STANLEY JONES SPEAKS AT DINNER Dr. Stanley P. Jones of Matti- tuck, last night delivered a most interesting talk interspersed with humor on ‘‘Medicine at the World’s Fair” before a gathering of 38 members of the Cutchogue Cham ber of Commerce at the quarterly meeting and dinner held at Mrs. Fensch’s Boarding House in New Suffolk. .. Dr. Jones discussed the various exhibits and entered into brief descriptions of each. The appre ciation of Dr. Jones’ address may be attested to by the hearty round of applause which he received when he finished. Charles J. Sherman, yclept “Ap ple Jack Mike,” also a guest speaker, said a few words in be half of Cutchogue and the pro gress it had made in the last few years. His talk, spiced with a flavor of wit, was enjoyably re ceived. > -^inohg the business matters ■which were brought up was one of cleaning up the “mess” at the rear of the Dr. Peterson block of shops. Also, the dilapidated barn which stands just south of the Main highway on New Suffolk lane and has long since been an eye-sore to residents and visitors, came in for its share of criticism. It was hoped that these unsightly spectacles would be removed in the not too distant future.
