Nix of Hempstead Ave nue was also a special visitor of the evening and discussed his proposal for a subway beneath the tracks of the Long Island Railroad at the pas senger station to safeguard and con venience the traveling public by elimi nating the annoyance of waiting on the south side of the tracks for trains to pull out before they could get to automobiles on the north side, or make way by foot to their homes. Mr. Nix said he felt that the sub way was a necessity and he had come to hear what the board had to say about it. He was a regular commuter and everybody he had sought opinion from, commuters and taxpayers, had favored the subway idea. He understood that proposition was up some years ago, but not favored, because the subway at Freeport at the time was not considered a success. With an excellent police system in Rockville Centre and lights, he saw no obstacles which could not be tiver- come.—Observer. Come over and smell of our sub way, neighbor Nix, before whooping it up too much, then if you could hold your breath long enuf not to have been gassed while going thru Nix will say nix, methinke. School Notes The attendance banner for the week of March 7 went to Miss Elliott’s 6th Grade, while Miss Gissell’s 4th cap tured it for week of March 14. The Junior Red Cross fair followed by the regular monthly Red Cross dance was a great success financially. Nearly $300 was cleared tfhich will enable Roosevelt School to enroll 100 per -cent, and also pay the balance due on the pledge taken by the school last year. The remainder will be put in the Hempstead Bank in the name of the Roosevelt Junior Red Cross, Florence E. Elliott, chairman. In the popularity contest Miss Ei leen Gillespie won with 2,909 votes. Miss Sarah Underhill came second with 2167 and Mabel Dixon third with 1,452. Simon Nathan won the boys' con test with 2,405 votes while Edward Heineman was a very close second with 2,373. Wallace Smith was third with 736. These girls and boys are to be congratulated upon their good work having turned $120.42 into the treasury. The oil painting and beau tiful sofa cushion were not drawn on that evening as all books were not in. FRATERNAL ORDERS We Went Names of Boys We would suggest that our readers furnish us the names and addresses of the boys m Service, especially those abroad or so far from home that they cannot visit at home. We have made. Commercial Travelers the Secret Fretermel Organizations of Freeport anal Vicinity WANTAGH Here are Good Varieties for Home Vegetable Garden and Bad Weather—Receives Pro motion. Dear Mr. Pearsall:— Our trip tq Florida has brought us into the State of Virginia and to a stage of our journey where progress is slow. Leaving Washington, D. C., we had the advantage of good roads and weather to Staunton, Va. Leaving that city both the roads and weather failed us, until we finally had to lay up for four days at Greenville, Va. Leaving here as soon as roads were dry we reached Lexington where we were the guests, over night, of the Virginia Military Institute, the West Point of the South. After leaving Lexington for the climb over the mountains, via Natural Bridge, we found the roads so tortuous that it was necessary to shut off traffic un- tif we passed. Our next stop was Ro anoke, Va. From here we made an uneventful run to Bedford, Va., where we had a ten-day stop for roads to dry up. Leaving Bedford on March 3, we have made but seven miles, be ing held up by frequent rains which changes roads into streams. The roads from Staunton to Dan ville are all dirt and have an exces sive crown which, under muddy con ditions, causes the trucks to slide in to the ditch. When this occurs we make a “frog” of heavy timber, at - angle of 60 degrees to the bank, and with this as a guide for the front wheels we have but little trouble in towing them out, using from two to five trucks. Up to and including Bedford we slept in armories and lodge rooms, but now we are in the wilds of Vir ginia and camping in the pine for ests. The lack of roads in this coun try is deplorable from a military standpoint, if for no other reason, al though I venture to say the farmers lose millions per year on account of I using so many extra horses. We have seven Mack trucks of the AC type, equipped with a double rad- of standard sorts of vegetables from a good seedsman and order at once, according to the College, which Warns against being misled by fancy de scriptions in seed catalogs.

To illustrate. Saturday * we re- ceive<F% telephone call from George Siems of Wantagh, who spoke very kindly of how much he appreciated the receipt of the paper and letters and then called in to see us on Tues day. Monday afternoon we received a telephone call from Lou Duruz. He too spoke kindly of how much the boys long for news from home es pecially after the excitement of the war was over. There are lots of boys still on the other side whose address es we have not, but whom we would like to write to. Red Cross Notes The big drive of the American Red Cross to collect ten thousand tons of used clothing for the destitute refu gees of the devastated countries of Europe will take place between March 24 and 31. Every garment furnished will cover a body which otherwise would lack proper clothing and each garment furnished will actually pre vent suffering. You Can All Spare Something Rummage your wardrobes your attics asd see what you can find Include garments of all kinds, infant’s wear, shoes, stockings, blankets, piece goods. Omit: Stiff hats and flimsy dresses. Kindly leave all articles at Free port Branch, Red Cross rooms, or if you are unable to deliver them, if you will telephone the chairman, Mrs. Charles M. Hart, telephone 123, or Mrs. Albert H. Tolkamp, telephone 981, they will arrange for someone to call for your clothing. Knitters are again called for crildren’s sweaters and children's stockings are needed. Yarn has been provided and may be obtained at the Red Cross rooms Monday and Friday afternoons from 2 to 5. Making Big Spurt Last Saturday the boys of Long Island Council, No. 550, of the United Commercial Travelers, made another spurt toward gaining the percentage increase prize over all Councils in N%w York State by initiating twenty- seven more candidates. As there were a number who were not able to be present to be initiated, it was ar ranged to hold another meeting next Friday evening at the Freeport Club A great time' is expected. The Busy Bee Sewing Circle will meet at the home of President Bent ley this Friday evening for a quilt ing party. They are working hard to make this the banner year. At the W. R.

The Lodge initiated several candi dates last Thursday night, bringing the membership over the 1,100 mark.

Fire Hall on Monday next, March 24. Everybody corpe and enjoy a good luncheon and help sew and knit. There was a very joyful welcome home party last Saturday night held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Krause in New York Ctiy in honor of their son, Rudolph, and George Siems of this village, who came home with the 27th Division. Both boys were wounded or gassed, but are very well Reception to Returned 15th Mr. and Mrs. Thaddeus Crummel tendered a reception to their son, Richard, just returned with the Fif teenth Infantry, at their home, 45 Newton Boulevard, Thursday evening, ^xvith music, games and refreshment.

Of these ten, two were killed, Henry Morrison and Walter Whittaker; Fred Dennison and George Anderson were wounded so badly they did not return to their regiment, but were sent home in casuals. Sergearit Ralph Havens was reported killed in action but was only shocked and returned with his outfit; Pierce Grey was left behind, and his comrades do not know whether he is still in France or in a hospital in this country; Eugene Clement has not yet been discharged, and will have to be sent out West for treatment, from heavy gassing; and the others received severe doses of gas, Richard Crummel, Corporal Henry Toomer, Mechanic Walter Williams and Samuel Collins, Toomer having been official ly reported wounded.

Real Estate Improving The advertisement of John J. Ran dall Co., in our last two issues, has been of unusuSl interest. They are of the opinion that 500 new houses selling at from $4,000 to $7,000 could be sold in Freeport during the next six months, judging from the tale in the past few weeks. There is a whole lot to think about in their statement that labor is plentiful and will be come more so as the boys return from France, and by giving them work you will be doing them a good turn as well as making some money for your self. * Real Estate Notes H. E. Vanltiper has sold his house at 98 Lexington Avenue to H. R. Rob inson, now residing in it, and the house at 100 Lexington Avenue to Mr. Thomas of New York.
