TH E LONG I S L A N D T R A V E L E R GOING TO THE FAIR? HERE'S JUST A HINT OF WHAT YOU'LL SEE Tkra Yon Owi Voice Spcib to yii;YN See TkNcCil Fluh Across COIIMII Would you like to hear your own voice speak to you? \See\ a long dii- tance telephone call flash across th« continent? Hear speech actually cre- ated by a machine? Test your hearing •clentlflcally? At the Now York World's Fair you will be able to do these and other things when you visit the Bell System building there. \Modern magic\ is re- vealed and demonstrated In various ex- hibits especially developed for the great exposition. These exhibits In- clude: \Voice mirror\: This device records your own voice as yon talk over a tele- phone, and then returns It to you through the receiver. Hear your own \audition\: Five visi- tors—perhaps you among them—con- verse In a group, and then rejoin the audience to hear their conversation apparently repeated by mannequins. Long distance demonstration: Free calls are made by visitors chosen at random. These calls are seen and heard speeding to their destinations In vari- ous parts of the country. Their routes are shown by flashing lights on an enormous map. Other lights show how long It takes to make the calls. \Pedro the Voder\: This is an elec- trical device which creates speech— the first machine In the world to do this. Looking like a small old-fashioned organ with a keyboard and pedal, Pedro converses at the direction of a young woman operator. Other exhibits will give visitors op- portunity to test their hearing and also their sensitivity to musical \pitch.\ A model of dial telephone equipment will show how the apparatus handles a dial call. All these exhi()lts are concerned with telephone science and the continued Improvement of communication ser- vice, and are designed to help express the theme of the Fair, \Building the World of Tomorrow.\ District Attorney Mundsr Addresses Southold Town Republican Club (continued from page 1 throughout the county and the coop- eration received from the various po- lice departments was responsible in a large measure to the recent decline In the major crimes throughout Suf- folk County. He declared that only sixteen cases were presented to the Grand Jury by hU office this month and only ten Indictments had been handed down, one of the smallest num- bers since his connection with the of- fice, which dates back eight years. The District Attorney was warm in his praise of County Judge h. Barron Hill as a Judge who handed out se- vere sentences when the crimes com- mitted warranted it and at the same time was compassionate and tolerant when dealing with youths and first of- fenders. In closing, Mr. Munder declared that the District Attorney's office was being run with the greatest economy. Last year the office was run well within the allotment of the budget and this year he expects to hand back approx- imately $2,000 to the Board of Super- visors. Mr. M u n d e r was introduced by Councilor George C. Terry of Southold, who paid glowing tribute to the Dis- trict Attorney in the conduct of his office. Supervisor S. Wentworth Horton ad- dressed the meeting and gave an in- teresting description of the Long Isl- and Exhibit at the World's Fair and told of the plans for Suffolk County Day on June 14th. Mr. Horton was Introduced by Clinton Hommel, pres- ident of the Southold Town Republican Club, who presided at the meeting. Entertainment was furnished by a String Quartette composed of Milton Samuels, Miss Betty Parri.sh, Miss Eliz- abeth Bonnie a n d Walter Williams, who rendered several selections; Mr. Samuel's daughter. Eleanor, played a piano solo and Mr. Lloyd Terry ren- der<3d a beautiful viol solo. Refresh- ments were .served by the young ladies of Orient at the close of the meeting. Birth of a Buainet* The first money ever received for telephone service was twenty dollars paid to Charles Williams on May 80, 1877, by James Emery, both of Boston, for one year's use of two telephone In- struments. As this was before switch- boards were developed, the only con- nections that could be made for these two telephones was between each other. Willlami, who was manufacture Ing the instruments for Alexander Graham Bell, the Inventor, carried the money in his pocket for eight days be- cause, as he said, he \didn't know wbat tq dff witlf It.\ J. V. Kelly to Be Camp Director at Baiting Hollow Suffolk County Boy Scouts will be glad to know that Field Executive Jo- seph V. Kelly, \Uncle Joe\ to those who know him, will be Camp Director at Baiting H o l l o w this year. The Board of Directors of the Council met in the new Mess Hall at Camp last Sunday afternoon and made further grants for the completion of the Mara Hall and its equipment. Camp will open on Sunday, Jul^ 2, immediately following the C o u n c i l Camporee Finals of June 29 to July 1. All Camporee Patrols are invited to remain over several additional days at the close of the Camporee. GINGERBREAD FIGURES In the section of decorative arts, Polish Pavilion.

