¦T JOE FANELLI ¦MMwmMmnm iii tuirMmn iiMiimuuuiuiiiuiunii mwm i ii iiiii ii inii iiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiii There is such a wide divergence between the dateline and the deadline of the BULLETIN that every once in a while it becomes necessary for us to explain. We usually do it at election time by way of letting our readers know why we cannot come up with the complete returns for the edition im- mediately following Election Day. The BULLETIN carries a Thursday dateline. This is by tradition. In order that the paper can be on the newsstands and (hopefully ) in the homes on Thursday for those who subcribe , we have the paper pasted together on Tuesday afternoons. What this does for us is that we have the complete newspapers at our office overnigh t Tuesday - Wednesday. They are carried to the newsstands on Wednesday morning. They are stamped for mailing on Wednesday morning and sent through the Bay Shore Post Office each Wednesday. Sometimes there is a breakdown in the post office service. Sometimes we are at fault , or our mailer is at fault in getting the product to you on time. But all of us along the line try . The embarrassing thing is , however , is for a local story to \break\ overnight Tuesday Wednesday because we can 't print it. We get calls that we ' ve fallen down on the job. Tain 't so! We try to do things a bit dif- ferently on Election Night. Our printer holds the front page for us unul about 11 p.m., maybe as late as 11:30. We prepare in advance front page boxes listing the names of the candidates. These names are printed in advance and pasted in the boxes in ad- vance. We also write alternate headlines for each of the boxes , alternate banners. We try to show the completion of the coverage (109 of 140 election districts , for instance). Then , as we get the returns late Tuesday night we pick the headlines , give the figures , and attempt to give our readers a pretty good picture of what wen t on. Sometimes we have a long night trying to do this - longer than we had anticipated. But it' s always been interesting, and most gra tifying when the corrent headlines show up in the com- pleted edition ! » • * Notes from Chases ' Calendar: Saturday is John Adams ' (1735 ) birthday.

The town of Southold had not one but a bevy of amateur wireless en- thusiasts in the early 1900s. According to the late Wilson L. Glover of Southold , he and his brothers. Clarence and Elwood , together with Israel P. Terry, Henry Fitz of Peconic and the Ely brothers , were \in the vanguard of Suffolk County ' s North Fork wireless dilettantes \ . The Glovers ' woodhouse served as their station , with an aerial stretching from the ridgepole of farmer Nelson Bishop ' s nearby barn to a tall cherry tree. Their favorite wireless con- nection was with the U.S. Naval Station at Pensacola , Florida , from whence messages came through loud and clear . Their greatest inter ference emanated from the German- owned Tellefunken station at West Sayville , installed and main- tained as the mouthpiece of Kaiser Wilhelm ' s worldwide spy system . That installation was seized by our Navy Department when we entered the first Worl d War in 1917. Mr. Glover told of a day in 1911 when a neighbor, Frank C. Horton , was entertaining a young man employed by the New York Marconi Wireless Company, which later became RCA. The guest visited the woodhouse station and tried out the home- made set , sending out messages with a masterful skill. Later they learned that their visito r was David Sarnoff who was dest i ned to become the head man at. RCA. Glen Cove ' s Dosoris Fro m time to time we mention \Dosoris \ . a name gi ven many years ago to a section of what is now the city of Glen Cove. The name was bestowed upon the area by the Rev. Benjamin Woolsey and (lis wife , Abigail , who owned and occup ied the 300- acre premises from 1 736 to 1756 , after he had retired as pas ' .ur of the Old First Church at Southold. The property was Abigail' s legacy from lier father , John Tay lor of Oyster Bay, who died in 1735. She had become Benjamin Woolsey ' s wife in 1714 and they had lived in Southold from 1 720 to 1735 when they moved to their property in Musketa (Glen ) Cove . The name Dosoris is a contraction from dos uxoris , meaning wife ' s dowry , which the Rev. Woolsey though both ac- curate and euphonious. The Rev . Benjamin was born at Jamaica L.I. in 1 687 and was graduated from Yale College in 1709. He was the son of Capt. George Woolsey, a native of western Long Island. Before being acquired by Mrs . Woolsey ' s father the Dosoris estate had been owned by Daniel Whitehead of Oyster Bay, and before that by Lewis Marris of the Barbadoes. The Rev . Woolsey lived until 1756 and his widow until 1771 , leaving Dosoris , three-fifths to son Melanthon and the remainder to son Benjamin. In 1760 Nathaniel Coles pur- chased the proper ty for 7 ,600 pounds. Bequeathed to his sons , Joh n Butler Coles and General Nathaniel Coles , the property was acquired in 1850 by George James Price , whose family oc- cupied it for many years. It was eventually subdivided and its original