They will be brief and impressive. A county-wide celebration planned by Veterans of Foreign Wars is expected to attract a ca- pacity crowd to Henri's restaurant in East Rockaway tonight.

T0 KEEP EVES ON HOMEAULE Village Officials Pick Special Observers For Convention Interests of Nassau villages will be protected during the constitu- tional convention, which opens at Albany, April 2, 1938, by a special committee from the Nassau Coun- ty Village Officials association which will follow closely all pro- posed constitutional changes af- fecting the village form of govern- ment. 1 On Committee Meeting at Hempstead last night members of the association ap- proved a recommendation of the legislative committee, headed by Mayor Robert E. Patterson of Freeport, for a special committee to \cover\ the convention. Village boards affiliated with the associa- tion will be asked to contribute one year's dues to cover the cost of the committee. Members of the special com- mittee are Mayor Patterson, May- or Henry Waldinger of Valley Stream, president of the associa- tion, Mayor Hamilton Gaddis of Malverne, William L. Cote of Manhasset, Mayor George M. Esta- brook of Hempstead, Howard G. Wilson, former mayor of Lyn- brook, and Harry J. Wellebil of Lynbrook, secretary of the asso- ciation. It is estimated that it will cost approximately $2,400 to keep one member of the committee at Al- bany throughout the convention. The cost is justified, members were told, by information valuable to villages that could be un- covered by this committee. Frank C, Moore of, the village of Kenmore, Erie county, guest speaker, told members of the as- sociation that the \major conflict at the constitutional convention will be between thoe who believe Here's the lucky lady for pen to be nurses at the South munities hospital in Oceanside.

The biggest dispute may result from a recommendation for a mediation board to handle mari- time labor problems. The com- mission said a solution is essen- tial to continued existence of the merchant fleet. Would Develop Ses Airways The other controversial pro- were: That the commission be given responsibility for developing transoceanic air travel. That the ban be lifted: against construction of American ships abroad if saving would result. The commission outlined ite From a grade crossing accident to a hospital.

Sister Tells Winner If that girl will come in and identify herself, we'll give her the two dollars with a smile. That's the only condition of this contest, you know, to come in and show us that you're the one whose head | is inside of the lucky circle. Adrian Norton of 118 Westside avenue, Freeport, was yesterday's winner. He's a worker in the Reingold brewery in Baldwin, and just happened to be on his lunch hour when the crossing accident occurred. He went over to see what was what, and we took his picture. He didn't know it, and when his sister called him up at 11:30 he thought she was kidding. A look at the Review-Star convinced him, however, and he is now $2 richer, That's the way the Lucky Circle tings them. Like lightning, you can't tell when or where it will hit next.

The exhibition opened last night and was attended by a capacity | crowd which kept the \art sullery\ filled from 8 o'clock to 10 o'clock The exhibition will continue tonight and tomorrow night, between the ! same hours, to allow everyone interested to see all the prize winners | of the contest in one group. Spectators at the opening ses-! sion, most of whom were \old | | timers,\ were lavish in their praise | of the prize-winning photos. The | most frequent comment was on { the wonderful preservation of the { photos, some *of which go back to pre-Civil war days. Comments were also heard on the artistic manner in which the photos were displayed. Some spectators discussed the monetary value of the pictures, while others commented on the sentimental and historic value of the real \old time\ photos. Many of the spectators admitted that they were attracted to the ex- hibition by pictures of old familiar scenes that appeared in the paper during the contest. They wanted to see the original photos of scenes | which they had known well, they said. Some of the photos on display were tattered and torn but this seemed to add interest to the spec- tators at the exhibition's premiere, Large photos and small seemed to be of equal interest, it was the historical - or | sentimental value which attracted the spectators. Photos on display are the ones which won prizes during the Re- view-Star Old Photo contest. There are 71 such prize winning pictures in the \gallery.\ Some won daily prizes, other won week- ly and daily awards and there are also the triple winners, photos which won daily prizes and also awards for the week and month.
