QUAKER STREET 

— We were told, but too late to get the particulars, that a lady in the village had her pocket book stolen from the Schaffer store. The story is that she laid it down and a stranger picked it up. He was later arrested and the pocket book was found on his person. 

—  Easter Sunday the Episocpal church in Delanson was open for the first service. All who were present were pleased with the beautiful little church. The building and the services are open to all, and all will be welcome. 

LOCAL TRAIN SERVICE
TO BE CURTAILED 

The Delaware and Hudson railroad proposes to curtail the local train service between Altamont and Albany to one train crew, thereby eliminating one train each way. 

The result will be that persons who are required to arrive in Albany before 8 o’clock will have to find other means of transportation, move to the city, or give up their positions, while those who are required to stay later than 5:25 will be compelled to wait until 12:30 a.m. before they can get a train for home. 

If the proposed program is permitted to be carried out, it will mean a great depreciation in real estate values, and also that our citizens will be put to much unnecessary expense and inconvenience, with loss of time and money, to say nothing of the loss in population which would result. 

WESTERLO 

Miss Myrtle Kendall entertained a few of her girl friends at her home with a birthday party on Saturday evening, it being her 9th birthday. The decorations were very pretty and consisted of streamers of crepe paper festooned from the electric lights to the places at the table. Easter bunnies were the favors. Games were played and music enjoyed. At six o’clock the guests were ushered into the dining room, where covers were laid for six, and there served with refreshments.
