The Lima Girl Scout troop I have been very busy. We invited the 7th /and 8th Grade. Girl Scout troop of Honeoyo Falls to a Christ­mas party. We all felt that the^ party was a huge success ana? we hope to he able, to do it again sometime this year. , . '.••••

We are very proud of the two girls who earned the highest honor in girl scouting, the Curved Bar. They were Jenny Hayse and "Win­nie Allison. Wo were'very sorry-'to lose one of our best scouts, Winnie Mlison, when she moved to Mary­land.. » .

We made aprons.and place mats for our mothers as Christmas pres­ents and we are now working on making bracelets for ourselves.

I" The complexities <* pfV settling Hungarian refugees in this •coun­try are mirrored hy the situation in Livingston County.;:The: com­mittee set up by the 'board of su­pervisors to help in locating refu­gees has had many offers of aid in assuring-"homes; for. these victims of • communist tyranny.' HoSvever, word has 'been received that Ihe type of refugee n\ost siijted. to this area is not among those v/ho have already entered the country.

Reverdy Wadsworth of Geneseo, chairman of the county committee, notified other members of his com­mittee this week that at present it appears no refugees will be sent, to his county. .; In his letter Mr. Wadsworth ex­plained, that he had a lengthy per­sonal interview with Colonel Jack Dunn, executive director of the "president's committee at Camp Kilmer, where he learned the fol­lowing:' ,• '. '.^•[.:•''[:..-VV;:.\;

,-i.. There are very few- if any farmers at Camp Kilmer. .Those that may' come in' from Hungary will have had ho previous khowl-.. edge of "mechanized" farming— e.g.: tractors, power take-off tools, milking machines, etc. Only those y/ho worked oh "communes," ?.".. government-owned Y\ co-op farms, would have such experience. The individual farmer could not pos­sibly afford modern equipment.

2. There are absolutely no refug­ees available for domestic help.

3. There are absolutely no chil­dren' available for- shelter and or adoption. '

'A'. The vast rnajority of the ref­ugees are skilled factory workers, draughtsmen, tool and die work­ers, scientists, doctors, teachers, and students. Very few speak Eng­lish. '

Mr. .Wadsworth did receive as­surance that any requisitions, gent from this county would receive prompt attention, but, that, there seems little hope they,may be fdled at the present time. "

Edmund F . Moschcau, 39, of 553- where'the road curves slightly to W.

The'^accident occurred just south of (Route 251 (Marin's Corners),

The following information concerning this house comes from Mr. Wood: - !.

Ground was broken for our home in August, 1948, on a ' lot purchased from Francis Parisella. After many trials and tribulations, the last of the eight rooms and the second bath \ were completed just a year ago. • . <; ;.',;'; ••'.'•••<

Our home is doubly satisfying to Mrs. Wood and myself because it represents a labor of love of many yeai-s duration. We. learned one trade after another: while building our home ourselves. Except for nearly all Hiie masonry, part of the -electrical work and some assistance on the roof, we know;' where and how all the parts iit together. Our only problems is in answering questions regarding, the age of the house— we cannot decide whether to say 1948 when it was started, 1956 when it was completed, or some date in between.

J.V. team of L.H.S. pleased Lima basketball fans by wtnnirig Friday-evening here from. Scottsville J . V.s in a hard fought contest, 42-41. High scorer for Lima was Jim-' my O'Dea With 10 points, nearly half from the foul line. Tom and Frank Reynolds did their bit, t he first-named scoring 7 points, and Frank 2. Making 4 points each for Lima were Dave Swartz, Don Whitbourne and Roy Moses. George-Wemett, with total of 9 points, played hard, and took part well in the team play. Munnings was high scorer for Scottsville with a total of 22 points. Scottsville led at the half, 13-12. In the closing period, Lima tied the score several times.

Lima's victory helped to take­away the sting of the dismal work, of the Lima varsity in losing to the Scotts by a one-sided score. Lima fought the Scotts in the^los-ing periods evenly, but it was too> late. Varsity has two games away the coming week: This Friday, Avon there, and Tuesday next, Nunda there. •' .
