Y., THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1940 5 Cents Old Town Players Planning Production of Historical Pageant Tercentenary Commillcc Endeavoring to Cut Costs Of Event to a Minimum W a r nin g ! Six Court Officers Dropped From County Pay Roll Justice Swezey Calls Action Economy Move To all residents of the South- f X old Fire District I wish to urge The Old Town Players met in a special meeting with t h e ^ ineral Cele- bration Committee on Monday night to plan the details of the Historical Pageant which is to be one of the out- standing attractions of the Celebra- tion Week, The pageant script has been comple- ted and meets with the enthusiastic approval of all who have read it. The meeting on Monday evening was for the purpose of considering ways and means of staging the production. The item of first importance to rome up for consideration was the ap- proximate cost of the production. The Players agreed to go into the matter of costs for costumes and of actual staging, and another meeting will be held In t h e near future to work out a budget for the production. The largest item of cost for the pro- duction will be Uie erection of bleach- ers, or some other seating device to accommodate the audience. The Com- mittee unanimously agreed that ths first estimates submitted for the erec- tion of bleachers was so high that some other moans of taking care of the crowds expected would have to be de- veloped. Under the leadership of Dr. S. B. Fischer, a gi-oup from the Players will clear the spot where the Pageant is to be staged and prepare the ground for the stage and for the seats. It is hoped that the details of the cost of the production can be arranged by the end of this week so that the Pageant can immediately go into re- hearsal, Tlie Committee and the Players both realize that the production must be a spectacle which will long be remem- bered; but both groups realize that the expense of the production must be kept strictly within figures which can be paid by the income f r o m t h e first pro- duction. It is expected that the cast will call for about two hvmdred men and two hundred women. Colorful dances and other attrac- tions will corne between the episodes. At first it was the purpose of the Committee to hold the Pageant dur- ing the afternoon; but after long de- bate on the matter, t h e plan was alter- ed to hold evening performances. The players feel that lighting and other features will be much more im- pressive at a night performance. Some notion of the difficulties t o be iolved may be gleaned from a consid- eration of the size of the audiences which may be expected. Tlie last Cel- ebration Pageant brought out a tre- mendous audience. This one can be ex- pected to do the same. Accommoda- tions for a very large group will have to be prepared to take care of the throng which will be ju'esent at the great ceremony which will open the Celebration. The Committee plans to use tlie seating prepared for the pag- eant for this event also, But the fig- ures thus far submitted for the con- struction of bleachers or seats for a crowd of some two thousand are so high that Uie Committee cannot con- sider them and have to seek some other solution of the difficulty, Numerous rumors have come to the ears of the members of the Committee during tlip week concerning the great pums which the Committee plans to expend for the staging of the Pageant, The truth of the matter is that ab- solutely no figures have been reached; and the Committee trusts that tho.se who wish to cooperate will frown upon gossip, which, while it may not be spread with any thought of Injuring the spirit of the Celebration, certain- ly tends to raise doubts in the minds of nil who hear it as to the good ,1udge- ment of nil conccrned. The Pasennt will be n gorgeous spec- tacle; and it will pny Its way both fi- nanclally and artisticnlly. X Board of Governors Of S. Y.

