Peter Dawson, a cabinet maker, was born about 1770, at Linlithgo, near Edinburgh, Scotland, where
his father, James Dawson, lived and died. Was this James a broth- er of William of Glenville? His mother's name was Jenny Drum- mond, and he had two brothers- William, who died in Scotland, though he had reslded for a short time in this country, and Adam, who died young. He married in Scotland, Margaret Selkirk, and emigrated shortly after to New York city, about the year 1800, where he had a married sister, who had pre- ceded him, the wife of a merchant named Lang. Peter Dawson and his wife remained in the city only a few months, and removed to Bar- net, Caledonia County, Vermont, where they resided for many years. They afterwards removed to Derry, N. H. He died in Windham, near Derry, Sept. 4, 1829, aged 59, and his wife died in Methuen, Mass., Feb., 1838, aged 57. They had nine children, all born in Barnet, Vt., who were:

in the Schoharie Militia. There is no record of any member of the Billings Family being in the Scho- harle Militla. Neither does the Census of 1790 show, any Biliings living in the Schoharle area, then a part of Albany County.

Mrs. Gardner suggests that her Billings ancestors were connected with the Sullivan-Clinton Expedi- tion of 1779. That might be, even though they were still living in Massachusetts as there were several New England Regiments including the famous 6th Massachusetts Con- tinental Line Regiment in that ex- pedition. The only way her ances- tors could live in Schoharle and near the Susquehanna River would be along the Charlotte Creek in the vicinity of present day South Wor- cester, Otsego County, N. Y. The Billings Famlly evidently migrated to the Schoharle area after 1790, perhaps the Census of 1800 would locate them there. Paul B. Mattice.

0-H-M Holstein Assn. Has Active Sales Program
A recent issue of the New York Holstein-Friesian News its
has leading article entitled "OHM-A New Sales Organization." The ini- tials refer to the Otsego-Herkimer- Montgomery Holstein Ciub Inc. and the publication comments on the the fact that this organization is most active in the state regarding its salcs organization.
In connection with the foregoing, the News says:
"One County Club is really going into the business and that is the group this article is about. It i the Otsego-Herkimer-Montgomery Holstein Club Inc., located in the heart of America's oldest Holstein section and representing nearly 200 members and around 6,000 register_ ed Holsteins."
The News farther says:
"The O-H-M Holstein Club has gone quite thoroughly into the ques- tion of a sales service. One of the obstacles they feared was a tax sit- uation in connection with profits realized from sales commissions. This matter was discussed with rep- resentatives of the Commissioner of Agriculture and the result of that conference will be the ultimate transformation of their present in- corporated club into a cooperative organization. Their sales service committee, which has worked out the details of the organization, is composed of William McCarthy, club secretary, Cherry Valley; Por- ter Backus, Hartwick Seminary; R. Y. Walrath, East Springfield; Har- old N. Harter, Jordanville; Lee J. Cunningham, Canajoharie, sales
agent."
The club's commissions are 5 per cent to be pald by the seiler. Of this, 1 per cent goes into the club's treasury and 4 per cent to Sales Agent Cunningham to cover his time and expenses. On orders, which come from Adrian Personius, assistant fieldman of the New York State Holstein-Friesian Association, the split is given 3 per cent to the O-H-M club" and 2 per cent to the State association.
The News article refers to the
group of young men who In 1870 started the breeding of Dutch Frle- sians In Otsego County, where they formed the Unadilla Stock Breeders' Association. In 1885, this organi- zation was combined with the New York State Holstein-Friesian Asso- ciation. Of course, the first Frles- ian cows were brought to New York (then New Netherland) in the ear- ly 1600s by Immigrants from Holl- and. When the Dutch settled Sche- nectady in 1661, they brought Frles- ian cows into the Mohawk valley.
The News article continues: "To- day's O-H-M herds include several that were founded before the turn of the century and many that have been operating for 25 years without the addition of any new female stock. It Is a farmer-breeder coun- try unadorned by the show places of wealthy men, yet rich in the cholce . breeding stock that 'big' breeding establishments produce. A cursory glance through the New York Herd Sire Catalog shows sons of the following well known sires in service in O-H-M herds: Mont- vic Lochinvor, Sunbeam Pride Transmitter, Montvic Rag Apple Ajax, Montvic Pathfinder, Montvle- Chieftain, Raymondale Ideal Suc- cessor, Montvic Rag Apple Noble- man, Commander Posch, and Dun- loggin Cross, and, of course, there In fact, are a few of the more prominent herds. x x x We will watch the development of this new project with a great deal of inter- est. If It proves successful, it may well serve as a model for the or- ganization of other club sale service activities In areas of heavy Holstein population."

WHEN A FUSE BLOW'S A
THE two most common causes for a No. 15 fuse to biow are defective cords and overloaded wires that lead to the outlets. Most house wiring was never "engineered" for to- day's many appliances-the wires are too small. When elec- tric traffic gets jammed in these small overloaded wires, a fuse biows. This is a danger signal that the wiring should be made safe to meet your electrical needs.
Never use a fuse larger than No. 15 without the OK. of your electrician.
