Cowles (Parson; observes his 80th birthday today, and these added years have served as dividends for the benefit of many people confined to nursing and rest homes in the Westfield area as well as to his wide circle of friends. Serving as part-time visiting pastor, this retired minister has made friends with about 265 patients in three nursing homes, Mountain View Nursing home in Montgomery and Valley View and Westfield Nursing homes, both in Westfield, and with the residents of the Barnard Rest home and the Home for the Blind in Westfield. : His visits include folks of all oat Parson’ Cowles Active faiths and the leaflets he distributes include material for members of the Catholic, Jewish and Protestant faiths along with his particular brand of collected humorous anecdotes. In addition to distributing two leaflets each friends in the month homes, to he his has given out nearly 300 ‘‘Bedside prayer cards’? and many copies of Robert Burdette’s, ‘‘Two Golden Days.” The leaflets are composed by ‘Parson’ Cowles and printed voluntarily by Mrs. Donald Newton of Russellville Road. Included are poems and articles of general interest contributed by members of his nursing home congregation. Salary ‘‘Nominal’’ Because Dr. Cowles’ salary under Western the sponsorship Hampden of Council the of Churches is nominal, and due to the expenses of many materials which he _ distributes, the Friendly Visitors of Westfield and the Russell Community Church have surprised him with generous checks during the present year. The Friendly Visitors is a volunteer organization of about 25 residents of the Westfield area who work with Parson Cowles. The group was formed.l0 years ago and ‘‘adopted’’ the’ Western Hampden Council of Churches as sponsors. Mrs. Esther Coye is chairman of the Visitors, and Mrs. Maida Bartlett is treasurer.

Dr. Cowles reports that the large number of Bibles given to him by the defunct Pioneer Valley Council of religious Education Week-Day led by Miss Dorothy Swain, have been deeply appreciated by the folks in the homes where he visits. Among those who have assisted ‘‘Parson’’ are the Bell Ringers of the Southampton Congregational Church, directed by Miriam Howland, and the “Eiezema Quartet’? from church. The quartet was the so named because it was ‘‘liable to break out at any time.”’ The ‘‘Parson’s’’ duties at the Home. for the Blind include reading to the residents, and his recommendation for _ the best method of exercising social action is to ‘‘do it in a personal way.” The Friendly Visitors of Westfield are planning to hold a training class session for those who are now members and for others who may be interested in joining this ‘‘labor of love,” as Mrs. Esther Coye calls it. These classes Robert will be led by Holcomb of Chaplain Western DR. EDWARD U. COWLES 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 12 and 19 at the Methodist Church in Westfield.

He is a member of the church and a faithful member of the senior choir. His active pastorates excluded six years in Spencer, more than 28 years at the First Church in Westfield from September of 1929 through December of 1957, six years in Worthington, two years as assistant minister of the Easthampton Congregational Church, and five years in his present position. Dr. Cowles and his Alabama-born wife, the former Nina Lyman, moved from Easthampton in 1971 to their Southwick Road address in Westfield, but the keep in touch with friends in Southampton through the church. ‘Parson’ Cowles’ work in the nursing homes brings him into contact with patients who have no relatives and few friends. “There are many lotely people in institutions,’ he said, ‘‘who have need of and appreciation for visits from friends who care about them.’’ This need is one he is happy to fulfill, and his birthday comes at a time when he is actively engaged worthwhile work. in this �_ Jean Humphrey School Presents Annual Recital BY THELMA P.

The contingency money, part of the manufacturers’ race incentive plan was awarded to those registered drivers placing in the top three positions in any Stock or Modified Classes and having more than five entries. A large crowd was on hand both Saturday. and. Sunday. to witness the final U.S.S.A.sanctioned race on the east coast. While most spectators attended the race by car or truck, and at least one daring youth braved Sunday’s ice witha trail. bike, many _hilltowners found it convenient to simply ride their own machines to the track. The Worthington Bowl, home of the Eastern Snowmobile Championships, more closely resembed the proverbial ‘‘cup,”’ as it veritahlv ranneth over with mud and However, slush on Saturday. those spectators who braved the boot-saturating slush, periodic snow flurries, high winds, and falling temperatures, were treated to an afternoon of exciting snowmobile racing, that included stiff competition in 10 separate race classes, without a single spill.

No Junior Class II decision final women’s event on Saturday, the Women’s Modified I finals, themselves sinking in the slush. In fact, the north turn on the onehalf mile flat oval, was actually bisected by a steadily flowing drainage ditch.

Vinny Orlando from Prospect, Conn. and Perry Comeau of Adams placed second and third. Modified Sleds Work crews scraped clear the mounting slush and widened the track before the much more powerful Modified I and II class sleds snarled to the starting line. The Mod I and II sleds, valued to $2,000 dollars and are capable of speeds in excess of 90 mph on large one mile tracks. With competition relatively wide open, both Mod I and II classes had to be broke down into six initial heats, semi-finals and finals, to accommodate the large number of entries. Arctic Cat driver, Ken Young of Skaneateles, N.Y., driver of the year in 1970 and current winner of the Mod I final at the World Championships in Ironwood,* Sprang to an eariy lead, and fended off all challenges with a menacing, slushy rooster-tail, to win Men’s Mod.

As Modified Class II, the final class of the day, took to the track, a flock of geese passed low overhead perhaps mistaking the track area for some rain-swollen river, but quickly flaired at the sound of the first crackling engine.

Veterans, Ken Young of Skaneateles, N.Y. and Cal Reynolds of Gorham, Maine, took second and third place, respectively. At sunset the Worthington hills were again quiet. Those racers fortunate enough to claim trophies and prize money, spoke of lucky adjustments and good starts. However, for the drivers whose efforts earned them only a slushy shower, Sunday’s race card was the last real chance of the season. Drivers stood in amazement Sunday morning, on an excellent prepared track, that only hours before had been a ribbon of muddy slush. A dedicated track crew operating bulldozers, graders, scrapers and leveling equipment, Sunday worked morning until 3 a.m. and were out again at 6 a.m., pulverizing the Worthington half-mile flat oval into prime condition for Sunday’s racing events.

BILLIEL WORTHINGTON — There is lots of sugar and spice in the Cornelius Sharron household on Buffington Hill Road. There is also lots of washing, ironing and hair-brushing. But most of all, there is lots of togetherness. The Sharrons have seven children, all daughters. Ranging from Helen Theresa, who is 12, to 2%-month-old Pamela, the Sharron girls represent a picturbook collection of braids, ribbons and happy smiles. The Sharrons admit they had hoped for a son somewhere along the way. “We were running out of girls names,’ Mrs. Sharron said, laughing. Now content with the size of their family, the Sharrons will wait for their girls ‘‘to bring sons home.”’ Having seven children makes for a busy mother and housewife. But Mrs. Sharron, who feels a woman belongs in the home, goes about it with an unusual flair. Somehow she manages to keep up the family’s 13-room house, maintain a garden for canning and freezing purposes and still find time to sit with her daughters after school to discuss the da ee y’ s activities. In fact, that is her most favorite time of day. Mrs. Sharron has found that a family of all daughters has its advantages, despite the 21hours required daily to keep up with the washing, ironing, and folding of clothes. A feeling of togetherness prevails in the Sharron household that very likely might not exist in a family of boys and girls. The Sharron children have pretty much the same interests. They enjoy working, reading and playing together, with older ones assisting the younger with their homework. Picnics, family swims and gardening are activities shared by the whole family. As in most large families, the girls are expected to lend a - « ”. 2 helping hand around the house — and do so cheerfully. In addition to cleaning their own rooms, the girls take turns serving as “hostess for the day’’ — setting the table and serving the meal. While one girl may be hostess on a given day, another is responsible for neatly putting away coats and boots. Still other daughters are in charge of putting away folded clothes, wiping dishes or taking the garbage out. By working together and taking part in the household chores, the girls learn to respect and care for a home and for each other. A lack of sons does not deter Mr. Sharron from pursuing. his interests and sharing them with his children. Supervising principal of Center School in Dalton, he finds time to play ball with his girls and to take them fishing. Besides youngest, the the eldest Sharron and children are: Romona, 9; Melissa, 8; Ann Marie, 6; Catherine Frances, 5; and Margaret Eva, 2. Mrs. Sharron, who spends 40 minutes each morning brushing her daughters’ hair, feels the family is rich in a way beyond materialism. “We have lots of love and respect for each other,’ she observes. With that, who needs sugar and spice? �8 - Daily Hampshire Gazette, Northampton, Mass., Mon., Feb. 14, 1972 Worthington Play School Provides Playmates, Learning Opportunity | must often the homes are often far from the nearest neighbor. In the town of Worthington, which contains more than 33 square miles of countryside, a band of rugged mothers have pooled their resources, talent and concern to create the Worthingtori Play School.

The previous spring the group had purchased easels and obtained two oblong tables and 30 chairs for their use. In December, under the directorship of Margo Paddock, a bazaar was conducted and a $500 profit was realized, which, Mrs. Whitmarsh noted, gave the group the opportunity to become well-established.

Citizens also heard a tentative planning board proposal for 3acre, 300-foot frontage re- for dwelling quirements construction and voted to raise and appropriate some $304,400. Assessors estimate this budget figure would mean a decrease of $3 per $1,000 valuation in the tax rate. Worthington voters approved a $3,500 grant to the financially endangered Worthington Health Association (WHA), reviving a petition which had been tabled at a special Town Meeting in the fall. The article requires that the board of health and the selectmen oversee the use of the funds, which will be appropriated from revenue sharirig monies.

Richard Flagg of the finance committee said that there was ‘‘more regional involved: ‘‘somehow are economics.” He said that the difference in requests roughly reflected the popin the ulation differences he the school committee and the local finance committees, and he recommended that voters seek school committee members who. pay for their use of the building and also contribute $1 per patient visit to the health center.

Douglas Small, who was first called to the Worthington Congregational Church in January 1972, has resigned the post, effective on Nov. 30. Mr. Small was recently promoted at the Old Stone Mill, where he works in Adams, and explained to the church cabinet last week, that the new position will require ad- ditional responsibility and considerable traveling. He asked that he be relieved of his church duties as soon as possible. Small resigned from the pastorate in the spring of 1977. A pastoral search committee was formed, and after being unable to obtain a pastor who they felt suitable for the church and within financial reach of the congregation, they recalled Mr. Small on a part-time basis. The pastoral search committee has now been instructed to consider whether to seek a seminarian, a retired minister or to share a pastor with another town. n, (U4, WORTHINGTON — At the Sunday morning service at the First Congregational Church, Meredith Ann Riley was baptized by the Rev.

