This i.s news of first rale magnitude , for heretofore Adcl p hi ' s Sayville branch in the former Sayville Junior Hig h .school has j ust been a (wo-year school. What the Adel p hi announcement means is that qualified hi g h school graduates soon will have an opportunity to comp lete an en- tiro four-year college program and earn a bachelor ' s degree within the borders of Suffolk county. The Adel p hi expansion , p his the in- stitution b y western Long Island colleges and universities of more and more ex- tension classes here in .Suffolk , is wel- come news , indeed . But it should only serve to point up the need for additional permanent hig her education facilities in this county. One of the priority HJW) goals of the new Suffolk Board of Supervisors should be to get the recentl y-approved commu- nity college into operation , even il in temporary quarters. All indications point to tilt; location of this community college in Brookhaven town , which will be good news for local residents. Il is also to be hoped that the state speeds up Ihe establishment of its proposed fotir-vear college in Stony Brook on land alread y donated for this purpose b y shoe mag- na te Ward Melville. Establishment ol sufficient hig her edu- cation facilities here in Suffolk will not onl y permit more ol our youth to go on to college but will mean economic bene- fits to the area as well . Adel p hi has blazed the way. We hope other fat ilities will follow shortl y. Stafe of Mind Most of tht! railroad' s present prob- lems could be eliminated il Congress and the public would simp l y bring a new stale of mind to bear on the sub- j ect. The state of mind that developed public policy toward the railroads 10 years ago il .stubbornl y followed today can leutl onl y to transportation chaos. The railroads arc no longer a uni que or monopolistic utility. They are an es- sential part of the hi g hl y competitive transportation industry . For examp le , under the new liberali- zation of the Baihoad Retirement and Unemp loyment Compensation Act , the rails are saddled with well an: costs al- most three times as great as those borne b y all other emp loyers ol labor , includ- ing rail competitors. In the first year the amendments will cost the industry aver §120 million and b y 1U()U bring the total increase to nearl y $250 million . No one hits even bothered to exp lain wh y tinder the Railroad Retirement Act the railroads must pay (v 'i per cent on the first $-1 , 800 of yearl y salary, while a truck line pays onl y 2. ' : per cent under Social Security. Another examp le of the public and congressional state ol mind which has been forcing the railroads into an in- creasing l y precarious situation is the \ieatheibedding ' issue. Here again the rise of competition and technological improvement ha\ e made the state ol mind that drew up (he railroad work rules 10 years ago, as obsolete as the sailing shi p. \No genius is required to strai g hten out the situation . . . lair minded leg is- latures , it fair minded Congress . . . can do the j ob , \ says Russell Dcarinoiit , Missouri Pacific president . |ust a chang- ed state ol mind is required which does not regard railroading as uni que anil dillcrent Irom till other business . Grass Roots Opinions HICIILAXD , LA., HEACO.X \ 1A\S: \ Whether one realizes il or not . adver- tising is perhap s the most wonderful development ol the modern commercial age. It i.s the maker or bleaker ol busi- ness , big or little . It i.s the one factor ol successful sales that is most apt to be overlooked by the merchants and businessmen of small towns and cities . Advertising i.s . , . the power that will make little concerns grow into larger success. It i.s a science that requires stud y and be it said , character . It can- not succeed if it is based upon untinlh; it must build upon faith and integrity . \ Think It Throug h H > !•:. !• ' . Mutton I'RI-X IOCS MKTAI. We all know how little education Abraham Lincoln got — j ust enoug h to make him a master of the Eng lish lan- guage; to think strai g ht ; to love liberty ; lo symp athize with the poor and lowl y. Daniel Webster was another poor boy. When he was 13 , he invested all he had in a cheap cotton hankcrchief on which was printed the Constitution of his country, lie learned the Constitution b y heart without it teacher , school board or \federal aid. \ With this handkerchief as his first law library, he became the greatest ex- pounder and defender the Constitution lias ever had. When he died , more peop le missed him than anyone since Washington. Elj lm Ruriitt , \The Learned Black- smith , \ was another \ underprivileged child. \ When Hi he was apprenticed to a blacksmith. Stud y ing at ni g ht , and with no hig h school or college , he learned to read 50 languages and be- came a world leader against war and slavciy, antl in behalf of temperance. When they were small children , Lin- coln walked four miles and back to a log cabin school , and Webster three miles and hack. They developed strong constitutions! The cute today lor everything is more money. But education needs some- thing more precious than in.i .. y. Another poor boy, Herbert Hoover , worked his way throug h college and became a mining engineer known where- over metals , such as iron or copper , are found. These young folks had another kind of metal — inside them. Precious metal! Brookhaven Town Needs t* Denotes proj ect comp leted. 1.

