RUG-GED INDIVIDUAL %° g& of 77 Robert street , Patchogue. Mr. Quint , a re- tired Y.MCA executive , spends his idle hours at a rug frame drawing strips of colored woo l through a burlap base to create some of the finest hooked rugs on Long Island. In his role as a rug-maker , .M r. Quint receives valuable hel p fro m 'his wife , Ethel , who studied art design at Pratt institute. The photo shows Mr. Quint at work on a partly-completed rug. The colored wool strips can be seen hanging over the top of the frame holding the bu rlap on which the design is drawn. —Advance Photo Rug Wo rk Is Colo rf u l Hobb y Jus * What The Docto r O rdered: By Charles H. Clark Back in the hey-day of vaude- ville, the comics used to say that the best way to- hook rug's was to ' do it while no one was looking. But , according: to Charles W. Quint of 77 Robert street , Patch- ogue , there ' s more to it than that. Mr. Quint , who bega n making hooked rugs as a hobby back in 1949 , has a roomfu l of colorful floor doilies to prove it. Secretary of the West Side branch , YMCA , in New York city for 35 years , Mr. Quint i^etired tit the age of C5 and took to hooking ru^s upon the advice of Dr . A. W. Swenson of Patchogue who , tteat; ed Mr. Quint for a serious illness which left the ex-YMCA executive with a heart ailment. To pass the hours without too much excitement or physical exer- tion , Mr. Quint took the medic ' s advice and bought himself a rug frame , some wool and a rug hook and began turning out some of the rnest hooked rugs to be found on Long Island. Mr. Quint ' s wife , Ethel , who studied art design at Pratt in- stitute , gives valuable advice on . color blending: and shading ami often changes the rug: designs to create Quint originals. Making a hooked rug is an in- volved process and Mr. Quint' s initial effort took three months. Now he can turn out a 31x40-inch beauty in less time if necessary but he prefers to work on the frame for only an hour or two at a time. Mr. Quint starts on a rug proj- ect by stretching a piece of bur- lap, on which the rug design is outlined , on. the rug frame. Then he draws strips of wool through the burlap with the rug needle using as many as 30 different colors and shades to achieve the proper effect. As he comp letes one section of the rug, the ma- terial is rolled up on the frame roller leaving only the unfinished portion exposed. ft takes a considerable quanti- ty of these wool stri ps , cut one- eighth of an inch wide and about 12 inches long to complete a single rug. Mr. Quint first used his photographic print trimmer to slice the strips from woolen yard goods and late r found it quicker and easier to use a sewing ma- chine attachment. When he finds it impossible; to obtain wool of a desired color in a store , he uses an old wool blanket or Mrs. Quint dyes some wool to the proper shade. The Quint-made hooked rugs are all washable and the colors do not Jo. *' their brilliance . Some of his ru gs have been valued at $100 and over. Mr. Quint' s first hooked rug, made when be . started bis hobby, occupies n place of honor on the front door next to a tall wooden chair which was made fro m a pew in the church where Shakespeare was buried at Stratford-on-Avon. Need Funds to Sto p Threat to Chickens CENTEREACH—A widely representative group of Long Island poultrymen met at the fireball here on Tuesday night to launch a concerted health campaign to keep air sac disease fro m doing further damage to Long Island chickens. The Long Island Poultry asso-< ciation is fearful that air sac , a \ virus infection , will become as widespread on Long Island as the disease is in the Del-Mar-Va pen- insula where the world' s largest poultry area is located. In this Delaware , Maryland , Vir- ginia section losses this year from air sac will run as high as .$20 , - 000 , 000. The mortality rate there is higher than 25 per cent. In Georgia losses will exceed $17 , - 000 , 000 and in Mississippi poultry- men will lose more than $3 , 000 , - 000. On Long Island , according to Suffolk Farm bureau estimates , the loss to Nassau and Suffolk poul- trymen since July I , l'Jal , is ap- proximately $7. r )0 , 0(IO .

