MysHvec Senten^ d to Die The Wee.»of June 11 Board of Supervisors \Nominate'' Tuthill As Superintendent Of Highways At a special meeting of the Board of Supervisors at Rlverhead last Friday, Harry T. Tuthill was again nominated as county superintendent of highways for a four-year term. The board has been nominating and appointing Mr. Tuthill off and on since last June. The first appointment was blocked by a court action which turned out in fa- vor of Herman F. Bishop, Democrat, who held the offlce of Superintendent of Highways until January 17th, of this year. It was the Inadvertent use of the word \appoint\ in a resolution adopted by the Board of Supervisors on Febru- ary 27th naming Mr. Tuthill for the position as Superintendent that made necessary the calling of the .special meeting last Friday. The State Civil Service Commission, which on Febru- ary 23rd, had notified the board that it might nominate for non-competitive promotion one of the three persons court then directed Sheriff Jacob S.

Surf Club Holds April Meeting The East End Surf Fishing Club and Fresh Water Unit held their regular monthly meeting at L i n k ' s Old Oak Hotel, Patchogue, on April 13. The club went on record as opposing the proposed bill to split hunting and fish- ing licenses on the ground that the in- come of the Conservation Department would be materially reduced. They further opposed the proposed amend- ment of the recently enacted Lupton bill, which sets the striped bass s i z e limit at 16 inches. The p r o p o s e d amendment would permit fish legally taken in other States to be sold in this State. This would penalize the Long Island fi.sherman, and defeat the purpose of the bill. Myron Mitchell, educational director of the Suffolk County Mosquito Com-, mission, addressed the meeting on the subject, \Man vs. Insects.\ In a well prepared address Mr. M i t c h e l l pic- tured the eternal warfare against in- sects, and showed the economic effect of t h e i r ravages. Exclusive of the human life loss, which can not be measured in dollars, insects cost the United States two and one-half bil- lion dollars per year. The annual Ladies' Night will be held at Canoe Place Inn on Saturday evening, May 6. Charles Altenklrch, general chairman, has announced that $200 worth of door prizes would be distributed to the ladies.

And that's the reason for this story. The New York State Hor- ticultural Society Is compiling a list of New York State farms which have been in toe\ ownership of one family for 100 years or more and has request- ed farmers to help them. Among the native Long Island names like Tuthill, Raynor, Hawkins, Ketch- am or Pearsall there must be families who have held farms In their posses- sion for a century or two. Suffolk County was settled first in 1640, both Southold and Southampton T o w n s claiming the priority, and has been largely a farming center since t h a t time. Farmers who claim the distinction of family ownership of farms for 100 yeai-s or longer are requested to write to Director H. B.

Charles Henry Smith Former Supervisor Charles Henry Smith of Shelter Island passed away Saturday morning at his home after an Illness of over a year. Mr. Smith had Just risen from the breakfast table when he was stricken and died in a few minutes. Mr. Smith was widely known all over Suffolk County having served the town as supervisor for a period of nearly twenty years. Always a loyal Demo- crat he was flrst elected to the super- vlsorshlp In 1913 and served continu- ously for fifteen years making a bril- liant record and serving several times as chairman of the board. In 1932, he was returned to offlce but he retired from politics in 1934 to devote himself to his large farm. He was also active on the Suffolk County Fair Board of Directors for many years and had be- come known in county farming circles as a highly successful potato farmer. He was born on Shelter Island on June 22nd, 1860. the only child of the late Captain Charles H. and Sarah Manwaring Smith. He was twice mar- ried, his first wife being Miss Adelaide Beebe. Funeral services for Mr. Smito were held on Tuesday afternoon. His sec- ond wife, Mrs. Florence Wade Smito, one son, Albert R, Smito and three grandchildren, Charles A. of River- head and Richard and Adelaide Smith of Shelter Island survive. and friends on the subject \Lamps of the Day and the Night.\ Mr. Elmer is well known to Southold audiences but never has he been heard to finer advantage than in his excel- lent address on Astronomy before the Institute. He was introduced to the audience by President Alvah B. Gold- smith. who enlarged upon Mi\ Elmer's standing In astronomlc.il circles, upon Ills interest and inspiration to Custer Institute, and upon his familiarity, not only with astronomy, but with every allied science. In his opening remarks, Mr. Elmer t.hanked the President for the spirit of hl.^ Introduction, and briefly paid his respects to Custer In.stltute. He stated at the outset of his address that he would u.se no technical terms which might make any undue demands upon the vocabularies of lay listeners, and he adhered to his promise throughout his address. He talked briefly about the earth and its sister planets; about the sun and its s i s t e r suns in our galaxy; and then took his listeners 'n fancy out Into the vast reaches of space to a brief consideration of the vast distances, the Incomparable ex- penses and the altogether incompre- hensible temperatures, densities a n d tenuities to be found in various suns and nebulae in distant .space. On occasion the speaker brought some of the conditions found by astronomers home to his listeners In homely illu- strations which made them more un- derstandable, as for example when he was speaking of the tenuousness found in some of the nebulae. He stated that the gases there were so rare that, to procure a comparable situation, we should have to expand the gas to be found in the lungs of a fly so that it would fill Pennsylvania Station. Following his address, the speaker paused while preparations were made to show a few sdected slides to illu- strate some of the points he had made. The question and answer period fol- lowing the showing of the slides kept the interest high until the speaker hlKnself annoiinced that reireshments were ready and that, for that reason, the period must necessarily end. Mr. Elmer was warmly applauded at the conclusion of his remarks. The af- fair was one of the high points of the Institute's season, and there is a live- ly demand on the part of all who were present to have another talk by Mr. Elmer when it can be arranged. There will be but one more public meeting of the current season. Ar- rangements are now being made for an outside speaker; the committee ex- pects to announce Its plans In the near future.

It would appear that the salary of Mr. Skinner would be approximate'ly $3,000 per yeai- from an appropriation lecently made by the board of Super- visors of $1800 to compensate the new clerk for the balance of the fiscal year. The appropriation was made at the re- quest of Justice Swezey who has the power bo set the salaries of court at- taches.
