Thieves recently entered Raymond Vadney’s store and made away with over $200 worth of goods. 

 

SLINGERLANDS 

On Wednesday night of last week, at about 9:30 o’clock, Mrs. Frank Fugleur of Utica was injured slightly when an automobile driven by William Liberoni, who said his home was in Albany, crashed with another car on the New Scotland road near the Slingerlands public school grounds. One car was driven by Mrs. Fugleur’s husband. Mrs. Fugleur was thrown from the car. The cars smashed sidewise, ripping off fenders and running boards. State troopers directed traffic until the automobiles had been taken away. During their patrol the state troopers arrested one car owner for driving without lights. 

 

ANNUAL DINNER OF THE 

PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION 

It has come and gone. What? The annual meeting and dinner of the Guilderland Mutual Protective association, held at Hotel Altamont on Tuesday evening. About sixty members enjoyed one of Julius Voss’ chicken dinners prepared especially for the occasion. 

Lieutenant Moore of the state police made an excellent address on the work of the state constabulary, speaking of the added duties that are being placed in their hands, of the limited force which have to do this work, of the great highway service they render, and their work of policing the rural communities. 

There are now on the highways of the state a million and a quarter automobiles. If each one carried three occupants there would be over 3,750,000 folks on wheels. With 11,000 miles of good roads one can see what a Saturday and Sunday traffic would be. In 1921 the deaths resulting from auto accidents numbered 1,981.
The state police have succeeded in breaking up many bands or gangs of thieves in different parts of the state. The ridding of one section of the state of many tramps reduced the barn fires 40 per cent. 

District Attorney Timothy Roland urged his hearers to watch for any signs of radicalism, Bolshevism or congregation of Reds in this state. It had been learned that they had meeting places in country districts.
