Commercial Travelers On Annual Outing Long Island Council No. 550, Com mercial Travelers of America, had its second annual outing last Saturday to Point Lookout Beach and the oc casion was delightful in every way. About 126 members an^. their fam ilies embarked on two boats, which started from Southard’s dock, Free- iport, loaded with good things to eat and temperance drinks, including grapeade for the “kiddies.\ Special songs slips had been provided, and led by a number who possessed strong voices, the happy party joined enthus iastically in some good old-time melo dies, including several that were pa triotic and others up-to-date. Louis Blank of Mineola, Ernest DeGuiscard of Mineola, Harry Leich of Merrick, and the inimitable “Teddy\ Spiegel acquitted themselves in an able man- At Point Lookout the merry-mak ers enjoyed bathing and other pas times. A fine spread, featured with juicy steak, hot corn and ice cream amply satisfied everypone’s appetite. The “kiddies\ had bars of sweet-choc olate and grapeade in abundance. The party returned home during the evening, tired but happy over the pleasures of the occasion. Much cred it is due to Charles W. Knapp, chair man of the excursion committee^ for the success of the outing, and also to Senior Councilor Walter M. Nichols. Long Island Council is the cham pion Travelers’ organization of New York State, having recently won the membership contest under the coun- cilorshrp of Albin 18.

Give tbe Invalids a Ride (From Hempstead Inquirer) Persons owning automobiles with spare room are urged by people who have done it, to stop at the base hos pital at the Mineola Fair Grounds and give convalescent soldiers a pleasure ride. Among the 500 patients at the base hospital arc many who have not seen their folks iq months. One autoist stopped there yesterday and gave two soldiers a ride. One was from Florida and the oti^er from. Cali fornia. They have been patients at various hospitals for several months and have not seen their folks in near ly a year. The officers at the hospital grounds will willingly give consent to autoistn who properly identify themselves, to take convalescent soldiers for a ride. Some of the convalescents, of course, are too weak and an automobile ride in their cases would be more injurious than beneficial. Others are able to ride, however, and permission Is al ways accorded them to go on the tripe, provided they are not too long away.' Food Administration Note* Purchases of Candy Shuold Be Limit ed to One Pound at a Time .The Food Administration has ex pressed its approval of a recent reso lution adopted by the Association of the Manufacturers of Confectionery and Chocolate of the State of New ’York. The Association has resolved t6 urge the consuming public to limit its purchases of candies and choco lates to one pound at any one time, and to limit its aggregate purchases to one-half its usual consumption. The Food Administration suggests that this resolution be adopted by the con fectionery manufacturers in every State. Bakers' Reports The U. S. F. A. has outlined a new policy for bakers’ monthly reports made to Washington. Only those who use 150 barrels or more of wheat flour and substitutes per month will be required to make reports to Wash ington. These number alfout 3,000, and the reports will be required on a five-weekly basis, and will be in the nature of a summary of the weekly reports. The reports will be made in duplicate only, the origjiwl going to Washington, and the duplicate being held by the baker, as the State Ad- minjatrators hold the weekly reports. Before the war, only about 10 per dent, of the food deficit in the Allied countries was provided by America.
