THE D. & H. WILL NOT
CANCEL TRAINS 

At a hearing before the Public Service commission on Tuesday, residents of Altamont, Voorheesville, Delmar, Slingerlands and Elsmere appeared to protest against the withdrawal by the Delaware and Hudson of one morning and one afternoon local train between Albany and Altamont. The railroad company had given notice of its intention to discontinue these trains when the new schedules go into effect Sunday, April 16th, and the hearing was held as a result of petitions circulated among the residents of the villages mentioned. The hearing was adjourned to Saturday morning, May 2nd, at 9:30, at which time representatives of the villages will present their side of the matter, after which the commission will render a decision as soon as possible. Pending a decision by the commission, the D. & H. will continue to operate the trains in question. 

Aged Farmer of New Salem 

Lost Since Sunday 

Jacob Hallenbeck, farmer of New Salem, has been missing from his home since last Sunday afternoon. He is 80 years of age. Parties of his neighbors have searched the hills above the village and telephone calls in all directions have failed to reveal any clue as to where he has wandered or whether he has been injured or met with death in some unknown manner. A radius of four miles has been gone over very thoroughly without finding any trace of the missing man. 

Mr. Hallenbeck is widely known and has lived near New Salem all his life. He sold his farm last spring and lives with his wife in a cottage about two miles from the village. 

ALTAMONT IS CONSIDERING
ADOPTING NEW TIME
A canvass is being made this week of the business men and organizations of Altamont, to ascertain the general feeling on the subject of adopting daylight saving time for Altamont. The nearby cities of Albany, Schenectady, Troy, Watervliet and Cohoes, with many other cities of the state, will turn their clocks one hour ahead on Sunday, April 26th. 

Quite a number of the business men of Altamont have expressed themselves in favor of the adoption of the new time. Several are satisfied either way, and still others feel that as Altamont has considerable dealings with farmers, the “old time” schedule will work better. The faculty of the High school, and also the Board of Education, are reported to be in favor of running the school on new time. 

The Enterprise would like to ascertain the wishes and general feeling of the community on the subject, and would welcome correspondence from those most affected by the proposed change in time. 

VILLAGE NOTES 

E. S. Witbeck, who with his family lives on the old Jacob H. Relyea farm, near the foot of the Indian Ladder road, has erected a wayside refreshment stand on his property, and announces that he will open it for business about May 1st. Mr. Witbeck will have on sale the regular line of refreshments, including ice cream, soft drinks and candy, and will also sell vegetables and fruit in season. The Standard Oil company has installed a gasoline tank and pump near the stand, and this service will be appreciated by motorists, as it will be the only filling station between Altamont and Voorheesville.
