L Advertisem ent MYRTLE WRIGHT PECKETT One of the most pathetic cases of family bereavement through the influ enza came last week when Mrs. Myr tle Wright Peckett of East Merrick Road died of pneumonia after an ill ness of nine days. It in peculiarly sad because this young mother leaves behind her four small children,, one a babe of only seven weeks. Mrs. Peck ett was only 23 years and six months if age. All her life excepting three years after her marriage has been spent in Freeport. Mr. Peckett is well known in the viUCge as one of the employees of the Adams Express Company.

The government building was burned down before the departments arrived, and the other building was gutted by the flames. v The building occupied by the ord nance plant was owned by Mrs. Georgie Alder and was insured. The other was owned by Philip Morris. It was occupied until the day before the explosion by Henry C. Wilke and fam ily, who had moved away but had not ygt taken their furniture. Aside from the Government property the loss will be about $10,000. Charles M. Thoms, the dead man, was a resident of Freeport for several years past. He is survived by his wife and two daughters, Harriet and Gert rude. Announcement of his funeral services appears in another column.

No Oppoeitkm to Present Board of Village Trustees We have not yet heard of any objec tion to the present Board of Village Trustees being re-elected. It is un derstood that President Anderson and Trustes Maxson and Williams, .whose terms expire, will accept the of fices again. They made good, and should be returned. The year, under war conditions has been a difficult one, and the Board has had the task of keeping expenses down and at the many tasks rquiring time and patience same time treating the village employ ees fairly in the matter of wages. The president in particular has had many tasks requiring time and patience and he has made good, clearing up dis reputable places in the village, cut ting down on expenditures and appro priations and giving the taxpayers and citizens an efficient administra tion. The time is coming, in fact it came several years since, when we have no right to ask a man of the ability of President Anderson (and we don’t want any other kind of men in the office with its important tasks) to take this work, attend to the tasks which he'must, and furnish his own automobile, an absolute necessity if the work of the office is to be handled properly. Action should be taken at once to properly protect the holder of this office at least to a sum sufficient to cover expenses. there will be a lively contest for the office of Police Justice. Judge Flint, whose term expires, will be nominated again, and will have for his opponent /Albin N. Johnson, at present attorney for the Village Boarc. of Trustees. The office pays $750 a (Item s ia this column are welcomed from the pesters o l churches end secretaries or ether officials e l church societies.

Order Eastern Star (Special Contribution) On Friday evening, February 21, a masquerade was given by the mem bers of the Chapter and friends at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Penny, 60 New York Avenue. The costumes were both fancy and comic, and as they un - masked at 11 o’clock we found our guesses had been misplaced in regard to many. There was a very large at tendance for a very stormy night. Re freshments were served and at a late hour all voted a most enjoyable time. The Social Club of the Eastern Star met with Mrs. John Southard, 37 No. Bergen Place, last Thursday. There was a large attendance. Music, sew ing and knitting were the pastimes cf the-afternoon. Keep in mind our card party (mili tary 500) March 8, at 8:30 p. m. in our rooms in Mechanics Hall.

He will also attend the Roosevelt Branch and speak to the Sunday School in the afternoon and in the ev ening speak at Rockville Centre. Sunday evening the pastor will open the series of “World Problems” with a sermon cm “Shall We Have Victory With Our Peace?” Sermons for March The series that Rev. J. Sidney Gould preached during February on four great Presidents proved so interesting to the congregation that he is an nouncing another series on “Great World Problems.\ The first of these will be on “Shall We Have Victory With Our Peace?\ Whether we win or Germany wins is not to be settled alone by armies. This sermon will be preached on next Sunday night, then will follow the Sunday after “Have We Been Fighting for the Plutocrat?\ The charge is made too often to be ignored. It must be sifted. Another Sunday even the warning of a recent writer will be March 16, “Will Europe Come to Hate Us When We Collect Our Debts?’’ March 23, “Wheii Can the Church Link Up With Power?” , When the boys come back will they back up the church ? March 30, “Why Is a Bolsheviki ?’’ When we see a cult of such magni tude and power we cannot ignore the query, What is there to it that is right? There is always excellent music. Last Sunday evening the Prelude on the organ was a thing no music lover would have missed if he had really considered from the announcement what was coming, Sextette from Lu cia and the duet by Misses Van Rets and Spier was rendered with fine feel ing and finish.
