Monday night at the monthly meeting of the Southwest Civic Association in Exempt Fire- men's Hall. President William Al- bert presided. Mr. Smith reported on a survey made by the Educational Confer- ence Board into the need of pro- viding adequate state assistance for school. He announced it had recommenced a grant of $103,000,- 000 in additional statn funds for the schools. Mr. Smith said that if this recommendation was ac- cepted by the Legislature, it would m.an a substantial reduction in school taxes. He advocated putting education first on the list for appropriations, conceding that if this was done, there would be less for Welfare and other state functions. He pre- dicted that unless Freeport re- ceived assistance, Freeport's school tox ^ rate next yeaiv would probably pass the $2-mark as a result of- the bond Issues tor trie Seaman nve. school and the school site In the southwest, plus higher salaries for teachers and other items. Assemblyman Carlino said the state had to finance all its agencies, and would not grant ad- ditional aid for schools unless it was given greater control over them. He added that the present tremendous increase in school taxes was due to the back-log of expan- sion which has been forced on the 'various-districts; The association vot'd to request Rev.

He warned against taking :hc breathing space following the war as an indication that peace prevails. \Fellow citiz us,\ he said, \this is :i great error. The tasks of patrio- tism are not over. The signing of treaties means a greater task has to be accomplished. Me must main- tain the peace for which our armed forcis fought. Therefore the de- mand for patriotism is gr.ater. There is the reaction from the strain of war, of the returning vet- eran in re-establishing home rela- tionship. There remain the prob- lems of labor and management and production. Thci e are to be met the national debt and taxes. One could go on for some time enum- erating the various problems of the nation, state and local.

They were enthusiastic over the response to the appeal for funds with which to provide deco- rations, lights and advertising. Jack Ore en and Frank Weisenfeld, the co - chairmen, predicted Freeport would experience the most success- ful Christmas season in history. At the first meeting a week at*o. a goal of $7,500 was set for the fund. Mr. Gret-n said not only were merchants responding nui'jh more promptly than in previous years, but that professional men — dot-tors, dentists and lawyers—also had sent in checks. Consequent ly- ric said he cxpccUd the goal would be reached without dirnmlty. Mr. Green was not ready to an- nounce the names of all the mem- bers of his committees, saying tlu- tentative lists were being revised. Mr. Weis'enf, Id has requested till merchants (having flags from pre- vious occasions to notify him. He can be reached at Freeport 8-9898.

Christ tells us that he who lives for himself loses his life, but he who loses his life, gives life—if not he becomes a slave,' to self. A nation cannot be built, neither can it be sustained, on self-seeking, self-expression, or self-assertion. II sin is selfishness, and it is, then we Americans are not free. We arc slaves to sin, and the wages of sin is death.\ Keniu th E. Vought. first vice- commander of the post, presided.
