FREEPORT NECROES ORGANIZING CLUB Will Replace Pool Room At Henry Street and Olive Boulevard 'The poolroom at the corner of Hen: ry street and Olive boulevard, Free- port, 'has been leased and is now in process of being renovated for use as a community clubhouse for the colored people. A course in nursing will begin at the new headquarters, at which 20 colored women will be given a course of Instruction in the proper care of the sick, The class, which was organized by Mrs. Gordon of Brooklyn, is already filled to the limit of 20 members, and many applications for admission had to be refused. A canteen will be opened at the club, at which lunches will be served. There will also be a day nurs- ery, in which the children of mothers who are busy during the day at work may be taken. A library for girls will also. be established in the clubhoue. One. pool table and a reading room will 'be set aside for the boys. At present the colored population of this village numbers close to four hun- dred, and up to the present time there has been no real meeting place for the colored residents of the section other than the missions and the African M. E. Church, called Bethel, of which Rev. W; F. Coffy is resident pastor. There are several organizations of the colored people in the village, including a Men's Club, a Women's Club, a Young Girle' Club and a Junior Class, the su- pervisor of which is Mrs. W. F. Coffy. The colored people are now prepar: Ing a pageant to be presented at an early date, which will show the history of the colored race from its origin down to the present day. As scon as the community club be: comes fully organ'sed, a campaign will be started for better living conditions In their section of the village. The community club, in addition to the many uses mentioned above, will be open for a night school, provided the enrollment in the school warrants the work. _-__---4--- SAVE THE BIRDS According to the Audobon Society, the crops destroyed by insects and amall rodents in America would feed the peo- ple of Belgtum.

I PAPERS Babylon and Southampton Papers In volved In Transactions - The Signal Publishing Company, Cost Likely To Exceed $50,000) which publisnes the South Side Signal Voted -Big Increase In Registration Some residents of Seaford are of the opinion that the proposed new brick school house with six class rooms down- stairs and 'an assembly room on the second story cannot be built for the $50,000 which voters of the district ap- proved as an appropriation for the work and that either the plans will have to be modified or the appropriation in- creased. The present structure on . Jackson avenue will be moved and the new school will be placed on its site. The old one was built twenty-seven years ago, but is still in very good condition. Last year the registration suddenly in- creased from eighty-nine pupils to 149 and the State Department of Educa- tion notlfled the local Board of Educa- tion that the district would have to pro- vide more room. It recommended a new building. Seaford, like most other towns on the Island within the commuting district, is filled up. Not a house, not a room, is for rent, and few or no new places can be purchased. Nelther is the out- look for building this spring bright, in- vestors feeling, in common with inves- tors all over the land, that if they build while: labor and raw material prices are as high as they are they will have unprofitable investments on their hands later on, Experienced real estate men look for a gradual slough- ing off in rentals as other prices re- cede. _-___4____ MOTHER AND 8 CHILDREN ILL Large Family In Ocean Side Suffering!
