BERNE 

Some of the roads are almost impassable at this writing. A gang of voluntary workers opened them up from the Switzkill school house to the state road on Saturday last so as to avoid further trouble this spring unless we get another heavy fall of snow.

Rev. Bennett preached Sunday morning a very forceful sermon on these six words: “What do you more than others.” He told in very plain language what he thought about dancing and card playing.

VILLAGE NOTES 

The wind storm of Sunday night did considerable damage to property in Altamont. Dr. A. I. Cullen’s radio antennae were dashed to the ground by the breaking off of six feet from the top of one of the sixty-foot poles. A storm door was smashed and a large pear tree was broken down on the Cullen property. Other residents reported windows being blown in and tops of chimneys torn off.

DELMAR 

The clam chowder sale by the Ladies’ Aid society of the Delmar Reformed church was such a success that another one will be held shortly. This will give those whose appetites were ready for chowder but who reached the church too late an opportunity to indulge in the luxury. Seventy-five quarts was not enough.

MARIAVILLE 

There is “nothin doin” anywhere this winter, everybody stays right by their own radio side and listens in.
