While qrt the subject of basket ball, Brushton High School's fine record this year shows ^that the players and the coach have done a good job* Thejrdeserve the sup- port of the Village peojole as well as the students of the school. 1 wduld like*t6 suggesf'that the school authorities appoint some one as a reporter for school ^act- ivities to be published in this pa- per. Such news would surely be of interest to the tea'cljeis of the Facts. Mr. Walter Ziser, Publisher of the parjefi^tteHs^methatTie now has a circulation of nearly 500. More local riews would, I am sure, be appreciated' by Mr. Ziser.

The barn which was ap- proximately 30 x 40 feet in size contained about 25 tons of baled hay and a late model two ton Ford Truck. Mr. Martin rushed to the barn in an effort to save the truck but the >*fire had gained such headway that he was unable to get near the barn. The Brushton Fire Truck was unable to answer'the call as a new motor was being installed in it that afternoon, however the Moira Ipxe Dept. harf been < notified In advance that the Brushton truck Was being repaired. The Moira Fire Truck arrived at the fire shortly after the alarm was turned in but the fire, fam>ed by a strong wind had completely engulfed the barn so that there was no hope of saving it. ^The Malone Callmens Assoc- iation also answered the alarm tin* der the mutual aid program which is an agreement amoung the Fire companies of Franklin County that they will go to any fire out- side of their own district if they are summonsed by the Fire Chief from the district in which the fire is or some other responsible par- ty. ces and Objects of American His- tory and Our place in the U.

LaPoint Cause of Odor Mot Show—But a Guest STOBKS, Conn >r -l!he audience watching a movie in fhe Univer- sity of Connecticut's'Agricultural Auditorium might not have agreed on exactly how„good or bad the show was, hut all knew a distinct odor Was present. * Only th^ janjftor knew that an un- invited guest had slyly slipped into the auditorium. The janitor had found the yi^tor-^-a skunk—behind a radiator in the darkened hall. He couldrft get him out. All went well untji the heat was turned on. Tnen a strange smelt began to drift through the audi- torium. The janitor turne&ihe&eat down'and crossed his fingers. The skunk remained quietly behind the radiat6r throughout the show and must have etrjbyedIt. He~didn't use his strongest criticism. The audience might have been cold, but certainly not as uncom- fortable as* they might have been.
