It seems , almost , as if the ear of the Chamber were eternally attuned to hear the words Shakespeare gave Lady Macbeth , \Stand not ' • upon the order of your going, but go at once. \ It never waits to argue; it never hesi- tates when need is evidenced. Patch- oKue Post , American Legion , wants the grounds around its building beau- tified ; the village would have the idea fostered. Therefore , the -Chamber of Commerce begins definite p lans to fur- ther the movement. And its plans include thc partici- pation of citizens and future citizens. This is far seeing. . For tho moment a project becomes the personal re- sponsibility of a number of good citi- zens its success is assui.d, • Offering prizes to attract the older school children is another good idea. A youn g man is attracted , - . .tat , by the competitive element. Then , as \ it be- gins to realize what the joy of crea- tion for its own sake mean s , the lure of tho prize becomes secondary. But the very thought tha?perhaps the Me- morial Park may be designed after a Plan matle by a schoolboy or girl of today, to stand , a perpetual memory nob only to the lads ' Patchogue lost in the world war but as a testimonial to tne fact that she had young citizens who could and would create- beauty for their.ho .ne town , is a good one. ¦ . Wittn. a committee of two hundred citizens and tlie efforts of a large percentage of students , the plans shoul d soon be ready to lay before the village Board, AS I SEE IT I _f H. S. B OYS Debate Abolishment of Death Penalty Winsche Questions Right of State to Kill Brown Say* Capital Punishment ii Justifiable Killing in Self Defense AN innovation in the system under which each of the high school seniors gives an oration nt the general assembly at stated periods was made Inst Thursday when thc two boys speaking took opposing sides of the proposition , \Capital Punishment Should Be Abolished in the United States , \ converting the affair into a kind of debate , though there were no rebuttals and no decision. Joh n Win- sche took the affirmative^ arguing for abolishment , and Ralph Brown the negative. Thnt the Sixth Commandment , \Thou Shalt Not Kill , \ holds against the state as well as against individ- uals and that human judgment is too frail to base the taking of life upon it were the main points in Mr. Win- sche ' s address , while his opponent held that capital punishment is necessary to safeguard the public and justified on the theory of killing in self defense. John Winsehe said: \In my opinion capital punishment is unnecessary •because it is contrary to all the reasoning of the past ages summed up in the Ten Commandments which act as the supreme guidance of all law and understanding. The Sixth Commandment , 'Thou Shalt Not Kill , ' nets and should act as a guidance for present and futurar generations. \The greatest power of all creation is the power over life and death. In dealing with . murderers we are ' deal- ing with persons who for revenge , en- richment or some other unworthy mo- tive have killed. It can hardly be said thc state gains a respect for human life by imitating the murderer. \Human justice is not infallible. This has been proven many times and if , after a person has been executed it is found that he is innocent , no power of the state can recall that person . A man named Stielow is declared to have been three times close to the electric chair once within less than an hour , only to bo finally saved by the confes- sion of another to the . murder of which ho had been convicted. How many men who did not have the friends and influence of Stielow have gone to the chair innocent. If life imprisonment be substituted for capital punishment there would be a chance to release the prisoner if proven innocent. Lafay- ette said , 'I shall ask for the abolition of the penalty of death until I have the infallibility of human justice dem- onstrated to me.

He then went more into some details illustrating his opening statement , after which the program was turned over to Miss Edna , Hal- lock antl Miss Violet Demurest , su- pervisor and assistant supervisor of art in the public schools. They out- lined the scope of their work and il- lustrated their remarks with work done by the pupils. The first part of the meeting was given over to the transaction of routine business with President Mrs, Walter G. Ovorton in the chair , and Mrs. Benjamin Rottmnti acting as re- cording secretary. Following the business meeting Mrs. William H. Aldrich , chairman of the program committee took charge of the meeting and Mrs. Sheridan Linn sang a solo \America the .

