The dairy is located on a part of the late Patrick C. Dugan farm, east of Al­tamont.

Richard L. Rowley, 12-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. William Row­ley, 141 Maple Ave., Altamont, fell from a' steep clifif in the Helder-bergs last Thursday while on, a camping trip with friends, and was rescued only after a tedious four-hour ordeal by volunteers of the Altamont Fire department.

Rowley suffered a fractured right leg and left wrist, the leg now being1 in traction and the wrist in a cast. His condition at Albany hospital earlier this week was reported as "progressing very nicely." It is expected that the youth will be confined to the hos­pital for at least four or five weeks.

The accident occurred about 4:30 p. m., when the Rowley boy and four friends, all of them 12 -*- Fred Crounse, Altamont; Jeffrey Mar­tin, 962 Madison Ave., Albany; and Michael and Jerry Reilly, 445 Wes­tern Ave., Albany — were atop the cliff moving along a ledge trail. Rowley apparently was reaching to adjust his sleeping bag, which he has placed on the ground, or was trying to stop it from roll­ing when he lost his balance. He plummeted straight down 14 feet before hitting the mountainside, arid then rolled about. 50 feet down a steep incline before. coming to &;,restu.in dense bushes. .He. had fallen with a gallon jug in hand, and his companions reported they heard it break as he fell. Upon arriving a t his- side after rushing down the cliff to his aid, the other! boys said Rowley was still clutch­ing the jug handle in his hand.

Four exhaustive hours elapsed before rescuers were able to bring Richard out to an ambulance. His friends, finding him unable to be moved immediately after fee fall, acted to summon help. Two of the boys walked to th© /home of Mrs. Franklin Townsend where they secured the help, of Mrs. Townsend's granddaughter, Eliza­beth, and Jerry Coogan and Bill Dearstyne. The three went into the woods and wjth an iihprovised stretcher attempted to carry the boy out.

Enlist Firemen's sAid The going was too rough, how­

ever, and they were forced to en­list the help of the local fire de­partment.

In the relatively short span*of eleven years, Altamont dairyman J John Armstrong has built up » | milk business which has recOTtJJ relocated for need of expanded facilities into perhaps the finest set of buildings (and furnishings) of then; type in Albany county.

The Armstrong dairy is located on a part of the former Patrick C. Ttagan farm on the north, swej of Route 146 This property years ago was the Sanford Becket-farm. The house burned 45 year% ago, but the barn buildings were? kept in good repair by Mr Dugan and aie now being utilized as part of the Armstrong dairy equip* ment.

For the first time on the even­ing of Aug 10, in his new loose* housing-milking parlor setup, Ann-strong mdked the upwards of 40 cows necessary to supply over * ton of milk a day consumed bylhej customers on his milk route.

meeting on the green, rolling rrrs and tossing the caber to the tune of the pipes and drums Saturday at the Scottish games, sponsored, by t{ie Schenectady Clan- MacRaef at the Altamont Fairgrounds.

But while "auld acquaintances" were warmly renewed on the sidelines, open rivalry flourished among the several hundred lads and few bonnie lasses competing in the "open" and American pipe contests.

Caber Feidh Pipe Band of To­ronto, Ontario, Canada, was de­clared winner of the "open." Be­sides the $300 first prize, it re­ceived the Gazette trophy for one year as well as the Gazette per­manent 'trophy.
