			'''Incorporation is Founded to Preserve the Carnival'''

			The winter carnival almost died last year.

			It was getting toward the end of October and the long time carnival sponsor, the [[Saranac Lake Chamber of Commerce\|Chamber of Commerce]], had announced that it would no longer assume full responsibility for the event.

			The chamber had called two meetings to try to get broader support. Representatives of three organizations turned up at the first, and possibly, eight at the second, and they were not fighting for the honor of running the carnival.

			The chamber board of directors had just about decided that maybe there was no one in Saranac Lake who wanted a Carnival. Just to be sure, though, they called one more meeting. On Oct 21. About 50 persons attended.

			A lifeless discussion was going on when Mrs. [[Barbara Chapin]] shook everyone up a bit by telling them that they had to have a carnival because she had already invited 26 friends. Besides, she had a list of 26 ideas that might help.

			Needless to say, she was almost immediately named chairman of the carnival. With a chairman everyone generated a little enthusiasm and the organization representatives began to volunteer for various phases of the event. The new chairman invited the Volunteers out of the town hall auditorium where they were meeting into Room 6 which was more conducive to the close harmony they were trying to achieve.

			Quite a lot was accomplished in Room 6 that evening and even more on evenings to follow. Mrs. Sue Dyer accepted the chairmanship of the finance committee that night and later became co-chairman of the carnival. Barbara and Sue became pretty well known around town but at the same time became strangers at their home addresses until about four months later.

'''From Tying Flies to Scaling Mountains'''

By [[Bill McLaughlin|BILL MCLAUGHLIN]]

Appearances are deceiving enough these days when males and females blend in a look alike kind of half sex but Sue Dyer who was practically hatched a boy retains her feminine mystique extremely well.

She has hunted rattlesnakes, scaled the highest peaks- competed in pistol and rifle matches, fished the most turbulent streams in the east and cuts her own firewood with a double bitted axe . . . and all because her father, a Pennsylvania forest ranger, brought her up to stand firm on even terms with the posturing, strutting male.

Sue expects to begin teaching the art of tying flies at the North Country Community College in February if enrollment in the course hits the minimum figure requirement. She was born in Dell City, Oklahoma, which is fairly rugged country to begin with but her growing up years were spent in Pennsylvania. She finds the Adirondacks much to her liking and she and her husband Ed Dyer, a State trooper, hope to call Saranac Lake their home for keeps…