JOHN SCOTT, Chief of Southold Fire Department Twenty-two Take Power Squadron Examinations The Peconic Bay Power Squadron, a unit of tlie United States Power Squad- dron, has just completed a course of instruction in Piloting, Seamanship, and Small Boat Handling. Ths course consisted of a series of lectures given by members of the local squadron. Lectures were given both in Southold and Riverhead. Over a hun- dred per.sons enrolled and 22 took the final examinations at the end of the course. Tlie members of the Squadron give their own time and many of them put in long hours at the job, their sole re compense being that they feel they are doing a real work and biinging some- thing of educational as well as recre- ational value to those who take the work. The Squadron does its Job with as little fanfare and publicity as pos- sible and in the process completes a thoroughly laid out plan. The territory covered by the Peconic Bay Power Squadron extends from Centre Moriches to Montauk Point and from Riverhead to Orient Point. Said to be based on an economy proposal recommended by Supreme Court Justice Isaac R. Swezey resi- dent jurist, six Republican appointees who have served for many years as court officers in the Supreme court in Riverhead have been dropped from the payroll. Tliose dropped from service by Sheriff Jacob S. Dreyer at the re- quest of Justice Swezey are Joseph Holland, Edward Case, both of Pat- chogue, Joseph Kelly, Amityvllle, Bru- no Haupt, Jamesport, Henry Jones, Se- tauket, and Wilbur Carter, Greenport, The four court officers retained are David Gilbride, East Hampton, Harold Hoek, Sayville, Frank Jose, Water Mill, and Mrs. Elizabeth Kropp of Speonk, matron, but it is reported that Jus- tice Swezey soon will replace these four with provisional apEK )intees pending a civil service examination for court at- tendants. These also being Republi- cans, they are said to fear they will be replaced by Democrats. Judge Swe- zey is a Democrat. The wholesale firing is said to have followed a conference between Justice Swezey and Sheriff Dreyer, a Republi- can, during which the former pointed out that there had been criticism by taxpayers as to the number of officers assigned to t h e court. The men in the Supreme and Coun- ty courts, as court officers, are depu- ty sheriffs and do not have the title of court attendants. Under the pres- ent set-up, the sheriff is responsible for employing and discharging these officers on recommendation of the res- ident justice. X Wort Jessie Florence Pender Mrs. Jessie Florence Pender, wife of the Reverend Thomas M. Pender, pas- tor of t h e St. James Methodist Church Chicago, died last Saturday night, April 13, In Chicago.

This ofler was made so t h a t those outside the Town who are interested in the Tercentenary might subscribe to the Traveler and thereby keep in close touch with the coming events and at the same time give financial aid t o the Committee. The Committee accepted this offer at a meeting held on Monday evening and the Traveler acknowledges the gracious letter of Russell L. Davison, secretary. The following is the letter sent to the Committee and the one re- ceived in reply: Southold, N. Y. April 15, 1940 Southold Town Tercentenary Committee Southold, Long Island, Ne^ York Gentlemen: It was recently suggested to us by one of our old subscribers that we de- vise some plan whereby those outside the Town who are interested in the Tercentenary celebration this summer might be induced to subscribe to the Long Island Traveler for t h e next sev- eral months in order that they may keep in close touch with what is t o take place during the week of the celebra- tion. We thought the suggestion a good one and gave the matter careful consideration. We concluded upon the following plan which we hope will meet with the approval of your committee. For any new subscription to The l^ong Island Traveler at tJie regular jUrt-rly rate of $2,00, received either by your commit- tee or at this office, I will give $1.00 to the Celebration Fund. In this way the descendants of the founding families, those who have made Southold Town their home during some part of their lives and have moved away, and any others who are interested, will be able to learn the facts concerning the Ter- centenary and at the same time give financial aid to the committee. The plan will also serve as a means where- by I can do my best in your campaign to raise necessary funds wliich I would otherwise be unable to do. By making the term of the subscrip- tion for one year rather than for the next few weeks preceding the Celebra- tion we hope to form a closer bond be- tween Southold and those outside the Town who are interested in its doings, not only during the time of the Cele- bration but in the years to come. This subscription will also include the Ter- centenary Souvenir Number which will be published during the week of the Celebration and which we hope will be in keeping with the high plane you have set for your various activities. I would appreciate a reply as t o your decision in this matter. Wishing your committee every suc- cess in this tremendous undertaking and offering my co-operation in every way possible, I remain, Sincerely yours, Frederick C. Hawkins, Editor Suffolk Dairymen Continue To Oppose Compulsory Pasteurization Tlie Southold Bowling League will hold its annual banquet at Mitchell'.^ Restaurant, Greenport, on Thursday evening, April 25th, at 7 o'clock.

Southold Town Tercentenary Committee Southold, New York April 16, 1940 Editor Frederick C Hawkins, Southold, New York My dear Mr. Hawkins: I read your letter containing your very generotis offer at the special meet- ing of the General Committee which was held at the office of the Town Clerk on Monday evening, The Committee directed the Secre- tary to WTite to you, accepting your offer and expressing its thanks to you, both for the opportunity it offers the Committee to secure some additional income, and for the promise it holds forth of carrying word of the forth- coming Celebration to those who are interested, Naturally the news of the Celebra- tion is now being carried far afield. Justice Oliver C hac's \Old Families\ Conomittee is getting into conUvct with people far and wide whose familieis de- scend from Southold lines, There will be among our visitors during t h e Cele- bration Week hundreds who come to visit the aoenes where their ancestors lived. Yoiu- offer points t h e way -where- by those people m^y ewily be inlormed of all the plans for the events of tlie Suffolk Association Holds Meeting at Hnntington The gradual infiltration of Commu- nism in the educational system of our country was outlined by Anatol Rodau of Huntington, former government agent, in a speech before the members of the Suffolk County Association on Saturday at Karl Mueller's restaurant, East Northport, County Clerk Frank Markvart, presi- dent of the Association welcomed the members and guests and introduced Richard V.

