FELLOWCRAFT CLUB TO GIVE
HALLOWE’EN DANCE 

The Fellowcraft club of Noah Lodge NO. 754, F. and A. M., invites the public to attend a Hallowe’en frolic and masquerade at the Masonic hall, Altamont, on Friday evening, Oct. 30th. While it is urged that all enter into the spirit of the occasion by wearing costumes or masks, yet all will be welcomed whether masked or not. The unmasking will take place at 10 o’clock. There will be dancing from 9 to 1, and for those who do not care to dance, cards will be furnished, the lodge room being opened for this purpose. Prizes will be given for the best costumes, and the program will include many specialties. Refreshments will be served. Admission for the Hallowe’en frolic will be $1.00 per couple and extra lady, 25 cents. 

POTATO CLUB MEETS 

WITH KIWANIANS 

Twenty-seven country boys have been raising certified seed potatoes this summer, and twelve of them were present at the Achievement Day or closing exercises for the project which was held at the Ten Eyck hotel, Tuesday, October 20. The boys who entered this potato growing contest under the auspices of the Farm Bureau and the Kiwanis club of Albany presented a fine appearance as the guests of the club and the potatoes which they exhibited at the same time in the ballroom were said by experts to be some of the best that have been grown this season. Several boys told the Kiwanians after dinner their story of how they raised their potatoes, and cash prizes and special prizes were given to the boys according to the following list.
First prize, $5.00 William Carl, Voorheesville, also special prize for best exhibit. Second prize, $4.00 Milton J. Hiltsley, Knox, also special prize for high yield. Third prize, $3.00 Franklin Garrison, Voorheesville, also special prize for best record. Fourth prize, $1.00 Frank Wood, Knox, fifth prize, $1.00 Aaron Merrit, Voorheesville. 

Other boys who attended the luncheon were: Joseph Haluska, East Berne;  George Rosbrook, Slingerlands; Leland Bryant, Slingerlands; Robert B. Uszner, Watervliet; John Armstrong, Altamont; James Wells, Cohoes; John Dennis, Loudonville; Al Birchwale, New Scotland. 

The favorable impression made by Junior Project work as manifested at this meeting resulted in a movement to place this work on a permanent basis in Albany County and an effort to secure a full-time Junior Project leader to work in cooperation with the Farm Bureau office. 

Five Day School of 

Religious Education

The Sunday schools of Altamont and vicinity are to unite in a five-day school of Religious Education to be held afternoons and evenings from October 26-30. The school is designed to give Sunday School teachers and officers and other interested persons an opportunity for special training in Sunday school work.

The first two sessions will be held at the Lutheran Church; the sessions on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday will be held in the Reformed church. Books and assignment sheets for any of the courses can be obtained at a nominal cost at Vroman’s news room.

At an organization meeting held at the Lutheran Church last Monday evening, a large number of interested persons were present, and the courses promise to be exceedingly helpful. It is not too late to begin. Full announcements will be given at all of the participating churches on Sunday morning, and it is hoped that many more persons will procure books before Monday.