lines lost as Musketa Cove became Glen Cove , and a thriving citv. Some Historical Gleanings Eugene Fenelon , who served as mayor of Newport Beach , Cal., was born and brought up in Sag Harbor during the late 1800s. So were Thomas Howard, who became superintenden t of the Elgin Watch Company ' s California factory, and H. N. Fordham , who became a leading educator there. Another Sag Harborite , George Sterling, became poet laureate of California and still another , Prentice Mulford , became a nationally known jour nalist there. Long Island has been blockaded three times : first during the Revolution when the British pretty much controlled all the surrounding waters; second during the War of 1812 when vessels of the British fleet patrolled the offshore waters and anchored in Gardiner ' s Bay. The third occasion came in the spring of 1925 when Simon K. Sands , superintenden t of the Fourth Coast Guard District , declared a blockade of both the Fire Island and Oak Island inlets: \to stop, board and search every vessel of every description entering the waters of Great South Bay \ , in an effort to halt rum-running . The Suffolk County Medical Society is 165 years old , having been organized in 1806 , and is one of the state ' s oldest organizations of its kind . The late Dr. Frank Overton ol Patchogue compiled a history of the society in the early 1900s. The current society historian is Dr. Morris Robert Keen of Huntington who has done a great deal of research and currently has a fine exhibit at the Sufi oik Academy of Medicine head quarters on Veteran ' s high- way in Hauppauge . By Lloyd Moreland November 2nd Approaches ... Back in 1776 the American colonists , led by a bunch of \kooks \ , who no doubt seemed as \ way out\ to the reserved men of that day as today ' s radicals seem to us now , started a revolution against what was deemed tyranny on the part of England and its ample bellied king, George III. Of course, if the Boston Tea Party were reenacted today we would dump booze or pot into the harbor , not tea. Can you imagine getting into a big international hassl e over tea??? Like most radicals , tliose of 1776 could only start the war. It took men of stature like Washington to win it. And then it took six more years before statesmen like Jefferson, Madison , Jay, Hamilton and their cohorts were able to develop a constitution and save the new nation from disaster before it even got started. What 1 am getting at is this . It took a lot of doing by a small group of brave men to build the democracy which we have had a tendency lo take for granted over the intervening years. Oh , to be sure , we have fought a bunch of wars since then , alwavs with grea t slogans like \ preserving the union \ and \ making the world sale lor dem ocracy \ , but alter each war we went back to the habit ol taking for granted thai for w heh we had been lighting. One ol the rights that was guaranteed us as a result of achieving independence was the right to vole. This precious privileg e , denied to men in many lands even today, we have made light of , given li p service to , or even ignored , except , that is , in moments of real emergency when we think our own im- mediate lives are being destroyed , or at least threatened , b y such catastrophies as bussing our beloved offspring fro m the Iriendl y confines of our lovely neighborhood and offtimes overrated school. Boy, do we vote then!! At any rate , the above was a pseudo-intellectual preface to remind you that next Tuesday, November 2 , is Election Day when you should exercise your Iranchise. Some of you , naive souls that you are r will stay away from the polls because this year does not produce a Presidential , nor Congressional , nor State contest. You should realize , of course , that in some ways the local elections are even more important to you. Several weeks ago I urged you to support that no ble son of Erin , John Patrick Finnerty, who is a candidate for Islip Town Coun- cilman. It was refreshing to learn how many are as enthusiastic about him as I am. I should now also like to urge you to vote for George Aspland , who has served us well for six years as our county ' s District Attorney. George is not the flamboyant type which some district attorneys , by the nature of the job , become. He is a quiet , self effacing man , not par- ticularly a \ natural\ for this type of job. But he has produced for us in an honest and dedicated fashion and merits your support for another term. I am not deprecating the remainder of the Republican learn , nor am I castigating all of the Democratics and the Liberals and the Conservatives , and another other party which may have recently been born . There are good men m all of them . What I am saying is thai 1 do know Finnerty and Asp land , and while you may not know them personally you SHOULD know their excellent record ol public service. They have already established themselves , and if you don ' t vote for them you should apply for psychiatric counseling no later than Novem ber 3. Always on Thursday S p iro Agnew prefers our Greek columns over those he sees in America...
