Terry and Albflrtson Get Pro- motions Both are Made First Deputiet With Raise in Snlory—Penny Groomed to Succeed Terry •THERE is a uniqu e situation this *** year in, that none of the elected public ofllcinls of SulTolk county or its subdivisions change with tho New Year , BO far ua actual personnel is concerned , though eight county office holders begin new terms through re- election. All are Republicans. Two widely known antl popular ap- pointees on the county staff at River- hood move up ti> first line positions through promotion to fill vncanc.es, Ellis* T. 'Ferry, who has for some years been secretary to the county treasurer , has been mndq first deputy at a salary of $,ViO0 a -year , succeed, ing his brother , Willis L. Terry, firs t deputy f or n long time , who has re- signed on account of ill health. Harry E. Penny of Riverhead has the unanimous indorsement of the Ke- publican Committee for appointment to the position held by Ellis T. Terry antl it Is expected that County Treas- urer Shepherd M. Scudder will ap- point him to thnt office. The salary Is $2 , 500 it year. . Edward H. Albertson , commonly known as \Little Dick , \ who has been connected with the county clerk' s of- fice for ninny years , and has lately been listed as second deputy, has been promoted to the position of first dep- uty by Oounty Clerk Fred S. Pulver. He thus comes into tho position that has officially stood vacant since Riley P. Howell resigned. It means not merely a change of title hy an In- crease of salary from $2 , B00 a yeur to $3 , 5b0. The . situation as to elective officials is most extraordinary -because in some cases they begin third tprm s , and this is something that rarely hap- pens. County Treasurer Scudder ' s case is the most prominent one. The Republican practice heretofore hois heen to give an- official only two nominations . , as . the [county is so , strong ly Republican \ tWtJnaMfiotkm almost means election. But last fall Mr. Scudder was named for a third term. The town officials all rem ain as they were during 1926 because there were no town elections in that year. State Senator George, L. Thompson of Kings Park and ' Assemblymen John G. Downs of Cutchogue and John Boyle , J r., of Huntington begin new terms in office for the first and sec- ond districts.

Not only- is it amusing, being a bird of a story in truth , but it carries with it , like Aesop ' s fables , a moral , per- haps two morals. A wayward bird , jazzing about on Christmas day for a proper manner in which to celebrate , came upon the irresistible sight of a luscious pump- kin pie sitting on a table just inside the shining kitcnen windows of Mrs. Roeckel ' s house. Not only did the b ird know that , were he to prie this dainty, It would render him pie-eyed , a condition not becoming on Christmas day in this abstemious age , but he would be offending society further ly poking His fingers into a pie that was not his own. All of this he considered as he circled around the region of the kitchen but every tim« he drew near , the pie looked) more tempting and the transparent barrier less prohibitive. Twas , ever thus. The first time you behold the wine when it: is red, it seems very red , very; -wild , very wick- By Ruby Douglas ed. But you look . again and again; you linger in - its . environment , you taste it , you finally succumb to its lure. At last the bird took . a . brave , swing- ing dip , thrust himself against the pane of glass and reached the coveted bod of pumpkin nestling in the pastry. But , in the vernacular of the school- boy, his -work was-coin.Se , his method clumsy, and he found, a moment later , that he had overdone it. ' He had scarcely tasted the pie when the enemies arrived , post-haste , from the dining room. They captured him and placed him in a coop where he suf- fered solitary confinement for his folly. By pounding against the slats of his prison with fttfee, no doubt granted him because -of his extreme penitence., he was able to free himself before-his \ executors arrived. For they had planned to ,slay him. But , this was his first offense , and he had suffered:-enough. • .. - • . ' - .

