This contest is one for the masses. The picture is usually a mass one, and the winner there- fore comes from amongst a crowd of his fellow-men. That's why we gave the $2 to a man in the audi- ence, rather than to a man on the speakers' dais. The testimonial dinner in this case was to District Judge George S. Johnson, who is well known and well liked around Belimore. The dinner was at the American Legion dugout in that village, and the lucky gentleman in the cir- cle, who is probably just as well known and liked, gets our $2 to- day. The winner in the picture that appeared January 20 collected her $2 prize. She is M. G. Boyd, of Pine street, Rockville Centre.

Gray's Father Finds Victims The four were found, lying un- conscious in their bunks, when the father of one of the boys, Joseph Gray, arrived yesterday morning to bring the party back to Free- port. Gray sent Bert Mahler of Bellmore, with whom he made the trip, to get help from scouts in the neighboring cabins, and pulled the victims from their beds.
