F. W Hall. North Columbus ave., Friday night, instructed its secretary, A B. Mullet*, to write President Harry S. Truman the association was in favor of a reduction in Federal taxes and a retrenchment in gov- ernment spending.' This action was taken on recom- mendation of the Board of Gover- nors. Copies of the letter are to be sent to Congressman Harold Knudson. chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, and Representative Leonard W. Hall. The association, also on recom- mendation of the board, instructed Secretary Muller to write the Vil- r lage Board urging that the Village Counsel be assigned to represent the community at the Long Island Rail Road fare hearings and also hearings on the application of the Nassau & Suffolk Lighting Co. for an increase in gas rates. An appeal also was made to the Village Board to see that the foot- . ball practice field south of the Stadium and the Stadium itself be made safe for the protection or the t.•,•/;; .txtgh school students 'using them tor practice. Complaint was made of\ ffi'e stones In the top soil laid on the practice field and of the lack of grass on the football field. The association went on record as being opposed to the proposal to plant shrubbery in the mall in the center of Sunrise Highway. Members contended shrubbery would create a hazard to the safety of persons crossing the highway and an expense to''the Village which would have to maintain the malls after planting was done by the state. Charles Blewett reported on the recent hearing by the Public Serv- ice.. Commission. o:v. the .application- of the Long Island Rail Road for an additional fare increase. William H.

And to illustrate the extent to which her mother can led out this principle, she told of how she once signed up to be a waitress a* a summer hotel for three months without first obtainins her mother's consent. She discovered her error on reporting to the place but received no sympathy from her family and had to fulfill\ her contract. Miss Hale called for greater dis- cipline for young people, more em- phasis on oral reading, spelling and arithmetic to develop leader- ship and personality and more gumption, as against the superfic- ialities and trivialities of the pres- ent.

This gives the Freeport Police Department four lieutenants, the. most it has had in several years. The promotions were made from an eligible list promulgated from a . recent examination in which Wulff was high with a mark of 88.347. Sergt. Herbert Pearsall also made the list. Municipal Building Open Friday Nights Mayor Cyril C. Ryan announced this week the Village Board had voted to continue to keep the of- fices in the Municipal Building closed all day Saturdays.

VILLAGE BOARD FIXES TWO DECEMBER MEETINGS As the second November meeting of the ^Village Board ordinarily would fall on Thanksgiving Day, the trustees at their meeting omTF the met ting and meet instead on Thursday December 4 and 18. Christmas Day also would be a regular meeting date. f Postmaster Edward A. Rice Issues Appeal for Early Vide Mailing Postmaster Edward A. Rice today requested local residents to plan their Christinas shopping schedules now to permit early mailing of Christmas cards and gift packages, thus avoiding last-minute crowds at post-office windows. To assure delivery before Christ- mas day, the postmaster advised that out-of-State mailings should be made before Dec. 10. Christmas greeting cards for local delivery should be mailed by Dec. 15, he said. \On Christmas Eve. it is a great satisfaction to be certain that your Christmas cards and packages have been delivered because they were mailed early,\ he asserted. \When you postpone mailing to the last minute, you risk disappointing your friends by having your messages and gifts caught irr the rush and perhaps pot delivered until after Christmas.\ He advised combining early mall- Ing with use of \Do Not Open -Be- fore Christmas\ notes or stickers on packages and envelopes. The postmaster said he antici- pates even heavier :mail loads this Christmas than during the record- breaking 1946 holiday searon H* added that local post-offices across the nation already were preparing for this- peak load by recruiting extra mail clerks and carriers, col- lecting and overhauling delivery trucks, and oiling up the stamp- cancellation machines. The local post-office \has already done a large part of Its own Christ- mas shopping by. laying in supplies of many thousands of dollars worth of stamps,\ Mr. Rice announced.. Parcel post packages cannot be accepted unless they are stoutly wrapped, he said. \This means heavy cord, sturdy outer paper, and heavy cardboard Inside. Packages must not exceed 70 pounds In weight, and are limited in size to 100 inches in length and girth combined. , J Christmas ca^ds can be handled more readily If they are tied in bundles, with all the envelopes facing the same way and the stamps in the same corner.- Pro- gressive mailings over a period of several days evens out the work at the post-officer he added. $700 Is Raised In Football Benefit For Gerald Kelly Fund Deposited in Bank far His Use; Donors Thanked Seven hundred dollars was realised for the benefit of Gerald Kelly, the injured football player from the proceeds of the benefit football game played in the Sta- dium Sunday afternoon and con- tributiojis received by boys and girls who sponsored the event.

Address * j Board Provides A New Area for Manufacturing / Takes in Property Between Highway And E. Merrick Rd. To encourage the development of an industrial area between East Sunrise highway and East Merrick rd.. the Village Board at its meet- ing Thursday night voted to change the zoning of several square blocks , from- apartment to manufacturing. The section starts in the center of Preeport Brook. 125 feet south of Sunrise highway and parallel- ing the highway extends cast across Benson pi., and Columbus ave.. to 125 feet west of Helen ave., then south parallel with Helen ave., across Alexander ave., to the pres- ent manufacturing district north of Merrick rd., then west to Preeport Brook and north along a line in the center of the brook to the starting point. A hearing on the proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordin- ance was held at a meeting on Aug. 28, when no opposition to the change was voiced. The amend- ment will take affect as soon as the proper notice has been pub- lished in the official paper. Mayor Cyril C. Ryan and the other members of the Village ^oard this week declared ,as-\unquaUfiedly false,\ a report being circulated s that^piroperty in the, vicinity- ot : Ax^eV-aMd~iie<ieU' toM^l^'txi^taeK'^ rezoned to permit the erection of apartment houses. \The attitude of the -Board on this point,\ the stau ment con- tinues, \Is a matter of record easily to be learned by anyone interested in the truth. Several months ago when the matter of r< zoning that section was raised, the Board unanimously rejected the' proposal to permit apartment house build- ing. The Board believes now, as it believed then, that the integrity of that section as a place solely for private homes should be main- Tain ed7Its vote on the subject is recorded in the minutes of the Board. \The families of that ntighbor- hood, as well as families of every section of Preeport, are entitled to full protection of the zoning laws. They are entitled to protection against the anxieties caused by the spread of false rumors. This state- men t is issued for the purposc of assuring such protection.\ .V_T»V>--. •\ ' . . .','\ '- : :;^i$§fe>] OV^-VriVi^i
