V~ m Ivw iWhy They Are Reading The Leader , The Leader's newsstand sales last week were highest ever — reached, V Since the first of the year The Leader's paid-in-advance mail circulation soared to an all-time high\ and is still climbing, ^he^ Leader hopes soon to become an A.B.C. (Audit Bureau of Circulations} newspaper, at which time \t will be able to give its advertisers~a comprehensive, accurate and honest breakdown of its' circulation in the village and adjoining villages, where its sales also are~mounting. \ : ' The Leader's\gain in popularity is not hard to explain. It 'is the only-paper that is giving exhaustive news coverage of this imprtant market and community. The Jamaica boys who took over the Nassau Daily Review - Star are putting out a third class newspaper. Its insipid editor- ials* and warmed over wire news that most oJLus read in the ^P^ipffjJttftwspapers with p^ur cqffee_ at breakfast are a total loss-7-just so much wasted space. The Review-Star's local cov- erage\^ sp thin it is entirely unsatisfactory to those of Freeport's 28,00p residents who wish to keep abreast of affairs in the village. Newsday may have some interest as a shopping guide to residents who never shop in Freeport, but it is a poor excuse for a County newspaper and makes no attempt whatever to provide \ comprehensive local news coverage. Week after week The Leader is publishing more Freeport news in its Thursday issue than Nassau's two dailies publish in their 12 issues combined, with four or five times as many pictures of local events. Freeport is our town. Whatever transpires here is of'interest to The Leader. This is not true of any other news- , paper. :;;-.:-, You will be hearing more about The Leader 1 ,„• :;-:'>-h\v .'• •:• .. ' ~ / . - •• .. ^,-- • . ..v^#i«£, ?Fre?d H. Maidmenf ^ •\. .

Atoout seven years ago, JOE BOMEEKA, then twenty-seven years of age, joined tine mBEPORT POLHOE DEPARTMENT . . . Three years later, realizing that the youngsters had nothing -to attract them in the way of, away from school, recreational facilities and programs, he, on June 6, 1948, with, the aid of newspapers and radio, gradually induced some of s the younger blood In our village to start the FREEPORT POUOE BOYS' CLUB ... By the end of that first year foe had a roster of 300 memlbera . . . Now the membership exceeds 600 ... Prom the very beginning pOtMEEKIA had a friend who championed his cause and who today is jusfc as keen about the furtherance of this organization a* he was tihen .,. .

DOC, along with GENE-WAGOTA-FT 1 , who now resides permanenfUy in Florida, were truly believers in the ROMEEKA'S project . . . Night and day these tftiree worked to iron out the little difficulties always experienced with organi- zation at the beginning'. . . Ut was JOE who approached CAPTAIN GARli TOHSBERG and FftAiNKLYN F. DORMAN, owners and operators of the \WEEING FUEET, a sport fishing enterprise located at Front and Grove streets, in regard to taking the boys out fishing occasionally . . . And it waa OAflPTAJN FORSBEBG and FRANK DOHMAN who gave their whole-toearted support by offering to take a group of 12 to 18 boys fish- Ing once each week, and they've done it ever since . . . The prize for the largest fish caught is a trip for the lad in Tuna fishing . . . Yes, some of them do get sea sick once in a while but who~doesn*t? ... The point is JOE ROMEIKA started out with baseball, Softball, basketball, and for the first year, boxing . . . Now (he oilers these boys 18 different ac- tivities . . . Maybe you don't realize this, but PATROTMAN JOE ROMEIKA and his FREEPOR-T POUCGE JBOYS' CLUB are recognized all over the world . . .

V N THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1952 THE LEADER Romeika and Brown Address Exchangites Tell What Freeport Is Doing to Reduce Juvenile Delinquency Instead of observing prime Pre- vention week as in the past the Freeport Exchange Club put on a program at its weekly luncheon, in •the rciira clubhouse showing' what was done on behalf of boys to re- duce juvenile delinquency. President Walter J. Nichols first introduced Patrolman Joseph Ro- mellca, director of the Freeport Police Boys' Olub. He said there was an enrollment of 652 in the organisation and listed the activi- ties in whloh they are engaged. He flald 11 forms of oporto were en- gaged in during the summer, with boxing, basketball and soccer dur- ing the wlnlter. Director Romeifca told of the de- crease in the number of arrests for Juvenile delinquency in Freeport. In 1950, he said, there were 16 arrests, with only ten last year. Thus far there have been 14 such arrests in Freeport, but only two of the boys aprethended were resi- dents of the community. He added that of 18 boys placed on probation under his direction since the or- ganization of the P.B.C., none had violated his parole. Asked what the people of Pree- port could do to prevent crime, he said they should report the pre- sence of any person acting suspd- ciouriftr in tihe vicinity of their homes immediately to Police Chief Peter E2ar, Walter (Jumbo) Brown explained the operations of the Little League baseball movement which is to be introduced In Preeport this mummer under the sponsorship of four ser- vice organizations for. boys from 8 through 12 years of age.