They all focus on the week of City, N.J. Sept..2 — the Miss American pageant in Atlantic Visiting at the home of her parents, Jean and G. William Pumphrey of Old Post Road, the 19-year-old, Miss Humphrey found a few quiet moments yesterday to reflect on the hectic past week and what is ahead for her. “T’ll be back and forth between Worthington and my sister’s home in Arlington for the rest of the summer,’’ she said. Most of her contacts, including her personal hairdresser supplied by the Massachusetts pageant committee, are based in Boston. Mrs. Humphrey described her daughter’s schedule as being ‘‘prettyloaded.’’ Miss Humphrey said that she ‘“‘hopes to get some rest’’ while in Worthington, but her duties as Miss Massachusetts will not leave much time for leisure activities. On Friday she will make an appearance at the Miss Connecticut pageant, and Saturday she will journey to Lexington for the opening of a Friendly Ice Cream Shop. Miss Humphrey said that she expects to sign a lot of autographs and meet many gowe in Lexington. : When all the Connecticut pageant winners are selected, they will appear on the ‘‘Woman ’78’’ television show in Boston. Then they will travel to Booth Bay Harbor, Maine, for the three-day ‘“‘Windjamer Festival.”’ Attend dances At the festival, Miss Humphrey said they will attend dances and a ‘“‘lobster eat’’ and be interviewed by a local television station. She termed the prospects of attending the festival ‘‘exciting.’’ . “T don’t know my schedule,” Miss Humphrey explained, “I try to look at it one day at a time, otherwise the whole thing would be too confusing.” : Small wonder that she cannot keep all the appointments straight yet when she outlines what she had done during the week she captured the Miss Massachusetts crown in New Bedford on June 16. She addressed a joint session of the Legislature at the (Continued on page 5) used here in Massachusetts, but she said that some more dif- ficult moves will be added. choreography herself. Miss Humphrey will do all the She also must work up a shorter routine to be used at some personal appearances. She has studied dance for many years, beginning at her mother’s studio in Worthington. She taught modern dance and preschool ballet classes from the time she was aged 14 until she graduated from Gateway Regional High School at 16. A chaperone will be with Miss Massachusetts all the time despite her busy schedule. Over the weekend her sister Roberta filled in for official chaperone, . Betty Sencabaugh, provided for by the state pageant committee. The chaperone is “someone to help me through in case I need it,’’ Miss Humphrey explained. This may range from fending off unwanted attentions by the public or press to being a friendly ear to talk to. At the pageant a contestant ‘‘needs someone to talk to,”’ Miss Humphrey explained. Contestants are allowed to see their families on a limited basis. In Atlantic City she will see Family separation Miss Humphrey said that the separation from the pally is “good in a way’’ because it prevents outsiders from interfer- ing with preparations, and stops families from upsetting : Other talented family members will be assisting Miss Humphrey.

An interesting sidelight is the many gifts Miss Humphrey received from her fellow Massachusetts contestants. Each one brings a gift for the winner, she explained. Included in the array are a “‘cranberries from Cape Cod”’ box, and a Red Sox batting helmet from Miss Boston.

The Finance Committee attended the board’s. weekly meeting to give an update on the progress of the abandoned roads study. The objective of the study is ‘‘to try to put a handle on what, if any, liability the town incurs through its extensive number of back roads,’ Chairman Grant Bowman explained. The committee’s first concern is with several back roads which are no longer passable by car. Committee member Timothy Sena called these roads ‘‘foot paths,’ adding that some need extensive bridge work before they can be passable. Bowman said that the committee compared the town’s street map with the state’s com- receiving reimbursement for Hill roads, which go off into the woods and have not been used for years. Also not on the list, are Osgood and Brown Hill roads which are in similar condition. Since the roads are not listed by the state, Bowman said this may mean that the town is not ) I Librarian attends annual meeting WORTHINGTON Jorge — Mrs. attended the annual meeting Saturday of the Massachusetts Library Trustees Association, of which she is a director and chairman of the awards com- mittee.

Both men said that they would like the public to feel free to call them for information about a permit before any structural changes are made in a home. “We can always tell them that they don’t need one,” Bartlett said. Magargal added that unknowingly a homeowner can make an apparently simple change that renders the home structurally unsound or even dangerous. Removal of too many support beams to enlarge a window, an pam installed water heater or a major change in a Richard home heating system without the proper valve changes were three examples given by the inspectors. Both men emphasized that they are interested in helping people with their projects and do not want to make more difficult. them work isdone, not after a job is completed. Magargal can be reached at his home on Williamsburg Road and Bartlett at his home on Kinne Brook Road. In other business no bids were received for work on the Town Hall roof. The board decided to ask once more for bids to renail and coat the metal roof before winter.

In fact, Bartlett recall when the last restrictions were inand in his memory, members of the Worthington Fire District have never run short of water. However, this week the commissioners were concerned when the reservoir did not fill up after pumps were activated from two deep wells.

Com- missioner James _ Pease estimates that a little more than 1642 million gallons are used in the Fire District each year. The reservoirs are augmented by three wells that were drilled over a period of three decades as insurance against dry spells. The first well was drilled in 1949 after a dry spell the previous year, Bartlett remembers. The last well was drilled in the 1960s. Pease described this year as “‘a little on the dry side,’ but said that the wells were only in use for five weeks this summer.

Bartlett said that some of the lines had been in place since the formation of the district in 1911 and were only two inches in diameter. The new eight-inch pipes also replaced ones dating from 1931.

Two years after is dead at the age of 86. SoN7 Fe Dr. Snook discontinued her Worthington practice, the center was opened, partially to provide local health care and partially as an enticement to doctors to consider establishing a practice in the town. Mrs. Bates served on the original citizens committee established to work on the arrangements and the center was opened Dec. 10, 1950, less than a year after the committee began its work. And when she retired, Mrs. Bates was honored by the town and the center, receiving the designation ‘‘nurse emeritus.”’ Mrs. Bates had been in ill health for some time, having been a patient at the Hampshire County Hospital for over a year before being transferred to The Cooley Dickinson Hospital.

Te ee 4, Worthington’s new ski center — scenic views, abundant wildlife WORTHINGTON By JANET DIMOCK ; — Most businesses dread the coming of winter, but Worthington’s newest business is taking advan- tage of the 15-inch snowfall that blanketed the Hilltowns over the Christmas holidays. Paul Sena, his brother Timothy and Timothy’s wife Catherine Rude-Sena were busily grooming trails, clearing the parking lots and making pots of hot coffee in preparation for customers at their recently opened crosscountry ski area — Hickory Hill Touring Center on Buf- fington Hill Road. Set upon a scenic hilltop, the area offers a commanding view of the surrounding valley. Old stone walls, hardwood forest and beaver ponds accentuate the rural character of the touring center. An abundance of wildlife has been spotted in the area, too, Hawks, deer and bear frequent the woodlands near the center. Mrs. Rude-Sena explained that visitors are unlikely to see any bear now, because they are denned up for the winter. While Paul Sena was out grooming the trails with the specially purchased equipment that smooths the trail while putting in tracks for skiers to follow, Tim Sena and his wife gave a recent visitor a tour of their newest business. “We saw this as a way to make good use of the land already here,’ Sena replied when asked how the family became involved with the ski business. Touring center facilities serve a double capacity as the site of summertime auctions run by the three younger members of the Sena family. Before opening the touring center, they formed the Buffington Hill Partnership as official managers of the center. They also did considerable remodeling to the auction barn and outbuildings. One shed has become a rental shop, outfitted with 125 pairs of Trak no-wax skiis, plus boots and poles. Glass display cases show off ski accessories. The auction barn has been transformed into a spacious lounge with a snack area and cozy bar offering malt beverages and wine. Racks to hold skiis while they are being waxed line the walls. A 10-foot metal fireplace and large supply of wood guarantee a snug spot to warm up by after a spell on the slopes. For warmth of another kind, an adjoining storage area has been ingeniously transformed into a bar. Mrs. Rude-Sena points out that the walls have been redone in authentic barnboard, which the family took down piece by piece from a tobacco barn. Tables around the room were cleverly fashioned from potato barrels. Mrs. Rude-Sena’s personal project is the snack bar. Her menu currently offers roast beef grinders, hot drinks, pastries, and other types of sandwiches. All three are well acquainted with the area. The Sena brothers are Worthington natives and Mrs. Rude-Sena’s family lives in neighboring Huntington.

Because it is a cooperative application with Easthampton and Hadley, exact locations have not been decided, Mrs. Burr said. If the planning grant is awarded to the authority, Mrs. Burr is hopeful that at least two Hilltown locations would be approved. Each site would have 15 units of housing. Over 16 percent of Worthington’s population is eligible for such housing making it a strong possibility, she added. Mrs. Burr said that four sites are being considered: Huntington, because of its nearby services; Worthington, Chairman Albert Nugent also said that the town would supply municipal services where ever possible but that resources like that are limited in a small town.

Maintaining — and living in — the Town Hall, managing the dump, doing odd jobs here and there, he was so well-loved that nearly the whole town turned out for his birthday celebrations the last few years of his life there. He has no close relatives, and he has no savings or possessions beside his land. “He was a great reader of Thoreau, and a true believer in his philosophy,”’ explained Ralph Thompson, a Northampton blacksmith who used to work for Davis. ‘“‘He wanted to leave the earth unscoured . . he believed that any action that went against Nature was rubbing against the grain and would never last. He used to tell me that only if you cooperated EMERSON DAVIS, a man who has served Worthington for years, may not be able to make his gift to the small Hilltown after all. Welfare reguiations may prevent it. A dream may die amid regulations and bureaucracy By LAUREL SORENSON WORTHINGTON — Emerson Davis had a dream for his town — a dream that may be about to die. _For years, he kept his forty acres of land —T a hill on Dingle Road with meticulous care — using it as a landfill for Worthington residents and carefully compacting the trash, arranging it in terraces and level areas so that upon his death, the town could Tit as a gift. It was Davis’ hope that the town would use the forested area, with its brook and view of surrounding hills, for a wildlife sanctuary and recreation area, He made provisions for that wish in his will. And his desire, as well as the hundreds of other things that he did for the town during his increasing. His money has run low, and state welfare policy specifies that to obtain financial assistance, a person must sell his assets. “Marketable value’ “We're talking about a plot of land that has marketable value,” said a spokesman for the welfare department today. As long as the land remained in Davis’ possession and had not been turned over to the town, the land is ‘‘a resource that had to be used,” he said. (Continued on page 5) < And so Davis cooperated. He arranged the slope and the soils of his landfill so that the water would run off the knoll. He made a flat area for a parking lot and baseball diamond, and he tried to distribute the trash evenly so that it would compact well. He requested residents to sort the glass and cans from their regular rubbish — and when they did not, he would either sort it himself or ask his helpers to do it. Thompson can remember Davis tromping, tromping the trash carefully with his feet to pack it down, and quoting from the philosophers he liked to read. : Project incomplete “Sometimes, he had a hard time keeping up with it,” explains Thompson. ‘‘But they were sound ideas on an ecological landfill.’’ His project — which envisioned a ski run and swimming pool as part of the recreation area and wildlife sanctuary — was incomplete when he was forced to leave the area, said Thompson. Although incomplete, there is no rubbish in sight. Francesca Wiig, the wife of federal Judge Jon Wiig, who made out Davis’ will, calls the area beautiful. “It was kept in such perfect order,”’ she said. ‘‘And the forest is one of the few really untouched woods remaining in the town.” ‘ : Now, the land has been placed in the hands of a Northampton real estate agent. Davis’ conservator, Edward McMahon, a Northampton lawyer, told selectmen the town could try to prevent the land sale by court action. But board members decided at last week’s meeting that court action would be too expensive. Moreover, the town already has a park — and the Dingle Road landfill cannot be used for a landfill again, they pointed out. Maintenance for the existing park is increasing, added selectman Julia Sharron — and care for more land will be an “additional burden on the taxpayer,” she said. Can anything be done? “It still seems as though there ought to be something that could be done,” said Joan Donovan, town clerk. However, nothing seems to be in the offing, she said. To date, Davis ae not know that.his dream will not be carried out, she a : “You can’t really do too much about it,”’ said selectman, Dorothy Nathan.