To visualize the extent of the gnde eliminations in SufTolk County there are upwards of 300 such crossings on state, county and town highways and village streets. Obviously a program designed to meet the approval of the Public Service commission m u s t be based solely on merit If the county is to receive the maximum benefits. To present this situation most effiectively requires a preliminary examination of the crossings for which purpose Mr. Tuthill sought an appropriation of $10,000 a t Monday's meeting of t h e boar d of supervisors at Riverhead. With the possibility of securing several million dollars for such work this sum for preliminary data appears to be modest. Sensing the necessity for prompt ac- tion on account of the demands from all sections of the state Mr. Tuthill, early in February, engaged Roy G. Finch of Albany, former New York State Engineer and Surveyor w h e n that was an elective office, to act as his consultant on this program. Mr. Tuthill believes that with the central agency now set up to deal with this new and important phase of county activity, with much duplication of ef- fort and confusion has been eliminated to the end that the best Interests of the county are served in securing the elimination of dangerous crossing. It is known that W. Kingsland Macy, Republican county leader, is and has been for some time deeply interested in the elimination work, and has held conferences with the Legislators and the supervisors to further the pro- gram. The most recent conference was held last week with George Le- Boutillier, president of the Long Isl- and Rail Road Company, who assured Mr. Macy of his full sympathy with the general elimination program in Suffolk County and pledged his full cooperation.

I., and Bridgeport, Conn., will be resumed on May 5th, 1838. This service, which has, until this season, been continuous the year round, was discontinued last September for t h e winter months. The Bridgeport and Port Jefferson Steamboat Company operates the two steamers, the \Park City\ and \Pris- cilla Alden\ on this route. The com- pany has gone to great expense dur- ing the past winter In reconditioning these steamers and both vessels are in complete conformity with the latest government safety regulations. The 1838 schedule calls for two round trips daily from May Sth to June 30th. at which date the second steamer will be placed in service and the trips in- creased to four each way daily. Ad- ditional trips will be added as neces- sary if the expected traffic to and from the World's Pair on Long Island war- rants them. New Greenport Theatre Neanng Completion The gala opening of the New Oreen- port Theatre is drawing near, and anx- ious movie-goers are eagerly awaiting the opening day, which has definitely been set for Thursday evening, M»y nth, at 8:30. Skilled mechanics are working night and day to insure completion at this early date. The modern heating plant has been Installed and thoroughly test- ed and is now working in conjunction with t h e mammoth air-conditioning system, assuring Oreenport patrons the maximum in comfort throughout the hot summer months and cold winter season. Carpenters, plumbers, electricihns, tile-setters, all are rushing their indi- vidual Jobs, so that everything will be in readiness for the opening. Painters and decorators are working out color- ful combinations. Harmonious blend- ing of tl^e rich hues will render a cozy, comfortable and beautiful atmos- phere. A full carload of the most modern and comfortable theatre chairs yet designed is on the way. These will be installed as soon as scaffolding in the auditorium is removed. The appointments are to be truly luxurious, including every detail neces- sary to insure patrons every possible comfort. One of the special features will be the \Powder Puff Room\ which is a cosmetic rest room designed par- ticularly to please the tastes of the most discriminating of feminine pa- trons. Another feature that will be a g r e a t convenience, particularly to those who like to combine their shop- ping tours with a visit to the movies, is the Check Room. This service will be free to patrons. No expense is being spared to make the New Greenport one of the most beautiful theatres on