Use of Field Opposed For Traveling Circuses

The M argaretville village board went on record as opposing the use of the village ball field area as the site for a traveling show, circus or similar group which would remeiin overnight. The board cited state sanitary and sewage directives in approving the motion, but also feared damage to the turf, which was rebuilt this spring.

A building perm it to construct a garage on Academy street was granted Fred McCumber. Floyd P. Stevens and Carl Dobsa were ai^roved by the board for mem­bership in the Margaretville 'fire department.

On EDis LotCost Expected to Reach$70,000; Part of ThisWlil Be Raised Here

Before the end of this month, members of the Sacred H eart church in ArkvLlle will complete a campaign to raise $15,000 toward the new parish chui:ch which wiU be built in M argaret­ville, according to Rev. W alter T.Bums, pastor.

Established in June, 1920, when. _ Scouts wmost of the Catoolics of the ^ hlived in Arkville, Sacred H eart church has experienced a steady growth during the 34 years of its existence and now numbers al­most 150 families. This figure includes the Catholic families who are served in Fleischmsuins amd Andes where mass is said reg­ularly. The old church in Ark­ville is definitely outgrown.

The site of' the new church is well known to residents of this area. I t is the former Ellis prop­erty, located a t the com er of Main and Academy streets. The old residence, which has been a landmark in Margaretville, will be retained, but it will be moved to the rear and will face Acad­emy street. The new church will face Main street. ‘

Although a sketch of the new church is not ready for publica­tion, it is understood that the building will be modified Gothic in style and wiU be faced with brick. I t will have a seating ca­pacity in excess of 250 people and will be large enough to serve the parish for many years. I t will be an attractive addition to the village,^

IndianRelicsFound Near Art Colony

On Saturday afternoon, June 26, the Delaware County Histori­cal association heard a progreun based on the early Indian occu­pants of Arkville, and the Ja te r colony of artists who lived and worked there for many summers. The association fefels deeply in­debted to the two guest speakers, who traveled many miles and graciously gave their time to make the meeting such a success.

A ttorney Ralph S. Ives of Rox- bury, who has made an exhaustive study of the Indian lore and archeology of the locality, spoke on his exploration of the Arkville ■shelter and what it revealed of the history and habits of< the aborigi­nal occupants of the region. He illiistrated his talk with pottery fragments and primitive tools from his collection of artifacts found a t Arkville.

Dr. Emerson C. Kelly came from Albany to speak on the lifeand work of J. Francis Mun>hy,

Tlie opening of active solicitation will take place on Sunday, July 25. I t is believed tha t the campaign can virtually be completed in one day. The goal of $15,000 will not, of

course, cover the cost of the the church structure, which, it is believed, will cost between $60,- 000 and $70,000. Together with funds that are sdready available, however, it will be possible to proceed with the building with a minimum amount of debt.

M udi of the equipment of the old church will be used in the new diurch. The present altars and statues, particularly, will be used.

Jacques Segal yisits Parents for Breakfast; Flies Home for Lunch

Weekend commuting by air be­tween MargaretviUe and New York city was started Tuesday by Jacques Segal, who paid a flying visit to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sylvan Segal, at* their summer home in Arkville. He was ac­companied by his brother. Sylvan Jr.

Although it took them only an hour from New York, the fliers were delayed 20 minutes tryA g to signal their parents from the air before proceeding to the land­ing field a t Rosa’s flat. They put their new gray and blue Cub down long enough to have break­fast with their parents, who met them at the field, then took off a t noon again for New York via Teterboro, N. J., a ir^ r t .

Jacques Segal, who holds a private pilot’s license, expects to commute to 'A rkville each week­end during the summer if the weather is favorable.

Ten years ago ’The News pre­dicted that commuting by airplane or helicopter between the moun­tains and New York would be a common thing. Mr. Segal may be the first to prove tha t this ig not impossible.

Already several Sullivan county resorts are served by helicopters which capy vacationers far above the traffic snarls of route 17. A sim ilar service could be extended to this part of the Catskills, if it proves successful in other areas.