Despite a lifetime of coreS experience and omecrafting, Pierre S. de Beaumont and his wife Mary Deland were not sure which was true. But they tried it anyway, selling out of their ownership through 83 percent of the company’s stock. And while several dozen firms — “we can call the vast majority American corporations listed on the New York stock exchange’’ — have made tempting offers, de Beaumont is not about to sell. “Everybody has a price, which is probably just another way of saying everybody’s a rostitute at heart,”’ said de $550 worth of tools scattered eaumont from a comfortable armchair in his library, once the barn that housed most of the inventory. ‘‘But unless a company is willing to pay several times what it’s worth, Brookstone is not for sale.

A total town and school budget of $472,675 was approved for fiscal 1981 which begins on July 1. This is an increase of about 8 percent over the present budget. Of that amount, $452,800 will come from tax dollars, almost a 17 percent increase over the amount raised at the 1979 annual Town Meeting. The budget is $1,063 over the 4 percent spending increase limit mandated by the state, according to Town Clerk Joan Donovan. Mrs. Donovan ex- plained that under state guidelines, only certain relevant appropriations are considered in the increase. Voters approved exceeding the spending ceiling. The total budget figure has increased due to a drop in available federal aid which was used in past years to offset the money needed from taxation. School budget passes The Gateway Regional School budget was passed without question. .The total school * assessment is $275,319, Vocational school costs are estimated at $52,000 of the total figure. The total budget figure wil decrease when state aid figures are subtracted when those figures arrive in a few months. This is a $29,319 increase over the amount appropriated at the 1979 annual Town Meeting. Every $18,500 spent equals about $1 on the tax rate of $15 per $1,000 valuation. Due to a last minute recommendation from the Finance Committee, $10,000 in free cash (cherry sheet money that is refunded to service years to the jresent the town each year from the sander and it will cut dwn on state) was set aside to offset the the time needed to servie town roads.

The one-page sheet is written, printed, folded, stapled and addressed by hand by a closely-knit, yet loosely-organized, group. There is no chairman, no boss, but the work gets done on time due to what Mrs. Moran calls ‘‘a flexible organiza- tion of friendly cooperation.” She is responsible for mailing the “Parish Word.’ and, with the help of her husband Ralph, each copy. she folds the staples The folding and stapling is very routine, she said. She has helped with the newsletter since 1972. Routine or not, it is apparent to an onlooker that the job receives a hefty time commitment. Demand for the newsletter lias grown since the first issue was sent out in September 1970. “We sent out about 420. That’s a round figure,’ Mrs. Moran estimated. About 250 are sent to Worthington residents and another 100 copies go to other Massachusetts residents. The other 60 newsletters fill an important function — allowing former residents in 19 states to know what is happening in town. Those far from Worthington regularly read the brightlycolored sheet to keep in touch with old friends. The ‘‘Parish Word”’ is sent to the other five New England states plus New how the ‘‘Parish Shortly after Mrs. Jones and her hus- band Chester moved here from St. Louis, Mo., she realized that she was missing out on some community and church ac- tivities.

The format of the “Parish Word’’ has saw it in part as a vehicle for “‘a little promotion” of the local church. Christian education was combined with news on social events and meetings. Events such as the 550th anniversary of the death of St. Francis of Assisi and a brief explanation of his beliefs were noted. “Now it’s a general community paper, which I think is wonderful,’ Mrs. Jones Said.

"We located in Worthington because it is central to everything we do,” senior engineer Donald Newton explained. ° Although the firm does consulting work for customers in other parts of the country Newton Associates’ customers are based within an area bounded, by Boston, New Hampshire and Vermont, central New York State and Long Island. Newton says Worthington is the ideal place because it is the geographic center of the company’s normal business area, said Newton. “Our work is primarily industrial. We bill ourselves as plant engineers,”’ he said. Newton Associates deals with problems ranging from the design and redesign of buildings to energy conservation to the design of electrical systems, to the proper disposal of chemical plant waste water. ‘Just about everything you can imagine, we do — as far as engineering goes,’ he said. — FATHER AND son engineers Donald Newton Jr., left and Donald Newton Sr. look over plans for one of the com: pany’s projects.

The concert will be at 8:15 p.m. in Amherst College’s Buckley Recital Hall, with tickets available at the door. “One of my main interests as a pianist is the contemporary repertoire,’ Newell said in an interview in his home on Harvey Road. He and his wife, Lyn, an artist who teaches at Berkshire Community College, came here in 1978. They have a 21-monthold son, Spencer. A North Carolina native, Newell earned a Ph.D. in composition from the State University of New York in Buffalo. Newell will perform two of his own compositions, oe ‘ North Adams act,” he said.

ERRNO | Worthington Fire destroys four buildings and 30 acres By JANET DIMOCK WORTHINGTON — A fire of unknown aa origin yesterday destroyed four abandoned buildings and 30 acres of orchard, field and blueberry bushes at Hibiec Orchards near the Chester town line. The six-hour blaze apparently started in a small, fallen-in house located next to the barn according to firefighter and department secretary Linda Mason. There were no signs of previous outside burning or obvious signs of human occupation. Several fire reports were called in at about 1 p.m. The orchard has been abandoned since December 1977 when a fire started by a wood stove destroyed the caretaker’s home. ; A seco d fi la st fall totally destroyed the : once-statel y stone et mansion wh i pte unoccupied for a number of years, That fire ne lete rmined to be of Suspicious origin.

The tax rate for the next fiscal year, which begins July 1, will be nearly $4 less than the current rate, according to Assessor Robert Mason. The state Department of Revenue has set the rate at just under $15, he said. The current rate is $18.80 per $1,000 of valuation.

Gateway has chosen to use the state test in both writing and math on a way sixth grade students have left administrators and the school committee unsure how to interpret the test results. A report to the school commit- tee by basic skills chairman Robert Spear showed 38 percent of the sixth grade class failed the math and 28 percent failed the writing test. He noted however, students did well on the reading test with more than 94 percent passing. All three tests were developed by a Gateway teacher-advisory group for each subject. Spears cautioned that it could take years to determine the reliability and validity of the scores. The testing program is the result of a state mandate to implement minimum competency testing in math, reading and writing this year throughout the Commonwealth. While all third graders, sixth graders and ninth graders are required to be tested there is no state standard for passing, according to Spear. The standard of pass or fail has been left up to the community, which makes interpreting the between school districts percent passed the math test, 93 percent passed reading and 74 percent passed writing.

Maplehurst Farm on Old Post Road, home of David and Florence Tyler for the past 25 years, was sold to Harry Patten, president of the Patten Realty Co. of Stamford, Vt., for about $250,000. Patten did his homework. Before he took title to the property, comprising close to 500 prime acres, he had had it surveyed and plotted into parcels on a plan he submitted to the Planning Board for approval. “Because his plan conformed to the town’s zoning bylaws for frontage and lot size, the Planning Board reluctantly ini- | chairman and chief of police, so his de- parture from town about four years ago and subsequent sale of his farm to a detialed it,” Chairman Robert.Cook said . veloper was doubly wrenching to many townspeople. earlier this month.

Cook told the Selectmen that Planning Board members became even more concerned after Patten had bought the Parish and Bates places — two former dairy farms in West Worthington — earlier this year and cut them into many parcels, most of which have now been sold to indi- viduals. The Planning Board chairman cited the subdivision ap law as enmicuenee in Agriculture and was told that the owner must apply, so an application was sent to Tyler in Vermont. To expe- dite the application, Cook offered to get help from the state and to take care of ‘the local details himself. He was told that the state already had too many applications to go out looking for any more. Meanwhile, Tyler was doing business with Patten through a Rutland, Vt., real- tor, and the sale to Patten was closed. . Next, Cook contacted the Massachusetts Farms and Conservation Trust, which promptly sent representatives to look at the land and to have it appraised. They came up with a figure of $700 an acre for the farm land, minus the buildings and some land parcels that Patten already had under buy-sell agreements. : On that basis, Patten was offered $167,000 | for about 225 acres by: the trust, “a fig-| ure,” Cook said, ‘that was inflated by | the price of the land sold here in the past : year by Patten Realty after the Parish and Bates farms were cut up.” According to Cook, “Patten agreed ver- bally to the deal, but on the day the papers were to be signed in Boston, bad weather ensued and instead of flying there, Patten and other parties concerned conferred on the telephone.” The usual red tape of such transactions caused the deal to fall through, Cook said, and Patten proceeded to go through with the several buy-sell agreements already in his hand. More legal tools are needed to deal, with such situations, Cook advised the Selectmen, asserting that resources in terms of people knowledgeable in landuse laws are essential if farm and open lands are to be protected from devel: | opment. He suggested, as he has before, that the town needs someone working full, time — or at least with regular hours — | to keep up with pending sales of large | �eee 12 units f r elderly Housing permit DIMOCK for 12 units elderly —A of was housing granted permit for the Thursday night to Worthington Senior Hous- ing Inc. by a unanimous vote of the Board of Appeals.

A salary increase of ‘‘just over 7 percent,”’ $5,000 in secondary road improvements and a suggestion to replace one wall of the town garage were items submitted by Highway Superintendent James Pease. All budget’ requests for the next fiscal year, which starts July 1, are being reviewed by the selectmen and the finance committee and will be voted on at the annual Town Meeting in May. The highway budget includes $53,- 280 crew for salaries and costs for the three-man for part-time help for snow plowing, $18,500 for winter highways, $24,000 for general highways, $3,600 for garage maintenance, and $18,000 for machinery maintenance.

Knapp added that the two boards shoukt consider future planning for the purchase of a police department vehicle. He explained that he has always been opposed to the purchase of a town police vehicle due to the expense involved.

The goal of the business is to provide computer services for small towns and businesses that do not have the knowledge, personnel or resources to develop a system of their own, Mrs. Bowman explained. Customer lists, population files, school census lists, tax and real estate records stored on magnetic discs, replacing the volumes of paper that would be needed otherwise. All information is copied and stored in two locations for safety. Information stored there will be given to another party only with the contractor’s express permission, Mrs. Bowman said. At the contractor’s request those files can be sorted into categories or calculations made for a number of uses. For example, voting lists may be broken down by party designa- tion, or customer lists by name or street address. ‘“‘With a computer you can do a lot of things as long as you have data files,’’ Mrs. Bowman eapaine® e attached printer performs for recent elections a are two small computer for her use.

The selectmen June 6 annual — including new board member Stephen Kulik — and the finance committee met Monday to review budget trimming options, most of which will affect available town services in some way. There is approximately a $29,000 difference between the amount needed to cover the proposed budget items and the amount that can be raised and appropriated from tax dollars on the Town Meeting floor. Under Proposition 2% restrictions only $433,961 may be raised from taxation. That amount may be increased only by election ballot and cannot be changed by action on the Town Meeting the selectmen plained.

Marked for probable deletion from the $520,422 proposed budget Monday night were a $5,000 stabilization road fund, $5,000 improvements in and secondary $7,000 in Town Hall maintenance.