all of Long Isl- and. Plan now to attend the inaugural show! All Loge seats will be reserved on opening night. Tickets now on sale. Cornerstone to Be Laid Sunday For New Church At Shinnecock Reservation On Sunday April 30th, at 3:30 p.m. (Daylight Saving Time) the corner- stone will be laid for the new church and parish-house on Shinnecock Res- ervation at Southampton. The historic Reservation Church was so badly damaged by the Hurricane on Sep- tember 21, 1938, that it could no long- er be used for worship. The Building Committee, of which Dr. J. Percival Huget is chairman and Rev. Herbert E. Moyer of Bridgehampton, L. I., Treasurer, decided to erect a new church that would be adequate for the religious, educational and recrea- tional needs of the Reservation. At the service on Sunday, Dr. Hu- get, President of the County Council of Churches, will lay the Cornerstone. Dr. Howard Yergln of New York, Pres- ident of the New York State Council of Churches will deliver the address. Pew, if any, of the sununer visitors to the Eastern end of Long Island re- alize that the Shinnecock Indian Res- ervation atfSouthampton is the oldest Reservation in America. In fact, not many of the residents here are in possession of the reservation's inter- esting htetory. The Reservation was s»t up by an exchange of deeds be- tween thf eoJpDists and the original intUan intwi^^nt*. Thi4 (x^hanfe of deeds took placi on Atigusi IX, 1709, and was a legal recognition of obli- gations written in the original docu- ment of December 13, 1640. The first misslonajy JQ Shlnne- iocks was the Rev. Azariah Horton of Southold. Ho was appointed by \The I-irew Yoi-k Correspondents of the So- ciety for the propagation of Christian Knowledge\ in 1741. Support for this work was given by collections from the many \Religious Societies\ in England and ScoUt^nd. Undoubtedly the church was organlaed by the Rev. Horton. He also started a school and petitioned the Missionary Board for a school- master. This teacher was none other than the most famous of American Indian preachers. Rev. Samson Occum. It Is fitting and proper that the white man should erect a suitable House of worship for the last remain- ing Tribe on the Island and do it in 1838, one year before Southampton and Southold will observe the three hundr^th anniversary of the coming of the first settlers. \Shinnecock Day\ will be observed widely in the churchcs of the Island on Sunday, July 2. It is suggested that each adult should contribute at least fifty ccnts and each Sunday School child ten cents for this historic Indian Church. During the week previous to Shinnecock Day, an Historical Pageant, written and direct- ed by Miss Abigail Halsey of South- ampton, will be presented by members of the Tribe. Over ISO Attend Riverhead Republican Club Meeting The Riverhead Republtcan Club had as its guest speaker, last Monday night, Mrs. Bel M. Oxholm of Sayville, who is the National Defense Chairman of the Suffolk County Committee of the America n Legion Auxiliary. This meeting was held in the main dining room of the Hotel Henry Perkina and was attended by over 150 members of the club and their guests. Mrs. Oxholm prooved to be a charm- ing and eloquent speaker. Her topic \In Defense of America,\ depicted the knowledge of a well-informed woman. The ability of the speaker to discuss, in a clear-cut manner, the controvers- ial news of today and the prevailing conditions in this country, made her speech both entertaining and instruct- ive. She spoke in brief of the responsi- bility and power of women in local and national affairs, and urged that the women of America exercise their rights and duties a little more vigor- ously. Also of the vital necessity of electing to office not drones but vi- bran t and energetic representatives. The speaker stressed the fact that the youth of today and tomorrow is going to hava a lot to do with the running the government, and come what may, we have got to keep aware of the trend. The insincerity of some militant mi- norities was touched upon as well as our useless and dangerous aliens. She expressed the hope that something fur- ther would be done towards increasing the education of our naturalized citi- zens. The Cushman