Moses will get the plnce without , fight, Ills position and record us chairman of the Long Is- land Stat e Park Commission and nlso chairman of the State Council of Parks are the stumbling blocks. The position pays tt salary of $12 , 000 and is one nf much infliioncp and impor- tance. Some senators art' said to be en- tirely opposed to confirm ing the ap- pointment and others ready to consent only on condition that Mr. Moses re- signs his positions on the island and state park hoards. These are un- salaried offices. The appointment is variously classed as an \Independent Republican \ nnd \independent Demo- crat. \ It has been impossibl e to get any authorative story on the report- ed debate in the Senate Finance Com- mittee , to which the. nomination was referred. Senator George L. Thompson , Long Island' s member in the upper house , is non-committal to tho press. But since he last year favored legislation to curb the powers of the Long Island State Pa rk Commission and gi ve county officials some say in the pro- gram , and since Chairman Moses.

Doyle , acting for tlm SulTolk County Radio Protective Society, now face even stronger interference fro m the Sayville station , with announcement thnt tho Commercial Wireless Com- pany of 41 Park Row , New York , has leased that plant from the government for hrondensting. This information came in the form of n letter from Congressman Robert L. Bacon to Mr. Doyle nnd ho at onco startetl work seeking some arrange- ment which will prevent the station from breaking in ou local reception. The lease of the Commercial com- pany is a live-year one , that can be terminated by eith er the Navy De- partment or the company on HO days ' notice. The company is to assume full possession of the plant within ten days and in the meantime the assign- ment of call letters nnd wove length will be taken up with the supervisor in New York. The strength of this station is such that the former interference by tho East Moriches station will \be neglig- ible in comparison , it is said. The situation of Long Island is already de- plorable in every way and that con- dition will be ' multiplied several times over if the station at West Sayville 'is allowed to operate at full power and will interfere with reception all-over the island , local radio men say. Mr. Doyle at once wrote to Everett Sanders , secretary to President Cool- itlge asking support of the President for the White Bill , for hq claims this bill alone will brin g about satisfactory legislation in regard to radio. The proposed \ compromise, bill\\ favored by the senate , he declared in the let- ter , would be as efficient and of as much use as a. leaf fallintj from a tree. Mr. Doyle opines that politics are interfering with the passage- of proper legislation and that representatives in Washington are betraying fhclr trust. In concluding his , letter , he says Congressman Bacon has been work- ing for two years to bring about relief but has met with little success. He points out the vast number of sets in use in New York and on. Long Is- land and declares that every civic body on Long Island will support tho protest and such pressure will be brought to bear that eventually legis- lation will be forced for a relief. Tho matter has been brought to the attention of tho Long Island; Chamber of Commerce , and also the Patchogue Chamber of Commerce , and the latter will take up the fight for the benefit of the hundreds of radio fans in this vicinity and it is also understood thnt radio dealers in this section will unite iH the fight , as broadcasting by West Sayville mny be a bad setback to tho radio business here. Some parties propose to carry their fight direct to Secretary Hoover in a final effort to get radio relief.

