Old Ladies’ Home Is In Need of Vegetables 

An appeal is made to residents of Altamont and vicinity for donations of winter vegetables including potatoes, carrots, beets, turnips, onions, and of pears and apples, for the Old Ladies Home, also known as the Albany Guardian Society at 553 Clinton avenue, Albany. The Home is a real home for a number of old ladies, who find it a haven of rest and comfort in their declining years. It is maintained through the efforts of a board of managers of which Mrs. Archibald McClure is honorary president and Mrs. Chauncey P. Williams, her daughter, is acting president. Gifts of vegetables and of apples or late pears will be most acceptable and may be taken or sent direct to the home.

NEW SALEM, SOUTH END 

The Friday evening dances held in Red Men’s hall are very pleasant affairs and much enjoyed by old and young. Many who would like to attend them do not do so, since there seems to be a very prevalent pandemic of stealing. When it gets so that persons cannot leave their cars outside while they spend the evening in a hall or someone’s home without the fear that thieves are stripping it of everything they can get their hands on, one would rather stay home. The people in general think it is time something was done to protect the property of people who attend meetings of either business or pleasure in New Salem or any other place. Mind it is not always strangers who do the dirty work.