A flying dub was organized in Mai’garetvllle several years ago and was enthusiastically received. However, the club was dissolved last year and its plane sold when it berame impractical to continue.

Mr. Segal reports th a t it takes him longer to travel on the sur­face between Teterboro and Man­hattan than it does to fly frcHn Teterboro to M argaretville, al­though the la tte r distance is sev­eral ,tinies as great.

Town Board OK’s Plans For 1955 Erwin Work

Boom in CatddllsThe New York Herald-Tribune

contained an editorial “Catskill Prospects,” Monday of much in­terest to folks who live in these delightful Catskills. The editorial follows:

“The Catskill Mountains, it ap - . — ------------ -------------pears, are about to enjoy a boom. i and Mrs. Shultis returned there The beneficent Thruway, bringing Saturday after spending a week change and prosperity to all it touches, is expected to do its bit here too. And if it is objected by some that a boom is the last thing the Catskills need, the best reply is that this will be a boom unlike anything seen before in these historic reaches.

“The Hudson Valley has under­gone a number of transformations since the Catskills came to gen­eral notice under the of Washington Irving’s stories. I t was very different a hundred years ago, when pilgrims traveled to Tarrytown to see the grand old m an and the Hudson River school of painting was in its bright in­fancy; when Bryant’s poems and Curtis’ essays expressed the very spirit of the age, and N. P. Willis was discovering, most treason­ably, rival landscapes on the new line of the Erie. I t was different in another way toward the end of the century, when the Catskill Mountain House was a cosmopoli­tan center tmd the automobile was on the eve of attem pting the fearsome climb up Kaaterskill Clove—only to be compared with the road through Crawford’s Notch in the White Mountains, beside which teams of dray horses waited.

Housing pi:6j- ects wUl take the place of the resort hotels of the past. And a program of modernization is under way on which it is estimated tha t $2 million has been spent this year. There is no doubt about it; motorists on the Thruway are go­ing to see something new in the Catskills. The question to be asked, perhaps, is what Rip Van Winkle thinks of his mountains

State Corps Begins Survey of Main Street, May Widen

Sewer Contract Letting Expected in August, Work May Begin Soon

A st^te corps began work Wed­nesday making a preliminapr survey of M argaret\alle’s Main street from the lower end of the village to the bank comer. H ie survey is expect^ to be the first step in the proposed widening of the street.

No state survey of the street has been made since the mid- 1930’s. A final survey made then has become obsolete be­cause of changes in the village. Crews from the Bureau of W ater Supply have been making sur­veys of the village for more than a year in connection with the sewer line which will be laid shortly.

The state has been anxious for a long time to widen Main street and cut the bottleneck which im­pedes the flow of traffic on routes 28 and 30. The street narrows from a 34-foot width a t the cor­ner of W alnut street to 26 feet in front of the postoffice. Des­pite parking regulations, traffic can usually move in only one di­rection a t a time.

One of the delays, however, has been New York city’s intention to sewer the village. The state has been urging the city to under­take this work on Main street as soon as possible, so tha t work could proceed on the widening.

A preliminary map of the sewer mains has been drawn, and

copy tum ed over to W alter Odell, Margaretville w ater super­intendent. I t has been expected th a t the d ty will grant the con­tract for the Main street portion of the sewer in August‘and th a t work will beunderway by fall.

’The state has also made a sur­vey jof a route which would carry highway 28 over the old D and N railroad bed, bypassing the busi­est section of the vOlage. Tliia eventually is not likely to affect the sta te’s plans to widen Main .stre :^

nK>oiicia is an excdlent ample at w hat can be d<me by well-planned widening of its main thoroughfare. Since th a t work was completed nearly four years ago, business in Phoenicia has improved considerably and the town has a cleaner, more a t­tractive appearance.

MaxgaretriSe-Andes CuIIm Play t( Six-Lming

l l ie Margaretville and Andes Cub Scout ban teams fought to a six-inning tie, 8-8, in their first game of the season a t the Mar­garetville school field Friday eve­ning.
