Rockaways to the Hamptons along the fringe of\outer beaches and sand dunes that hold the At- lantic Ocean from the mainland on the South Shore of the island is farther from realization today than at any time since the plan was first proposed. Chairman Robert L. Moses of the Long Island State Park Commis- sion announced Saturday that 'the commission has definitely aban- doned its plans for extending Ocean\ Boulevard over Fire Island Inlet And. east along Fire Island Beach. Mr. Mages' report on the meet- ing of beagh property owners held at Babylon last week indicates that three large property owners halted the project. This answers the arguments advanced against the proposition on grounds that the greater part of persons who have. developed property in the summer colonies on Fire Island were opposed to the boulevard. The Review pointed out recently that construction of Ocean Boulé- vard might be expected to detract from the wild, desolate beauty of Fire Island Beach, but that it is a question whether the place should be saved untouched for the' few to whom it is available or made avail- able for' thousands in slightly less! natural Mi some ar Refusal of property owners com- manding more than two miles of ocean frontage bn the beach to deed a right-of-way through their prop- erty maturally makes the project next to impossible, as the cost of condemnation: would 'raise the to- tal cost so high it would be dif- ficult to get. an appropriation through the Legislature for suffi- cient funds to complete the boule- vard. R \ Failure of the property owners to aid the project means a mone) tary loss to: them, because . the boulevard would make the beach mvailable by automobile and plots or tracts for summer homes would @x be in greater demand than they ever will be while the beach is so difficult to reach. Abandomhent of the project de- prives Long Island of the imme- diate chance of acquiring the most unique. road | in- the world. It is not likely that the project is in- definitely dead, but it may be years before it is revived again. Mean- while knowledge that Ocean Boule- vard is not to be built will dampen other beach developments and the construction of roads like the one [built last year to Point Lookout, which were to have been links in the long oceanfront highway, - ICELAND'S 1,000TH ANNIVERSARY thing, the oldest Parliament or Congress in the World, in Reyk- Javik this month gives the Western Hemisphere an indisputable claim for leadership in modern demoeta= tic forms of government. While Iceland can hardly be maid to be a part of America, it is in the Western Hemisphere by virtue of being historically a part of the new lands to the west of the European continent that were among the last to be discovered by civilized man. Actually Iceland is nearer Northern Europe than any habitable part of the United States j of Canada.

Pizarro led the conquest of Peru in 1631. During the Sixteenth Century, up to 1600, virtually every South and Central American coun- try was colonized by the white race. Long before there was a self-sus- taining colony in. North America there were productive plantations in the West Indies, In fact, the Western part of the United States boasts the oldest permanent settlement. Sante Fe, New Mexico, was established by the Spaniards in 1606, the year be- fore Capt. John Smith reached Vir- ginia. It is remarkable how much the average well-read citizen of this country knows about European and ancient history and how little he knows about American history, ex- cept that which deals exclusively with-Colonial and later history of the United States. There is a full century of Amer- ican history which a large part of the people are not aware exists. With the increasing commerce and goodwill between the Americas, it appears imperative that this phase of American history be added to the curriculum of the public schools or substituted for something that might more appropriately be omit- THE NEW HAVEN TRAGEDY The tragie death of an entire family in New Haven, Conn, at the hands of a maniac father, who finally leaped from the cliff over which ho had thrown his wife and four children, is no doubt the direct result of a bit of very poor judg- ment on the part of the-wife and mother.

In fact, to lay hands on a bear at any time is a very) foolhardy act. \A bear assumes that all discard- ed food about a tourist camp is his. He never sees the tourists pawing among the refuse at the pits-so man is not a rival for his food supply. If all campers visiting Yellowstone would throw their discarded food into the refuse pits, or, if they must give a bear an individual feed, then serve it on a plate on the ground, an entire season would pass over without a sin- gle bear accident.But- despite all warnings, people persist in. feeding the bears from their bands...