To wnsp e op le Ask Sunda y Law Rep e al Members of Board Announce Findings Of 3-Week Surve y Members of the Brookhaven Town board , report- ing to Supervisor Philipp A. Hattemer Wednesday on the results of a three-week survey conducted throug hout the township, revealed that with one exception businessmen , organizations and private citizens are in favor of out- right repeal , or amendment of the Sabbath law. The single exception to repeal of the so-called \blue law , \ which prevents sale of certain materials on Sunday, was found in Stony Brook where the entire compara- tively small shopp ing area is con- trolled by the Stony Brook Com- munity fund which restored the business section in an authentic colonial setting. Elsewhere in Brookhaven town , the justices found a solid front of opposition to enforcement of the law. To obtain the public ' s op inion the members of thej Town board visited church groups , civic , fraternal and service clubs and buttonholed consumers in their areas. Reporting Wednesday tha board members gave the following views of the various sections of Brook- haven Town: Justice Lester H. Davis said the Middle Island area was very much against enfo rcement of the Sab- bath law. He found no one in favor of the , enforced Sunday closings. Justice Carl Ruhland announced that Setauket was unanimously in favor of repeal of the \blue law . \ Justice Donald W. Shaw report- ed that he could find no one in the Bellpo rt section who favored the law as it stands at present. He said ' all the organizations and businessmen in his area expressed vigorous opposition to the law. Justice William T. B oa gev gcw- erin? the North Patchogue , Blue Point and East Patchogue areas , revealed that businessmen and consumers alike were against the Sabbath law which many termed \ ridiculous in these times. \ Justice Ulysses W. Johnson re- ported that the Moriches-Mastics area was very strongly opposed to the ' law. He presented a petition with severa l hundred si gnatures fro m businessmen , property owners and residents of the Mastic area asking that the Town board pass a resolution calling for a bill to ; repeal the Sabbath law as far as Suffolk county is concerned . / The Mastic area businessmen J are strongl y against the law , the ! justice said , because it seriously • threatens the summer income which constitutes the bulk of tha businessmen ' s revenue each year. They claim this area has grown into a foremost resort • area and the law perils their financial exist- ence. Justice Kenson D. Merrill , who canvassed from Port Jefferson to Wading River , found an equally strong sentiment against the Sun- day closing law. He presented pe- titions , calling for the revoking of the law in full or in part , sign- ed by several thousand residents of the area. Justice Harold C. Sorenson re- ported that the churches , civic as- sociations , fire departments and Lions club in the Ronkonkoma sec- tion all were against the law , espe- cially during the summe r months. He revealed that the churches felt that the Sunday law repeal would not hurt church attendance. Supervisor Hattemer announced that he , too , had found strong anti- Sabbath law sentiment* through- oat'tlte town ship. He .pointed oofr that some people were ond s r tbftf Continued on page 3 , this section Polls Open Tuesday f or Primary Election; No Intra-Party Contests Suff olk' s 210 polling places will open next Tuesday, August 19 , f or the second primary election of 1952 , with 79 , 101 voters qualified to cast ballots. Because the poll is entirel y devoid of intra-party con- tests , an even smaller turnout than the 11 , 000 who voted for presi- dential convention delegates last April 22 is anticipated. Both the Suffolk Republican organization , which has G4 . 506* enrollee. , and the county Demo- cracy, with 14 , 390 , will be striv- ing to get the vote out , but with the inducement of contests and issues lacking, they face a diffi- cult task.

Republican County Chairman R. Ford Hughes is writing to all members of the County commit- tee urging them to make every effort to get as many party mem- bers as possible to the polls on that day, pointing out the impor- tance of recording a heavy vote for the party ' s designees in this important Presidential election year. In marked contrast to the Au- gust primary a yea r ago , when contests of one kind or another prevailed in every district that lesulted later in the election of Mr .
