Fires Burn Pepacton to Wipe It O ff the Earth inPreparation for a Fifty Million Dollar Flood
Pepacton buildings are torn down, then set afire. This is a photograph of the final destruction of Emmett Bryden’s restaurant, one of the principal business places of the amdemned village which is soon to be covered by the
waters of the Pepacton reservoir. John Burroughs named the lovely mid-section of the East Branch river 4 Pepacton from the Indians. This village took the community name which has been transferred to that of the great pond which
will engulf the valley. Pepacton village dies but its name will live on as the cognomen of the greatest man-made body of potable water in America. Note wrecked dwelling at right rear is in process of destruction.

Junior Class Has Fun In Starting Trip Fund. Saturday night's fair, put on by the Junior plass of the Margaretville central school, turned out to be a huge success. Although no official estimates have been presented, it may easily have provided stiff competition to a circus. Gross take at this one-night stand was $135.
Besides the customary booths and side shows usually found at these affairs, a special attraction consisting of a regular stage show was presented. The show included dramatization of Little Nel’, the Gay Nineties and some muscle- bound lady wrestlers.
One of the popular booths on the floor of the auditorium seemed to have been the place where cus^ tomers threw wet spcmges a t a live head which was sticking out of a hole fashioned in a big cardboard. Inside sources claimed that the fortune teller also did a thriving business.
The charge for this tedr was a sober example in the face of rising prices. The most a person could, spend for any one thing was a nickel. For those who did not want to squander too much, there were booths that entertained for as low as two cents. Refreshments, consisting of hot dogs and cokes, were on hand to satisfy thirsty and hungry customers.
Parents, visitors and students paid five cents when they entered ‘‘the big top’' 8uid in return' received a chit. 'They could purchase any amount of entertainment chits which were presented to the cashier of the various concessions in return for some lively and often imaginative entertainment.
The money that is realized after all expenses are met will go into