At present, of course, the only source of Income the General Committee has is the money which C/Onies from the sale of the Tercentenary Seals. Tlie circularizing which the Committees have done has proved a very heavy drain on our money; still we feel that It is vital tliat we get word to as many of the descendants of the early famil- ies as we possibly can. Your offer will help us tremendous- ly, and we welcome it as a sign of the deep interest of the whole Town in what we are trying to do for South- old.

A group of 80 dairymen who met at the Court House in Riverhead last Fri- day evening, went on record as contin- uing their fight against the compul- sory pasteurization of milk in Suffolk County, which will go into effect on July 15. The meeting was called by the Coun- ty Dairy Committee of which F. C. Crowe is chairman. The purpose of the meeting was to see if the sentiment of the dairymen of the County had changed regarding the pasteurization order. A general discussion took place in which ideas were presented favoring both sides of the question. A vote was taken in which 64 voted to continue the fight against this order and 4 voted that they do not wish to continue the fight. The sentiment of the meeting was expressed in the following resolu- tion : \WHEREAS Suffolk County is a ru- ral community in which adequate su- pervision of the milk supply is provi- ded; \AND WHEREAS, natural milk properly produced is one of our best and most wholesome foods; \AND WHEREAS, pa,steurized milk is available \to all of the people in Suf- folk County at present; \AND WHEREAS, compulsory pas- teurization would make it necessary for the public to pay an increased price for milk and would at the same time work an economic hardship on many dairymen; \AND WHEREAS, compulsory pas- teurization would deprive many Suf- folk County residents from purchasing a good, wholesome food which they wish to purchase; \THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT we, the dairymen gathered in the Suffolk County Court House, Fri- day evening, April 12, do go on record as being opposed to compulsory pas- teurization in Suffolk County. We f u r - ther go on recx)rd as favoring t h e con- tinuation of our fight against the pro- posed Board of Health Order calling for compulsory pasteurization of all milk sold in Suffolk County: \We wish to present further this resolution to the Board of Supervisors of Suffolk County with t h e request t h a t they continue to do all within their power to prevent tills ordinance from being put into force in Suffolk County.\ The following committee was ap- pointed to confer with the County Board of Supervisors and express to them the sentiment of the meeting:— Southold Township — William Unkle- bach, Mattituck; Riverhead Township — Frank Reeve, Aquebogue; East Hampton — Abe Katz, East Hampton; Southampton Township — H, F.

The majority of the Southold Town com- mitteemen have previously gone on record as supporting t^e Vunk oandi\ dftcy. Chairman Hamilton Warns Against False Republican Advertising More than 5,000 presidents and ad- vertising managers of New York corp- orations and business firms were warn- ed yesterday by the United Republican Finance Committee that the Republi- can National Committee declares \Re- publican Convention Edition\ adver- tising solicitations for certa,in publi- cations to bo unauthorized. In letters signed by F. Trubee Dav- ison, chairman of the United Repub- lican Finance Committee, the organi- zation explained copies were enclosed of a statement on the subjcct by John Hamilton, Republican National Chair- man, \in the event you should bo sol- icited for advertisements cither direct- ly or indirectly in behalf of the Party,\ Mr. Hamilton, in his statement, said; \Word has rcachod the Republican National Commlttco hoaclqimrters that corporations are being solicited for ad- vertising in a 'Republican Convention Edition' of certain publications and also are being solicited to purchase bulk loti) of such publications. \This in exactly the sort of thing I soverly condemned when I annoimced there would be no 1940 Republican Convention Book. Our objection to publication of a Conventiop Book was based on the belief that solicitation of odvertlfliug from corporations at fancy prioee was in violation of the spirit of the Federal Corrupt Practices Act,