'? it was Hie Quietest New Year ' s eve and New Year ' s day In many years for not a drunk wus ar- rested and only one was the cause of nny disturbance and he was taken into custody by some of his friends at once. The. ruiit of early Friday night tended to keep many from the streets nnd nt a late hour then* was no indication in the business section of the. villas* that one of the most celebrated nights of the year was near at hand. Tho most colorful anil enjoyabl e event locally was the party at the Elks ' Club Friday nigh t that attracted a crowd of ovei» 300 people who thronged the entire first two floors of the club house. Tho interior was dec- orated wiih ropes of laurel and es- pecial lighting effects were obtained for the party. The dining room was enlarged to take in all of the lobby and tho entire second floor was give n over to dancing with the Jazz Maniacs furnishing the musical stimulus, Promptly at midnight a riot of noise broke loose and pandemonium reigned for several minutes before the danc- ing started again. As morning began to creep on ' -tho crowd thinned antl the dancing concluded in the main dining room which had been cleared of sev- eral of the tables. There were numerous smaller par- ties in private homes. Roadhouses throughout this section were thronged from early evening un- til- earl y rhorhing and every one of them is reported to have done a rush- ing business. A large number went into New York to see the New Year in and the late afternoon and early eve- ning 'trains ' ; - carried unusually heavy loads of passengers to take part in one of the wettest and most hilarious celebrations the city has ever known , , At the . opposite end of the line of celebrators were the groups who gath- ered at* several churches in Patchogue and vicinity to see the New Year in with combination ' s \ . of religious service , ahd quiet social \ diversion; Together they made up a goodly percentage of the population. First Scooter Racing Brings Out Big Crowds Dominy and Colson Win Opening Events Stiff Breeze and Pine Ice Off Bell port Provido Lively Sport—More Com- ing Thi* Saturday if Wenther Per- mits \VV/ITM a sporty breeze sweeping \ owi' thi! ice covere d surface of Heliport Buy the opening' races of the season of thc South Ray Scooter Club were held Saturday afternoon when seven craft started out from in front of the Bellport Bay Yacht Club. The iec was in perfect condition for racing and weather conditions were ideal for the opening day. There - were many onlookers lining the shore. The first race started at 2 o ' clock over a triangular course of about five miles eastward from the club and then .southward toward tho beach and back to tho starting point , each race being three times around this course , and the time made in the llrst race was unusually good for the llrst race and for any race , as far as that goes. The second boat came in only 10 seconds after the first while the third flashed across the finish in another 10 sec- onds and the remaining scooters were not far behind. The last leg of the course was a beat to windward. The bo-ats starte d in the opening races in the following : order: William Colson ' s •\Sunshine , \ G. M. Clark' s \Margie L. 2nd , \ Kellogg* Dominy-s \Elliod , \ William Hollis, R. Roe ' s \Firefly \ Milton Murdock' s \Helen \ and ' Captain Sims Baker, In the sec- ond race the wind bad died down con- siderably ami the time records were oot so good for none of the craft came in under sit half hour as was the case in the firs t event The boats started the same and finished in the same or- der so that Kellogg Botniny won the right to fly thc club pennant in • Sun- day ' s races and also won the pennant put up as a prize for the first races. \THE prize winners in Saturday ' s * races were as follows : No. 7 , \Elliod , \ Kellogg Domini, - , 28 minutes , 40 seconds. , , No. m , \Sunshine , \ William Col- son , 28 minutes , 50 seconds.

No. 8 , \Margie L. 2nd, \ G. M. Clark , 37 minutes , 20 seconds. On Sunday morning a preliminary race was run off by a few of the craft which was won by Captain Ack- erly. with his \Ida A , \ which covered the course in 33 minutes and 15 sec- onds. In the afternoon the main races of the day were held but a lack' of wind cut.down the speed to such an extent that none of the scooters made aiiy . remarkable time records. The time of thc winners in Sunday ' s events follows : No. . 19 , \Sunshine , \ William Col- son , 41 minutes. No. 8 , \Margie L. 2nd , \ G. M. Clark , 4114 minutes.

'The scooterists . have an arrange- ment with the Bellport Bay Yacht Club under* which they use tho latter ' s house on the Bellport village dock as headquarters, and there hot coffee wns dispensed and those who were chilled . by exposure to the biting air were given opportunity to thaw out. Evidence of appreciation of the en- tertainment on ice and ashore pro- vided by the club was seen in the fact that a box on which a smal l sign in- dicated its purpose to receive contri- butions toward the coal fund was found late in the day* to contain a lit- tle over $20.

