to obtain yarn. The problem was
solved by the decision to collect

that netted them more than $10
as a yarn fund.

Needs t o Exchange Club Members
Dealers who arc holding gcrap iron for a price and in-dividuals
who are doing like with paper were assailed hy Judge
George B. Serenbetz, of Hempstead, in an address to the Free-port
Exchange Clyb yesterday in the Crystal Lake Hotel,
Judge Serenbetz whose topic was*$>
"What Can I Salvage?" said that
while the Japanese bought scrap
Iron at $6.50 a ton F. O. B.,
Brooklyn, the same dealers were
charging the government $20 a ton
and refusing to let It go at the
$14 a ton celling fixed by Hen-derson.
He predicted that eventu-ally'the
iron would be requisition-ed
and the scrap dealers paid
whatever the Government bid for
it.
He added that the .government
was short the 3,700,000 tons of
scrap metal that would be need-ed
this month. He said also that
only 37 per cent of the waste
paper was being salvaged in Nas-sau
County, whereas the percent-age
should be 83. He showed also
paper mills and blast furnaces
were closed down throughout, the
country because of the inability
to obtain materials.
Judge Serenbetz urged people to
save rubber, paper, tin cans and
all other metaQs.
The Judge, who was a major in
the world war, spoke of the sit-uation
in Lhe Philippines where he
served. He asserted that Gen.
Douglas McArthur knew more
about the East than any other
general in Uie world and said that
placed

Wavell's place would
not have fallen. He also said that
4,000 Japanese were employed by
the railroads in the West, that
these Japanese had access to* --dy-namite
and knew where it could
be used to the best advantage.
Resolutions were adopted urg-ing
defeat of legislation giving
pensions to congressmen. David M.

One million dollars worth of

Monday.
"Our budget of last Fall,' said
Mr. Sprague, "provided for $1,700,-
000 reduction in bonded debt dur-ing
1942. It also provided for
$1,000,000 in improvements deemed
necessary at the time.
"We have since gone to war. In
the light of the great defense ef-fort
and its cost .to all of us, we
have reconsidered this million dol^

eliminated it—as not-absolutely es-sential

bondeS debt of $52,900,000 of which
just about half more than $26,-
