The genealogist is he Who traces back the family tree ' In ali its sad adversity, Pride, and shame, and diversity.

Each issue of the Boston Evening Transcript, had two pages of gen- eaiogy, except that the last two columns were fliied with oid poems, parodies, and the stories of the poems. There were notices of Fam- ily Reunions; Records of Swansea; Dekaib Co., Iii. records; Cemetery records, and there was no limit to how far back-finds in Greek Dei- phi; Agassiz meetings, H. S. C. D. made an index.
": Some of whom we have spent days on charts are: Beauchamp (Beecham), Despencer, Lobdell, Ne- ville, Mandeviiie,- Plantagenet, Warrene and many other oid Eng- lish families, which it will give us much satisfaction to find confirmed or denied. Sometimes we wonder if there is anybody living now who knows about these things. Being a genealogist is like being an advan- ced scientist-it is a very ione- some being.

Proper Driving Vision Must Be Maintained
Motor Vehicie Commissioner Clifford J. Fletcher directed atten- tion recentiy to the necessity of maintaining proper driving vision on aii motor vehicles as now pro- ¡vided by law.
The commissioner stated "an amendment to the law, effective September 1, 1947, requires all mo- tor vehicies shaii be equipped with suitable wipers or other device which shail ciear a sufficient area of windshields to provide reason- abie driving vision."
Motorists are urged to comply at once by keeping their windshield devices in good working order.
Freighter Forced on Railroad Tracks to Avoid Crash
A tractor-trailer. known as the M & C, operating out of Buffaio came to a rest on a New York Cen- trai railroad track Sunday morning when a drunken driver forced the machine off the highway, accord- ing to the state police.
The accident took piace a quar- ter of a mile east of Paiatine Bridge. The driver of the tractor-trailer, travelling west, acted 'quickly, went off the road rather than hit the other machine.
While no one was injured in the accident, the machine took down nine guard posts, sheared off a telephone poie and stopped on the tracks. The tractor was badiy dam- aged. -

O-H-M ciub 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 Frie- sians in Otsego County, where they formned the Unadilla Stock Breeders' Association. In 1885, this organi- zation was combined with the New York State Hoistein-Friesian Asso- ciation. Of course, the first Fries- ian cows were brought to New York (then New Netherland) in the ear- iy 1600s by immigrants from Hoii- and. When the Dutch settied Sche- nectady in 1661, they brought Fries- ian cows into the Mohawk valley.
The News article continues: "To- day's O-H-M herds inciude severai that were founded before the turn of the century and many that have been operating for 25 years without the addition of any new femaie stock. It is a farmer-breeder coun- try unadorned by the show piaces of wealthy men, yet rich in the choice' breeding stock that 'big' breeding establishments produce. A cursory giance through the New York Herd Sire Cataiog shows sons of the following well known sires in service in O-H-M herds: Mont- vic -Lochinvor, Sunbeam Pride
Transmitter, Montvic Rag Appie Ajax, Montvic Pathfinder, Montvic Chieftain, Raymondale Ideai Suc- cessor, Montvic Rag Appie Noble- man, Commander Posch, and Dun- ioggin Cross, and, of course, there in fact, are a few of the more prominent herds. x x x We wiii watch the development of this new project with a great deal of inter- est. If it proves successfui, it may weii serve as a model for the or- ganization of other ciub saie service activities in areas of heavy Hoistein population."
The club's present seiiing activi- ties will be confined entirely to reg- istered Hoisteins.
There are 28 county clubs, of the State . Hoistein-Friesian Association, now in operation severai of them, like the O-H-M, covering several counties. However, the News says that the iocai tri-county organiza- tion is the most active and pro- gressive in its saies work deveiop- ment.
Two Fort Piain Area Cows Make Iligi Records
Two registered Hoistein-Friesian cows in the dairy herd of Fred Baer, RD, Fort Piain, have recently com- pieted official production records in herd improvement registry tests, the Hoistein-Friesian Association America, Brattieboro, Vt., announ- of ces.
The highest producer of the two was Valeside Princess De-Koi Inge- borg, with a record of 471 pounds of butterfat and 12,320 pounds of milk. The record was made in 298 days in two milkings daily, at the age of four years, eight months.
The other high producer was Lenroc Dewdrop, which at the age of four years, five months, made 439 pounds of butterfat and 12,646 pounds of milk in 295 days, on two miikings daiiy.
Testing was supervised by Cor- neli university, in cooperation with the Hoistein-Friesian Association of America.
Says Milk Prices Will Go To 22 Cts. a Quart
Richard E. Vanderwood, repre- sentative of the Dairymen's League Co-Operative, predicts another in- crease in miik prices. He said the price would go to 22 cents a quart, with the consumer absorbing the increase.
Retail miik prices have increas- ed three times during the summer months in some iocaiities.