Bad Milk Blamed For Illness In Three Families Definitel y Traced lo Milk in Two Cases Wns Purchased From Sume Source und Sickness Ro nulled Quickly— New Charges nre Mad* n» Prolic Continues .- 'TW O families have apparently heen I ** matlci ill during the past week from milk that has been purchitscd in Patchflgue and tt third family, liv- ing in West Patchogue , is believed to have been made ill by drinking iriilk that was purchased in u supposedly fresh condition. In ' the . first two cuscs tho illness , it Is claimed , was traced definitely to tho milk , for it occurred within the space of n few days and in- vestigation shows th(U. the milk was purchased from the sitnie source and supplied to thin soiirc-e by tho same producer. In one case three children in the family we re inside seriously ill nutj in thc other 'two children and one adult were apparently poisoned by consum- ing milk that had been sold as O. K. but which proved to ' be unfit for con- sumption, In all oX the cases the ill- ness was induced within a few hours after drinking the milk. The discs seem to back up conclusively the charges that there is n crying need for examination of thc. milk being sold here. Only last week , I)r, W. S. Bennett , village health officer , made the state- ment that during the winter months there wa.s no need 'for a monthly test of the milk because of the fact that bacteria were not so prevalent during the cold months and that due to the temperature the milk woul d not de- teriorate as it - wo -jfid in the summer time. Despite these statements by the village health officer it seems appar- ent that , something is wrong with some of the milk find that a test is necessary even in the winter months for sanitary conditions in some of the local dairies are in no way affected, by the winter months and uncleanliness is just as prevalent iu the handling of milk as it was last summer. In fact it is ' charged thai\ practically no improvement has been made in the sanitary conditions , other than a tem- p orary one for a few weeks in \the early fall when state officials ¦vere here looking over the field. The latest charges thut has been lodged against some milk distributers here is that Patchogue people) in cer- tain instances are unknowingly buy- ing milk two or three days old and milk that has been frozen before it' is (Continued on Page 2 , this Section) Chicken Thieves Are Busy Here Coops in West Patchogue and on Jen- nings Avenue are Raided Over She Week-end VV/HILE West Patchogue folks were ' • \ out Friday night making merry and seeing the New Tear in chicken thieves were plying their trade and numerous birds ended their lives about the time 192G was bein g pronounced officially -lead. The first theft came to light early the following morning when Richard MacDonald of 172 River . Avenue returned after being out for the evening. ¦ Hearing a disturbance in bis chicken coop in the rear of his property he went out to i nve.stiga.te and as he opened the door he found a hen with her neck wrung, that had heen drop- ped by the looters in their apparent haste to leave. Then ho took a count of his poultry and found thnt 15 of his chickens were missing. The following day it developed that another man on River Avenue had fared even worse and practically all of his brood had been taken during the, night. Not content with celebrat- ing New Year ' s eve by appropriating a large number of chickens the thieves on the - following night invaded tbe coop of t Edward Warren on Notting- ham Avenue and made a good ^htiul there , it is . reported. . The matter was reported to Officer llogcr but sih.ee this is outside the-village limits the police did nothing special about it. Thieves broke open a chicken coop on P. Luff' s propert y at 92 Jennings Avenue one night recently and stole nine nice laying hens from his stock. They selected their prey carefully leaving on ly the younger birds. H. S. Wins a Fast Game Against Alumni Noses Out Former Players 21- 19 Towards End Both Teams Show Class in Evenly Matched Contest—Second Team Wins From Celtics piGirriNG desperately, and fighting is tho only word thnt will de- scribe the contest Friday night , the present quintet of the high school nosed out the Alumni team 21-19 in one of the greatest nip and tuck bat- tl es seen hero this year. While local roadhouses were fill to capacity with high and fancy steppers the court of the high school ' gym provided the scene for one of the finest stepping contests of the year and there was more kick in the big game that night than could be found in any of the bottled refreshments that , so they say, were being imbibed elsewhere. From start to finish it was one of those games that keep you on the sharp edge of the seat every mimite watching first one side and then the other grab the lead as a long shot goes through, the hoop only to have the other quintet snatch the ball and even the , score and forge ahead by a one or two point margin. And just before all this happened the high school sec- onds , pardon us , we mean the other first team , drubbed the Celtics in a manner prophetic of the new year as the game ended with a 19-27 score. Tlie hi gh school; team has shown fine\ form all seaso n- but . their , per- formhnce of Friday night ecl i psed any other game this year in the point of clever passing, and new tactics. Coach Emery has been doing a lot with the boys during the past week and out of his bag of ideas he has conceived a number of new plays that are death dealing in , their ability to score over the other side at seemingly impossible positions. DUT even though the present kings lJ of the court were in fine fettle the former champs of all they could survey showed equally fine form. Mazzotti showed his old time diving styl e as he ducked in and under op- posing guards to gKfibl the ball and get it into an overhead game in a moment and the passing game of the alumni was a beautiful exhibition for all of their outfit wei*e able to pass over the heads of the high school lads. How- ever what the alumni had in the way of an advantage in passing they lacked in the way of a proper focus on the basket at close range. In general the long shots were truer than the near basket trys for the alumn i woul d wo rk the ball down in excellent fashion only to be stopped dead at the basket. Springhorn started the whole a ffair when he shot a goal over the heads of everyone and into , the basket short- ly after the opening whistle had sounded, Adams came back with a foul shot and a moment lated lobbed one in from the far side of the court and placed the high school in the lead. Parks missed a good shot and Furman took the miss and capitalized it by scoring a basket. Then a battle royal settled over the court as the hall slipped , sl ewed antl skidded over the court until Chilson was fouled and made good on the shot. Baker took the bal l and after toying with it for n minute crashed it through the hoop for the final score of the period with the high school leading C to 4. \THEN in the second period the high . school staged a rally that set them well ahead of the alumni , who were able to gain but one ' point in the second eight minutes of play. ' . Chilson missed A - foul aiid Adaihs turned it into a bnsket. Agai n a fast and furi- ous mlxup resulted In mid-floor and while the mixup ' wasfat its height Fur- man grabbed the bal l in some way and had dropped it through before the alumni defense had come to life. Ma- gurk came through with a foul for the alumni and Adams shot one in fro m the middle of the court as the high school led 12 to 5 at half time. When the alumni came back at thc start of the third session there was de- termination in their style of play, and in a minute they were on their uphill climb to near victory. Springhorn dropped in a basket but Furman off- set it with one of his own. Mazzotti dropped one in and so did Marran. Then the high school lads took the ball (Continued on Page 2 , this Section) —- .i i „ ., ,, - . SHANE'S New cro|> Molnssts has just arrived. Fint-r.t w« hive hid'in warn, 3<te cusrt. --Adv.

