For Night Sessions; Ask Mall Shrubbery At Its monthly meeting in Exempt Firemen 1 Hall Monday night, the Southwest Civic Association, voted to request the Public Service Com r mission to hold future hearings on the application of the Long Island Rail Road for an additional fare increase in Frceport, either in the Municipal Building or the High School auditorium. It *ttso was proposed that these 'hearings be conducted at night. It was con- tended that FYeeport would be a central place in which to hold the gatherings. The association also went on record as favoring the planting of shrubbery in the mall -along Sun- rise highway. Sylvester Haberman, of the Rotary Club of Freeport, which originated the idea, ex- plained . the State would plant the shrubbery, but that it would have to be maintained by the village. Attention was called to the fact that present lighting facilities were nadequate to provide proper illum- .nation for the wide roadway with ,ts black pavement. Trustee Lean- ard D. B. Smith said the Village Board realized this and had given t serious consideration. He added t had been estimated it would cost $40,000 to install a new system, which was out of the question, io it now was proposed to erect ;jolcs with arms extending over the •oadway, and to, substitute 10,000 watt bulbs^ for thoso now in use. After Trus-eo Smith hud ex- plained the need of parking T.olds in Freeport, the association went on record as favoring the proposed S593,300./bond issue on which a hearing was held Tuesday night.

Keeps Hands Clean As He Clears Lawn Of Autumn Leaves i Nicely kept lawns furnish adequate \Comfort Stations\ for the members of the Canine population of Freeport, greatly to the inconvenience of the owners in cleaning up the leaves dropped from the trees. A former village official, who desires to be known only as Mr. Anonymous, has suggested to THE LEADER a simple way to ovcrsomc this inconvenience without even the need of re- sorting to the wearing of gloves. 1 He rakes the leaves into a pile. Then he shoves an old automobile license plate under the pile, puts another on top, shoves one hand under the lower plate and lays, the other over the top one. lifts up the leaves and carries them to wherever he plans to burn them. He says that in this \ay he is able to carry at least a basket of leaves at one time and still keep his hands clean.
