' ^ ,'.-'• ' ' !-'• ' ' '/ . .1 feel impelled to, write a word regarding the program for \Beau- tiflcation\ of our fair Village of Freeport.. . \ People make their own slums. Just travel and observe from Ben- nfngton Park to Stearns Park. Folks clean up their property by dumping their leaves, etc., on a vacant Jot across the street or next door. Others just-sweep the dirt out the door and let it land where H may. That such a • condition should exist Is indeed a mark against us, with the Sanitation Department do- ing such an outstanding job of collecting refuse and garbage from the rear of our homes to prevent It being strewn about the streets from overturned cans. Let us not only appeal to the people of Freeport but make-it an offense punishable by fine to litter other people's property. Perhaps tlien we will get co-operation. Respectfully, BBRDELLA PIRNIE.

Bill Glacken is just stepping onto the threshold of public service in his first term as Trustee. He has lived in Freeport practically all his life and offers youth, ambition, and the deepest sincerity to make our village an ideal all-around com- munity. He was born in Brooklyn, September 1, 1912, but two years later his family moved to this vil- lage. Young Bill attended the local schools, was graduated from Free- port High School, and then majored in Business Administration at Ohio University. He has been in the insurance business (Nolan-Glacken Agency) in Freeport for fifteen successful years. * * * The thought of teamwork in operation is not something new in the Olacken family. His brothers, like Bill, have been prominent and connected with clean-cut sports throughout the years. The name \Glacken\ is known to all basketball and baseball fans. • The three brothers. Bill, Joe, and Ed., 'have been members of s&mi-PW teams (Omegas) which have won all types in their field. His two brothers attended Syracuse they won recognition as stars on the court and Glacken is now a successful high school coach, and 'radio engineering at Syracuse. ','••*••• Married to the former Mary ftellly of Freeport, and residing at 225 Southside avenue, William Glacken's philosophy of fife can easily be looked at as that of the typical young American. It lacks nothing He is a father of a healthy two-year-old son, a veteran who went into the service as a private, and four years later was honorably discharged as a Major (n the Air Corps, having seen action throughout the Pacific Theater, and a successful business man. He is a member of the Vet erans of Foreign Wars, American Legion, Freeport Elks, and Knights of Columbus. * + + Trustee William F. Glacken is symbolic of the type of Village Father whose prime aim is to belter the community and yet please as many citizens as possible In carrying out the overall program. It is a stream-lined program, saving as many previous moments as possible, that is unenecessary waste of time, which can be utilized for better purposes. A type ol 1 Trustee who wants to know and listen to the citizens of this promising metropolis. Better Freeport sincerely and witfi an eye to the future needs. * * .* * . As a man, Bill Glacken cannot but be liked and respected. His appearance is distinguished and impressive, and his personality displays youth and ambition. This is our new Trustee, WILLIAM F.
