TUBERCULOSIS MEETINGS 

Last winter, two meetings were planned for the town of Westerlo to follow up the testing done so far and give opportunity for the expression of local ideas. These meetings were postponed due to bad weather and are now being held as follows: April 8 — Westerlo, School house, 7:30 p.m. April 15 — South Westerlo, Church parlor, 7:30 p.m. 

The public is invited. Harry B. Winters, chairman of the County Tuberculosis committee will be present.

DELANSON 

Nathanial Hoag, who died last Thursday afternoon, was buried from his late home Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. Mr. Hoag was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hoag, who lived on the farm west of Quaker Street known as the Smith White farm. Mr. Hoag was seventy-eight years old. He leaves a wife to mourn his loss. They had been married fifty-five years. Two sons were born to them, Burton and Henry. Both died some years ago. Mr. Hoag met with an accident at the D. and H. Coal plant some years ago which caused him to have one limb amputated. Since then he had practically been confined to his home and yard. Galen White, undertaker, was in charge.

Bay View Club Notes 

Miss Rosa Van Pelt was hostess to the members of the Bay View club at her home on High street Tuesday evening. The program included a sketch of “Ralph Waldo Emerson,” a noted New England poet and essayist, by Franklin E. Vosburgh; Mrs. Stephen J. Daring presented a paper on “Alice and Phoebe Carey,” New England poets; and Miss Adelaide Bewsher gave several selected readings from the works of the Carey sisters. 

VILLAGE NOTES 

— Business is being brought to the Altamont Family Laundry by the fact that clothes are dried in the sunshine outdoors, giving them the pure air they need as a part of the cleansing and bleaching they receive, and also by the fact that clothes are separately washed. This new enterprise is run by Mrs. Carma Crocco. 

— The Altamont High school is closed today in observance of Good Friday. By vote of the pupils, the Easter vacation has been postponed to the first week in May. 

— Peter J. Ogsbury of Dunnsville spent Saturday and Sunday with his brother, John D. Osgood, and family. Mr. Ogsbury, who is a Civil war veteran, is now in his 82nd year. 

— Miss Josephine Cameron, director of Albany County Girl Scouts, inspected the Altamont troop on Monday, and reported the troop as excellent in appearance, patrol formation, and spirit. The troop is preparing for the annual field day at Washington park, May 16th. Lorena Shaffer, captain of the Junior Citizen troop of Albany, will be in Altamont on Friday afternoon to teach the Altamont troop a dance and game for Field day. The local troop will also dance the Maypole dance, being one of the three troops chosen for this dance. The girls are also practicing racing, hoop-rolling and signalling for the events.
