MATION Al £ DITORI AL

MOUNTAIN DEW

The Catskills, the world’s best populated summer resort, has many attractions. None brings more people than a record hot svimmer.

traveled roads offer motorists a delightful time to relax.

* • •They also lead to many places.

Oneonta, for instance, can be readied by back roads over New Kingston mountain, over South K ortri^t mountain. East Mere­dith mountain. The road surface is good.

* • *There will be “no' passing”

signs,, “curves” and the like. There will be shade much of the way, cows seeking cool ground under great maples, long vistas of hay fields or cultivated crops.

* • *There will be pleasant-looking

wWte farm houses with green blinds. You would be welcome for a drink of cold milk. There will be overhanging trees and bushes to make the highway seem like a long green tube.

* • *There will be green valleys,

despite the drouth, in plain sight pn one drops down a mountain.

-„ere will be prosperous great red bams, black and white cattle, deer-colored cattle, calico cattle.

• * *The routes are many. They

can be seen on a road map or can be learned from various people in each community who have often traveled them and who will be glad to direct. They are not speed roads. One should cover the speedometer, take it easy, delight in the scenery, forget there is work .to do when the day is over

Andrew Dowie, who lives on the Tremperskill, has an unusual visitor—a doe with four fawns. He noticed the doe some time ago but did not see all the fawns until recently. The doe is skin and bones. The four have pulled het- down. She is so. anxious for vital food that she sometimes comes to the farm and eats calf food.

PLMSANT VALLEY

Cauliflower, one time a great crop in this part of the mountains, brings a top price of $3.25 ^ r crate. But there is little in the market. The hot weather has killed it.

.Five trout, weighing a total of 11% poimds, were taken by Charles .Snyder of ArkviUe, fish­ing in the Delaware at 2 a. m. Sunday. Largest of the fiish, all browns, was a 20-inch monster which weighed 4% pounds. Two of the others went to two pounds each. The smallest were 1% pounds each.

* • •Charles says he used a d ^ fly.

He wouldn’t say where his favorite fishing hole is located.

Opposites are often interesting. In this hottest summer since weather records have been kept, I can cool readers a bit by men­tioning tile time in February many years ago when Ike Merchant froze fast on the ice.

* * * .Ike was an excellent fisherman

and hunter. He went one Febru; ary day, with several companions, to hook suckers through the ice. He hooked and hooked. When he got through he could not get up. He was frozen fast.

This is the bam-buming season. Each year there is a considerable period after haying when barns suddenly take fire, bum quickly. They could not be saved, in most cases if a fire department, with ample water, was on the scene. The entire structure is all afire.

* • *I often wonder, in this age of

mysteries, why some method has not been discovered to save the great mows of hay, said to bum from spontaneous combustion. When the bEirn of a middle-aged or older farmer b _ns, he is ruined.

• • *I may, be high, but my guess is

that 50 barns bum each year in Delaware county. Fifty farm families ruined. This is not a plug for the insurance boys. When bam insurance for $10,000 can be secured for $35 to $70 per year. It’s worth the money to sleep well, if the bam never bums.

The handsome goldfinch is a light hearted summer boarder. A pair of goldfinches come in the spring and take life comfortably for many weeks. They do not have to find early mud and sticks to weave into a nest. They wait for the soft down of the first thistle.

♦ » •The Puritans, not given to

praising lazy and handsome crea­tures,' called goldfinches “ thistle birds” or “wild canaries.”

* • •A goldfinch emd his lady do not

build their home until they can eaisily harvest soft thistle down to line the nest which is built in shrubs from five feet to i!0 above the ground. I havje known them to wait un til August. When thistle blossoms tum to fluff the goldfinches mate, lay eggs and start a family who, like their par­ents, will be dressed in lemon- yellow and black opera dress- coats.

• * •Their song is always live and

in the best of humor. They are apt to sing for a few moments like a canary, then quickly throw in rollicking measures fuU of happy living.

* « *I have heard' one of the birds

sing a modulated carol for a few bars. The next instant he climbs for high C and pours forth a staccato series of trills.

I love to watch goldfinches aroimd the garden or in the fields. Mn “Thistle Bird” pays little at­tention while Mrs. shapes the sea­son’s riest. But he brings food to her while she is brooding. He helps feed the young.

*

There is ample room in this world for beauty and for light hearts. On somber days, it is a joy to see and hear the goldfinch family having so much fun.

SHAVERTOWN

By Leland Titch

Shavertown, Aug. 1The heavy Sullivan county

tructog, such as the fleet of “Manor” poultry trucks, which had regularly used the Beech Hill road, were noticeably absent di­rectly after the opening of the Cat Hollow road. Last week they were all, but a few, using the' Beech Hill road again. Cat Hol­low has not proven to be a satis­factory grade for heavy trucks.

Dr. Jay Frisbee of Andes, usually one pf the first in mat­ters of civic interest, was around measuring the different other so- called short cuts, paralleling the Cat Hollow. We hope his find­ings of last week will lead to the finishing of a better trail, to more effectively serve eastern and northern Delaware county.

Moinuig Fire Destroys Valuable Delhi Bam

An early morning fire complete­ly destroyed'the two-story dairy bam onithe farm of !Mr. and Mrs. Fraiik Garti, located north of Peake’s Brook, Delhi, causing damage estimated by lir . Garti at $20,000. .' Mr. Garti, 46, and his son, Ro­

land, 17, were in the bam milking at 6:30 a. m.

Son Smells Smoke'Roland said, “I had opened the

door on the south end of the stable to let a cow and the bull outside, and as I stepped outside of the bam, i smelled smok&, looked up, and saw flames shooting from imdemeath the rafters and top plate of the bam, and heard sounds like puff-puff as the flames

and smoke belched through the burning boa rds.”

“I then quickly took the milkers from the cows, ^ u t the pump off, and pulled the electric -power switches. Dad started up the stairs to the main floor of the bam to run a large tractor out, but was driven back by the flames.” ,

Mrs. Garti’s first move was to awaken the four younger members of the fanfily. Rose, 8; Frank Jr., 6; John, 4; Anne Marie, 15 months, get them hurriedly Messed and out of the house. Then she col­lected valuable papers and a safe deposit box and put them in a safe place outside.

The fire pond directly in front of the Garti home was completely dry, it being fed only by a spring.
