Relief Compoign
To Stort April 8
Two thousand dollars has been
set as the goal of the annual
campaign for the Freeport Salva-tion
Army corps, which will be
conducted from Wednesday. April
4, through Thursday, April 30.
Preliminary plans were made at
a luncheon meeting of the cam-paign
leaders in the home of Ad-jutant
and Mrs. Joseph E. Heard,
40 Nassau avenue, last Monday.
Former Mayor Robert E. Patter-son
will again be chairman of the
drive, with L. Burton Cassin,
.cashier of the First National Bank
and Trust Co., as treasurer.
Other members of the executive
^committee are the Rev. J. Gordon
Hynes, pastor of the First Baptist
Church; Dr. Florence Van??os-trandi
Mrs. William J. Martin,
Mrs. W. W. Button, Mrs. Phoebe
A. Scholey, Mrs. Robert BL Earon,
IMrg. Budd K. 8trader, Lawrence
!L. Luther, William J. Marvin,
Martin M. Mansperger and Oeorge
W. Goeller.
Adjutant Heard explained that
-every cent contributed in the
campaign is spent in providing
relief for some unfortunate Free-port
resident. Not a cent of this
money is apent for administrative
purposes, he added. He empha-sized
the fact that the Salvation
Army is called on to give assis-tance
in many emergency cases.
If a family is found to be with-out
food or coal and the matter ia
called to the attention of Adju-
• taat Heard, he gees to it that the
(food or fuel is provided promtly.
Others indicated that the Sal-vation
Army acted while other
agencies were taking time to carry
on an investigation and thus was
dblo to.provide prompt assistance
in emergency casea.
Another thin? brought out at
the luncheon was that friends fre-quently
call cases to the atten-tion
of the Salvation Army, when
the unfortunate people H& their
pride prevent them from appealing
in person for relief.
^» Mrs. S trader, Dr. VanNostrand
and Mr. Goeller were nominated
for members of the Advisory
Board.
Mrs. R. H. Eonm Heods

while the work was in. progress,
and thus avoid creating a housing
problem. She also said the work
would be started shortly.
Mrs. Felicia Lago, owner of
bungalows at 59, 61, and 63 Liberty
ave., with a rear building on one
lot, said she had obtained esti-mates
on providing sanitary and
batlilng facilities and running wa-ter
to be installed in the cellar
of each house, so that an outhouse
and pump could be eliminated.
Mr. Hastle said that * the out*
house and pump were so close to
each other they constituted a vio-lation
of the New York State and
Nassau County health laws, which
if not remedied would result in
the Issuance of an order for the
premises to be vacated. However,
Mrs. Lago said Khe work of rem-edying
conditions wouid be gtart-ed
almost immediately.
.Joseph LaBella, appeared for his
wife, Mrs. Jennie LaBeUs, of Rail-road
ave., who owtu four one-family
buildings at .99, 7,1. and 73
Liberty ave., one building being
located in the rear.
Four Houses Without Water
Mr. Hastie said he had Inspect-ed
the property and found they
were completely lacking in sani-itary
a,nd water facilities. The
four families had to use a com-mon
outhouse and obtain water
from the pump on the Lago prop-erty
which had been condemned!
If Che pump were eliminated, he
said, Mrs. LaBella's tenants would
be entirely without water. Mr. La-
Bella insisted he was getting $35
a month out of the four houses,
$10 each fop three and $5 from
the rear dweling, and lacked the
money to eliminating the condi-tions
complained of. Mr. Hastle
warned, howeved, that unless some-thing
was done he would order
Ohe premises vacted immediately.

The Nassau County Department

promise was. made- by J. L. Bar-ron,
of the Division of Sanitation.
in a letter to Mayor Worden E.
Wmne and announced at a meet-
Ing of the Village Board Munday
night. .
Mr. Barren wrote also that "the
State Labor Department, which
has the primary responsibility for
the problem of Industrial hygiene
is apparently ineffective in dealing
with this situation %s it may ef-fect
residents in the vicinity of
Preeportera Co-operate

"The physiological effect of zinc
oxide, as discharged from this
plant, upon adjoining residents, is
di,Sicult to determine. However
further investigations ivill be made
and Che possibility of the recovery
of zinc oxide will be discussed
with Mr. Seavor."
Mr. Barren's letter was in reply
to one written to Health Commis-sioner
Earle G. Brown, by Mayor
Wlnne in which he indicated the
village had no ordinance dealing
with the .pollution of atmosphere,
but that he noted there was a
county health ordinance dearing
with the situation.
The "Mayor said he had con-ferred
with Mr. Beaver, executive-vice-
president of the corporation,
on Feb. 28, to' see what could be
done to correct the situation com^
plained of.
"The Columbian Bronze Corp. is
At the present time devoting its

"Mr. Seavor made certain state-mentd
that Uhe vapor or fmhes
were not deleterious and would
not endanger the public health.
The village has no staff quall^ed
to determine whether these vapors
are deleterious to public health
and I am therefore respectfully
referring -the matter to you for
vyour investigation and action un-der
• the County Health Ordinance
As the facts may warrant."
In reply Mr. Barron wrote Dr.
Brown had referred the matter to
him, and . said some investigations
already had been made of Indus-
.trial, hygiene problems in the
plant and also with respect to
sanitation facilities and a cross-
* "connection between a plant water

Freeport residents co-operated
almost 100 per cent in the Nassau
County blackout experiment o»
Tuesday night. Police Chief Peter
Elar had about 150 regular and
auxiliary policemen patrolling the
village; members of all fire com-panies
assembled in their various
fire houses, and 505 'Air Raid
wardens \vere. scattered through
the various posts under the direc-tion
of Sector. Warden John
Brown lie, but there waa little for
them to do.
Air Raid wardens reported that
some, families left their homes for
the evening leaving lights on.
Others thought they had lights
blacked out but found the jobs
were not so thorough as they be-lieved
and had to be advised to
extinguish the lights by wardens.
Some oeople used candles, which
=-%^K?^
outside. But the vast majority just
decided to douse the lights and sit
in darkhess until the "all clear"
signal was given.
Merchants throughout the village
observed the instructions of the
Defense Council, except in one case
where the nepn lighta were left
burning/The manager of a jewelry
store on Main St. had tried to
screen the light over a clock, but
when he found the light still
showed, he turned it oK.
One Long Island Railroad, train
passed through the village each
way. One had its heaTllight dim-med
but the other shone out in all
its glory as it shot by. In neither
train were all the shades drawn
so lights glowed from many win-dows.
.
No effort had been made by the
State Department of Public Works
to co-operate with the authorities
so all the traffic. Jjghts along-Sun-rise
Highway were turned on as
brightly as ever, though all village
traffic Tights were-about 99 pe"r
cent eclipsed."•""-— "
DrJ Herman-42; Dunker, director
of Civil Defense for Freeport, ex-pressed
complete satisfaction over
the 'blackout trial, and said he was
sure that in the event of an actua
emergency the village could be
darkened in a few seconds. The
same sentiments were expressed by
Asa A. Trenchant, his chief aid
Fred S. Patterson, who had charg
of communications: Mr. Brownli
and Police Chief Elar. Fire Chie
Edward Kohout had his men al
ready had there been need fo
their services.
The blackout lasted 21 minutes
The yellow, or alert signal, wa
Gashed at 8:38 o'clock; the blue
or preparatory, at 8:32; the red
or actual air r&ld warning, at 9:0?
and the all clear (white), at 9:23
