Cars Crash on North Main Street Saturday: A car driven by a Masonville [Delaware Co., NY] CCC young man and another driven by a Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY] man collided in North Main street between 1 and 2 o'clock Saturday morning and performed some remarkable gymnastic stunts without injuring the occupants or damaging either car to any extent. As a result Arvid F. Baird, the local driver was arraigned before justice of the Peace R.M. Monroe and after pleading guilty to reckless driving was fined $5 and given a suspended sentence of 30 days in jail. Baird was according to the state police, driving south in north Main street at a speed of about 30 miles an hour and was on the left side of the road when he met a car owned by Edward Rella of the CCC camp and operated by Thomas Novaro, also of the camp, who had borrowed the car to go to a dance. The vehicles side-swiped each other and both drivers lost control. Baird's car was thrown to the left, crossed over the curb and shallow ditch and leaped into the Higler lot, where it came to rest. The car driven by Novaro performed a similar swerve and stopped on the lawn of Mayor Fred Neidlinger. Both cars remained upright and no one was hurt. Baird called the state troopers and the officers, after questioning the men and examining the tire marks of the cars on the highway, arrested Baird and took him before Justice Monroe.

Chosen for Hamilton Freshman Basketball: Walter J. Roider, Jr., of this village [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY], has been given a regular assignment on the freshman basketball team of Hamilton College and is the sole central New York representative on the team. There were thirty candidates who reported for the initial trials last week, of which Coach Mox Weber selected 15 of the most promising players and later in choosing the regular team from this squad, Roider was given the call. Those fifteen players will constitute the court squad of the class of 1939, and will be the only class outfit to receive training regularly by the coaching staff. Coaches Witners and Weber carefully scrutinized the performances of the thirty aspirants as they ran through several scrimmages with each other, and the picked aggregation represents the best natural players. They will participate in the Intra-mural activities besides aiding the varsity to round into shape by scrimmages. Young Roider, who graduated with the class of 1934 at the Bainbridge Central School, did some fine work on the school team during the 1934-5 season, while taking post-graduate work.

Two Small Fires: Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY] firemen answered two alarms during the past week and with hand chemical apparatus succeeded in quelling incipient fires. The first, at 8:30 Saturday night, was at the Jens Olesen farm on the West Bainbridge road, where a chimney burned out. The second, at 6:15 Tuesday evening, called the men to the home of Fay Smith, also on the West Bainbridge road, where the fire had been discovered in a garage building. There was small damages. The rolling apparatus was not taken to either blaze. [Bainbridge News & Republican, Dec. 19, 1935]
In Case of Fire: Fire Chief Evans again desires to call the attention of the public to the fact that the Central Telephone Office is under instructions "not to give information regarding the location of fires," and he requests local residents to refrain from calling central at the sound of the fire siren. These additional calls interfere with the department as in many cases their own calls relative to instructions in handling the fire are held up while the central operator is explaining to the telephone users that she is not permitted to give out this information.

Ernest Newman, of Bainbridge, County and State 4-H Winner, Off to Nat'l Convention: Ernest Newman, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Newman, of the East Side, who was honored at the County 4-H Achievement Day Celebration in Norwich as the most outstanding Chenango 4-H Club boy during the past year, has also been named winning 4-H boy in the state and is now eligible to compete for national honors at the annual convention to be held at Chicago during the first week in December. The national award is to be made for the best 10-year-record which has been kept by the individual 4-H Club worker. Newman is planning to go to Ithaca to meet the New York group and will leave on November 30th in company with other county delegates for the trip by train to Chicago. During the past year young Newman has won unusual honors in the county and state work. At the State Fair in September he exhibited his Guernsey heifer in both the 4-H and open classes, winning the championship in both divisions, a record which had never before been attained. In the open class he had to meet the competition of the choicest cattle of millionaire breeders, and this was the first time in the history of the 4-H Club organization that a member won a championship at the State Fair with an animal of his own breeding. Newman also had the honor of being the only other speaker with Governor Lehman at the dedication of the new 4-H Livestock building at the State Fair grounds. While his record may not be duplicated in some time, it should be an incentive for other boys in their 4-H Club work. [Bainbridge News & Republican, Nov. 21, 1935]
Blue & White, Notes from Bainbridge Central School, Senior Halloween Party: For young, as well as old, the Senior Halloween party afforded thrills. Those who were curious as to what the future held in store for them went to the Gypsy Fortune Teller and, we hope, received ample information. Some, who wanted real excitement, swallowed their fear and entered the Chamber of Horrors. From 7 till 9 the younger children filled the lower halls of the school with all manner of noises. Freaks emerged from the "Beauty Parlor"--masterpieces of a very talented artist. After 9 the halls were suddenly quieted. The dance had begun with an orchestra led by Jim McNeeley. The gym was decorated very appropriately in orange and black. Over the basket at the upper end of the gym shone the harvest moon, making the scene complete. Cider and doughnuts were on hand for refreshing the weary. The dance broke up around 1. The seniors can be sure that everyone had a very enjoyable time that evening.
