The next meeting will be held next Tuesday at 8 p, m. at Mazanek' s , to- which ail building tradesmen aire invited, A SIGNIFICANT TREND One of- th e most significant trends of the present day is the manner in which the women of this country, as reflected through the activities of the various women ' s organizations are concentrating their efforts and abili- ties on the solution of serious social and community problems. Programs of women ' s groups are - attaining sharper objectivity, reflecting a de- sire to get right down to business , to an even greater extent than has been apparent in the past. \ , The Board of Directors , and 500 state committee chairmen of the Na- tional ' Federation of Business and Professional Women ' s Clubs , Inc., have subscribed to the conviction \that women must participate more vitally, more i ntelligently in the everyday mechanisms of government if the people ' s rights • to 'life , liberty and the pursuit of happiness ' are to prevail—if they are . to ' weather the storms coming towards us from /with - in as well as without ' our country. \ What many person s , and perhaps men particularly do- not appreciate is that the host of time and labor sav- ing devices , and better household products , the yield from American industry? working under the private enterprise system , permitsi the Amer- ican woman to accomplish . her house- hold duties- better and much faster than was possible even a few years ago. The result . is that tbe women of this country have an increasing amount of time available to accomp- lish those civic and social tasks that naturally fall within the scope of their special abilities, \Women ' s place is in the home \ migh t today well be altered to read : \Women ' s place is to be of the utmost helpful- ness in her sphere of life, \ Large Parade , Prizes Mark Firemen ' s Event At Holtsville Fair SPECIAL FRI.

VILLAGE OF PATCHOGUE Deaths— July 29—Mrs. Catherine Still ;- 67 , 114 Jennings avenue, CO-OPERATION FOR RELIEF The food stamp plan , under which certain basic surplus commodities hold by the government are distributed to persons on relief , has apparently pass- ed the experimental period, I ' t has been rapidly extended, and is now in effect in most arena of the- country; According to authorities , it has proved to be one of the cheapest possible ways of affording government as- sistance to the indigent ' . The plan seems to be working out as an example of the kind of . co-oper- ation private industry offers the gov- ernment when a worthwhile and nec- essary project is involved. The surp lus foods have been en- tirely distri buted by private retailers. The taxpayers have not been forced to spend large sums of money to establish government owned and op- erated distribution centers. Both the chains and the independents , have used their established, proven facil- ities. They have worked with gov- ernment in formulating and enforc- ing stringent rules designed to. -pre- vent the reliefers from exchanging their stamps for cash or alcoholic beverages , or otherwise abusing the p lan. Th ere is a vast difference between government competition with . busi- ness— and . go vernment co-operation witb business. . The food , stamp plan illustrates that difference . It unques- tionably - has proven , itself to be the most efficient and'least costly way of distributing - surpluses , without - dis- turbing normal trade and production processes: ¦ . ' . 'Working . for government and liv- ing off government has become the great American profession and is continually being promoted , devel- oped , and expanded. \ —- .W. Arthur Simpson , director of Old Age As- sistance , Vermont. While no cases of rabies have been reported in this vicinity, the disease has been noted in alarming numbers in some part' s df the ' country this summer. This makes care in handling dogs more necessary than usual , as nobody can tell when infection may reach here. Several local instances of dogs bit- ing persons have been reported with- in the past two or : three weeks. The old cautions must be repeatedly em- phasized : Avoid handling , strange dogs , or handling even known dogs in a sudden manner which might cause them to bite in surprise or annoyance. If a bite occurs , or if a dog is seen acting as if mad , try to impound it alive , for scientific ob- servation, Otherwise , kill it , and keep tho carcass , or the \head , for an expert' s examination. Aud got a physician ' s \ aid at once if bitten. BEWARE OF THE DOG 11 mf iff M 4^** • MM • Mm. %w M M M L !%\ J5> IPill • ¦ ¦ ¦ km