Stuyvesant Wainwright Once again this column will report to you on the national events which aflect our lives. It will also cover those Fed- eral activities which have a direct bear- ing on our Long Island. M y column serves as a weekl y report to you. Anyone trul y interested in the human events which shape our destiny can readil y be informed of my views on these and other maj or matters. This i.s a j oint ven- t u r e. I personall y write the column each week , and your paper publishes it as a public service, in addition , each Sun- day morning I bring you a 15 minute radio Ren. w»inwright report over your local station. At that time your letters are read and discussed; other members of Congress , representing both political parties , partici pate as my guests and debate the key issues of the week. Anyone following this column regu- larl y cannot hel p but realize that the task of a United Slates congressman is not as p ictured in the history and gov- ernment books. They are 50 years be- hind the times. The portrait of a states- man who can sit back in carelul con- temp lation of three or four major issues , hand out a few Federal j obs , and then gti back to his (arm , mi g ht have been true for the first century and a quarter of our national existence. Today a Con- gressman spends SO per cent of his time serving as a catal yst , a brid ge between the constituent and the g iant colossus of government. M y professional , non- political staff and 1 spend the greatest part of each day, all year around , on matters such as Mrs. Jones ' pension case , Mrs. Smith' s son in the military service , Mr. Doe ' s veterans claim , the Imagine Corporation ' s trouble with the Defense department , etc. This leaves all too little time to worry about such key matters as national defense , the bud get , the steel strike , labor corruption , our relations wilh Cuba , and income tax reduction —lo mention a handful of many hun- dreds of serious questions which Con- gress must lace during any year, be- cause ol the seniority system a congress- man i. s better able to perform his duties the longer he is in office.

Now , the question ' s come up: \How did Spectacle pond get its name?\ Consulting Mrs. Bette Davis , our Lake Roonkonkoma correspondent and expert on such matters , we find that Spectacle pond was so named because it consists of two small ponds di- vided in the middle by a road. This gives the appearance of a nose piece and the two ponds , the eye glasses. * * • MAN'S BEST FRIEND — The barking of a dog led to the dis- covery of a Blue Point man who had fallen unconscious in his back yard Friday morning. Ralph Abrams , 82 , of Brook ave- nue , had gone to his back yard to empty trash when he suffered a dizzy spell. He then passed out. A Dalmation , \Patch , \ owned by Richard Hambley, who lives across the street , barked until Mr. Hambley decided to investigate. Mr. ' Hambley telephoned Mr. Abrams ' sister , Mrs. Harry Beare of Patchogue , antl Dr . Jacob Breier of Blue Point , who ordered him tr.ken to the South Shore Con- valescent Home. Monday, Mr. Abrams was re- porte d doing well at the convales- cent home , and h a d received numerous calls from well wishers. Visitors , however , must be limited for the time being. * * * HAPPY NEW YEAR was cele- brated in tine fashion by Mr. and Mrs. Edward C. Day of !l Allan drive , Sayville , 20 seconds after midnig ht New Year ' s day as their daughter , Theresa Marion , Suf- folk' s first baby in liltiO , came into the world. Theresa ' s arrival at Southside hospital , Bay Shore, was live seconds late of making her the first Long Island baby of liltiO—a Nassau arrival received that coveted title. Mrs. Day is the former Marion White , daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elwin White of Farm-to-Market road , hake Ron- konkoma. The Days also have two sons—one born on ('hristmas day live years ago. Now Christmas day and New Year ' s day will be days of additional si gnificance for the Days. * * * UPCOMING AUTHOR—Gordon Forbes , former Patchogue Advance sports editor and now a staff sports writer for the Jacksonville (Fla.)

The blaze broke out at about t!::i(l p. in. and was out by 7 p. m. Fire Chief Wintield Corston said no cause for the fire had yet been determined , but said there was a possibility of arson. He said power had been cut oil' in the empty ollice , which is located over the Miles ' Shoe Store. There was a minor amount of water damage to the store , but not enough to warrant its closing. * * * WAKE-UP TIME — One of our presents for Christma s was a clock-radio. Afte r spending two hours in order to maste r every in- tricacy of the machine , we set the radio-alarm for 10 a. m., a nice time to wake up Christmas morn- ing. The radio woke us nt 4:30 a. m. with a spirited version of \Under the Double Eagle , \ played by th» Vienna Light Cavalry band. It was done very well. Still in my nigh t- shirt , I had my rifle off the rack , and mother, still in her curlers, was packing my knapsack with a box lunch. Then we realized we had been duped by the infernal machine. We ' ve both gone back to the alarm clock. It' s not as pleas- ant , of course , but in springs we trust. Take your electricity and give it back to the Indians. I he Modern I rend!

O'Keefe of Letters Praises Ostermann Editor , The Patchogue Advance: Hope you will find ' a space for this article. Just couldn ' t see the New Year pass without giving a tribute to our neighbor and friend for many years in this community, former Town Clerk Henry F. Os- termann , better known to all as Harry. He has been an outstanding pub- lic servant for the past 25 years , not only as a town oflicial but on our local school boards—always ready and willing to hel p and do the best for this community. As a justice of the peace , he went all-out to hel p many that came before him , and hel ped solve their problems no matter how small the problem might have been. As presi- dent and a board member of our school for many years , he always fought for what he thought best for our children and school system , never afraid to speak foi- what he thought best when asked for an opinion on any decision. Am sure many others in the Town of Brookhaven feel as I do about Mr. Ostermann. M. R. Blue Point , January 2 , 1060.
