The resolution of the Chamber reads as follows:\ \We the Freeport Chamber of Commerce, desire to call to the attention of the Board of Trus- tees of the Village of Freeport, the condition that exists of park- ed cars south of Sunrise highway, having no lights of any kind thereon. \Owing to the order of the Ci- vilian Defense Council, no cars traveling north or south of Sun- rise highway can drive with other than parking lights on. This makes it almost impossible to see a parked car until the--driver is almost upon it; Our concern Is with those who are serving In some jzanaoiiy. during the \gu^tlon ^f this war, and we are fearful that on some occasion a severe acci- dent will occur. \We fully appreciate the posi- tion of the Village Board in rela- tion to matters of this kind and know that they are endeavoring to do something about this situa- tion. We again urge that some action be taken at once, clearing up this existing danger.\ The Northeast Civic Association, in its communication signed by Secretary Anthony Mirabella, urg- ed that \something be done, either the owners of these cars keep their, parking .lights on so as to give motorists a chance to see them, or else they'be not permitted to park on the streets all night.\ Wor Bonds Stomps Freeport's total for the U.S.O. fund was increased to more than $8,000 as a result of the contri- butions \by Barasch's Department store nnd Whitehead's Tavern, Dr. Milton B.
