AN APPEAL FROM ALBANY 

CO. TUBERCULOSIS CAMP
An appeal has come from Dr. Lawson, the medical director of the Albany County Tuberculosis committee, for books and Victrola records to be sent to the camp on the Country club road. Any one having recent fiction and records which they are willing to donate will kindly leave them at the Altamont Free library. The committee in charge will see that they are sent where they are sure to be appreciated.

Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Woodworth report eating green beans from their garden last week. Most unusual for this time of year. 

VILLAGE NOTES. 

— Altamont is to have another added pleasure for its young folks, that of basket ball. Keenholts’ hall has been engaged by the Altamont team and regular games will be played. It is hoped that they will be well patronized in order that the boys may be able to cover the expenses that will naturally arise. Twenty-five cents will be charged spectators at each game. A great game is promised for this Saturday evening. Give the boys a great start by being present, as they play the Middleburghs, who are a strong team.

— The attraction at the movie show Saturday evening will be “Mrs. Leffingwell’s Boots,” with Constance Talmade. This is a side-splitting comedy with every-day situations, and makes your sides sore from laughter. A news reel will also be projected. 

Child Swallowed Strychnine Tablets 

and Death Resulted 

Clayton Ogsbury, three-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl W. Ogsbury of 4 Lexington avenue, died Tuesday night several hours after he had swallowed eight strychnine tablets at his home,  believing them to be candy. He took the tablets, which had been prescribed as a tonic for his aunt, from an envelope on a bureau. When Mrs. Ogsbury learned of her son’s mistake, she summoned Dr. Charles E. Stott of 430 Clinton avenue, but all efforts to aid the boy were futile. Coroner John E. Mullen, who directed Dr. Anthony E. Pitts to make an examination, declared death due to accidental poisoning.

SLINGERLANDS RED
CROSS ROLL CALL. 

The Fourth Roll Call of the American Red Cross is called for Nov. 14 and the week following, and will begin in Slingerlands as elsewhere, in the church, where Dr. Rickard will speak of its right to be now in the time of peace as well as in the time of war. 

On Monday morning and the days following the memberships of one dollar may be subscribed at the post office where some member of our local branch will be in attendance. 

In New York State, workrooms, which enabled the volunteer women workers of the state to make such a wonderful record during the war, are again humming with activity, the workers flocking back to help convert old clothing into war garments for the 11,000,000 fatherless children of Central Europe and the needy children of America. In this state alone women have produced more than 8,000 layettes for the mothers of the disease- and famine-swept areas of the Old World, where for a long time newly born babies have been wrapped in newspapers. ​
