiterooon for Jim and celebrated the end of the curreent season's work as the Xmas rush was over, for this year, but this tree was more than they could resist. It really was the most beautiful of Jim's creations. The tree, with four small trees, and 36 sprays of stars, were ordered by Mrs. Allen Sheldon of Detroit for her buffet (the ceiling of the room is 17 feet high). Jimmy Dorsey was scheduled to play for the party. Sorry the rest of the news must wait until next week—AH.

Friends When Pleasure- Bent Outside Dominion To You.*. whose confidence and support for over fifty years have meant so much to our business in 1940 we express grateful appreciation. May We Walt If on A HAPPY NEW YEAR which will last through a year of Health and Prosperity. A. B. DRAKE TICONDEROGA, N. Y. After January 1 no residents of Canada will be allowed to leave the Dominion without a permit, it was announced from Ottawa, seat of the Canadian government machinery. The new regulation is designed, it was said, to safeguard foreign exchange but to also serve, if necessary, as a safeguard against able-bodied men leaving the country. Non-residents of Canada, visiting temporarily, are in no way affected. Permits for pleasure travel will be granted after January 1, but only when all expenses are paid by friends in the United States as a gift and not as a loan. Furthermore, proof that expenses are being paid must be furnished in advance before the travel permit is issued. Such travellers will not be allow- ed one cent of money to pay railroad fare to reach their friends. Money for the fare must be sent with the invitation, and the full purpose of the trip must be disclosed. Another new regulation which in sists on Canadians being paid for services to non-residents only in Unit- ed States dollars is aimed directly at the \black\ dollar market in the United States. No Canadian after July 1, 1941, can legally accept pay- ment in Canadian dollars from non- residents other than tourists. The regulation also is pointed at profes- sional fees, an important source of foreign exchange income. The \black\ market in New York allows a higher discount for Canadian dollars than the foreign exchange board does. The market deals largely in fugitive Ca- nadian dollars, and any blow at the (market makes it more difficult to • smuggle money out of Canada.

The practice of crediting dividends from the day of deposit will be dis- continued as of January 1, 1941. Starting on that date, dividends will be computed on a Semi-Annual basis instead of on the Quarterly basis of recent years. Deposits made on or before the 10th busi- ness days of January and July will be credited with dividends from the 1st. De- posits made on or before the 3rd business days of all other months will be credited with dividends from the 1st of such months. Regarding Dividend Rates Due to the constantly declining trend in income on investments legal for Savings Banks, and to the com- paratively limited number and relative scarcity of such prime investments, the Trustees of these Mutual Savings Banks feel that future dividends should reflect the lower income return currently obtainable, and that this may necessitate a lower dividend rate July 1, the date of the next semi-annual dividend. Depositors therefore should not expect a rate in excess of at that time.
