IS Fw Tflw Aacdone<»^ Offm ‘m g e For Safe” At Aroia Saturday Community’s Buildii^ Go On Block For B i£; Must Be Removed Soon The village of Arena is to be s(dd a t auction! There have been many auctions in this vfdley as residents moved out of the territory to be filled by tiie waters of the Pepacton reservoir. But this is the. first Hmg a village has been sold. In- cluded in thesale will be 20 dwel- lings, bai;n8, silos, garages and the like. The sale of an entire commu- nity at auction is a most unusual affair. The selling will begin tomorrow, Saturday, at 1 o’clock in Arena. The buildings will be < ^n for inspection from 8 to 12 in the foreiKX>ri. The sale is being held by the Schutt Construction Co. Their contract to grub the area gives them possession of all building, timbers, or other real estate in the part of the valley in which they operate. Tlie buildings sold are to be moved from the land ovmed by the New York Board of Water Supply. The Schutt' company marked the Old of its operations in the lower end of the reservoir Sat- urday night in a literal blaze of ^ory. The only building remaining in the former hamlet of Pepacton bad been the 13-room Herbert Shaver house which Schutt u s^ as a headquarters. After remov- ing'its office equUnjKnt and siq>- plies, canceling its insurance and uf ■ taking other precautions, Schutt (rfBdals fired the structure at 11:40 p. m. Saturday. In half an hour the house had been con- sumed by flames. Sixty persons, including offi- c ii at ttiecompany, were on hand fra* the bundng. There were no firemen nor apparatus pres- ent, because &ere were no other tMiii^ngs or ^ e ta ^ to to whidi .the fire could qpread. Coorses in Driver Traiidag Margaretville central school again expects to b^aHle to offer courses in driver training. It is expected that the school will have a car available, although under different terms than previous years. In former years the dealer retained the titie of the car, paid the license fee, and the insurance. He lent the car to the school for the sake of the advertising value. For the last several years this arrangement has ' resulted in financial loss to any dealer co- operating. This year no local dealer could consider such a {dan in view of the car market. Be- cause of the school’s necessity for a hand shift, the value of the car a year old was far bdow what the dealer could receive for the second hand car. Thin year in line with other dealers and schools in the vicinity, an arrang^ent has been worked out whereby the scixxil buys the « 9 r outright for a nominal sum, about 10 pac cent of the adver- tised purcdiase price. The school furnishes the license, $1, for a school vehicle, and p a ^ the in- surance. The school is also to maintain the car in good repair. At the end of the year the car will be sold back to the dealer for another nominal sum. In additkm to being used for school supervised classes in driver training this car will be used for adult driver training classes. These adult classes receive state aid for each person taking the course. Delaware County Gets $52,664 In State Aid Towns and villages in D ^w are county have been sept chec totaling $52,664.67, r^oresmting their share of the second quar- terly installment for slate aid.

The sale is being held by the Schutt Construction Co. Their contract to grub the area gives them possession of all building, timbers, or other real estate in the part of the valley in which they operate.

Tlie buildings sold are to be moved from the land ovmed by the New York Board of Water Supply.

The Schutt' company marked the Old of its operations in the lower end of the reservoir Sat­urday night in a literal blaze of ^ory.

Sixty persons, including offi­c i i at ttiecompany, were on hand fra* the bundng. There were no firemen nor apparatus pres­ent, because &ere were no other tMiii^ngs or ^ e ta ^ to to whidi .the fire could qpread.

Coorses in Driver TraiidagMargaretville central school

again expects to b^aHle to offer courses in driver training. I t is expected that the school will have a car available, although under different terms than previous years. In former years the dealer retained the titie of the car, paid the license fee, and the insurance. He lent the car to the school for the sake of the advertising value. For the last several years this arrangement has ' resulted in financial loss to any dealer co­operating. This year no local dealer could consider such a {dan in view of the car market. Be­cause of the school’s necessity for a hand shift, the value of the car a year old was far bdow what the dealer could receive for the second hand car.

Thin year in line with other dealers and schools in the vicinity, an a rran g ^en t has been worked out whereby the scixxil buys the «9 r outright for a nominal sum, about 10 pac cent of the adver­tised purcdiase price. The school furnishes the license, $1, for a school vehicle, and p a ^ the in­surance. The school is also to maintain the car in good repair. At the end of the year the car will be sold back to the dealer for another nominal sum.

In additkm to being used for school supervised classes in driver training this car will be used for adult driver training classes. These adult classes receive state aid for each person taking the course.

Mr. Kelly had started out shortiy before 5 a. m. Friday to bring his coWs for milking. The, bull was pastured iit th^ same field. Mr. Kelly carried a pitch­fork, because the bull had made threatening advances before, but usually a touch of the pitchfork was encHigh to subdue him.

This time, however, the bull at­tacked, and though Kelly at­tempted to ward him off with the forl^ both were lifted into the air by the animal’s fury and thrown to the ground. Hien the bull continued to pummel Mr. Kelly as he lay on the groimd, turning him over and over among the stones of the field' and against a stone fence. Then, apparently be­lieving his victim dead, the bull went away.

When Mr. Kelly had not re­turned by 6, his mother, ll|)s. Lillian Kelly, set out to look* for him. She foimd her son lying in the field unable to m o ^ Return­ing to the Kelly house, Mrs. i^ ly called her granddaughter, Esther, to help bring the victim to tiie house.

Dr. Donald Gibbs was called and dressed the victim’s wounds, which covered his entire body. Saturday, Mr. Kelly was taken by ambulance to Maigaretville hos­pital, where x-rays disdosed five brdcen ribs.
