THE LAST NIGHT OF BALLYHOO takes place in Atlanta, Georgia, in December of 1939. Gone with the Wind is having its world premiere, and Hitler is invading Poland, but Atlanta’s elitist German Jews are much more concerned with who is going to Ballyhoo, the social event of the season. Events take several unexpected turns as the characters face where they come from and are forced to deal with who they really are. A6 • Friday, November 07, 2008 PUTNAM VILLAGER

BY MATT SANDERSON VILLAGER STAFF WRITER DANIELSON — Veterans who fought wars abroad or worked stateside were recognized at the Historical and Genealogical Society last Saturday afternoon, Nov. 1. Approximately 70 visitors, including approximately 40 veterans from World War II to present, filled 196 Main St. to share their memories with one another and what it was like while serving their country. Clifford C. Soucy, vice president of the Historical and Genealogical Society, had vet- erans sign a book that will be archived at the society. Along with the help of Historical Society members, Soucy helped print out appreciation citations during the ceremony, individualize them and hand them out to every veteran present. “I covered every branch and every veteran as long as they were under honorable condi- tions,” said Soucy, who is a retired sergeant first class of the Army National Guard. “I thought the program went well. I saw some tears of happiness.” Ernest G. Salvis, of Danielson, spoke to the audience about his time served in the Navy from December 1944 to June 1946 overseas in Hawaii. He showed several photo albums and newspaper clippings from his time onboard his Navy vessel. Salvis is a retired petty offi- cer, third class, as well as a carpenter’s mate. He said on any given day on the ocean, most of his time was spent waiting in the “chow line” with other officers and shipmates waiting to eat. “I carried that photo album throughout the war in my C bag,” he said. He is currently the color guard and chap- lain at the VFW in Putnam. Sherri Vogt, 50th District candidate from Brooklyn, said that telling younger genera- tions about a veteran’s stories and medals earned is a blessing of passing along a sol- dier’s tradition. Vogt served in the Army from 1986 to 1991. “My family’s pride made me serve,” she said.