My First Teacher
MY FIRST TEACHER
By S. C. KIMM Herkimer, N. Y.
The year of 1845 was the 100th anniversary year of the New York State Teachers' Association when old pedagogues have been given the privilege-yes even expected to talk and write about the "deestrict" schools of our grandfather's day, when Ilfe was young and our civi- lization was emerging from the
primeval forests,
when
log
houses stood at the four corners of our highways and Dabol's arith- metic, the blue back speller and Kirkham's grammar started the country swaln on the road to learn- ing. When to be able to cipher through the "rule of three" (simple proportion) was considered a great accomplishment, and when the winter terms "he-man" teacher's reputation depended more on phy- sleal prowess than on his social and mental attainments so that he might be able to prevent the big boys from throwing him out of the window on the last day o school.
The Lumberjack's School
It was nearly 100 years ago, to be exact the year 1852, when the lumberjacks of the Curtis Settle- ment of northern Salisbury built the frame school house that still stands three miles north of Saiis- bury Center on the corduroy road to Jerseyfield Lake, 10 miles to the north. The trustees in their annual reports to Albany placed upon lt the value of $275, yet it was one of the best school houses in the town for many years. Eight windows, two on each side, lighted the one room. Three rows of high board benches extended along each side, while a vacant 'space in the middle separated the sexes both in day and Sabbath School and in religious meeting and funerals.
Pupils swept the snow from their feet just inside the door. In the winter term there often were be- tween 40 and 50 pupils crowded into those high board benches. To this school came stalwart young men and teachers who later became successful men in various callings. Rev. B. F. Wood, father of the late Dr. E. H. Wood of Salisbury. brother, Addison Tanner, some of whose children still live in Dolge- ville. One of the best of those old time teachers was Wm. H. Keeler whose immediate ancestors were : neighbors and warm friends.
Baron Steuben, drill master of the Revolutionary war soldiers, Mr. Keeler's mother, Welthy Fuller Keeler, was a noted teacher in the log school houses of the town of Norway.
Boys in the Civil War
From this then new school house went more than 25 boys to fight in the Union armies. Oliver Darling who married Amanda Wood of the town of Ohio, another old time teacher, school trustee In 1859, gave hls life to preserve the Union. Al- bert Fuller, Frank Darling, two Terry boys, Francis Wells, a Com- stock, are some of the boys from that back wods school who are taking their last long sleep beneath the magnolia blossoms of Virginia battlefields. Norway Teachers
Seventy-six years ago one spring day my first school teacher came to our north woods -school from Dalry Hill in the town of Norway. . A little slip of a 16 year old girl almost too refined and too tender hearted to properly discipline the barefoot and unbathed rabble that watched her from behind the big board benches. Her neatness, her refinement, her pleasant eyes and kind sınile were such a contrast to which we had been accustomed that we thought, or at least I did, that an angel had come down from the northern hills to be our teach- er. Alas! one day when everything seemed to have gone wrong she sent me out of doors to get a whip
connection with the Sweet family. Ancestry wanted of Mathias Comp- ton and Catherine Green, thelr marriage date Oct. 30, 1765. Mrs. George M. Powell,

BABBITT, BRADLEY
This information may be helpful with the Babbitts and also may help some Bradleys who may have llved and died in New York state. My line (Francis L., Francis 2, John 3, Ephraim Bradley 4) of Fairfield, Conn. Ephraim. Bradley born 1744 married Damaris Di- mon, Fairfield church record. In 1777 while living in New Fairfield, Conn. they conveyed property in Fairfield, Conn. They were in New Fairfield in the 1790 census.
They, with their son Lloyd (my ancestor) were in the 1800 cen- sus In Fairfield, Vt. Lloyd's re- cord shows that he had been mar- fried about ten ycars.
I did not miss the 1810 census for Fairfield and St. Alhans, Vt .... but I could not find their names.
I think perhaps Lloyd and his family might have lived in New York and died there. I have no re- cord of his death, his marrlage or his wife's name but believe It to be Bennett.
I do have the names of Lloyd's children. In the order I found them written: Dimon (Demon), Si- las, Esther, Bennett, Jeptha born 1802, died 1864, Polly, Abram or Abel, Aaaron born 1804, Sarah, Da- maris.