Priscilla Bartlett, 58, of Worthington; local entertainer, Girl Scout leader Timber sales to help Worthington a By JANET DIMOCK ; WORTHINGTON — A substantial amount of salable hardwood stand- . ing on 50 acres of landlocked town property may yield needed revenues for the town, the selectmen learned last week. Standing timber on a 50-acre lot off Ring Road is worth $5,000 to $10,000, according to Christopher : Powell of Harvey Road. Acting as a_ representative for Bay State Forest Service, Powell told the board that the land has “‘a substantial amount of hardwood timber that could be cut and generate income for the town.” The property has no road frontage and therefore “‘it probably has no real value as real estate except to an abuttor,’’ Powell said. all Powell added that he could mark mature trees suitable for use, advertise for bids for the lumber and the work involved, and supervise the actual cutting for 9 percent of the gross profits. The trees would be selectively cut, leaving some large timber to harbor wildlife. No out-of-pocket expenses would be asked for from the town. And if the work is done properly enough timber will be left for another cutting in 10 to 15 years. In addition, Powell said he will do deed research arrangements on the piece, for make right-of-way ac- cess and do a woodland survey for “no more than $200.” Powell added that if the project does not go through due to right-ofway problems he will not charge the town for the time spent. The selectmen unanimously agreed to the project and signed a work order allowing Powell to be- gin. He expects to mark the trees uring July and August so that lumbering work can be done during the dry season or the winter. Powell said that he will report his progress to the board.

The 12-unit complex, which cost $600,000 to build, stands as a symbol of community spirit and the long hours of volunteer work given by the board members of the Worthington Senior Housing Inc. which coor- dinated the project. The six-acres of land, located next to the Worthington Health Center, was donated as were a variety of other items from furniture to coffee pots for the community room. The project, from conception to completion took a little over two years, and according to Massachusetts Samaritan director David Rockwell, a non-profit corporation which sponsored the local housing group, the timing of the project was a decided advantage. “It’s a blessing for Worthington that we got this housing built when we did,’’ Rockwell said. New federal budget restrictions call for ‘‘bare bones, no frills’’ housing, he said. Department of Housing and Urban Development guidelines have elimi- nated two-bedroom dishwashers, and call for more stu- dio apartments. ments apartments, that make Many of the ele- ‘‘The Maples’”’ so attractive may no longer be availa- W-* »chlic housing, Rockwell said.

Residence is limited to those with low or moderate income. All must be independent living and enjoy life in a small community. Applications are accepted from handicapped persons of any age, but others must be age 62 or over. “T love it up here,’’ Evelyn Boucher said recently. Mrs. Boucher left her home on Petticoat Hill Road in Williamsburg to be near her daughter and son-in-law Marilyn and Rob- ert Bartlett and their family. Ethel and Stanley Mason, the only married couple, celebrated their 62nd wedding anniversary Saturday in their new home. Of those years together only six were spent living out of town. Both are quick enjoy to say that they ‘“‘The Maples,”’ especially the convenient lay-out and the special design in their two-bedroom apartment for the handicapped. Mrs. Mason is partially handicapped due to a hip injury several years ago. One person who has made the adjustments much easier is site manager Judy Spiess. Mrs. Spiess “treats us like family,’’ Mrs. Boucher said. She likened the manager’s attitude to that of a shepherdess looking out for her flock. The manager herself is much less outspoken about the hours of work she had donated to the project. She had been involved in it from the start as a housing board member. In addition to the time spent on paperwork, telephoning, and other tasks, Mrs. Spiess also attended workshops on housing management and took a national test to become a certified housing manager. She is employed by Elderly Housing Management of North Haven, Conn., the non-profit organization in charge ment. of In order the complex’s to see the manage- project open Mrs. Spiess took a leave-of-absence from her job as a dental hygenist. But she quickly points out the long list of donations received. Lamps and silverware for the community room, plants and shrubs, even a load of manure for the garden area have all been donated. ‘The attitude of the community has been really great,” she said. Lucie Mollison, 84, teacher and Gazette correspondent WORTHINGTON — Lucie (Glass) Mollison, the Worthington correspondent for the Daily Hampshire Gazette for more than 14 years, died yesterday at the Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield. Mrs. the Mollison, Maples 84, had moved apartments for to senior citizens in May, leaving her home of 58 years on Huntington Road. Born in Swampscott July , 11, 1899, and Goshen before her marriage to Harry W. Mollison in 1920. He died in 1968. Although she grew up in a city, Mrs. Mollison readily adapted to country life. “‘She threw herself into the community,’”’ one friend said. “*You’d never know she hadn’t lived here forever.” She and her husband operated one of the largest dairy farms in Wor- ego for many years. ‘I raised my family on a farm. I don’t think I could ever go back to living in the city,” she said in a Gazette interview in May. She and her husband also delivered the mail at one time, beginning in the days when letters still were delivered by horseback. Active in many of the town’s organizations, she was described as “‘an inspiration to a lot of people.”’ “People looked to her, both for her energy and for her frame of mind,’’ recalled a long-time friend, Assistant Worthington Postmaster Harriet Osgood. ‘‘She was a fighter, an optimist. She had some hard times, but never let it get the better of her. “She was a very intelligent woman. She read constantly,’ Mrs. Os- good recalled.

WORTHINGTON—Tax Collector Beverly Bowman has started legal proceedings in an attempt to collect $10,694 in unpaid property taxes. Tax taking proceedings against 10 parties will begin Sept. 21 unless payments are made. A list of delinquent taxpayers and the amounts owed was published as a legal advertisement last Thursday in the Daily Hampshire Gazette. ‘*It does not mean that people are going to lose their home or property,’’ Mrs. Bowman explained. ‘‘Tax taking is the equivelent to a mortgage to the town of Worthington.’’ Property will not be seized, homes auctioned off or the families left homeless. Instead, the property owner must make payments to the town treasurer after that date. “It’s a way of ensuring that the town of Worthington can collect on the lein,’’ she said. On Sept. 21, the tax collector will formally announce the property owners and parcels involved. Then a certificate will be filed with the Registry of Deeds. After that regular payment must be made to the treasurer. Property owners may face foreclosure proceedings if adequate payments still are not made. In this situation, ony one parcel involves a year-round dwelling, she said. Tax taking proceedings have not been initiated since the mid to late 1970s, the tax collector said. She has served in that post for one year. Mrs. Bowman added that she was reluctant to start the proceedings but said ‘legally the collector is bound to collect taxes when they are due.”’ Tax taking procedure is not a pleasant situation for either party. ‘‘It’s a stressful situation for the taxpayers and it’s a stressful situation for the collector,”’ she added. All parties owing back taxes and who have not been making payments were notified recently about the legal advertisement by certified letter so that they are all aware of the action. Despite the unpleasant side of the process, Mrs. Bowman is optimistic that most of the money due the town will be paid. Since the announcement last spring that names would be published and legal proceedings initiated against delinquent taxpayers, many overdue accounts have been paid. Mrs. Bowman did not have the figures immediately available but said that a con- siderable amount has been collected.

There, at the center of a vast and intricate labyrinth, lying in wait for unsuspecting prey, lived beast. the Minotaur, half-man, half- “Knossos”’ is also the title of a composition for solo piano by Worthington pianist-composer John Newell. The title suggests both the mysterious nature of the piano piece and of the art of composition. In an interview last week at his home on Harvey Road, Newell played excerpts from ‘‘Knossos.”’ Like the ancient city, the short piano piece mysteries. evokes labyrinthine Emotionally charged, and at times harsh and disorienting, the piece was composed two years ago after Newell had read about the once-great Cretan civilization. Knowledge of the Cretans, Newell learned, has come to us only in fragments. Similarly, his piano piece consists of a myriad of disconnected fragments. Long silences, crashing chord clusters and alluring melodies by interrupted unsettling unexpectedly dissonances confuse, then hypnotize the listener. Like the legendary labyrinth, “you can’t get out of this piece,” said Newell. ‘“‘One of the functions of this composition and of art in general is to challenge people and make them a little uncomfortable,” he said. He finds the process of composing as mysterious as the mythical maze. ‘“‘You never know where the idea for from.” a composition comes Sometimes he feels an emotion that can only be expressed through music. Sometimes a poem inspires him. Sometimes he begins with a melody, and sometimes with just a rhythm. On a penciled sketch of an unfinished composition, Newell pointed out scattered musical ideas — melodies without rhythms and rhythms without chords — that he had scrib- bled between staves and in margins. These ideas, he said, are often written into the piece at places completely different from where they were conceived. The final product results from a slow, grueling process that bines the artist’s search for knowledge and self-expression his desire to communicate others. “‘There’s a movement among temporary composers to be comselfwith with con- more accessible, and that doesn’t necessarily mean a compromise must be made,” said Newell. ‘‘For instance, I’m not writing music that only a virtuoso orchestra could play. A civic or university orchestra could play my music,” he said. “‘Nobody wants to hear the world’s most difficult piece, so I don’t write it.” Nevertheless, the composer said it has been difficult getting people to hear his music, although his skill as a concert pianist has helped. This year for the first time, Newell is playing solo concerts, and in Febru- ary, as part of his plan to make more public appearances, he will tour North Carolina, his native state, and Virginia. Newell, who in 1978 settled here with his wife, Lyn Horton, and 4- year-old son, Spencer, left North Carolina after graduating from Duke University and earned a Ph.D. in composition from the State Uni- versity of New York in Buffalo. He has appeared throughout the United States as composer, pianist, conductor and lecturer. His compos- itions have been performed Handmade snowshoes are a special hobby enjoyed by Ralph Smith of Middlefield. He exibits his craft in the photo shown above. (Photo by Janet Dimock) in the U.S., Europe, and South America. “The average concert pianist doesn’t get as far as I do into the 20th century repertoire,” said Newell, who plays the entire range of 20th century music. In this century, there have been more new styles than in all of music history, he said. His own compositions range in style from a harp solo, titled ‘‘Aardvark Processions,’’ premiere in New which had its York at Carnegie Recital Hall in 1980, to a piano solo called “The Caprice of Death in 1982,”” which Newell composed in memory of those who died that year in the Middle East, Afghanistan, and El Salvador. Newell will play both of these pieces, along with a third composition, titled ‘‘A Pleasant Fugue,” at a performance tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. in the multipurpose room of the Russell H. Conwell Elementary School on Huntington Road. He will also play works by Claude Debussy and Leos Janacek. Following his performance, the artist will speak on the art of composing. “‘I want to give people an idea of where my ideas come from,’’ said Newell. The perfomance and talk will be given in appreciation of the Wor- thington Arts Council, which recently gave Newell an $86 grant. at Worthington site Sport shop to open —A WORTHINGTON goods store will open here To sell munitions, the shop has to sporting be licensed by the state and federal in time government, Mrs. Mason noted.

