Letter from Rev. B. /. MsIIott.

Standfordville, N. Y. Dec. "a.
DEAR EEIToR:-I shall have to
ask you to change the address of
my paper from Clinton Corners
to Stanfordville, N. Y. Schultz
vile and vicinity are served by
four rural routes, starting
from Clinton Corners, Stanford
vile, Staatsburg and Rhinebeck.
The recent shaking up of the
rural routes by Mr.. Burleson,
makes it necessary for US to
change routes.
We have had real winter wealth
er here for the last month; in
fact we have had very cold
weather the greater part of the
fall. Last Friday a week found
US in the grip of a genuine biz
zard which tied up trains, block
ed highways and paralyzed traf-
fic in general for a time. The
mercury dropped to twenty be-
low zero, with a northeastern
gale driving at a rapid rate,
characterized by a penetration
which in comparison would make
the Fulton County or westerners
seem a bit milder when we
wound the hills and climbed the
mountains in other days. The
extreme shortage of coal caused
a great deal of suffering in times
especially among the poorer class
es; but there seems to be more
coal in sight at present than at
any time previous.
This Christmas finds our COM
munity with many sad homes.
Our boys from Camp Upton, L.
l., are home for x mas and ac-
cording to the intelligence re-
ceived from their superiors on
their leave taking it will be the
last homecoming until they re-
turn-if it be their good fortune
to return from Europe after the
war. The impending draft is
destined to strike home with tell
ing emphasis, the reality of this
terrible war. Our former, COM
placency may prove an immeas-
ureable detriment asd the abor-
tive name of pacifsm which has
played so largely on many sensi.
tive and peace loving minds may
be conducive to deeper suffer-
ing and greater sacrifices. The
philosophy that cries peace when
there is no pass is a degenerate
and an out law.
Have all the correspondents,
from western Fulton in particu-
lar, gone to war or have they
just gone over? The NEWS is an
indispensable caller Keeping us
in touch with the doings of little
Fulton.
With best wishes for a merry
Christmas, a happy New Year
and a hot Fourth of July, | am
Fraternally,
E. F. MELLoTT.

New Concrete to Rival
Steel in Shipbuilding

Washington. July 9, - \ new con-
crete. one SO light that it will float on
water and yet twice as strong as that
used in ordinary building construc-
tion, has been discovered by experts
of the Emergency Fleet Corporation
working on concrete ship develop
ment. r. J. Wig. head of the concrete
division of the Fleet Corporation. said
yesterday that with this development
the concrete ship would come in di-
rect competition with the steel ship.
The new concrete makes a vessel 20
per cent. lighter than the wooden
ship.
Discovery of a novel coating, the
formula of which is secret, will make
the new concrete ships as durable as
the big steel vessels, in Mr.. Wigs 5
opinion.
