PAGE TWELVE T H E WATCHMAN THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1 9 3 9 New Trees Are Planned For Southold Town (Gontinued from Page 1) Commissioner Brandt of the State Highway Department had prom ised that the State would replant the State Highway on Route 25, It was further reported that officials of the Long Island State Park Commission had been con tacted and they had promised the services of their* experts to us. The amount of work that can be accomplished depends 75 per cent on the co-operation received by the committee from property owners. This co-operation will be required in some of the following suggested ways: 1. Permission to plant trees back from the road on private property in spots where the cement road, sidewalk and gutters make it im practical to replace trees in the highway. 2. Cooperation of property own ers in perhaps paying for the trees at cost, and assisting in the planting, care, etc. It was thought by many present that the damage done during the hurricane would be found to be considerably greater than anyone anticipated, and that even with the assistance of property owners both in labor and cash, a very considerable outlay of money and labor over a period of years would be required. The following were appointed general chairmen to form sub committees in their respective communities: Mattituck—Dr. John L, Wasson, president Mattituck Chamber of Commerce. Cutchogue—Theodore O. Beebe. Peconic—Frank D, Smith. Southold—Mrs. William Rich. East Marion— Orient—George Young. The meeting was adjourned un til 8 p. m. on Friday, Feb. 17. The committee is to be called to order in the Town Clerk’s office at Southold. Public comment and suggestions from every resident of the Town of Southold are most earnestly solicited by your abova listed committee. Please write, phone or call be fore the evening of Friday, Feb. 17, so that the committee may have all possible data available at that time. By JImmte Downt HAPPY BIRTHDAY? Yowsah, yowsah, chillun, thankee, thank ee! Yes indeedy, kids, we are about to step out of the rompers, which we think we’ve outgrown (maybe) and into a pair of ado lescent knee britches. No, it isn’t that we think we’re full grown— far from it, but just out of the puberty stage, y’know. T’will pro bably be a long, long time (if ever) that you’ll see us in long pants, but GIVE IT ALL WE’VE GOT will be our slogan. Just three hundred and seventy- six days ago John “Pop” Shee han, Riverhead’s practical joker, who at that time was affiliated with THE WATCHMAN, dropped into to see us that afternoon with Editor Hull Wi(Jkham. They in quired as to our health, which we let them know was in pretty good condition and of course we re marked about the weather, which wasn’t so hot, they agreed. Then one thing led to another, as things have the remarkable habit of do ing, until it was finally asked would we consider writing LO CAL NEWS ITEMS. Knowing that a thriving metropolis like Aquebogue gave opportunity for a never ending number of scoops n’things we answered in the af firmative meanwhile wondering if the arrival of Spring mailorder CATALOGS or “Pete” Downs’ return from a couthern sojourn would make interesting reading. T’was the night before Febru ary 1st (’38) that we handed in our initial contribution to the Press under the title “ACROSS THE BOARD,” which was so far fetched that it’s meaning had to be explained in the following is- cussed at a courthouse meeting * • * Maricella (thicken-pox) was having a fling—this years its MEASLES.

Pugsley, Mabel Lanj, for our journalistic talents and after considerable thought we fin ally gathered enough courage to ask the editor what he thought of a bit of a gossip column pertain ing to the DOINGS of the young er set along the North Fork, We had our doubts as to his approval and you can imagine that we were no end surprised when he ups and says it sounded like “a pretty good idea” and “why not give’er a trial?” Very much pleased we trium phantly set about producing two columns and on the eve of Feb ruary 8th, “YOUTH ABOUT TOWN” was born, weighing about a pound and a half (in type) and measuring about eleven and a half inches in length. A fine looking speciman, we thought, but our knees were watery as we waited fervently for it to make le oremiere appearance.
