Nassau County Review. VOL. XII FREEPORT. N. Y., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14. 1906 NO. 8 Don’t Lei Advertising Scatter Don't let your advertisem e n ts scat ter. In other words, don’t talk about too many things at once. One idea at a tim e is about all the average person can soak up. I t ’s better to impress a single idea about your store and make that one idea sink in than it is to try to cover a dozen subjects.

Following the business meeting. C h r i s t m a s G iving A t this season of the year the one great thought that throbs in the heart of every unselfish person is what can I give my friends to increase their hap piness? It is only a crabbed, sordid soul at this crowning summit of the year who asks what am I going to re ceive. Children expect to receive and are happy in the thought, but rightly balanced adults find their chief pleasure in giving. This does not include that class of chronic misers who by long years of cultivated stinginess have strangled every generous impulse, and who suffer so a t the idea of giving up anything that it is necessary to adm inister co caine to get them in a donative state but it. means and refers to the over whelming majority of our people. Once in a while there is a poor wretch so stingy that he is constantly in pain. The mere suggestion that he give up the value of a peanut throws him into a cramp colic. To save expense he may raise his family on wild goose ber ries and hazel nuts until his children develop into physical, mental and moral dwarfs, but fortunately such instances in this broad and generous nation are tolerably rare. -M A N D Y PER K IN S ” By Jno.

Serm o n on “ T o b a c c o ” The sermon of the Rev. Dr. Ketch- am in the Presbyterian Church last Sunday evening on the subject “ To bacco” was from the text ^ Cor., 9 ;27; “ I keep under my body” and was heard by a large congregation. Instead of any violent diatribe against all smokers, the preacher advised all young men and boys that the abstainer —the non-smoker had a vast life ad vantage in that he was s u r e : 1. Never to be a slave of tobacco, which is a not very remote possibility, to every smoker. II. Never to be physically, mentally and morally injured by it. III. Never to be an offence and a nuisance from it. IV. Sure to be preferred in business and society. V. Sure not to wrong some-one else in its use wife or children for exam ple. VI. The non-smoker has vast advan tage as to influence over others sure to be seriously injured if they acquire the habit. VII. All think about it. It is: I. Easy to keep out. 2, Hard to get out. All Keep out.

The recommendations caused con siderable argument, wherein it was stated that from time to time, and at almost every meeting of the Board of Trade recommendations were introduc ed, but that they died a natural death, so that nothing was accomplished. Freeport is and has been growing at a great rate, and the time was ripe when the interest of every individual tax payer must be considered. Action must be taken that will prove the most beneficial to the m ajority of the tax payers, and the Board of Trade was the proper medium whereby any or every resident of Freeport could appear and make known their ideas of what was proper and right for the interest of the village at large, and for the pur pose of meeting this issue a substi tute motion was made whereby the President was authorized to appoint a special committee of five to investi gate every recommendation presented, select what to their idea was con ducive to the most good, and to p resent the same to the Board of Trade a t their meeting iiV January for its consider ation and adoption, after which they are to be presented to the Board of Village Trustees to he recommended by them in their annual report and in the making up of their annual budget, after which the members of the Board of Trade can be in a position to bring what pressure it can upon the voters of the village for their support at the next village election. President Foster appointed the following committee : J. B. Cartw right, Julius Detmer, Thomas Burleigh, Henry L. Orandell and Mr. Fredericks. A fter further routine business was concluded, the Executive Committee submitted the following resolution as the special order of business for the evening; Resolved, That it is the sense of this Board that a regular police force of five men be established for the pro tection of the village, and that the Board of Village Trustees be requested to insert in the next budget an amount sufficient to cover the necessary ex penses. Resolved, That a comittee of fifteen be appointed by the Chair to attend the next meeting of the Village Board of Trustees and present this resolution. When first presented the resolution called only for a force of four men, but upon a recommendation, the num ber was changed to five men so as to allow- for a force of four patrolmen, with one chief, who would be at all tim es at the police headquartes where the services of a policeman could be secured at all hours. Ex-Village President, Julius Detmer, stated that last year the idea of secur 905. Grade rhetorical severe held last F r i day. Grover Siems of ^W antagh entered school last Monday.

D-j ing a . force of three patrolmen was fully considered and was deemed ad visable, but owing to the extremely large budget called for, over $12,000, the largest in the history of Freeport, it w a s not deemed advisable at that time, but that he thought that the vil lage had increased so wonderfully dur ing the past year that it would be advisable to subm it/the proposition to the tax-payers fob their consideration at the next annual election. It was further stated that the adoption by this board of various re commendations and the submission of propositions to the voters in itself did not complete the work of the Board of Trade, but that after the Village Board of Trustees had favorably ac- ceeded to the request of the Board, it was the duty of the members thereof to use their utmost efforts in securing ihe passage of the propositions sub mitted.

E. Chapel last Thursday evening. Miss Elsie Papp read parts of the story which were illustrated by tableaux and which made this touching story seem very real.

The M. L. S. paid a visit to Mr. ai d Mrs. Bishop last Saturday evening, and the affair was unique in the way of surprise parties because every per son interested in it was surprise!

A very m erry evening was spent, and the members left behind them as u me mento of the occasion a handsome ta bouret decorated in pyrography. The members of the M. L. S. are p re the Christmas box which is to be sent to a friend of the members who comes in contact with the very poor of the city. This worker knows of people who could obtain positions if they had proper clothing. Persons who have discarded clothing to dispose of may be sure that it will reach worthy persons if sent to any member of the Society. Toys, pictures and such things will also be acceptable. It scarcely seemed fair ty elect-- a Board of Village Trustees with a ViL lage President, and expect them t»y devote considerable of their tim e in the w elfare of the village w ithout com pensation, and then tie their hands by refusing to vote a sufficiently large ap propriation for the m aintainance of the village interests. The members of the Board of Trustees are men of active Jbusiness life, who although well fam iliar with the requirements of their individual business, are unac quainted with electricity or steam ; the running of a w a ter or e lectric light plant; building up of streets and thoroughfares, and the construction of bridges, and it was not fair to expect M E R R I C K An entertainm e n t, such as Merrick Hook and Laadder Company is noted for, will be held in the fire house on News Years night.
