APPEAL OF KELLY CASE IN COURT TODAY District Attorney Harold E. So- den of this village will be in Al- bany on Friday to represent th-e state in an appeal of the convic- tion of Thomas Kelly, former game gea of burglary, third degree, and three counts of petty lan>eny. A jury found Kelly guilty in Es- sex county court last fall and his case wa& appealed thru his attor- ney, Samiei Levy of Schenectady. ,The case is being tried in the ap- pellate division. Kelly was charged with taking outboard motors and other articles from boathouses and camp3 while he was employed by '• the state as a game protector. j and brought the points up to 9-6. Placid fans, stimulated by this flurry, left the stands at the half with a \maybe\ look in their eyes and the promise of a fast second half. But the third period proved a repetition of the first, the Lakers taking command and boosting tbe score to 15-9 before the Bombers again got into formation, A basket by Billy Meyers broke the lull in ? ourth period, and the game was suddenly thrown wide-open, when underhand toss from near the foul line that found the net as neat as a pin. A few plays later Billy Hurley, with a high arched throw from centor court peated to tie the count at 15-ali.

The Blue team, led by Billy Ho- vey who won both the downhill and slalom, topped the Rtanding with a total time of 688.4 seconds, while Saranac Lake high was second with 716.5 seconds. Mt. Pleasant high school of Schenectady was third with 732.6 seconds and Nott Ter- race high, also of Schenectady, fourth with 930.6 seconds. The locals piled up a big lead n the opening event, the downhill race. With Hovey first, Prime third, Wilson fourth, and Roland sixth there seemed little doubt as to the winner of the meet. But in the slalom event, held Sat- urday afternoon, they lost consid- erable ground, the event team title going to Saranac Lake. Hovty again WOP, with a very neat run of 96.1 seeosds.

The blackout will be of 15 minutes duration, and will be observed thru the towns of Westport, Elizabeth town, Essex, Willsboro, Lewis, Chester&ekl Jay, Wilmington, St. Axmand, Keerie, North Elba and Newcomb. All air raid protection services here and ia the county are being; perfected for handling blackouts and Wednesday's experience will be a true test of its organization. Report centers in each town will be manned and all air raid wardens, hm and police department personnel will be on duty with the regular and emergency medical servkes of the county standing by, j The Essex County defense coun- ; cil urges that all citizens make ev- I ery effort to observe common : sense rules governing the first test I blackouts which have been widely publicised and have been distribut- ed thru handbills by the air raid wardens in their respective neigh- borhoods. As the noise of the siren ordin- arily used for the alarm of fire does not carry into some localities it will be necessary to use auxil- iary signals to notify the people when to put out their lights or cov- er their windows so that no light emerges and can be detected by the patrolling spotters who are ap- pointed to report any disobeyance of rules.

The season on mink has been in effect ince November 5 and Department spokesmen said that in their opin- on it had been below the average )f the last few years.Likewise, they haracterized the muskrat season definitely affected by drought cmditions. The beaver season will get un- der way Sunday, and continue campus. Boys of all ages are urged to enter the meet, as the competi- tors will be divided into Class A, B and C. An added attraction will be ex- hibition jumping by Terger Tokle, generally conceded the nation's No. 1 jumper and Arthur Itev.'in, local artist, and the former's chief threat. The friendly but nip-and- tuck competition between these two young stars has been keenly fol- lowed by sports fans throughout the nation during' the season now coming to a close. A silver cup will be awarded the winner e£ the schoolboy meet and medals to the second and third place winners. It is hoped suffi- cient interest will be aroused to make this an annual event, There will be no admission fee but a col- lection will be taken to pay for cups and medals.
