Keen rivalry between the two brought out a good crowd from both villages. It -was one of the fastest games -ever staged on the local rink, and the stellar work of players on both outfits kept the big crowd of spec- tators on their toes from the whistle. Sannac opened with a big burst of speed and great team-work that kept Placid on the defensive. Rand, at goal for tbr locals, was kept busy turning away shots from all sides of the box. ^ He was on the job every minute. Sandy Slater, Placid's right de- fense, stopped a hot shot with his liead and was forced to leave the game for several minutes. Ware took his place.

Saumier starred for Saranac in this period. Proolx Tallies Proulx, whose work for Placid stood out all evening, tallied again three minutes after the start of the second, and LaPlante came back with one for the Pon- tiacs that tied the score. In this period several players on both sextets were ruled off the ice for varying periods. Play was fast and furious. With the PLACID MAN HELD IN FORGERY CASE OrviDe Colby Met by Officer as He Steps off Train Here on Retsni from Syracuse As he stepped off the train at Lake Placid station on his return from Syracuse last Friday even- ing, Orville Colby, 21, of Lake Placid was greeted by Officer Cros- sett of the local police force and held for Questioning in connection with a series of bad-check opera- tions in Saranac Lake several weeks ago. Officer Crossett called Chief Thomas Black to the scene, and the Chief gave Colby a thorough grilling on what he knew of the forged checks passed on three Sar- anac Lake merchants. Walter Duffy of Saranac Lake was called by Chief Black and he identified Colby as the man who Malone Business Man, Former Of- , ficer in British Air Force, Tells Kiwanians that Airport Building Lags Behind Aviation Stressing- the need of suitable 1 airports for the continued develop- ment of commercial aviation and ( <tatinsr that Lake Placid will un- j doubtedly have a proper airport even earlier than now appears pos- sible, Leighton S. Bowker of Ma- lone outlined the story of aviation past and present at the weekly meeting of the Kiwanis club of Lake Placid at the Marcy on Wed- nesday. Mr. Bowker, who is secretary of the newly-organized Malone Ki- wanis club, has had years of ex- perience in aviation. He was three years with the Canadian field ar- tillery overseas during the Great War, and was for a year and a half a lieutenant in the British Royal Air force* He was engaged in some of the hottest air fighting of the war and was in the British flight squadron when Immelmav. the great German ace, was shot down He traced in an interesting man- ner the development of air flights from 1500- A. D. to the present time, bringing out that people have always been tempted by the unknown and especially sa by the challenge of the air. Demonstrates with Model With a small model airplane, which he brought to the luncheon table, Mr. Bowker told how travel with heavier-than-air machines was finally made feasible largely through the inventions and work this ex- had passed a bad check in his store* Another store victimized by the check-passer was that of A.

While various troops of Lake Placid boy scouts have been active Mrs. Florence Nokes Is Taken by Death Mrs. Florence Nokes, wife of Floyd Nokes, died at her home on Oneida avenue on Friday of this week, following a long illness. She was thirty-two years of age. The deceased was born at Cha- teaugay, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clark Cook, and spe«t most of her life in that place. She was married thirteen years ago at Burke, N. Y. f and has made her home at Lake Placid for the past five years. Prayers were said at her home by Rev. R, L. Clark on Sunday af- ternoon.

His face was badly cut around the throat and mouth, he was severe Iy bruised, and it was at first thought that his skull was fractured. He was rushed by his father, who lives nearby in the Prunier block, to the Lake Placid general hospital where he was at- tended by Dr. Owens and Dr. Volpert. Everything that medical science! could do was done for the young lad, and it now appears likely that he will recover. His condition Monday night was very serious, but since that time there has been steady improvement. One of the Colby boys also sus- tained injuries in the same acci- dent. The boys, it has been re- ported, were riding upright on the toboggan when the accident oc- curred. Adams and Carter were in the points for the Masonic team while Blinn and Rappely*e were the Club battery. For the Knights of Columbus the battery was O'Haire and Hur- ley and for the Firemen, Crossett and Bennett. There was a fair crowd out for the first two games, and the spec- tators were treated to a high-class exhibition of the indoor pastime. Francis Madden handled the indi- cator. The line-ups of the teams were as follows: Masons: Ford, Feldstein, Adams, Carter, Bennett, Kane, and Ken nedy. Club: Blinn, Rappelye, Pettit, McKenzie, Martin, Boulrice, Broad.

He traced in an interesting man-ner the development of air flightsfrom 1500- A. D. to the presenttime, bringing out that peoplehave always been tempted by theunknown and especially sa by thechallenge of the air.

which he brought to the luncheontable, Mr. Bowker told how travelwith heavier-than-air machineswas finally made feasible largelythrough the inventions and work