In that case, residential property owners would have been taxed at $14.18 on every $1,000 of taxed land and commercial prope rty owners at $22.27 on every $1,000 of taxed land, said Mason. This would have saved residential property owners about 70 cents on every $1,000 and cost commerci al property owners just over $7 more on every $1000, he said. Although the assessors would not reveal the final tax rate, based on these figures it apparently will be set at about $14.88 on every $1,000 of property owned. in September, he took a long wistful look around his property. ““‘When we came to pick him up to take him to the airport, he was looking out over the hill,’’ said Betty Tucker, a close friend of Mr. Nagler and Edith, his wife of 65 years. ‘‘I think he knew it was going to be his last summer here.”’ Mr. Nagler, 92, died in a nursing home in Dallas on Nov. 24. Born in Springfield, Mr. Nagler has spent his summers in Huntington for 65 years. He and Edith honeymooned at their Goss Hill home. “Fred was originally from Springfield and he loved the area,’’ said Mrs. Tucker, who spends summers in North Chester with her husband, John. ‘‘He met Edith and the Art Student’s League in New York City and introduced her to the area. You always think of the two of them together—they were always together.’’ Mr. Nagler was widely known for his etchings, sculpture and portraits. He was also known for his religious motifs. His works are on display in museums, galleries, churches and universities throughout _the country including the Childe Hassam, American Academy of Arts and Letters; the Halgarten Prize, National Academy of Design; John Barten Payne, Virginia Museum; Clark Prize, Corcoran Gallery, Washington, D.C.; Altman and Carnegie Prizes, National Academy of Design; Lamont Prize, First Prize, Museum of Springfield and First Prize, New Haven Museum. The summer house, known simply as ‘‘The Stone House,”’ sits on 200 acres with an appropriately inspiring view. The Naglers helped design the home themselves and oxen were used to drag the stones up the hill. The house was designed to serve as a studio with high windows and a cathedral ceiling. The ownership of the house has been transferred to his son, Joe, who lives in Texas. 3 Mr. Nagler remained active as an artist until recently. Since his wife, also an accomplished artist, recently broke her hip and has cateracts, Mr. Nagler did all of the errands, cooking and the wash. May Smith of Montgomery recalled that last summer Mr. Nagler called her searching for a recipe for peanut brittle. Cathe DeLano of Bean Hill Road also received a call. “*He was calling all over for a recipe,’’ Mrs. DeLano said. ‘‘He ended up using his own recipe—it was awful.”’ Mrs. DeLano, also a close friend of the Naglers, said Mr. Nagler ‘‘was one of the most Christian men I’ve ever met. He influenced everyone he met.”’ Mr. Nagler, especially during the last 10 years, led an active social life in the Hilltowns. He held parties for 60 to 70 guests at places like the former Page Ore Restaurant in Westfield and the Log Cabin in Holyoke. ‘*He would invite a diverse group of people that you would never think would mix at all,’’ Mrs. DeLano said. ‘‘But Fred could get away with it because of their respect for him. He said it was good to mix up different kinds of people because some of one rubs off on the other.’’ Mrs. DeLano said that a memorial service will be held in Huntington in the spring. She suggested that donations be made in Mr. Nagler’s name to a favorite charity. RA LS SER EE OE Fred Nagler, attending his wife’s 93rd birthday party this summer, at The Rapids Restaurant in.

He moved to Dallas 10 years ago. He is survived by his wife, Edith (Kroger) Nagler of Dallas; a son, Joe of Dallas; a sister, Elsa Nagler of Springfield; and two grandsons, Paul and John.

It reads: ‘‘The people of Worthington and Sarmany are united through the Ground Zero Project, through our love for our towns, and through the hopes we share for our childrens’ futures. Yet, if there is a nuclear war, all that we value would be destroyed. As people who live in this Massachusetts Hilltown community, we pledge ourselves to work to prevent nuclear war, an unthinkable horror that must be prevented. Our two nations must work together to create peaceful means of resolving conflicts and take steps to reduce the danger of nuclear war.

Petitions for support of the idea are being circulated, according to Richard Mansfield of West Street. The group hopes to put the question before the voters at a Town Meeting, where the issues can be debated. A similar proclaimation was passed earlier this year in the town of Leverett. If passed, the resolution would also prohibit participation in nuclear defense and crisis relocation planning. Although there are no plans at this time for any other community to relocate here in case of a crisis, the Worthington group is opposed to this type of plan because they see it as misleading. “*(This type of) Civil Defense planning gives validity to the myth that there is a survivable nuclear war, that all you have to do is leave town for a few days. We don’t want to have any part of that myth,’’ Mr. Mansfield explained. The resolution reads as follows: 1. We reaffirm the endorsement of the Nuclear Weapons Freeze and reduction as voted by the town of Worthington in June 1982. 2. No nuclear weapons may be designed, produced or deployed in the town. 3. The town will not participate in nuclear defense or crisis relocation planning. 4. Transportation or storage of nuclear weapons or nuclear material intended for weapons use will not be permitted in the town of Worthington. More information on the resolution is available from Mr. Mansfield or other members of the freeze group. �Small computer service hope to help s other small businesses S in the area By Janet Dimock Qe iF WORTHINGTON-—A small business, based on its owners’ ambition to help other small businesses, has found a place in the Hilltowns. B & H Computer Services has received a prompt response for services in its first six months of business, something that has made owners Beverly Bowman of Worthington and Nancy Hewes of Chesterfield very happy. The two have combined their interest in and knowledge of computers, their accounting and bookkeeping experience and their interest in small town government to make a computer business tailored toward small businesses and communities. The business offers a range of computerized services including maintenance of data files, accounting, billing, payroll accounts, direct mailing and advertising and mailing lists..Voting and street listings have been compiled for several communities. ‘‘We’re doing a l6t with mailing lists and we’ve done some postcard advertising recently,’’ Mrs. Bowman said. Client information is recorded by a Radio Shack model 12 computer and printed by the attached dot matrix printer. Facts and figures are stored on discs (a duplicate is made of all records) and can be pulled out for a variety of uses. Customer listings can be relied upon for different categories of information, for example. Customers who live in a certain town or even on a certain street may be pinpointed with ease with the aid of a computer. As long as there is enough information on hand, the computer operator can develop data files to suit the customer’s needs. One B & H customer was able to compile a list of her own clients according to their birthdate so that she can send each one a card, Mrs. Bowman said. The two women were initially attracted to the computer business as means to help small towns deal with increased paperwork demands. Both are familiar with the workings of small town government through their own involvement. Mrs. Hewes is the town accountant for the town of Chesterfield (she also filled in as Worthington’s accountant for one year) and Mrs. Bowman is Worthington’s tax collector. Mrs. Bowman became acquainted with the potential of computers when the machines were introduced to the Gateway school system, where she worked as the assistant elementary school principal. She resigned her position a year ago to pursue her new career. B & M Computer Services was formally formed seven months ago on an auspicious date, the two women jokingly point out, April Fool’s Day. Since then they have been busy serving an increasing number of customers. ‘‘For not advertising we’ve done extremely well,’’ Mrs. Hewes pointed out. ‘‘There’s been a project going all the time. Now there’s usually more than one,’’ her partner added. A large part of their business demand has been to compile street listings and voter registration lists for four towns in the Gateway district. Through use of a new program, street listings referring to each house according to its location can be printed even if the houses are not numbered. These lists are especially valuable to local fire departments, Mrs. Bowman said. Over the past months they have refined and improved their ‘‘town clerk’s package’’ to include not only street and voting lists, but also a school census and dog lists. New offerings for towns are also in the works. ‘‘We are in the process of developing an accounting system for municipalities and we are really excited,’’ Mrs. Bowman said. ‘‘It will be a service at an affordable price.’’ Developing an accounting system is probably one of the biggest problems that face small towns due to the high salary cost involved, she said. A full-time Mit otinnsy Businesswomen Bowman Nancy Hewes, right, and Beverly work at their Radio Shack model 12 com- puter.

It will be available in the near future. to offer printing of Originally they planned municipal tax bills right away, but have found that the project is quite involved and that the computer software is not readily available. ‘‘We’re working up to that—it is very complex,’’ Mrs. Bowman said. They plan to make that service available for fiscal year 1985 tax bills. The rest of their work has more than met their expectations, however. ‘‘We’re finding that there really is a need for computer services among the small businesses,’? Mrs. Bowman said. A few of their customers are from outside this area ‘‘but the majority of business has been in the Hilltowns.’’ Small business owners are ‘easy to work with’’ and the women enjoy tailoring a computer package to fit the customer’s needs. ‘‘Our motto is, we emphasize service,’’ she ex- plained. In the future they plan to add a daisy wheel printer quality letters for their typewriter to produce customers. If business keeps increasing they may evén add another computer. A modem, which enables the computer to send and receive information over the ian telephone, was recently purchased. ‘What we’re doing at the moment is continuing to expand our services, expand our research and development and we will expand our software as the need arises,” Mrs. Bowman said. advertising—for is postcard step new One themselves. The women feel that they have diversified and expanded their offerings to the point that they can take on a number of new customers. After seven months on the job, the two still find the work enjoyable. ‘‘Our offerings are pretty diverse, that’s what makes it so much fun.

At the time of Mr Hamlin's 26th anniversary in 1910, the principal speaker was former Gov Curtis Guild, who paid high tribute to Mr Ham,l l~'s service. "For 25 years," he said, "Charles H. Hamlin has been a minis• , ter to the spiritual needs of this con- . gregation and in the truest sense qf the word, the pastor of his church- 1 - For as a shepherd Is the leader of his · . flock, so· has this clergyman, In this I b eautiful valley, beloved and beautiful ' 1 eve n in colonial days, been a pastor, a shepherd of men, as were his predecessors, when this wai; no tranquil hamlet, but the very fronter of civil• I ization." 1 Rev Dr P. s. Moxom, then a prom!- . , nent pastor In Springfield, said that Mr · j Hamlin was a man who "profoundly , b e li eves in the comprehensive mission of the church. Mr Hamlin's name is . known (and in some quarters whole- I somely feared) all over the commonjwea lth. His successful -efforts to abol,ish a great evil (referring to race track pool sell!ng) make part of its recent history. His d evotion to a high I , c ivic ideal has been inspiration to followers and fello\y workers and has , exerted an influence wider than .he 1 s uspects. His practical belief that 1 'clcanliness is next to godliness' and his broad Interpretation of cleanliness have worked str ongly for a cleaner and sounder s ocia l life. He has ear ned the confidence and esteem of the best / elemen ts in the . community and com- I pelled the respect of all ; it haii earned , for him the love and loyal support of the church for which he has so long been a leader." [ It was said of Mr Hamlin, when a I student, that he was wa.rned not to 1 go to Germany to study unless he wanted to become an infide l, 'but he promptly went to Germany, where exp os nre s imply toughened the fiber of hi., c onvic tions. . 1 H.ev Mr Hamlin served for years as I a valued member of the board -of trus- / 1 tee,i of Williston seminary at Easth ;,. mpt.on, and Prc;,f C.