Trio. Eleanor, George and Jack, favored with three selections, \Motzart Trio Number 2,\- \Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes\ and \Hun- garian Dance,\ Brahms. Their rendi- tions were excellent and blending in with the atmosphere which seemed to surround the meeting. The Cushman Trio are the daughter and sons of Mr. and Mrs. G e o r g e Cushman of Riverhead. A TRIBUTE Texaco Water White Kerosene At Tank Wagoa Prices E. W. BAKER GREENPORT, N. Y. Phone 614 The following is a tribute to the American Society of Newspaper Edi- tors on the Firestone program. Nat- ional Broadcasting Company Network, April 10th. In the course of our daily lives, few factors influence otur thoughts and ac- tions more profoundly than the news- papers. Freedom of the press is a priceless heritage, guaranteed by the Constitution of the United S t a t e s . Through some ten thousand daily and weekly newspapers, the great forces of education, government, business and the arts are constantly reflected to our one hundred and thirty million people for their enlightenment and entertain- ment. Next week, in Washington, D. C., the American Society of Newspaper Editors is holding its seventeenth an- nual convention. And tonight, Fire- stone pays tribute to those who are en- gaged in this great service of keying al l of us so well informed on t h e course of current events. Through swift and efficient motor delivery systems, tl^; American public receives the Igteet nrws almost before the ink is dry. And Firestone proud to have played an impor^t^ni £9le in the deyelggment or ttili vast delivery vice by building a new tire which is especially engineered for this particu- lar type of operation. Firestone has also developed a new tire for passen- ger use called the Firestone Champion —the tire with the revolutionary hew Safety-Lock Qum-Dipped cord body and amasin* new G3ar-Grlp tread. This remarkable new tire is immeas- urably stronger and provides the maxi- mum in non-skid protection. In fact, car owners everywhere have acclaimed it the safety sensation of 1838. Convinced of its greater safety and longer mileage, motor car manufac- turers eagerly adopted the Firestone Champion as standard equipment on their 1938 models and you cf^n now order your new car equipped with this wonderful new tire. Or you can call on your nearby Firestone Dealer or Firestone A u t o Supply and Service Store and equip your present car with a set of new Firestone Champion Tires —the only tires made that are safety- proved on the speedway for your pro- tection of the highway. CAPITAL, LABOR, UNITE FOR POTTERY EXHIBIT AT NEW YORK WORLD'S PAIR Hailed as one of the most significant documents that ever harmonized cap- ital and labor, a contract has Just been signed for a Joint exhibit at the New York World's Fair. 1888, by the United States Potters Association and the National Brotherhood of Operative Potters. To help their employers In this project the Brotherhood has sub- scribed $30,000 of its long-aecumulat- ing \strike'fund.\ The signatories were: The Associa- tion's iH^sident, W. H. Locke-Ander- son; James H. Duffy, president of the Brotherhood; J o h n McOillivray, the Brotherhood's secretary-treasurer, and Orover A. Whalen, presiding executive of the Fair Corporation. According to' the latter, the exhibit will unite em- ployer and employe for the first time in the history of trade unionism be- hind a single promotional enterprise. Moreover, by emphasizing the qual- ity and workmanship of good American pottery, the exhibit is expected to give tremendous impetus to the industry in this country. Sponsors of the display also believe that it will prompt wide- sprea d legislation favorable to the American potter. The exhibit, costing $105,000, will occupy 8,316 square feet of space in the Home Furnishing Building. It will dramatize not only the story of Amer- ican pottery but also those of native china and other earthenware. Four designers are collaborating on the pro- ject for which both the Brotherhood and the Association are preparing ma- terials in East Liverpool, Ohio, t h e nation's seat of the pottery industry. Plans call for elaborate murals. HK.f. l R BK I n R FO R SALE MELROSE L BOOTH Inturance Main St. Southold. N.
