A., opened their basketball season with a victory against Merrick, Troop I, B. S. A., piling up the score of 43 to 7. Feltenstein playing right forward for Freeport, was the centre of at traction, making 11 field goals and 2 Merrick got the start by a personal foul by Brightson and this netted them .a point. But it did not take long before Freeport had made their first field goal and after many suc cessive shots by Feltenstein and Har ris the half ended in favor of Free port 18 to 3. The second half started and it looked as though Merrick was going to push Freeport hard, but when Free port started a little team work, Mer rick was sadly lost in the dust for ev ery time Freeport secured the ball a goal was secured. Merrick’s only field goal came in the second half. Feltenstein, Brightson and Harris with the most accurate shots procured 25 points for Freeport. The line-up: Freeport—Feltenstein, captain, r. f.; Brightson, 1. f.; Harris, c.; Jones, r. g.; Keegan, 1. g. Merrick—Philips, captain, r. f.; Ames, 1. f.; Crooks, c.; Kober, r. c.I Thamm, 1. g.

By the way, this orchestra is open for engagments for dancing any* week-day night, Sat urdays excepted, of course. “Feeding” Our Guests The chairman 6f the Ladies’ Com mittee is asked why she is soliciting funds and contributions for her work at the Club Rooms, “now that the Gov ernment pays the expense.” The Gov ernment does not pay a cent of the ex pense.

Schluter says a customer came in and »skt him for a “pound of that thirty cent butter.” What do you mean, he was askt, and he replied he wanted some of that butter advertised in the Review. ‘ He had reference to the “Fourteen Years Ago” column, which mentioned that H. C. Schluter was at that time selling best butter for 30c a lb. It’s somewhere around 80c now but nobody advertises it. RED CROSS NOTES This colum n is edited by Rev. W . H .

Memorial Club Plans Card Party The first affair to be given in the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Club on South Grove and Carman Streets, will take place Tuesday afternoon, January 28, when the Soldiers Wel fare Association will open the house with a card party and cake sale. Tick ets are 50 cents and may be had of the card committee: Mesdames M. J. Zulzer, H. E. VanRiper, L. Markheim, William Weyant, J. Dorman, Wheeler, D. Antz, Otto Graser, Green Pickens, David W. Wood and Miss Simms of Freeport and Mrs. Bernard Lawson of Rockville Centre. The Soldiers Welfare Association invites all the boys of Nassau County who have returned from service to send in their names for membership in the Memorial Club. A cake sale will be held in the base ment of the M. E. Church by the Camp Fire Girls, on Saturday, January 25, from 2:00 to 5:00 p. m. Contributions to United War Work Campaign These must now be made in Mineola. I Payments are still coming to the office of the local temporary treasurer, S. F. Pearsall, who was ordered to tur his books over to the County Treas ure* several weeks ago. It does not seem proper that he should take the time and expense of advising each person separately when payments are still made to him, but such payments are simply forwarded to Mineola. Sending them direct would avoid delay. Entered House But Did Not Rob The house of W. P. W.

Following the installation Past Commander Seckers6n pf the G. A. R. delivered an inspiring address. Re freshments and a short musical pro gram were also furnished. Dismissed on Counterfeiting Charge For some unknown reason, because Secret Service men do not take the public in their confidence, Peofites Triantifille of South Main Street, in the bootblack place, was arrested on a charge of passing counterfeit mon ey. He was taken before a U. S. Dis trict Attorney, his frjends having en gaged Counselor Sidney H. Swezey to represent him, and the case speedily dismissed, presumably from all lack of evidence. “Queen Quality” Tan Calf Lace, castor cloth top, Cuban heel, Good year welt sole.

The Post Office has now put through another order: Heretofore when we wanted stamped envelopes or post cards ($40 worth the day this was written) we have made out checks and secured the goods. Now an order has been put into effect whereby only cash will be accepted for goods. The order is all right— we are not complaining a bit, but just think of the inconvenience of having to go to the post office to pay your telephone bill in cash because they will not take your check! Public ownership looks good to us— to keep as far away from as possi ble. \A Bank Officials Re-elected The local banks had their annual stockholders' meeting Tuesday. At the Freeport Bank the present officers were all re-elected, namely: Board of Directors—Wallace H. Cornwell, Smith Cox, William E. Colder, Martin V. W. Hall, William S. Hall, William G.