Sunday the chocolate- colo-;:';;:tcar a nd the fa mily slipped over the r ldi;te to West Cummington to drop In on Dr and Mrs Starkweather who were eelebrntlng their golden wedding an You s ee, gentle readers, ni v.ersary. go l<len weddings in Cummington are li ke baby golf courses In a big city. Some one starts the fad and then , al most before you know it, everyone is copying the Idea. Last month Mr ana ~!rs Wa lter l<'ord entertained. This mon t h It was the old family doctor's turn. The little reception on Sunday wad in many ways more Interes ting than usual, for Dr Starkweather has been a country doctor in Cummington, 0 1· So,voy, for more than 10 years. He is one ot' the fe w remaining old family phyioians. For well on to half a cen tury he climbed the hills, waded snowdrltted roads, taced biting winds, aml ans.wered midnight calls In Windsor, Peru, Worthington, Sav oy and Cum - I I mington. If all the babies at whose births he was present now lived In Cumming1ton, that village would have more than double its presen t population, tor the good doctor estimates he has assisted at between 1000 and 1200 · cases. An'd as for other calls, or the num.be;. or miles be has t raveled In caring for t he sick, one hesitates to venture even a guess. Country doctors with their kindly 1 ways are fast disappearing- from rural •N ew England, but in Dr Starkweathe, 1 one s t ill finds the type almost' in the prime of lite. But he stands a lone, for ' .:in al! my hills I do not know of a nother, unless it be Dr MoUne of Sunderland, who is known from OJJe end of the valley to the other. The younger generation s eems to ha vP. fiiiled to produce real m en wil ling tn face th e world of need and su ffering, ,. in isola tion, and in humble ci rcum -f stance, i,nd wltli:out p rospects of great ( ' t111ancial rewards. 1 Five 'taugl1ters, all livi!\g and pres' wedding, en gold z·ents' pa their ent at and a host of friends a n d neighbora from far and ilear to wish them success, marked the little ga thering on Sunday. Thus we left them, bu t a s WI! s low ly climbed the hill toward .Plainfield, near the spot wh ere long ago, William Cullen Bryant paused to note the passing waterfowl, there kept run1 , nlng t hrough our mind the qu i;A'tioi 1 , life. l · or what constituted a successfu And somehow or other, the good doc. tol', burled from the wori<l dee p in Hampshire's hills. wit h his twosco1·2 years ot service and his· count / friends, with li!s eplendid health and his unbrok en family circle, seeme"d t e fill the 1deflnlflon. In his own humble I - wny he had kept' high the t radi tions of an !llustr!ous commun ity and when the real history ot Cumm ington ls written his nam e will stand withou t blemish near that of the great poet under whose Influence he h as lived so l l long. We lo~t a noth el' fine . old n eighbor ' duz·ing the week, I refer to Byron Hollis fr om u p in ,vindsor BuslJ. )fr Hollis was almn,t 71 years o!d a nd lived his en tire li(e in the h ouse in whic h he was born, and , if I am not mistak en, h is fathe r \\'as born &.n<l died In th e sam e house, too. but. I notice th at t he Hem lclltng of Mr H ollls 's dea th ~ays tha t his fathe r mover! to tho place as a you ng man . Mr Hollis 11as a fine exa mple o! Fol' more t han a. th e old sc hool. quarter ot a century he ser \'ed as sc hool com m ittee m ember, and it "·as in this capacity t hat I came to kno w him first. He was a good far me r a nd lived in on e of th e mos t beautiful spots In B erl,shi re count.y. From his doo rya1·d one co uld look off to the I south a nd to the west to e njoy the wld e -Epreading hill s. In spite. of t he fa ct th at .M,· H oll is / s pent a ll of h,s days in Berkshire county, h e n ever visited Peru l1il l until we drove up t her e toget her in Old Tlme r in the s pring of 1923. Tllat was a m emorab le trip for m or e reasons that one and I shall long recall · the event. There h a d been a s chool committee meeting that day in Hirn!!• da le at which I had tendered my re~lgnation In order to acc ept a p osition in the W est. Wh en we rea ch ed Peru we found Mayor Creamer seated on th e steps •in front of' hi s store enjoying a beautiful spri ng day. In the course of the conversation Mr Hollis told h im that I had resigned. In s ta ntly l\Ir Creamer, turn in;;- to me. said: ,..What did you · do that for? We were satisfied with I your wo1'1c '' Mr H olli s \\·as a grf:at booster for the Cummington old follrn' gathering, and last June, whe1i he failed to at t end, th,e event seemed to lag. for be had been secre tai:y •of the organization for many years. It was Mr Hollis who COrl'ected t he spelling of 'Windsor Jambs, and who explained how that spot got its nam e. He said t hat , th e huge stones in tl)e walls of ·t he gorge are in the shape of the j a mbs, or sides, of an open fireplace, hence \ th e name. My hills do not maim men like - Mr H offis any more. Automobiles and radios and Delco light s and bakers' bread have erased t!1e marks that dlstingu!s!Jed cou ntry fro m city folks, and now, as one fine old citizen afte r another passes on, they are n ot leaving behind anyone to fl!l t h eir places.

Th e author carries the r eailer thro ug-h a na tional convention In which i n ternationa l a utocrats and the communis ts i re each wor king- i to establis h a supergovernment. T he middlefolks dominate the situa tion and sugges t a plan fo.r world courts m od eled 11pon Am e rican ideals. A court of the west is proposed to adjud icate disputes upon this h emi s ph ere ; a court of the east Is suggested to h a ndle the probl em s of Europe, Asia a nd Africa; 1 the two courts in joint sessi on wou ld ' a ct as the sup reme court fo r man- 1 kind. The argument is supported by wise . sayings, as: "Washington thre-;v a col11 a cr oss the Poto mac. His success- , ors have s ea ttered American dolla r s f over th e world"; " th e ma n who says nothing makes a typical politi cal ad dress"; "political promise represents a hop e, like a check dated a head" ; "the road to wa r Is paved with brok en treaties." A love story which begins upon one of the battlefields o! France and extends through a politica l campaign ·is the thread bY which the Interest of the reader Is malnt,a.lried. The heroine, Joy Pynchon, Is the only.one of the characters which has a nonallegorlcal name. The scene of the story Is laid In one of the middle wes tern states. T he controversy begins with a dispute :~etween between th e commun ist, Ilkovitch; a Stoug:1test, and s u per-industrialist, Middl efolks. It beg ins ,when the industrialis t su ggests that the " chain-store Idea" mig ht be a mplified into a scheme for an in tern a tiol;!a 1 government. This arouses the ire of Middlefolks, who in sists tha t the aver age citizens of the ' world are e utirely satisfied w ith sturdy nationalism . It develops th a t Stoui; ht- ' est Is the gun rdian of Joy Pynch on, the sweetheart of Mlddl efollrn. The sit- : nation naturally follows that the young woman ls !or a time uncertain whether he1· guardian or h er Joyer are correct and attem)i>ts to compromise their ideals which results 1n a barsrler that threatens to disrupt either the ' love atralr or h er pleasant relations with Stoughtest. There are chapters dealing with political campaigning. Possibly Mr Talbot's ow:n experiences as a n Independent in polltics are more or less r eflected In the story. He was on th e subcommittee of three, the other m embers loeing · congress map H oward of, Alabamp, and Judg,e Clarence Shea n of New York, who drnfteC: the Ind e1pend ence leag·ue platform 'O t th eir national conv entron in 19 08 .

One of the characters, Lawyer DePracto who manages the political ca mpaign ! or Middle!olks, ls the moving force through a court trial a nd the fin al protection of Mlddlefolks · from conviction upon a. trumped-up charge. 1 The author frankly states in the opening pa.ges that his characters a._re composite and are intended to delineate the forc es .that are at work 1n . . , , -.

Sherma n and Ernest Orpin , of Hinsdale and Lawrence Estes and , Willlam H. Cullett qt Dalton, all life- , I time friends of Mr· Creamer, acted as bearers. Many Berkshire towns were represented by those who came to 1 pay their last respects. Judge Ch!!rles L. Hibbard, Atty J. Ward Lewi~, Mr and Mrs Eugene Backman, and Dr Michael W. Flynn of Pittsflel~, l}_arry Meacham chairman of the Dalton selectmen and Harry Ford of Dalton, Thomas A. Frissell and Carlton A. ' Pierce of Hinsdale, Dr Mary Sanderson of Amherst, and Mrs H. D. Pease and Clemenf Burr of Worthington were a few of ,the many that came from neighboring to,yns. Thi.s was the first death in Mr; Creamer's immediate family and his wife and dau~hters did not choose the windy htlltop of Peru for his resting - place but selected a lot In the Maple-street cemetery .In Hinsdale. About 50 automobiles were in the fun~ral cortege. ' 1 j I �"The Mayor of Peru" e ' ·• '1 j e t t 1 ' The late Frank' G. Creamer of Peru , "the highest town in Massa- , 'chusetts," had entered his 70th year before he died l)n his Berkshire , hilltop. His life for the most part was lived in Peru, which now has a population of about 100 souls. He was for years one of the best-known He citizens of Berkshire county. was also an interesting: person, Mr Creamer for more than a generation kept the- only store in town. A born p~Jitician, he was both the center and the whole circumfer!lnce · of its political life, in spite of the handical) of being a 1 consistent Democrat in a rural Re • publican community. For some 30 years he held practically all of the town _offices, and was postmaster to boot. To hold all the important town offices at once was never burdensome to Mr Creamer, yet there were always quite a few n1atters,· for him to remember and l9ok aftei:. If one is selectman, town clerk, town treasurer, a ssessor, road superintendent, fire and tree warden pound keeper and fence -v iewer and measurer of wood and lumber besides being moderator of town-~eetings, whenever they are called, one can have a fairly active life with tending•/store and being postmaster and county auctioneer as one's chief · vocation. It was as "the mayor of Peru" that Mr Creamer" .,became widely known after the city newspapers began ·play_ing up for the front page t~e town~rneet!i;igs ?n the breezy h11lto1? with picturesque detail and humorous coloring. City folks grew interested in a rural place where oje man held all the offices and, after t~e p~ssage of years, had to fight ' d1ssat1sfied cdtics in one end ·j of the town or the other in order to maintain his supremacy. It was discovered that Mr Crejmer was a "character"-and so "mdividual," as the summer boarders in the Berkshires would be apt to say. He was indeed "individual," also a "char'acter"; and no one appraised the value of being one quicker than he djd. The town , al so, came to appreciate the publicity he won for it. He was hospitable, g enerous and kind hea rt- i ed. He had the s hrewdness of a ; David Harum ; he had a racy wit I 1 and rare fluency of s peech. ' When he served in the lower branch of th e Leg,islature he made his term memorable in town history by tie· livering a humorous speec h on Peru, "the h ighest town in Massa- / , 'ch usetts" in the sense that the village itself had the highest eleva• tion, not to · mention the best air, which made a hit in the House. He prou'rlly . preserved newspaper clip1 pings of that speech for many years ' thereafter. · It was always suspected that the ,politica,l ti.e s between t<the mayor of ' 'Peru" an·cl the late Gov Crane were r~ther close. The gove.rnor never passed the Creamer store on his way down 'the hill to Dalton without stopping to ha ve a chat. .it was Mr Crane's way of keeping close to the people, just as Se~ator- ii';;,ry Wilson, . l~ter ".ice-president in. Grant's adm1mstrat1on, would drop in on and butchers cobblers, Natick barbers,. when h,e· wa f at home, to feel the public pulse. Senator· Hoar in his au\obiography testifies that Senat.or Wilson: knew what ,w:as stiring in Massachusqtts politics sooner than any othe.r , politician in the state. Mr Crane was apt to know as soon as any of the leaders of hi s 1 time, and Frank Creamer w~·s oiie of h!s feelers,. although Frank was a Democrat and joshed Mr·· Crane •at th e first /opportunity when Demo- • cratic Presi?ents or governors had ' been elected. Most . people think of him s a ' :ankee-;-a Yankee rural type. ;hat is where error _comes in. Frank , Creai:ner, one used to be• told, was i I . extraction • Yet , that b mng of ~ Irish ue, 1ie was one Irishman who seemed to absorb a whole Yankee hilltop ' nat'ives, , atmosphere and all . · mtoT 1115 bwn I•personality without· ' spo1 mg wha~ was Yankee in ·t I l ·- - --- I• �OROPARMELEE, 72, GORGE AT WEST CHESTERFIELD IS BOUGHT BY STATE F orm,e r Mi nis ter Pra ctis ed m Wo rth ing ton , Hin sda le Bef ore Co rni ng to Springfield in 1906.

