CONSOLIDATION WINS, 

HIGH SCHOOL SOON 

Tuesday evening, March 14, 1922, will go down in history in the town of Duanesburgh as the date of the most important event that has transpired there in many years, because it means so much not only to the present but to the future. 

The combining of the three school districts, Nos. 4, 9, and 18, with the idea in mind of a high school that will take care of students that finish the grades and are now forced to go to some neighboring village, by train, at considerable expense and inconvenience, to finish out the necessary studies if they wish to complete their education, was put to a vote of the citizens and carried unanimously.

NEW SALEM 

Mrs. James Hallenbeck, a lifelong resident of this place, died at her home here on Sunday evening, March 12th. She had been ill for a long time and her suffering was very great but borne patiently. She often remarked she would soon be in heaven. She was a kind neighbor, always willing to help when needed. She will be greatly missed in the home and in church work. She leaves her husband, three brothers, John, Hiram and Simon Winne, two sisters, Mrs. Sarah Martin and Mrs. Omer Wright, and several nieces and nephews. 

VILLAGE NOTES

— The management of the moving pictures at Masonic hall has received notice that no child under 16 can be admitted to the exhibition unless accompanied by parent or guardian. 

— Arthur Zimmer, son of Edgar Zimmer, residing on state road to Warner’s Lake, sustained serious injuries to one of his hands Wednesday, resulting from being struck, with an axe while at work on the highway near his home. It appears that father and son were engaged cutting ice on the roadway when the son stepped near his father and was struck on the hand. A deep gash was cut, severing several arteries and cords. He was taken to Dr. A. I. Cullen’s office at Altamont for first aid and later sent to the Albany City hospital where he was given medical aid and an operation was performed. 

— The Board of Education of the Altamont High school announces that Miss Estelle Douglas of Davenport, N. Y. has been secured as instructor of the seventh and eighth grades for the year 1922-1923, in place of Miss Grace Boyd who will take up another line of school work next year. Miss Davenport has had five years experience, three of which have been spent at Milford. She has been highly recommended to the Board of Education.
