Therefore it seems that if \ve did everything in our power to re- store the type of diet people abroad have been accustomed to instead of trv ing lu boost them up to our standard, we would be doing them; a -greater service.

Elks Elks replaces six trucks which have seen years of service and were traded in with another as part of the transaction. The trucks, which have Inter- national chasses -and bodies built by the Leach Co., of Oshkosh, Wis., are the last word in such vehicles. They are_much more sanitary than the old vehicles and reduce the work of the men considerably. Each is equipped with a \bucket\ into which the contents of refuse cans is poured. The collectors have to ' lift these cans only 30 inches which is considerable less, than was previously necessary. - After the \bucket\ is filled, by a hydrollicly cpntroled device, it is raised to the front and top of the truck and dumped into the body, wherd^ibere is a compressor which packs^the contents of the truck. By the action of this compressor, the body which has a capacity for 13 cubic yards of loose material, holds 20 cubic yards when it is filled. As each time the compressor works it nears the front .of the-truck, the operators -know when it is finally loaded to capacity. Trucks Cost $39,462 These trucks cost $5.792.06 each, so the price of the six totaled $34,752.36. A seventh truck for use in the business and apartment house districts will add S4.709.76 to the total, aggregating $39.462.12. Funds for this project were, in- cluded in the bond issue voted in 1945. The seventh vehicle which should be delivered in a few days, HiiH n, special ope.n body adaptable to the type of refuse prevailing in the districts it is designed to serve. Two old trucks have been recon- ditioned. One is to be a \spare\ for use when one of the others is taken out of service temporarily for repairs. The other will be used o transport non - combustable Material taken from the incinerator to the dumping grounds in the irea. Supt.\ McKeeman .announced that hereafter separate collections would be made of ashes and other types of refuge. The double collections will \be made' the \same' days as those set aside for the single pick- ups in the past, but the new system will promote efficiency at the in- cinerator and the dumping grounds. Requests v by McKeeman Mr. McKeeman made several .re- quests in announcing the plans for the operation of the new trucks. •First — That all persons provide covered cans with a capacity limit- ed to 3 cubic feet and a maximum weight of 100 pounds. Some people he said were using larger contain- ers, which under the rules of the department the collectors could re- fuse to handle. Second — That persons having brush and branches of trees to dispose of, tie them in bundles to make them easy to handle. Third—That in the business area, storekeepers refrain from putting recepticles on the curbs on Satur- day night. Frequently when this rule is violated the containers are dumped and the streets littered. This situation applfes only to stores where the cans cannot be placed in driveways or other places avail- able to the collectors. Recepticles may be put out on Sunday night, however, ready to be picked up Monday morning. Fourth — That housewives pack their garbage in paper to prevent it from being scattered and also making it unnecessary to have to clean out messy cans. He also re- quested that tin cans and other non-comfcustable materials be kept separate from garbage so that they will not be taken to the inciner- ator. Paper is all right as it aides in the burning of the garbage. _ _ ' I I ' to do so^jtMtp protect Uie dairy Interests, sliouia be repealejj. \. AniFive are\also ngirist con- Grove P.-T.A.

Flynn, Democratic leader in the Bronx for a quarter of a century, wants you to inter- pret the title \You're the Boss\ (Viking, $3.00). as meaning You! In this sane and logical explanation of the way party politics are run, Mr. Flynn tries to lay\ emphasis on the citizen's responsibility. Most of us, whether inside the party or outside, w^cKUld-undoubtedly be the wiser and a better 'voter for read- ing this book. It is an excellent contemporary political history of our day. Through his position in the Bronx and as chairman of the National Democratic Committee, 1940-1043, Mr. Flynn has known and become friends with many of the yrriii figures of the present. Entering politics, under Charles Murphy ol Tammany Hall, he saw the rise ol Jimmy Walker, ex-Mayor LaGuar- dia. former Governor Lehman. Gov- ernor Dewey and the late Presidem Roosevelt. He admits he is a political boss, that he has been attacked, that the party needs money with which to operate. He tells\ how Wilkiu lost and how Wallace became viu 1 - presideiU. He knows the inside and is seemingly very frank and fair in his statements regarding his friends and opponents. It would be an ex- cellent idea if the same type ot book could be written for the major parties and be read by all voters. This seems to be a sincere attempt on the part of Mr. Flynn to supply the voters with inside happenings.

The four- teen chapters, almost essays, take up the various people living in a fictitious village in Northern New Hampshire. Summer people and year 'round residents are in the book. Comedy, stark tragedy, love and understanding are here. The author has made \leisurely reading of extremely good character analy- sis, type so true that you will un- doubtedly brush elbows with them as you shop, or go to and from your work and may even find them among your friends.

Recruiting Service Marks Second Anniversary The second anniversary of the reopening of the U. S. Army and Air Force Recruiting Service in this district occurred last Thursday. In Oct., 1945, the first station was located in the Sunrise Building. Sunrise highway, Lynbrook. The next Aug. the station was trans- feree! to Freeport, but last April it was relocated on Sunrise high- way, opposite the Post Office. Lyn- brook. Ih September the name was changed from the U. S. Army Re- cruiting Service, to U. S. Army and Air Force Recruiting Service as it now enlists for both services. Since Oct. 9. 1945. more than 300 men from various communities of Nas- sau's South Shore have enlisted through this station. Many excellent opportunities aie available for travel, career and education in either of these two services. The personnel of this station it was announced, would like to. thank all who have maik the assignment to this station both pleasant and successful. \Without the generous cooperation of public officials, veteran and civic organi- zations, schools, press, merchants and the public, we could never have attained the success that \v have had,\ it was said. . The charities that soothe, nr.«l heal, and bless. lie scattered at ilv feet of men like flowers. - Wnrdswo] m Your SINGER SEWING CENTER Offers the Edison L Emmert Natufopath Chiropractor ra/ust Invites tlie sick and the lame to try adjustments, mas- sage and electrical treatments Phone FReeport 9-3290 For Appointment 40 BROOKLYN AVENUE - Freeport, L.