He said , he was proud of the Worthington 7.Grange · for foreseeing the need of 'e.recting a memorial to stich a g·reat 1 man as Dr Conwell. In conclusion Mr Je.nks called upon the Grange to carry : on its community service work. Referring to the memorial bowlder in front of which he stood while speaking·, Mr Jenks _characterized its placing and I · dedicatjon last year the best piece of \ community service work throughout , . the state in 1930. · R ev James H. Burckes of Worth- 1 ington, anotber speaker, declared Dr I Conwell's life was rich because he ap- , plied three rules of life, they being : Be , true to yourself, be true to your God, and be true to your native town. "You I need to make footprints-not j and the kind we can see, but special im - , · p1·ints such as Dr Conwell left.'' His · closing remark was, boys and ~iris of Nre hills hav~ a 10 to 1 chance of '· reaching great hi~hts. Clement F . Burr, one of the town's ~ oldest resident then recalled incident.c; tt-at happened in this town before his time as told to him by the old man when he was a Joung man. Leon M.

Al - . thoug h i t was not a steady rain , but came In the form of a series of showe r~, with Indication s that it might clear off Jn time, It was impossibl e to carry ·out the marchin g prog r am, lrnt the rain let up long enough to permit the speaking to be held outside Carnegie , hall on Gothic street instead of at . th e historic spots as planned. The- curtailed -line of march was from the People's Institute on Gothic street, thi:ough Gothic, Court, King, Park and Gothic . streets to the star'ting ·point. The line comprised the drum . corps and battalion of St. Mary's troop of the Catholic Boys' brigade, the ' Doy and Girl Scouts and school ·children. Maj. A. G. Beckmann · wa s marsh al. Much of the speaking was 1 omitted, but the talks of Rev, B. D. Hall on th e site of the first mee ting house, and George Ely on ' th e site of th e Jonathan Edwards house on King street, were given. The speak er s .1were intraduced by W. E . Shannon, chairman of the committe e. R efreshments w ere served to th e children and the particii:,an ts in the parade after the exercises. All those atten c!ing were given mimeogra phed copies of brief summarie s of the history of the several spots · it was planned to visit. Among the features mentioned were the following : King and Main Corner of streets: This was the center of the , tQWn from the coming of the first_ settlers in 16 5 4. This 'fas the site of the First church where the boulder is now located, and was ·known as Meeting House Hill, beIng much higher than at present. {I')le min!ster's house stood at about the present location of the corner of Main and Pleasant streets. The f\rst postoffice was on the site of the First National bank. A brook crossed Main street near Pleasant and another near lower corner of Market the street. These were later covered over and connected with the sewer. Whitney House on King Street: This site was the home of Jonathan Edwards, third minister, and it is said Northamp ton was the 1 ·Qnly town known to England, out- I side of Boston, · because of hi~ books and sermons. There Is a ; tablet to his memory in the cemetery, but he is buried in New Jer....,. where._he died of smallpox. I .. . Oldest house in town : On Bridge street , now owned by Miss Bliss. It was built by Cornet Parsons, whose wife was called a "witch ," and who was acquitted after she w ent to Boston and pleaded her own case before the gen eral court. The house, built in 16 5 9. was first used as an Inn. The firat child born ln Nortbamp ampton was the son of,; Cor.n et Parsons, afterward killed by th e Indians at Northfield . First store in town : Was on the site of the present C. B. Kingsl ey drug store. Across the street was an old tavern, home of General Seth Pomeroy, w)io rode from here to Boston in one day to fight at Bunker Hill, when he was 6 9. Hl11 home was later the site of , the Warn er house, where Lafayette and Kossuth were entertaln_e d, and where the Draper hotel now stands. Old Mansion Hoµse and Canal te'rminal building : About where St. Mary's church now stands was the red tavern In the early days a nd la ter the Mansion House, where many distaingu ished !2,!l.9- -~ _.. r.' - a mong were entertaine d, t ~1'r,m Henry Clay, Daniel W e bster and Rufus Choate, the latter two •wl. ec on op,poslte _sides in • the , Oliver Smith will· case a~ · I he .,, cou rt house. At th e foot of th e ' hill, ne,1r · what is now the corner · of State and Main streets, was the canaf house , the water crossing ,Main street under _th~ arches ot a . bridge, The canal, which g_o t,- its water from the Connectic ut river , was in ,use from .,-1 8 36 to 1847. l The coming of the New Have n I railroad, known as th e Canal road, put th e a ctual ca nal out of business. Tbe first settle rs are be- 1 lieved to have· come In via West I street. · Smith College: Founded by Sophia Sniitb in 18.15. Miss Smith , was a native of Hatfield, and the : home there- is still preserved by the alumnae associatio n of the ; college. ·she first planned to establish the college at Hatfield, but , was persuaded that Northamp ton 'was the "' be ttiir location. The !).aughters of Hatfjeld, she stipulated, should receive free tuition the same as those from North· ampton. The Manse, Prospect street: ·The house of Rev. Solomon Stoddard, which stood here and was un ti! a few years ago a part of ibis house, was one of the fi~st houses built west of the meeting house. It was .built In 1684. ·When . the house was , repaired many ,years ago, a ~oncealed room was chimney, discovere d near the bull t for protection again st the Indians, as this house was outside the old stockade between Pleasant and Hawley streets. The present house was built by Col.

It was in 1825-26 that Pierce studied in the former celebrated Northampton law school, second oldest in the country—Litchfield, Ct., Law school being the oldest. Since Pierce, whose home city is Concord, N. H., left the White House in March, 1857, no New Englander was called to- the Presidency until Calvin Coolidge succeeded Warren G. Harding in 1923. Chester A. Arthur, although born in Vermont, was a citizen of New York when he beeame President, after the death of Garfield. The only other two Presidents from New England were the Adamses, John ane John Q. Adams, father and son. In the 80 years between the inaugural of President Pierce and President Franklin D. Roosevelt, there have been only four Democratic Presidents. A man of de- voutly religious wards church, character, Pres- ident Pierce as a youthful law student, then 21 years of age, is said to have attended the Old First church, which at that time was so large that the new Ed- about to celebrate its 100th anniversary, was being considered. The Northampton School of Law, where Franklin Pierce received the legal training that enabled him in 1827 to return to his native town of Hillsboro, N. H., to begin the practise of law continued with increasing success until the presidential election of 1852, was founded in 1823 by Judge Samuel Howe, who once had been a pupil at the Litchfield Law school, and his former law partner, Elijah H. Mills, a lawyer of extensive practise and 4@ United States senator from Massachusetts, In 1827 Mr. Mills’ law partner, John Hooker Ashmun, was added to the faculty of the school. The prominence of Judge Howe - and of Senator Mills and the great legal ability of Mr. Ashmun gave the school a high reputation, but in the strictest sense it was a private law school. Though at one |/time there was an attendance of 1/40 law students, its average attendance numbered hardly more than 10, and in 1829, when Mr. Ashmun accepted a professorship school in je the Harvard Law Cambridge, the school in Northampton was discontinued. But the very fact that students were so few is in Mr. Pierce’s favor, since he would come into close contact with the celebrated legal minds |already referred to. The method of instruction was unique. The professors read written lectures, of which the students were supposed to take copies. There were also less formal oral lectures, and tne stu- dents recited these. The principles of the common law and of constitutional law were taught at the law school in Litehfield, Conn. So excellent was the Northampton school of law, after the Harvard Law school was opened the complaint was made that some of the students were so attracted by the Northampton school and its brilliant instructors that they forsook Cambridge and went to Northampton, It is said that some of the most brilliant lawyers in Western Massachusetts received their legal training in Northampton. Judge Samuel Howe, son of Dr. Estes Howe of Belchertown, practised law in Worthington for some years, then was appointed a judge of the court of common pleas of Northampton, George P. Ashman was one of the brilliant students of the sehool, with connections in Northampton and Springfield. He served three times in Congress as representative from this valley. t Still another student who brought honor to the Northampton Law school was Emory Washburn, who became governor of Massachusetts, and later was professor of law at Cambridge, After leaying the Northampton Law school, Franklin Pierce continued his legal studies in the law office of Judge Parker ..in Amherst. He was admitted to the bar in 1827 and at once began the practise of law in his native town. In 1883 he was a member of Congress, in 1837 took his seat in the Senate of -the United States, and on March 4, 1853, was inaugurated President of the United States. He died in 1869 at his home in Concord, N. H., which now wants to honor him more highly than hitherto, �Clubwomen of Have Been Fourteenth and Fifteenth Districts Invited to Attend Exhibition in That City on Nov. 11 and 12 By A citing Emily “treasure T.

Mrs. William Moore is in charge of the pageant which will feature these styles of another day at each session of the show. At 4 and 8 o’clock on the first day the pageant will be shown and the final presentation will be given at 3.30 on the second day. . There are some very interesting gowns. One is an elaborate white satin which dates back to the. revolutionary period and which has the distinction of having been worn at a reception in honor of George Washington. This is the property of Mrs. David Wright. It may seem a bit odd even in these modern days for the bride to wear red, but Mrs. Moore has in her collection two very beautiful red gowns which were wedding gowns. There are other wedding gowns, which will be displayed.

The back 150 years and possession of a man oldest doll dates was the prized when it was dis- covered by Miss Fowler. He hated to part with it, because he remembered that he was allowed to hold it and rock it when he had been very, very good. An interesting group is a bridal party which is a hundred years old. The bride is attired in elaborate bridal array and the bridegroom is quite resplendent in a dress suit which is 75 years old. The flower girl in organdy and the bridesmaid in green taffeta complete a very attractive group. Miss Fowler will be in costume and she will be a most interesting hostess. Mrs. Daniel J. Manning is in charge of old coverlets and this collection will attract the interest of many. One of the features of this collection will be the counterpane owned by Mrs. Grace Coolidge. Another very old quilt will be shown which was brought from London and the first block of this quilt was made in Hyde Park. The interesting thing about hobby shows is the bits of historical information which are unearthed. There will be on display a sheet which was woven in colonial days in Springfield. There will be some modern spreads and altogether the collection will be very beautiful. There is not time nor space to describe the collection of antique jewelry, lovely shawls, old glass, fine silver, hand-made rugs, petit point and all of the other interesting treasures which have been gathered together for this outstanding hobby show. It will be necessary to see them to appreciate them. The fine hospitality for which the Northampton Woman’s Club is noted will be extended to all those who visit the display. There are attractive features for every session of the show. The will be the international tea climax which will be the closing feature. Mrs. Albert G. Beckmann, president of the club is in charge of the hostesses for this occasion. The members of the junior department will serve and their gay peasant csotumes will add color to this part of the entertainment. “Mrs. William M.

