One group who were thusly caught while sailing on Peconic Bay were three girls in a 15 foot snipe sailboat. They were Jane Bell, Barbara Sealy and her sis ter Betty, all summer residents of Mattituck. At the time when the storm struck they were opposite the residence of Edward Richards on Bay avenue and were seen by his daughter Carol, who being the owner of a similar boat realized their possible danger and imme diately went about locating a boat to go to their aid. She succeeded in locating her brother Roger and Charles Price and Bruce Norris, who put out in a 23 foot motor launch belonging to Frank Rich ards of Bay avenue. They found the girls hanging to the sides of their swamped boat and none the worse for their venture. Because of the short life of the storm and the direction of the wind the bay at that point was not very rough and little damage was done to the boat. HE MAY BE MICKEY TO YOU BUT —- In the United States the most famous of all mice is Walt Dis ney’s Mickey Mouse. However, Mickey is known all over the world, and some of his names are almost unrecognizable. In Germany he is Michael Mous, while France knows him as Mich el Souris. In Spain he is the more elaborate Miguel Ratoncito. In Japan he is Miki Kuchi, while the Russians, out of contempt for the bourgeoisie, describe him as Com rade Mickey. —The Commentator Magazine.
