The driver jumped out and gained the cover of the woods in that section. A telephoned report from Kropp brought rpore officers and blood hounds from the state police head quarters at Hawthorne to the scene. It was nearly dawn when after following a winding trail for some thirteen miles the dogs lost the scent and the pogse had to turn back. Sheriff Dreyer then attended to the details of having Grossman’s description sent out by teletype, radio, and later on handbills. The suspension of two guards was also announced on Monday by Sheriff Dreyer, that of Raynor and of Kropp, who left the jail on Sunday to get milk at the county farm in Yaphank without the permission of his superiors while he was assigned to guard duty at the jail. Grossman was described as being about 5 feet 7 inches tall, weigh ing 150 pounds, and having brown hair and eyes. He is of slender build and his complexion is sal low. A small mole under his right eye and a tendency to squint gave him his nickname. He also pos sesses a police record listing him as a counterfeiter and dope sales man. It was on July 10, 1938, that the jewels -syere stolen at the swanky beach club from Mrs. Emily Smith Warner, daughter of former Governor Srnith and wife of Major John A. Warner, state police superintendent, and her house guest, Mrs. Foye Stani- ford, of Hewlett Park. The first car of Idaho Triumphs was loaed and shipped June 22 from Weiser, Idaho. This shipment started the 1939 spring potato deal for the state of Idaho and by the first week in July the deal should be in full swing. The estimate for this spring deal is put at 2,00Q cars, of which 250 cars will be the White Rose Variety. Last year this sec tion of Idaho shipped 2,154 cars up to the first of September and it is thought that this year’s deal will be a little short of last year. Growing conditions have been favorable and the size and quality should be good. The first potatoes dug tend to indicate this will be the case. Some contracts have been made for potatoes starting July 1, but these are light in num ber as compared with last year. The prices on these early con tracts are reported to be around 65c bulk. The shippers are look ing forward to this deal and there is a feeling of optimism. Mattituck Church Scene Of Pretty Wedding Saturday (Continued from Page 1) with beige lace and hats of the same net with lace flowers. All attendants wore beige shoes and gloves. They carried mixed flow ers bouquets with pink orchid shades predominating. The groom, his best man, Don ald Menendez, of Columbus, Ohio, and the ushers all wore blue coats and white trousers, with small carnation pink buttoniers in the coat lapel. The church decorations were of green and white, with laurel, white lilies, phlox and hydrangea tastefully arranged. The ceremony was witnessed by throngs of rel atives and friends who filled the church. After the ceremony the wedding party stood in the church vestibule for a while to greet the people. Following this, over seventy guests drove to the home of As semblyman arid Mrs. Edmund R. Lupton, uncle and aunt of the bride. The lovely reception ten dered the couple there was the wedding gift to the bride and groom from Mr. and Mrs, Lupton. This, too, proved a fitting and brilliant continuation of the event.

We warn you ahead of time that this will be the shortest strip in a long, long time—and aint youse glad! There are several reasons for the abbrivation, but we won’t bother you with details, *o on with the N E W S ............ * • • Griffin’s, in South Jamesport, is rating unusual interest this sea son—to us it seems. On Wednes day nights the Jitterbugs flock in droves—and do they raise the roof? No, its the floor that bears the strenuous burden. All the Hawaiian band has to do is to break into a swing number and the glassware does a Polka across the table top—’tis no fun either if one is there to quench a thirst, cause three-quarters of one’s time and energy is used in diving after tumblers of liquid of various hues and shades. And Griffin’s has a Master of Ceremonies — Frank Gigilo, by name. He sings and dances and in his spare moments taps duets with any willing lass—^last Wed nesday ’twas Shirley Vail—whom, m’Dears, is quite adept in a terp- sichorean sort of way. The Oyster town finds it quite convenient to dash up as far as this particular spot—Artie Levine and party being its recent repre sentatives. Yes, there is dancing every eve ning except Monday—and “Celeb rity nite” every Wednesday. * * • At the point of condensation we give you the following bits and items: Three pairs of Newlyweds re cently packed their linen hankies and dashad away on a trio of respective Honeymoons. Mr. and Mrs. Ollie Griffin, Mrs. Griffin formerly Dorothy Minningham, visiting at Shark River, New Jer sey—Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Corwin Tuthill touring the New England group—and Mr, and Mrs. M. J. Hendry taking the same routs with their destination across the border ***** Georgie, of the Gar den family, strove vainly one eve ning, at a local Spot, to ignore some forced attentions ***** Walt Haberman has been reported tak ing driving lessons at Wildwood ***** The SHADOW— of a Dodge coupe once again is cast upon the curbing of that Sixth and Flint Street corner ***** Freddie Gree- ly joins the great and ever-in creasing army of the Ball & Chain — and let bygones be bygones *• *** Again the Rodgers Brunette lunches with the McNary lad, but this time at the Bristol— not the “romantic” Hawaiian Room ***** Veranda activities are reported shifting to the opposite side of the Sixth and Flint corner ***** We absently wonder where Richie Lewin getzum ***** Chum Inn doesn’t appear to be as unpopular as formerly reported ***** Bobby Dennis, we understand, has quit his own ranks to join the Fury Commanders ***** Big Louis, of the Sea Shell, nurses the possi bility that Witchcraft has not gone forever ***** Streaky says — “its off the record”, so we wont mention seeing him at a famous Spot last weekend ***** Ceil Nostrand, of Yonkers and Mattituck, accepts a betrothal cir clet * * « Jack’s Shack announces, above the sizzling of frying Franks, that a Water Tournament will be held at Southold's to\Vn beach during July’s latter part. More explicit information will be available soon. The Lifeguard tower, at the ‘first settler’ bathing and tanning spot, will miss Wakey Wilson and wel come a member of the Pemberton brood ----- called “Rip”, of course.