This is a purely Free port feature. Since we opened up we have furnished coffee, cake and also smokes to over 100,000 soldiers and sailors, Ond it has all been donated by our neighbors. It might also be in order, in con nection with this explanation, that no member of the Executive Committee, and no member of any of the Severn; sub-committees collects any remuner ation for their services—not even the $1 a year we hear so much about.

Everyone should make it a point to read the Senior Resolutions for the New Year which are published for the first time in this issue.

August V. Johnson resigned as sec retary and Supervisor Hiram R. Smith was appointed to succeed him. The propositions were thoroughly and finally gone over and the commit tee resolved to report back to a gen eral meeting of the Committee of Fifty, to be held this Friday evening, recommending as follows: That a monument be erected at a cost of about $20,000, the money to be raised by popular subscription, in honor of our Freeport citizens in service and in memory of those who gave their lives to the cause. That the monument be erected in the small triangle in front of the First National Bank, provided the property could be secured at a nomi nal price. The design recommended is a very pretty one, designed by Tiffanys, and was the unanimous choice of the com mittee after a monument was agreed upon. A committee was appointed to pro vide ways and means for collecting the funds, they also to report at the meeting to be held this evening.

Mrs. Corby went to Saranac several months ago, but did not improve and returned home. About a month ago her husband sold his house on Whaley Street, and their household furniture, and moved to Arizona, in the hope that the dryer air would prove beneficial, but she was barely able to reach there and soon passed away. Mrs. Corby was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles S. Powell, and the granddaughter of Mrs. Martha Powell on the one side and lllr. and Mrs. Platt Conklin on the other, these being her surviving relatives besides her hus band and two children, Helen Adiene, aged 6, and Robert, aged 2. Funeral services will be held from the home of Platt Conklin, 118 West Merrick Road, on Saturday, January 18, at 8:30 o’clock. Mesdames Hewlett Entertain Church Workers (Special to Nassau County Review) Merrick, L. I., Jan. 16.—The ladies of the Improvement Society of the Presbyterian Church were invited by Mrs. George and Mrs. Joseph Hewlett to hold their regular monthly meeting * yesterday (Wednesday) at their home in Merrick. The invitation extended the usual aftemoop gathering, devot ed to Red Cross sewing, to an all day meeting. The ladies arrived at about half past ten. Work began at once and with such vigor that before noon several hundred more socks to darn were sent for from the Red Cross rooms. A most interesting feature of the day for those present was the very de licious luncheon served by the host esses famed far and wide for their most excellent cookery. The luncheon, accompanied by gravid opera selections, spurred the ladies to greater effort and so with cheerful conversation the accompaniment, the lingers flew faster until five hundred socks were looked over and darned, and a dozen or more refugee garments made and folded away. Thanks to the hostesses for th$ ex cellent luncheon and the successful dayi were expressed by a rising vote, and one. lady voiced the thought of each one present when she said she wished we might meet there every Our Dancing Regulations The criticism is made that the reg ulations for the dances at the club house are too strict to suit the sold iers. The answer by the House Com mittee is terse: “If the soldiers don’t want to abide by those rules, they are invited to go somewhere else for their dances.” It is fair to say that in an-1 Friday, Jan. swering this way the committee has Saturday in mind that the soldiers won’t go Sunday somewhere else—the regulations are ] Monday promulgated by the Entertainment Tuesday Committee, but are exactly the same Wednesday as in u«e at the big dance and -enter- Thursday tainment hall in Camp Mills, and in Friday (Continued on Pnge 8) Saturday Weekly Weather Report (For our readers in other localities) Friday, January 10, clear, thermom. 10 to 20.

They have been used as a base hospital since last Summer. Col. A. W. Cutler has informed the Agricultural Society of Queens and Nassau that there are few patients at the hospital and only a few sentries, and that from all pros pects the Government will not need the fair grounds much longer.
