The kingbolt broke and the horse ran away, cutting a gash in his side. No injuries to Mr. and Mrs. Sigmond. Election Night was remarkably quiet in town, very few people appearing on the streets and one small bon-fire near the station. No returns were available except those at the moving picture show on Main St. Very few intoxicated persons were around and the day passed quietly. The Freeport Club entertained its members and friends Election Night by having a smoker and having the re turns read over a special wire. A good crowd was present* who enjoyed the event to the utmost. Frank Stevens contemplates a ten day trip through the south, starting possibly next week. The Stroller’s Column Assessor Charles W.

The of ficers of this society are: Pres., Mrs. A. E. Hunt; 1st. Vice Pres., Mrs. T. The last base-ball game of:the season was played by the home team on their grounds here with Wantagh.

PRICE, 6 CENTS know how to help, too. 4 Since the whole district is so active ly engaged in the good work, I’d like to tell the \Boys” that it is “up to you” to deserve the confidence that is being reposed in you. There are many fire companies on Long Island who started without any more than you have and who by dint of hal'd work pany an institution worth while. Fol low their example, be an institution that will do honor to the community and yourselves. Your Board of Trustees are all men of judgment and integrity and have set you a good example. Even _ though some of the old “ Boys” can’t get around quite as fast as the younger ones, they are just as deeply interested as the youngest enthusiast in Smithville South. Somewhere I have seen the motto on a machine “ where duty calls you’ll always find us.” Don’t put anything like that on the machine. Just keep it under your hat. You’ll always have it with you then—not locked up in the fire house. Good luck to you. Veritas. To the Editor: In your issue of the 30th of October you invite discussion of the Church Subject in Bellmore Avenue. Does the matter really need discus sion or does it actually need action. Action on the part of the people is the only thing that will be of advan tage in any undertaking. Action with just a good slice of heart in it always finds the answer sought. This nation is classified as a Chris tian Nation and yet it is surprising to what an extent the “ Heathen doth Flourish” right in our midst. The answer is found with those folks who attend service. We have often heard the expression “ Cold as Greenland.” How many of us will look into our own conscience and see what part we have taken in bringing about the con dition? How warm our handclasp? How enthusiastic our welcome to the “ stranger within our gates? How hearty and cordial our invitation to call again? How earnest is our desire to help the erring brother? How does it show to that brother? Longfellow in his “ Psalm of Life” says “ Life is real, life is earnest.” Our best endeavors should be to our Heavenly Father, the giver of all Good Gifts, and unless we are in earnest wherein can we give our best? Think of it—political organizations, social organizations, athletic clubs— That sound of hammering from the West was caused by the L. I. R. R. carpenters putting up a new shelter at the Lynbrook station. Charles Abrams of Ehst Rockaway has such a big oyster business that he is able to be ranked as_a liberal en tertainer. He loves to have his friends around him to pass away a Winter’s evening and that costs money. _ ___ ____ ___ _____ ______ i __ j ___ Daniel Eldredge, salesman, of ^ g ^ Y n ^ liu le whlle^ In'a1 statement I ^ d' S™ith heads the batting list,Frank I held this Friday Hempstead, has travelled around Long to the officers Bioch coulll not identify ! ^ isRS®Cond’ Sa,“ Seaman ! morial Church. the man but remembers being struck tau< 1 Bellmore Club intends putting with a club. up a grand stand on their grounds and There are, it is stated, some clues getting together a strong team to meet which will eventually lead to the de- a C01™-rs. ^ is reported that a tection of the man committing the as- vaudeville show and dance is contem- sault, but further than this no state- ^ a et ^ Base-ball Club to raise ment is given the press.
