THE WATCHMAN FOUNNBD IN 1824 •Entered SVcoti'l riasB Mnlt^r at the Mattltuck Pont Ofllce Publication Office MATtlTUCK PRESS C. H. WICKHAM Owner PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY By Mail Weekly $1.00 Per Year HULL M. WICKHAM Editor Thursday, April 21, 1938 A Spending Holiday Let's have a apenclins holiday. Taxpayers are gettlnp: fed up on appropriations for this, that and the other thing. A surcease from an orgy of spending would be most welcome. No matter whether the town, county, state or nation foots the bills, the money eventually come.s out of the pockets of the poor, suf- fering taxpayer. With taxes mount- ing steadily for new Improvements and new undertakings, Mr. Tax- payer feels he is already saddled with a burden just a little too heavy to bear. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been appropriated for new highways by the Board of Super- visoi's, additional thousands of dol- lars for new buildings and insti- tutions, thousands spent for pre- liminary Burveye for loop bridges and water authority expenses, new automobiles for dozens of county employes, salary Increases all along the line for county employes, ex- pensive rights of way for new roads and on top of it all a steady In- ereftse in practically every aepart- ittenl of the county government- it all just makes the taxpayer dizzy as he Wonders when and how It •Will all be paid for. ' Hardly a meeting of the County J^athers is held nowadays but an appropriation of some sort or other Is approved. It 's a simple pro- tedure to mov€, second and adopt k resolution appropriating several Vhousanda of dollars of the tax- payers' money, but on the other hand, it's going to be an exceed- ingly hard task for the taxpayers to pay the Increase which Is bound to accrue In the taxes on his hum- ble home or farm. Everyone Is In favor of improve- ments which tend to the better- ment of conditions, hut enough Is sufflclent and a holiday from pro- miscuous spending at this time would be in better keeping with the conditions of the times. In too many Instances the value received for the amount of the expenditure Is too meager to warrant the ap- probation of those who pay the bills. More representatives of the peo- ple who have the welfare of the taxpayer at heart to vote \no are needed in an endeavor to hold in check those who so easily approve appropriations brought before them for their consideration. Again we feay let's have a spending holiday. trafTlc Is most intense and erects .signs in these locations. The roads are built at the ex- pense of the motorist and taxpay- er, hut the billboard industry con- trll)ntes nothing. If a new highway is constructed and trafTlc rerouted, it is simpler for the signs to be moved than it is to build up cir- culation. nillhoards have been found to 'constitute a definite menace to motorists. Ercctcd at curve.s, grade crossings and intersections, they distract the drivers' attention and frequently arc the cause of se- rious accidents. Bank Compliments Southold Police Force After Recent Robbery Billboards Under Fire Billboard advertising along pub- lic highways Is under fire. Meade C. Dobson, managing director of the roadside committee of the I..ong Island Association, says and rightly too, they are of a ohiBeling nature since they profit from an invest- ment to which they contribute nothing. They are a hazard to safe driv- ing and thoy mar the countrysidp. I,ike newspapers, whiih lia.se thfir advertising ratt^s on rirculiition, billboard owners lease their space to advertisers on circulation de- veloping from the amount of traf- fic using the highways. Xt'Wspapor.s build circulation at their own expense, however, while the billljoard industry merely seeks out roads and higiiwuya where Following is a letter received by Sup^ervisor S. W. Norton from the Mattltuck r?ank in connection with the March holdup. The Mattltuck National Bank and Trust Company Mattltuck, N. Y. April 12, 1938 Southold Town Board, Greenport, New York. Attention Supervisor S. W. Horton. Gentlemen: The Directors and Personnel of this institution would like to bring to the attention of the Members of the Southold Town Board, th^ fine work of the Southold Town Police' In connection with the holdup of this Bank on March 11th. It was to a large extent due to the quick work of OfHcers Chituk, Wetmore and WIckham, under the supervision of Chief Anrig, that the loc^l accomplices were apprehended and opened for further arrests. The New York State Police and law enforcement agencies of Suf- folk County have advised us that the immediate action of our local officers was most important In the successful solut'ion of the crime. We feel very proud and appre- ciative of our local oflflcers' efforts, and particularly Chief AnrIg, who was not only willing to take any responsibility to bring the criminals to justice, but worked steadily on the case without thought of sleep or glory, but only to see that the people of Southold Town were pro- tected to the limit of his ability. With the kindest personal re- gards, I am Sincerely yours, HENRY L. FLEET, Cashier. Certified seed grown In New York and under Inspection Is best for growers of oats. Although not as plump or as bright as western- grown stock, this seed gives better results at harvest. SOUTHOLD TOWN CHORAL SOCIETY At the next meeting and rehear- sal of the Southold Town Thoral Snciety, Tuesday night, April 26, final j)]anH will bo made for the third annual concert, and also elec- tion of offlcers will be held. This meeting will be lield at the Mattl- tuck School, a departure from the usual rehear.'^al at the Southold Presbyterian Church. Walter AVlllinms, who directs the chori.ster.s at the concert at Mattl- tuck School on Tuesday night, May 10, and also at the pre-concert on May .3 at the Orient Congregational Church, needs very little introduc- tion, this iieing his second year witli the choral group. He is the super- visor of music at the Mattltuck School, and received his training at Pot.sdam Normal. While at Pots- dam he was tenor soloist in several musical organizations and ho has .broadcast over the Columbia and National networks. Mr. Williams promises a well- rounded program containing num- bers by Bach, Brahms, Mendelssohn and other classic and modern com- posers. Different types of music will be represented by religious and secular selections, foreign folk songs and negro spirituals. The men's chorus will sing a group of songs as will the women's chorus, with solos by Helen G. Frost and Nancy Richmond. Harold Niver, tenor, accompanied' by Miss Carolyn Wells, will appear as guest soloist at both concerts, and at the Mattltuck concert Roger Boardman, famous pianist, will en- tertain. The following comprise the chor- us: Sopranos,- Ada Alexander, Clara Benjamin, Dorothy Bergmann, Ma- bel Boutcher, Helen Frost, Dorothy Howell, Dorothy Lehr, Gladys Mer- wln, Virginia Morrell, Lcclle Penny, Doris Richmond, Nancy Richmond.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Bus Schedule OUT THE WINDOWl 'ProI)ation after Death\ is the subject of the Los.son-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Suday, April 21, The Golden Text is: \Verily verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and tliey tiiat hear shall live.\ Among the citations which com- prise the I.esson-Sermon is the following from the Ril)le: \If in this- life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept. For since ))y man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all lie made alive. . . . For he must reign, till ho hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.\ The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following correlative selection from the textbook of Christian Science, \Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,\ by Mary Baker Eddy: \If it Is true that man lives, this fact can never change in Science to the opposite belief that man dies. ... If man believes In death nOw, he must disbelieve in it when learning that there is no reality In death, since the truth of being is deathles.s. The belief that existence is con- tingent on matter must be met and mastered by Science, before Life can be understood and harmony obtained.\ The schedule of our buses for this time of the year. There will be a change in the schedule on or about May 26th. WEST BOUND N.OTICE OF SALE County Court Suffolk County Federal Farm Mortgage Corp., • • Plaintiff, vs. Charles Bruno, et al, Defendants.
