Canteen and Motor
Corps Especially
Short of Volunteers
Appeals for more canteen
kers and drivers for the motor
corps were issued this week by
Mrs. E* Freeman Miller, chair-man
of the Frecport Red Cross
Branch.
Mrs. Miller said the bulk of
the work in these activities was
"Being done by a few faithful
members, which was not fair.
She expressed the hope that
there might be a substantial re-sponse
to the pica; for addition-al
volunteers in both branches
of the service.
. Mrs. M. Elizabeth Hardcastle,
Frceport 7631, is chairman for
the Canteen unit, and Mrs. Dor-othy

Village Cuts
Insurance Cost
(Continued from Page 1)
tended to employees of the vil-lage
who use their personal cars
in the performance of their du-ties.
There the coverage has
been similarly increased at an
additional premium cost of $2.
And under special rates applied
for the premiums have been de-creased
about $80.
Another benefit has been in
the insurance of village cars
against fire and theft. The for-mer
policy provided for month-ly
reductions of 2 percent in the
value of the vehicles, while un-der
the new arrangement, due to
war time emergencies, there is
no 2* percent monthly reduction
clause in the policy and the val-ue
of machines stolen or de-stroyed
by fire will be fixed at
the time of the loss.
Thus far four policies have
been issued in conformity with
recommendations based on the
survey and on which $1,000 has
been saved on premiums. These
are on the Fire Department, the
automobile fleet, private cars

the village has to protect the

has not been done though It
could have been without an In-crease

developed into an important ia*

new policy giving" $100,000 and
$100,000 liability protection to
the village, the land owners and
the bus companies will be issued
as per lease agreements with the
village leaving no loopholes.
Other reductions may result
as formqr coverages expire, Mr.
Preyer said. No doubt, he add-ed,
the village will be enabled
to purchase manufacturers' and
contractors' liability insurance
covering cases of persons sus-taining
bodily injury or death of
citizens as the result of various
village operations not covered at
the presen time.
The new administration, he
continued, has instituted the idea
of. considering security above al%

past.

This area extends along the Sun-rise
Highway as far west as
Henry st., and as far east as Al-bany

"The population existing in

1,600 people, of
which over 91% are Negro, or

about 300 others and marched
them five, miles to a prisoners of

machine gun nests and other for-tifications.
"I went on night patrols be-hind

War Service at its* monthly
meeting in the Legion Dugout
Tuesday afternoon.
The resolutions were drafted
by a committee headed by Mrs*
Robert H. Earon appointed at
the July meeting, and adopted
unanimously.
In the preamble attention was
called to the fact that announce-,
dient had been, made by the Gov-ernment
that the Japanese youths
were to be permitted to leave the
camp; to continue their studies
while "our own American youth
of lp year: are being inducted
into the armed force* of. our na-tion."

the success of the attack on
Pearl Harbor was "furnished by
this ^ame so-called native born
Japanese to the Japanese mili-tary
authorities, * * * causing
death and injury to thousands of
ouf American people/'
Another contention is that the
Japanese have shown "their ut-ter
disregard of anything truly
American." As a result the reso-lutions
propose that a "safer and
saner method of utilizing the
ability and knowledge of this
people in view of the shortage
of farm labor, would be to arm
