A similar rally for the par- ishes in Eastern Suffolk was held ih Riverhead. The marchers , including delega- tions from Patchogue , Blue Point; Bellport , Hagerman , Center Moriches , Medford , Sayville and Ronkonkoma , were led by Austin Mueller of Bay Shore, \ as .grand marshal. - The Rt, Rev. Monsignor James J. Cronin , pas- , tor of St. Francis de Sales church in Patchogue , who is dean of Suf- folk' s Catholic clergy, was honorary grand rnarsfial. The outdoor exercises , which were opened with the singing of the Na- tional Anthem , to the accompani- ment of the Huntington Manor Fire- men ' s band , and the massing of the colors , included an address of wel- come by the Rev. Joseph A. Schreih- er , pastor of St. Hugh' s church , a sermon by the Rev. William \E. Ca- pron , chaplain at Camp Upton , who spoke on the significance of the Holy Name ; the renewa l of the Holy Name pledge; greetings by Huntington Su- pervisor Arthur J.

Joseph Orioles , 'Elliot Rogers and John Sey- fort. Congressmen are still waiting for demands for economy from , back home. Many of tliem don 't want to vote three and a half bullion -dollars in new taxes and also vote millions for non-defense items which could be cut. But so far , their constituents are mostly silent , althoug-h they probably won 't be when next year ' s ta_< bills come due. Meanwhile , members of Congress are appealing through Speaker Rey- burn to the President to take the lead in reducing nondefense expenditures. WANT TO BE SOAKED? Pet Parade Makes Hit With Crowd Though Ending in a Thunder Shower Tri e Patchogue Youth Week Pet parade Saturday afternoon: under the auspices of the Ro- tary club was , like its predeces- sors of other years , a colorful- joyf ul , funny and musical turn- out. It amused a big crowd of onlookers as well as those taking part , with the exception of some animal pets who seemed to disapprove being shown off , and the Weather man gave it a ' wet finish. - The procession , starting down East Main street , under a bright thou gh partly clouded sky, got pretty well past the central corner and upward on North Ocean avenue before the rain became heavy enough to matter much , and a few youngsters then dodged for shelter. As the last part was coming through West Main street eastward after circuiting the Lake street block there was a real down- pour , with a crack or two of lightning. The Patchogue High school band , final unit , stuck it out and even went on playing on its second passage through the business center , and oth- er bands ahead continued for some distance down South Ocean avenue. A police escort , members of the Village board and the recently elected Patchogue High school \ village offic- ials \ , were up front in the parade . Music was furnished by the Bellport , Setauket ,, Center Moriches , Port Jef- ferson , Blue Point and Patchogue school 'bands , all in gay uniforms . Pets in carts , pets in stretchers , pets in cages , pets in fishbowls , pets afoot and pets carried in their own- ers ' arms , included an entertaining: variety of househol d and barnyard creatures , fishes , turtles and birds . The fciggest fish was \The One Daddy Looses , \ , a realistic cardboard affair. Costumes indicated cowboys , sail- ors , soldiers , nurses , pirates , gypsies and many other picturesque persons. Decorated hand-drawn vehicles and bicyeles were numerous- It was really a fine show. Prizes were awarded afterward in the Patchogue Hi gh school gymnasium. . . .. A total , of . 135 prizes , plus 7-50 bags of candies and six -gross of American flafsy ' : - v ' -were distributed among the marchers , the prize winners among them included the following: Richard Kelley, Edward McCarvey, Robert Sawyers , Evelyn Embro , Rob - ert Arthur , Charles Post , Genius Zitani , Philip Fontanetta , Era Zir- rotti- .

WHY; WASTE IT? One of the most direct routes be- tween the North and South shores of Brookhaven town -goes up Patch- ogue ' s Waverl y avenue through Holts- ville , as far as the Horse Block road , then follows that northward ' to Se- tauket , crossing the Middle Country roa d between Centereach and Selden. As far as Holtsville , the road is in fair condition , but beyond that the bumps and holes in the asphalt are more frequent than the smooth stretches. And the section north of the Middle Country road was opened up wide a few years ago but was never surfaced and has been allowed to go down completely. A sandy, pockmarked pair of ruts Tun for nine miles through the scrub oak and stunted pine. A princip al point in th e usefulness of this extension of Horse Block road north of Middle Country road is that it would enable local traffic to keep ' off the main highways for several miles in rush period s instead of being forced into the congestion , especially along Middle Country road. The road runs straight in most places and could easily be a through route , if it had decent surfacing. It is cleared to a width of 35 feet all the way, and there are no railroad cross- ings or dangerous intersections. All it needs is to be leveled slightly, with a road scraper , and to have a top dressing of the asphalt type. Even oil would do the trick on the sand that is already there. Why not ? LOVE VERSUS LETHARG\ . \In the spring a young man ' s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. \ So says the old poem , commonly re- vised by some wisecrack about the gals having similar ideas. But for children and for old folks , alas , there -is onl y spring fever. Sul- phur and molasses , used to be the standard remedy, but that has heen debunked , and there seems to be little hope now ru materia medica. What is spring fever ? . •• ' ' We give you the answer , through Dr. Verlus Lindemwn , physiologist , of Syracuse universi ty, who \is one of those supplying replies regularly in the \Ask the Scientist\ feature for the New York Press association, \Spring fever , \ he says , \is not a disease but a physiological condition, It is probably moro mental than phys- ical. Spring fever is a lethargy which creeps upon a person in apring, The patient generally gets well without treatment. The recovery is probably the result of certain physiological re- adjustments such as temperature con- trol , circulation , respiration , and hor- mones. \ Firemen ' s Asso . To Ask Training Unit for County The establishing of a volunteer fire- men ' s training school , under a new law giving county board s of super- visors the right to appropriate funds for that purpose , will be proposed before the Board of Supervisors in Riverh ead in the near future by a delegation from the Suffolk Volunteer Firemen ' s association. Frank Hubbard of the Bay Shore Fire department was designated chair- man of the delegation that is to pre- sent the plan before the supervisors , as the result of action taken , by¦ ;t'he association at a recent meeting in Riverhead- which was attended by 90 delegates representing neaily ev- ery fire-fighting unit in the county. The association ' s proposal would call for the appointment of a voca- tional school board of ten members to supervise the training cotirses which would he given by a competent sal- , aried instructor and an assistant. Under the p lan , the instructor and assistant would mainl y travel through- out the county and visit the various departments to give the courses. At its Riverhead meeting, the as- sociation also went on record request- ing representation for the volunteer firemen of the county on the Suffolk Civil Defense council. Spring feeds used to- .put a horse in working condition are any of the common farm grains and good hay.
