Y., THURSOAY, AUGUST 31, 1939 5 Cents Board of Supervisors Ousts Suffolk Publicity Director $30,000 Already Paid; Total Cost May Run Over $50,000 X Investigation of HeMelgren's Books Demanded by Supervisor Sharp X —: With County Treasurer John G. Peck refusing to pay any more bills for the Suffolk County advertising program— the committee having exceeded the amount permitted by law— the County Board of Supervisors on Monday dis- solved the publicity committee and dis- missed Gerard Hesselgren of Mattituck, as the county's publicity director. Mr. Hesselgren was employed on the rec- ommendation of Supervisor S. Went- worth Horton of Southold, a member of the committee. During the discussion at Monday's meeting Supervisor Frederic J. Wood of Babylon asked how Mr. Hesselgren happened to be engaged. Supervisor Horton replied that he had recommend- ed the publicity director and that Mr. Hesselgren had published a book for Southold Ttown. Others attending the meeting pointed out that the Southold book was a fi- nancial failure. The Southold Town Book which was the \baby\ of Mr. Hesselgren was spons- ored by the Southold Town Board. After he had collected subscriptions amounting to hundreds of dollars from citizens throughout the Town, Mr. Hes- selgren found that he could not go through with the printing of the book due to his financial condition and turn- ed back the venture Into the laps ot the Board. Supervisor Horton realiz- ing that approximately $200.00 had al- ready been appropriated by the Town Board for Mr. Hesaelgren's pubUcation and that this was the limit under the law, found it necessary to personally mnlsh appwwiiiMitely $1400 to Insure the publication of the book. It was shortly after this time that Hesselgren went into b a n k r u p t c y leaving many bills in connection with the publication of the Southold Town book still unpaid. After this failure Mr. Horton recommended the same .Hesselgren to the Board of Supervisors for this Important and responsible po- sition of Publicity Director of Suffolk County. Supervisor Edgar A. Sharp, of Brook- haven, chairman of the committee, in- formed the board at the Rlverhead meeting that bills amounting to $30,000 have been paid so far, that there are outstanding bills for $5,187 and bills amoimtlng to $13,000 yet to be submit- ted. He said the county \lost a lot of money\ In the venture. Exceeded Legal Amount ' The Impasse was reached when Mr. Peck received an opinion from his counsel, Attorney Guy O. Walser, to the effect that the county had exceed- ed the statutory limitation of the amount which can legally be spent for publicity purposes in one year. Mr. Peck immediately refused to pay any additional bills. Under the law a coun- ty is permitted to appropriate $10,000 a. year for publicity purposes, but must spend this amoimt In the current year. In his capacity as publicity director, Mr. Hesselgren involved the county in expenditures far in excess of this amount, members of the committee say. The money was spent mainly for printing 12,000 copies of the Suffolk County Book, for radio programs and newspaper advertising. O n l y 2,S00 copies of the book have been disposed of and the returns were made to Mr. Hesselgren, as director. Asks for an Avdit Mr. Sharp's resolution asked for the appointment of an auditor to make an immediate inventory of the books and all equipment in Mr. Hesselgren's pos- session. Mr. Hesselgren was paid a salary of $60 a week by the county and his as- sistant received $30 weekly, Mr. Sharp said. Mattituck C. and C. Honor \Old Time\ Summer Residents Three \old-timers\ of Mattituck's large summer colony took a bow Mon- day night at the August dlnner-meet- ing of the Mattituck Chamber of Com- merce, held in the flrehouse here with the president, Dr. John L. Wasson, pre- siding. The honored guests were John Van Wagner of Brooklyn, who has spent 65 consecutive summers in Mat- tituck; Frederick Vine, a summer visit- or here for 47 years, and Joseph Toon- ey whose Mattituck seasons number37. Dr. Wasson seized advantage of the opportunity offered by the presence of the three \old-timers and the attend- ance of other colonists, to urge greater participation In community affairs by summer visitors. During a brief business session, James A. Gildersleeve, chairman of the Board of Fire Commissioners of the local fire district, asked the chamber to support modification of the proposed town fire prevention ordinance. The code as drawn up by Town Attorney George C. Terry Is too severe In several particu- lars, in the opinion of the commission- ers. The proposed ordinance was orig- inally sponsored by the chamber. Alois Lutz Jr., chairman of the com- mittee on street signs, announced tha^ a large neon sign pointing out Matti- tuck's shopping center for the benefit of motorists will be erected on the south side of Route 25 at the Love Lane Junction this week. This project was sponsored by the chamber whose mer- chant members contributed funds with which to purchase the sign. F. H.

Carey, manager of the Southold Auction Block, announced to-day that there will be no sale on Saturday of this week but that the Block will be open on Monday (Labor Day) at the usual time. The market on lima beans took a decided Jump this week with every in- dication that the trend will be decided- ly better from now on. On Wednes- day $1.37>^ was' high which was the most paid for a hamper of lima beans this season. The average price was $1.19. The receipts at the block have been light without a 2,000 package day since last Thursday. A representative of the Federal Sur- plus Commodity Corporation is still at the Block but has not bought for the last several days due to the im- proved condition of the market. The FSCC stands ready to step in if the market again shows signs of weakening. There is no doubt that the presence of this Federal agency on the local mark- et has been a decided factor in holding up the lurloe.

Waller of Southold is now on an extended trip to Rio de Ja- neiro, Brazil. On his voyage down he made a stop over at Barbados, British West Indies, Dr. Waller in his own In- imitable style has wnt us an interest- ing and picturesque description of his visit there. We know our readers will be delighted to read Dr. Waller's story. A Visit to Barbados It rained during the night. The surge of the sea was a most effective lullaby. Now the morning sun sweeps away the cobwebs of the night. Gazing out tbe porthole, the sail of a lonely fishing boat is silhouetted against the eastern horizon. On our starboard side shines a beautiful rainboiw, one end dips info the sea, the other is lost in the clouds. A pot of gold at tbe end? Who knows? The north end bl an island becomes visible. Soon the verdant, terraced slopes of Barbados appear. Our ship, gliding at half speed, comes to anchor in the clear quiet waters of Carlisle Bay, the harbor of Bridgetown. Ttoee freight ships, a Canadian, a Britisher and a Norwegian have preceded us. All around swarm long narrow hand hewn rowboats with the native negro rowers shouting to the ships' passen- gers. As silver Is tossed to them, they are soon all swimming and diving niey come up with the coin, their eyes and teeth gleaming, their wet bodies glistening like polished bronse. Then the harbor police boat arrives, ite black saUors with their wide white hats lo(dcing as if they had Just step- ped out of a Nubian version ot Pina- fore. At the stem fkMts the Union Jack, with the appropriate Barbadian emblem of King Neptune and his tri- dent, emblazoned on the blue field. A dusky worthy, resplendent in his hel- met aiul white uniform, proves to be the health officer. He carries himself (Continued on Page 8) X Public Invited to Inspect New Hospital On nriday and Saturday, Sep- tember Stb and Otb between the hours of 1 and S P H . tbe public is cordially invited to inspect the new additkm to tbe lastern Lone Uand KnepHal at Oieen- port.
