The Patchogue Fire Department band , organized last year and competing for the first time this year , was voted the best band in the parade and also won the award for having the most men in line. And the Forty Thieves of the Van Guard Hose company of the Patchogue department gave the Playboys their stiffes t competition. The Van Guard s finished second in seven events , but generally seemed to find the East Moriches entry one jump ahead . They won one first-place prize. North Patchogue also had its moment of glory when its Ladies ' auxiliary was voted the best ap- pearing unit in the parade. Total point resul ts in the tour- nament were distributed as fol- lows: East Moriches , 54; Van Guards , 26; Center Moriches , 11; North Patchogue , six; Brook- haven , five ; Hagerman , three; Yaphank , two , and Engine com- pany, one. Jack Kanas is cap- tain of the fast-moving Playboys , and Walter Smith led the Van Guards. The Playboys brought home 12 trophies by finishing first in 10 out of 12 events , finishing second in another and third in one more. Added to those were the winning of permanent possession of two leg-trophies , and the first leg on the new trophy offered this year by the Euclid Hose company of Patchogue in honor of its sixtieth anniversary.

Civics Suggest Traffic Changes For Selden Area Several Serious Accidents Lead to Group ' s Action ; To Consult Chief Bridge SELDEN — A special meeting of the Selden Civic association was held Thursday night at Na- tures Gardens clubhouse to dis- cuss the , ¦ many serious automo- bile accidents occurring in Selden recently and to try to find a way of preventing future accidents. The officers of the association met recently and discussed the problem. It was suggested that stop signs be erected at the inter- sections of Lake drive and Ever- green drive , Adirondack drive and Middle Country road , High- view drive and Middle Country road , and Magnolia drive and Middle Country road. It was also suggested that the light at Evergreen drive and Middle Coun- try road operate on a 24-hour schedule. This has been the prac- tice since the accidents . It was also suggested that the speed limit signs be erected throughout the village and that the speed sign of 30 miles an hour be erected on cross roads coming into Route 25. It was also thought that a traffic light should be placed at Adirondack drive and the high- way, and Highway drive and the highway, so that traffic coming east and west into Selden will have to slow up. These sugges- tions will be presented to Brook- haven Town Police Chief Edward I N. Bridge , who is working on the I problem. The secretary of the Civic association was instructed to write to Robert S. Still , town superintendent of highway s, thanking him for his cooperation in this project.

LABOR Only the active have the true relish of life. —John Jay Bayport Woman Who Shot Self Taken Off Hospital Critical List BAY SHORE—Mrs. Barbara Smith Fowler , 28-year-old Bay- port woman who was shot through the head last Wednesday after- noon in what she later admitted to State police was a suicide at- tempt , has been taken off the critical list at Southside hospital here , and hospital officials said last«> night she is showing improve- ment. Mrs. Fowler , whose first hus- band was Thomas P. Fowler , son of a well-known Brightwaters at- torney, Stanley C. Fowler , and ; whose second husband was H. Harding Isaacson , Sayville fu- nera l director , had been living with her mother , Mrs. Herbert W. Richter , in Mrs. Richter ' s home on Middle road in Bayport. Mrs . Richter , on returning from a shopping trip to Patchogue , found her daughter in her second- floor bedroom Wednesday after- noon. She was treated by Dr. J. J. McCoy of Sayville and taken i to Southside hospital in the Say- ville Community ambulance. State police who investigated the shooting said that Mrs . Fowl- er left no note , but had threaten- ed several times to take her life. She was shot with a .32 calibre revolver owned by J. Francis Pagels , her brother-in-law , who also lived in the house. The re- volver was kept in a bathroom linen cjoset , and four unfired ca rt- ridges remained in it. The bullet , which entered the skull ahead of the right ear , emerged over the bridge of the nose. Mrs. Fowler is a granddaughter of the widel y-known shi pbuilder , the late William Todd. 'Wildcat ' Strike Halts Patchogue Bus Commuters Discharge of Nassau Line Driver Starts Walkout ; Tie-up Ends Tuesday Some 3 , 500 would-be bus-riders were without transportation here from 6:30 a. m. Saturday until 4:30 p. m. Tuesday when employes of the Utility Lines , Inc., walked off the job in support of a wild- cat work stoppage by drivers and maintenance men of the Bee Line , Inc., in Nassau county. The walkout was called by members of CIO Transport Work- ers union , Local 252 , in protest against the discharge of a Bee Line driver because of a \bad accident record\ and against a new fall timetable which , the driv- ers maintained , called for speed- up schedules. In Patchogue , Utility Lines Vice President John Carr said the walkout was a violation of tho union contract which contains a no-strike clause and which runs until January, 1953. The issue at stake , Mr. Carr said yesterday, did not concern Utility Lines in any way. The local line is a subsidiary of the Bee Line company but has its own schedules. Because of the Labor Day holi- day, many more bus commuters who would have felt the effect of the walkout did not suffer incon- venience until returning to work Tuesday morning. The buses were running again in time to carry the commuters home Tuesday night.

The group was first addressed by Suffolk Republican Chairman R. Ford Hughes who welcomed the committee ' s participation in the presidential campaign and promised all possible assistance from his organization whenever asked. Mr. Hughes then warned the \Ike \ leaders that for Eisenhower to win in November it was im- perative that an all-out drive be conducted by all org%nizations fa- voring Eisenhower ' s election. Before leaving, Mr. Hughes was given a vote of appreciation by the group for his very active sup- port of Eisenhower at the July National convention. A program was then set up to be directed by each town leader. This included the establishment of various headquarters throughout * the county and the staffing of these for the purpose of distribut- ing campaign buttons , information and literature. A speaker ' s com- mittee under the chairmanship of Neal Wickersham of Huntington and John Lester of East Hamp- ton was established. A concerted drive will be made by the Citizen Eisenhower group encouraging everyone regardless of party affiliation to register in order to be able to vote in the elections. Presiding at the meeting were James T. Sidcy and John F. Luch- singer, both of Patchogue , county Eisenhower chairmen. In a statement issued last night , the two county leaders stressed the independent status of the citizen ' s group, stating, \ we are not interested in any- one ' s party choice. \Our group is made up chiefly of independents plus many Demo- crats and Republicans. We are only interested in whether a per- son wants to see Eisenhower elected . We u rge everyone inter- ested in this ca . use to contact his town C itizen leader or send a post card to the Patchogue hotel , Pat- chogue , with his name and ad- dress. The chairman in that area will contact the writer , and pro- vide him with complete informa- tion. \We strongly urge everyone to join in this crusade for good gov- ernment based on integrity of people in office and a practical well-directed foreign policy. \ Hp^^rrnriT^Hi BE WISE PB^^ - M I II JI I J TL ECONOMIZE ¦i^ ElEByHCilE AT ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 3 SM I TH ' S TENDE R JUICY , CHUCK ^H-flU ^^^^ fl^ ( (CHOICE [^HH^l^^F .d^BSSSSSsV •¦¦ •¦••• \¦¦ i^HMBtfMMa ^MNMMSMMP ^MMHM !¦ »¦ ¦' \ II ^MMMMMMW ** U.
