MISS HELEN KEENHOLTS DIED TUESDAY 

“The old must die and the young may die” was truly exemplified when the death messenger entered the home of Mrs. James Keenholts Tuesday afternoon and took the life of her younger daughter, Helen, aged 23 years, 11 months and 15 days. 

Miss Keenholts suffered a severe attack of influenza about a year ago which left her in a weakened condition, terminating in tuberculosis. All that loving hands and medical skill could do was of no avail. She passed away after an illness of five months. 

GOVERNOR VETOED REPEAL OF DAYLIGHT SAVING LAW 

On Thursday Governor Smith vetoed the Fowler measure to repeal the daylight saving law, and the hands of the clock, as far as cities are concerned, will remain where they were set last March under the law. The governor’s action came a few days after one of the liveliest hearings ever held in the executive chamber. The farmers are against the law and urged the governor to sign the repeal bill, while the cities favor the law and presented arguments why the governor should veto the Fowler bill. 

Now that the governor has settled the matter, the railroads are expected to issue time tables to conform with the New York state standard of time. 

REFORMED CHURCH GOES BACK TO OLD TIME 

The morning service in the Altamont Reformed church on Sunday, May 23, and thereafter until further notice, will begin at 10:30 o’clock, old time. Meetings have been held one hour earlier for the past month to conform to state time. In order to give all members of the church an opportunity to attend morning worship, especially the people living on farms and other places outside of the village, it has been decided to go back to standard time. 

Considerable dissatisfaction and delay in getting to church Sunday morning has been caused by changing the services one hour earlier. The consistory of the church have taken this course after due consideration and it is hoped the attendance hereafter will be greater because of it. 

LOCUST VALE. 

The community was saddened to hear of the death of Howard, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. George Smith. About a year ago, while attending the Albany High school, he contracted influenza, which developed into lung trouble, causing his death. Although only 17 years of age Howard was respected and loved by all who knew him intimately. He was a bright, industrious and active young man.
