gUFFOLK FIGHTS PRISON PROPOSAL Opposed To Idea Advanced For Utilization Of Camp Upton Near Yaphank Buffolk county directors of the Long Island chamber of commerce have taken a decisive stand in opposition to the to use Camp Upton, near Yay! as a state prison site, When the mt sent out an- nouncement from Washington of in- tention to abandon its wartime camp site in county it was proposed to use the several thousand meres at Camp Upton for state prison purposes. Buffolk county difectors of the cham- ber, led by President Walter R. Petit of Huntington, took immediate steps to sound public sentiment and found it strongly opposed not only to the establishment of a n in Suffolk but as well to any r encroach- ment upon the county by atate insti- tutions. Decision Not Reached To sscertain the exact status of the federal government in: regard to the Camp Upton property, ll: Pettit telegraphed to Congressman Robert L. Bacon for information, Replying, Representative Bacon wrote: \I can confidently state that for the moment no decision has been made by the war department as to what they wish to do with mp Upton, and no negotiations at present mre under way with anybody. Before any decision will be made by the war department the matter will be discussed with every other department of the federal government as to whether or not this land can be of use after a complete survey has been made of its value, not only to the war department but to every other federal body. . I do-not an- ticipate that any decision will be made for several months, if then. In the fheantime, the war depart- ment will keep me informed of any steps t_at may be taken,\ The Long Island chamber has re- ceived\ strong protests against any action which would result in a state ison being established at Camp pton or anywhere else on Long Island. The Long Island chamber is pre- Ftred to not only oppose the estab- ishment of a prison, but to construc- tively bring about such use of the Camp Upton property as will preserve the attractiveness of Buffolk county. It has been suggested that this entire tract be acquired by the state for re- forestation under the Hewitt act and In this way make it sultable for a game refuge and future use as ether a state or county park.

It's the auto that Charlie craves and that's how he is going to return to the scene of his childhood days. About the middle of next month, the 78-year-old hero of real wild west romance, veteran of Bufalo Bill's original wild west show and, inci- dentally, of the recent world war, will step into an automobile and start a long journey to Rosedale, Cal. To Hit Trail For West For four years now, \Uncle Charlie\ bas been living a quiet, peaceful life at Oakdale, Suffolk. He has been building little cabins on the old Vanderbilt estate-that part of it marked by a couple of Totem poles just off Merrick road. But he's has about enough of the east. He wants to be on the other side of the Rockies. Way back in the '60's, when he was only 8 years old, \Broncho Charlie\ was riding the Pony Express, He was doing that when the telegraph keyed the deathknell of the express.

He broke horses until Colonel William F.

You can't tell it by looking at the teeth.\ (His uppers were missing the other day.) \Broncho Charlie\ admits he told a le, but said it was a 'white one\ and hoped it wouldn't be held against him when St. Peter greets him at the Golden Gate, A year mgo, the ploneer of the golden west took his first plane flight -and liked it. | |RONOR LIST GIVEN FOR HIGH SCHOOL Awards For Work At Mifeola Made Public By Superinten- dent Ralph L.