One of the Most Valuable Church Sites in The Village—Cele- brates Fifteenth Anniversary By Paying Off AU Debts / \Vs 'LY 15 years old hut in posses- ^-' sion of one of the finest church, properties on Long Island and entire- ly clear from debt is the happy ma- terial situation of tho Emanuel Luth- eran church , ' .he Hev. Herman 'Zoller pastor , which < .n Wednesday evening celebrated a bond burning in connec- tion with its. annual meeting. A dis- tinctive feature of the festivities was a sauerkraut supper served by more than 100 members and friends of the congregation, Mrs. George Riquots was in charge , assistetl by Mrs. Anna Zoller , wife of the pastor , and Mrs. Emma Zetigin and Mrs. Florence Roberts. Following thn supper the choir ren- dered aii anthem antl a brief but very effective .service was held by the pas- tor at the conclusion of which the bonding committee , Gustave Schmidt and Julius Becker , invited the presi- dents' of each organization of the church to put a match to several bonds ami while the bonds were consumed by the flames the congregation stand- ing said the Lord ' s Prayer in unison and sang the doxology, \Praise God from whom all blessings flow. \ The president of the church , dtt . Salzcr , called the meeting lo ordei ami Pastor Zoll er gave a short re- port of the activities and the strength of tiie growing churc h and an encour- aging word lo the official boartl. Dur- ing* the year past, the church has been going forward \ steadily. A legacy ol ?5 , 000 was received from J. Adolph Mollenhauer of Brooklyn , who always had the church at heart. He died March' G , 192G. Karl Erhardt read the treasurer ' s and budget reports , William Klingcr the report on the Sunday school; Mrs. Florence Roberts a report on doings of the Ladie s Society ; Marion PiL and Alma Zoller on account of the Luther League and Henrietta Fichtnor and William Klingcr spoke on the ac- tivities of the choir. All the reports showed excellent work accomplished. The Emamrel Lutheran Church was organized in 1912. Its meetings were held at first on the second floor of the Advance building. In 1915 the ch u rch purchased the house adjoin- the church property from Nathaniel Swezey and this house served as the parsonage for six years . In 1921 the church built the present up-to-date uarsonage west of the church buihl- ing at the cost of $C , 000, the eon- tractor and builder bcine: George Er- hardt. Thc debt of $5 ,500 was float- ed i*j bonds issued to the church mem- bers antl the several loyal friends. On January 1 , 1927 , after only five years of hard and eood -work on the part of the Ladies ' Society and all so- cieties of the church including th-7 loyal support antl contribution of many friends, the church was able to wioe ' out the indebtedness . The ev. .nt celebrated on Wednesday was an oc- casion of joy nntl thankfulness long to ho remembered. The Lutheran property comprises a considerabl e frontage in tho most cov- eted section of Patchogue. The bond- ing committee ' and all workers wor- . sincorel v thanked for the co-opera- tion antl the good service rendered the church. The committee included Gus Schmidt. Julius Becker and Gustavo Brnndnu. A group of local people were talk- ing of this and that and one asked \I wonder what arrangement people make about.getting their sidewalks cleared of snow when they close up their houses ami go South or to the city?\ \None , of course, \ a cynical hearer informed the innocent.

The editors and their associates were guests of tho Brooklyn Daily Eagle at luncheon at the Clarendon hotel and at the Eagle plant , which was inspected throughout , nnd the event wound up with attendance at the Albce theatre that night. In the fore- no on a business session was held at the Clarendon , , President Frank M. Marlow of Greenpoint presiding. Sev- era l projects for promoting the com- mon interests of the publishers were considered. It was decided to invite the New York Press Association , a state-wide organization , tq hold a two day meet- ing on Long Island in June. J.

Gunnison, president of the Eagle ; Raymond Gunnison , vice presi- dent , and Harris M. Crist , managing editor. H. F. Gunnison was pre- sented with a life honorary member- ship in the Long Island body, and sev- eral of the Long Island editors spoke briefly.

The women ' s auxiliary, of which a temporary organization was recently announced , was formally organized Monday night when Mrs . Harry Un- ger was elected president and a staff chosen from women who , like Mrs. Unger , are related to ' men active in the Elks ' fraternity and themselves well known at the club house through attendance at social affairs and giving aid in charitable and other functions in which the mere men found such aid invaluable. The auxiliary is to meet monthly, and has already started plans for a St. Valentine card par ty and dance in the lodge room ou February 14. No extensive drive for members has yet been made though an invitation was broadcast to those eligible. Now that the formal organization has been made it is expected that some means will bo taken to enlist as many as pos- sible of the Elks ' ladies in the auxil- iary. Wives , daughters , mothers and sisters of Elks are eligibl e. The oilicjal staff elected , in addition to Mrs . Unger, comprises: Vice presi- dents , Mrs. Arthur Lucas of Bellport , Mrs. Charles N.

Fire early Tuesday morning de- stroyed Oakwood Villa , a large three- story place used as a boarding house on Arthur Avenue ,. Blue Point , and there is sdme speculation as to wheth- er burglars may not have caused the fire -lighting their way through thc house , with matches or candles. An investigator for the district attorney ' s oflice was informed that the gas meter had been taken out and the electric light current disconnected Inst fall when the place was vacated. Captain and Mrs. Byron Mogor , who live nearby, discovered the fire , al- ready, well advanced , and there was a little delay in getting the fire alarm sounded as the siren was frozen up. A bell signal was given by some of the firemen and the department turned out , hampered by slush , and ice , but the blaze was beyond control. Thc burglary theory as to the cause of the fire arises from* the fact that many summer cottages in Bayport were re- centl y entered , apparently by local amateur thieves.