He spoke of the youthfulness still being shown by some of the older members, mentioning particularly ‘“Grandma”’ Sears and “Hattie’ Hill, as he called them, and remarking how “chipper” they still were. He also spoke of Mrs. Brooks, who provides so many suppers, and supposed she was still as “‘young as the rest.” The church, though a hundred years old, is still young and full of activity and power under a new minister—a great occasion, Rev. Henry Lincoln Bailey ot Longmeadow, secretary of the Massachusetts Association of Con- gregational Churches, said it was a great. thing to have a church colonized in the way Edwards church went out—not because of any church quarrel, but because First church was not big enough for all. The churches decided to “multiply by dividing.” He congratulated the church upon having a ministerit could look up to in more ways than one (the new minister is tall). He congratulated the church upon its hundred years of history and its next century of progress. Rev. Robbins W. Barstow sup- plied the church pulpit so often and almost continuously for many weeks, that he came to be known as pastor pro tempore. Mr. Ames said he had done excellent work and the church could not adequately express its appreciation and thanks. Mr, Barstow wanted the people te “‘remember I am still a part of this church.” He said it was ‘fone of the highest spots in my life that I could in some way try to be of sérvice to you.” He reminded that “I had the great honor of being in some small measure responsible for Mr. Penner being here—-and that was something.” He said he always DAILY “We years of covet ‘for fruitful you “many service for more the cause of God among men, “For and in behalf of the First Baptist church, Eaton B, Freeman, pastor; Helen ©.

He describes this same pastor as a “good old grayhaired smooth-bore preacher, whose with the} discourses never sparkled faintest gleam of a striking or original idea.” He had however, a great attachment to the boys of the Genung family, largely owing to his talent in whittling out “saw-boys,” dulum-like.

Behind the brick block, corner of Bridge and Market streets, is part of a house that the late Christopher Clarke said was, in its oldest part, older than the Parsons house.

It was in the attic here that, a few years ago, was found a deed signed by John Pynchon, the founder of) Springfield.

His correspondence was with the great scientists of his time, including Huxley and Charles Darwin. How often have I wished that all houses bore somewhere, as the Lewis Parsons house bears on its great chimney, their date of erection. And I very much wish that a complete compilation might be made of all 18th century (and older) houses still remaining here. This would be a valuable thing for the D. A, R., Historical society or Forbes library to memorialize. The largest number of these probably would be found on \South, Bridge and Elm streets, layouts that followed the first three Pleasant, King and Mar‘ket, on none of which now remains an original dwelling.

The oldest South _ street houses, with projecting upper story for defense in Indian attack, are the second oldest New England style. Two and a half story frame houses, ‘with roof sloping to the ground floor at the rear. Some of the old houses of this type in Hadley had their doors studded with nails to resist tommyhawks. Very likely that was a style here also. These South street houses must be rich in data that should be saved. The first known building on this street was in 1696; but may have \yeen earlier, as the first bridge across Lickenwater was built years before that. And before the bridge a ford was in use about where the Old South street footbridge is. It would be superfluous here to detail about your beautifui Betty Allen house, but not to rejoice that you have preserved such a fine specimen of a truiy Colonial home. It is also appropriate that this was a Clapp homestead, because those names, Clark, Clapp, Parsons and Strong, are linkea with most of these 18th century homesteads and they have continued a part | of Northampton hfstory throughout On lower Bridge street (said by oldest residents to have altered the least of any _ strect here) the Shephevd and _ Hillman houses are among the oldest, and on upper Bridge, what is left of Rose Tree Inn, the restored Colonial house next it, and the old red house almost at the bridge, which was a tavern and a stopping place of coaches on the Boston and Albany route. Several other Bridge street i pbouses must be a century old— even above “the Plain’’—the sandy, pine-wooded tract behind which was set apart a burying-ground in 1661 and has been so used ever since. Hawley street also has some of the same period, though several of these have been converted into tenements and their generous grounds usurped by short. streets and houses of later date. The Butler house here ‘was considered a very fine mansion. The third New England style were gambrel. roof mansions. These were considered the “highest type of architecture of their time’ and, quietly elegani and truly attractive, were fa-' vored by the aristocracy. This town had seven of these built during the seventeen hundreds. They were called “the seven wonders of Northampton.” Two are still standing--the Hubbard | house on upper’ Bridge street and the Sessions house. Others were the Stoddard (where the Smith chemistry building stands), the Osbornes’, near the corner of King and Main (where the Misses Osborne had a millinery parlor), Deacon Hunt’s, the Dwights’ and Gov. Strong’s. �I am sorry not to find more This reminds me of an anet-|ineirs and other houses here about the John Hubbard house. dote in our family of the first have rather it is overheard, I cannot understand why people use of tomatoes.

His father, Lt. Jonathan, lived 58 years on the first lot before leaving it to a married son to himself move to the upper lot. When he diei in 1738 he left 20 poumds to the town for the support of schools. His son built the present house and also set out the | elms in that section, from which the street takes its name. Northampton is largely indebted to these various Hunts for their interest in beautifying the town and their love of elm trees. A few set out by them still stand, including those about our house on Old South street. ‘ John Hunt’s daughter, Martha, married Judge Henshaw, with which name the house was illustriously associated for 69 years.

It is described as ‘‘a low pbuilding with a wooden. latch and latch-string hanging outside.’ A former boy, Francis Brown, now editor - of - Current History, has written the most authentic life of Hawley. There was a long and bitter quarrel between the cousins, Jo- seph Hawley and Jonathan bd- tween them, including which notes wards. Letters that passed be- Hawley’s manly later apology to Edwards, are of historical importance, It may be interesting to say that some, if not all, of these, as well ag other Hawley documents (Most likely some of them relating to the revolt of the Colonies) were written, | probably, at the same desk on for this paper were made. Not long ago, at that desk, I wrote to a publisher in Boston, who had written to me ‘that her desk had been John Hancock’s. It was interesting, to me, to think of correspondence still passing between Northampton and Boston from those same two deske. In the late seventeen or early ‘eighteen hundreds, several stately houses of the so-called ‘‘Colonial’ style. were built in Northampton. Like houses of similar sort in the South—houses with big . columns, verandas, . high rooms, halls extending through the center from front to rear— these are not “Colonial,” but a fashion influenced by Thomas Jefferson in the first days of the Republic. True Colonial houses in the south and middle states are most often of stone or brick, are low and have small rooms.

Many came on board to inspect the Yankee and photographers took advantage of the arrival to line up members of the crew in various poses despite the pelting rain. Later, Capt. Johnson and drenched Teporters gathered in one. of the cabins to relate the adventures encountered during the 18 months trip. Although the number and variety of the adventures make it difficult to high-light any particular one, Capt. Johnson related with obvious relish a volcano-climbing expedition in the Solomon Islands, in which the Yankee cruised three weeks, During this time, several members of the crew ascended only a few hundred »feet from ‘the tep of Tinikula, an active voleano erupting periodically. Admitting that one reason for the trip was the desire to get “scared”’ and enjoy the after-elfects of the “scare,” Capt.

Reaching a point some distance down the mountain, they turned to see a shewer of boulders cover the spot upon which they only recently stood “It was.a, good thing for us. we got out of there when we did,” chuckled Capt. Johnson. Many Warships Seen War preparations are noticeable in many ports throughout the world, the skipper said. For example, many warships were sighted in Cape Town South Africa, Singapore and other bases. Two weeks were spent in the Cape Town area and the types™ of soldiers ranged from Scots to turbanwearing natives. The Hadley resident, who shot ‘35,000 feet of colored movies, used special underwater apparatus to photograph a sunken warship off Singapore. The Yankee maneuvered 50 close to the scene of the sinking, he said, that lazily rolling mines were visible from the apparatus. Only one section, Zanzibar, was found to be entirely blacked out during the ehtire trip, Johnson reported, although lights in other areas were dimmed considerably, Although the crew had made elaborate preparations for their stay on board, not one boatload of Nazi or Fascist ‘sailors whose ships had gone |; down, was to be seen. Nor were any submarines sighted on the high seas during the trip. |. �194i “In State Tourney Opening Friday is the group from ty Students Given Special Awards 26 Mrs. Warner Honored by High School Personnel June 16—At from with the Pro hammered pupils. merito were poviez, Mary Culver, Schools Hign Sacred Daniels, Faith Dresser, by tificates Mrs. of Warner senatorship included: to the cer- ton, Na- feé tional Student Congress, held in May at Lexington, Ky., to Lucius Merritt, Jr., and Russell Bisbee; degree of ex- cellence for earning 118 points, the largest number of points ever won at this school, to Lucius Merritt, Jr.: oT of h for 75 points, Russell , —~ omen Robert Newell; 44 POS its Nee y restee of merit, Fai Dresser ida.

Murdock of Jacksonville Expected to Start Boiling March 20; Notes Progress in Methods For more than half a century C. A. Murdock of Jacksonville, Vt., has annually tapped the sugar orchard on his has farm yielded and for longer its treasure Methods of than that sap. it Improve Many changes in the mechanical process of making maple sirup and Sugar have taken “place since Mr. Murdock began helping in the making of Vermont’s famous product on the family homestead 64 years ago. When he first began, wooden blocks three feet long and 16 inches in diameter were split in half, hewn out in the center and used to catch the sap as it was conveyed from tree to trough by means of a V-shaped spout. Next came the handmade unpainted wooden buckets larger at the bottom than at the top. Customs then changed and the 12-quart wooden buckets were used painted a bright red inside and out. . These, in turn, were succeeded by the 16-quart wooden bucket painted white intide. Last came the metal bucket which, itself, has gone through several changes as to shape and size. At first covers to prevent dirt and other foreign matter from getting into the sap and clogging the evaporator were of one-quarter inch thick wood the and buckets fastened to the buckets by means of a stiff wire. These again gave way | to the galvanized metal covers. The first spouts were fashioned of elderberry and sumac limbs cut to the desired length and then made into a pipe by pushing out the pith with a hot wire. Later the manufactured wooden spouts with wire hooks were used and were good for several sea| sons if carefully driven into the tree and removed without cracking. Now, | of course, the pressed steel spout and hook combined are used except in orchards that pipe the sap directly into the sugar house. The nails first used to hold place were covers handmade by the in village blacksmith with a head on about the the upper side only. At present, Mr. Murdock has about 3000 wooden and metal buckets with | covers and spouts as well as 2000 feet A team of horses and } of pipe line. truck are used to gather the sap. His largest storage tank holds about 40 barrels; there is one of 20-barrel capacity and several for emergency use. Two evaporators are in constant operation during sugar making time where often 850 gallons of sirup will be made in a single spring. As is the case with most good sugar makers, Mr. Murdock now employs a felt strainer on an improved settling tank. The sirup is put into cans and_ bottles of various sizes and he also makes sake sugar, soft sugar and cream sugar. Recalling some of his experiences many years ago, he told of gathering sap through two feet of snow when no team could be used. Snow shoes, a boat sled and a one-barrel tub were employed. Two years prior to that he boiled sap constantly for 14 days without ever letting the fire out day or night or going to his home. With the improved methods it is now possible to do all the boiling by daylight. Half a century ago it was customary to break open the roads through the sugar orchard a couple of weeks before boiling began; now a team can be driven over most of the orchard without even shoveling. Then he could hire good men for -$16 and board for a month of 26 working days, each day starting at ¥ a. m. and lasting until dark, Four yoke of oxen and two span of horses did the work, which is now accomplished with a _ single pair of horses and a truck.
