Feasibility of Having Old Home Day
Is Being Discussed

The feasibility of having Old Home
day or week this year is under dis
cussion. AS this is the 150th ami
versary of the granting of the town
charter by New York state it seems
doubly appropriate to consider such an
occasion as the governor has asked
