The new St. Agnes Church’s edifice is fast taking on definite form. With a favorable autumn and the present pace, all outside work will be complete before cold weather sets in. Brick and masonry is in charge of Thomas Garrigan, who has a competent force of men moving like Trojans toward the finishing goal.

The pastor, Father Cahill, is gratified over the results and cooperation received thus far. He reports that one of the 10×16-foot transept windows, representing the Nativity, has been donated by a wealthy summer sojourner. The mate to this window is titled “The Resurrection.” Four nave windows have already been donated by interested friends.

These windows are the famous Munich glass and are being put in by the Von Gerichen studios of New York City and Munich, Bavaria.

The foundation is being provided for a marble altar, which no doubt some of the good friends of St. Agnes, with means, will present to the parish.

WCTU talks

–

Harry Wade Hicks of the Lake Placid Club gave a very forcible address at the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union convention held in the town hall on Sept. 17. The singing of 300 school children was a pleasing feature of the exercises.

Those who missed the lecture of Miss Lee of Rome, New York, on “Child Welfare” missed a rare treat. She was a fine speaker with her subject deep upon her heart.

Scientific lumbering

–

One of the largest timber cutting projects ever launched in the Adirondacks will begin shortly by Bay Pond Inc. When work is begun on the William G. Rockefeller estate, with 52,000 acres of virgin forest.

Ten miles of track spur, 15 buildings – including homes, stores, office building and railroad station – will be put up. Once underway, the logging activities will be carried on through the year, all work being done in a scientific way.

Cutting will be so planned as not to interfere with the preservation of the old Rockefeller estate as a private preserve and park. No hardwood will be cut and no trees less than 8 inches in diameter at the stump will be taken.