Mr. Fuller- ton ' s articles are always full of real interest and are distinctly different from any statements of mere statis- tics. He says : This finish month of 1920 has been pronounced many n. timo and oft by wise weather guys as different. Quite right. It was different from n whole lot of previously occurring De- combers nnd very similar to a great many other Decembers noticed in the past ; in other words , whole days and weeks , and months , and even years vary nil the way from little lo much. The instrumental weather rec- ords carefully preserved , many dating back 60 years , quite a, number a hun- dred years , and even a few that were kep t along the eastern border of the Unite d States in the early days , give us the weather conditions of 150 , and in all that time there have been no great variations in any year ' s wea- th er since records 'Were kept in the U. S. A. This particular December , which has just gone into the ' discard , showed a few Utile eccentricities slightly , at variance with the usual December on the Blessed Isle , for example , the writ- er ' s children (all born on Long Is- land), practically every December worried for fear there wouldn 't be any snow to enable Santa.

The proposed villages are Conscience Bay , Old Field and West Meadow, the ap- plicants being for the most part well- to-do people, some very wealthy, who own summer places along the waters there. The Conscience Bay petition bears the signatures of 52 citizen taxpayers . This section lies on and near the bay of that name , which branches off the west side of . Port Jefferson harbor. T he Old Field petition has 95 names and the territory embraced extends northward from Conscience Bay to Long Island Sound. The West Meadow petition bears 93 names of taxpayers of the ^ upland between Old Field and West Meadow not including the beach. It contains the residences of some well known millionaires. There Is no business center to! any of the sections. If the supervisor finds the petitions in proper form and the sig- natories correct the people \ of that section will vote as to wliether or not they shall incorporate. Brookhaven town al ready has one incorporated village which is almost entirely a summer colony, Shorehnm , east of Port Jefferson. The other incorporated villages are Patchogue and Bellport.
