After objecting to the odor caused by sheep, he also attacked the noise of their bleating. Mr. Vought explained to the dignant neighbor that the village ordlpances n&ther allow nor pro hibit sheep. He asked whether any complaint had been made to the Nassau County Health Department. Mr. Howard replied that inspections by health officers had brought no action whatever.

All such groups are supervised a'nd (derated by vgiunteers with as sistance from groups such as the Nassau County Council. The work o f the volunteer leaden is guided, and coordinated by the Nassau' County Council, Boy Scohts of America, through trained field executives.

Police halted their curs in front of M i . Howard's house so they could listen to see If noise from the sheep WHS audible there. Similarly, they parked for a .short time on South- side avenue to check up on whether the bleating could be heard there. Chief Elar owns about .seven acres at the site, of which two are enclosed with cyclone fence. The section where sheep keep the grass down is occupied also by (owl, but the police chief refrained .from bringing goats to his property when he moved there from his former home on Ea.st Merrick r^ d where the National Biscuit Com pany distributing station now stfuid.s. He realized that the .siiicJl, of the goats might be annoying -lo occupanLs of neighboring hou-sc.s. inaiiy of whom are his close jela- Policemen assigned to the ciieck- up found no objectionable noise from the sheep. Th'e reports of their Ir.vestigntion were turned over to 'Village Cleik Van Riper. Chief Elar revealed this week he originally had nine sheep on his property, but has sl-nce reduced the number to seven. Including three lambs. He said they are not Ids animals —m e r e 1 y ‘•borrowed\ to keep the grass from growing high. QUEENS WOMAN NAMED The appointment of Edith L.

Mr, Quayle and Mr. Visel are Dis trict Captains for the United Fund 1956-57 Campaign. There Is much room for expan sion of Scouting In Fi’eeport. Too many boys ar< unable to Join Cub Packs because of lack of manpower. There is much that can be provided for the older boys as well at both of- the Council camps.
