Mighty Forces at Work;
Expects Better World
These are great times in which
to be alive, C. Oliver Moore, lo-cal
resident and New York at-torney,
told the members of the
Freeport Rotary Club at their
weekly dinner in the Elks club
house.
There is a great revolution
going on, of which Hitler is the
outward manifestation, he said,
continuing: "All history is ended
and history is about to begin
again. The world Ts in the midst
of a fearful travail in which we
are all in. We can see and feel
that mighty forces arc at work,
and it is a great period in which
to be living."
Mr. Moore was introduced by
President W, Sargeant Nixon,
* and spoke on "Where Is Amer-ica
Going?"
"I am not a prophet, or the son
of a prophet, but I know we are
on the way to victory so far as
our arms arc concerned, I have
no hesitency in saying that. jAng
we arc on our way to a better
world. There are a great many
factors that arc unknown to us.
We are going somewhere, but
where are we going? We may
have taken a wrong fork or
) and may be on a by-way,
but we'll get on the right road
sooner or later/'
Mr. Moore told how wars stir
people and nations out of their
complacency with the result that
things are accomplished that
wouldn't have been in times of
peace. He pointed out that fol-lowing
the first World War peo-ple
turned to material things
which failed to satisfy and led
to the second great world con-officers
consisting entirely of
members engaged in business in
Freeport, was elected to serve
until the end of the fiscal year
on May 1. It follows: Mr. Nix-on,
president; A.F. Bassett, vice-president;
John W." "Southard,
treasurer; John Willets, secreta-ry;
Robert B. Paterson, ser-geant-
at-arms; .Edward B.
Thompson, Elvin N. Edwards,
and Sylvester .Hayward, Board
of Trustees, with Charles Shinn,

"Whcro we go from here/' he
said, "depends entirely on wheth-er
we are in the right and
are willing to work for our
ideals," he added. "I believe we
are going on to a better world
but we must all work to make
it a worth while world in which
to live."

Guard Dnif Ready
To Bait Invaders
Or Quell Outbreak
So Cap*. Chevalier
Tells Legion Which
Enteitalns Co. A
Freeport's own Company A,
and the other Long Island units
of the New York Coast Guard,
arc prepared to hold off an in-vading
force or quell any local
disturbance until reinforcements
arrive, Capt. J. Roger Chevalier
told the members of William
Clinton Story Post, A.L., at their
semi-monthly meeting Friday
night in the dugout. Capt. C.
"H^>Wafd^J*&csany_^past-,j%ppiQi%nd -
er of the post, and head of Com-pany
A, Fourth Battalion, with
headquarters in Jamaica, concur-red
in this assertion.
Members of Company A were
the guests of thr Legion, and
turned out 100 percent. They'
were welcomed by Senior Past
Commander Robert D. Campbell.'
He expressed appreciation not
only on behalf of the post, but
said he felt sure he spoke for
the citizens of Freeport, for 'the
performance and sacrifices the
Guardsmen are making in the
interest of local defense.
Capt. Chevalier, in reply,
briefly traced^ the .history of the
local unit. Re said tHe purpose
of the State Guard was to pro-!
tect the area in the event of a
commando raid or a breakout
of local trouble. He declared the
Guardsmen would have the ad-vantage
in the event of an at-tempted
landing by the ^nemy,
because they knew all the roads,
every foot of the land and "our
own people, - on whose help we
can depend." The enemy can-not
do that, he added.
The captain assured his audi-ence
the work of the Guardsmen
consisted of more than drilling.
He spoke of scouting and rc-connaisance
problems that had
been worked out in territory
within a twenty-five mile radius
of Frecport.- The men Were pre-pared,
he continued, to estab-lish
road blocks, defend various
positions/ %)ower houses and pub-lic
utilities.^ — -
'=" The- time^was/- he "asserted,
"when it looked ae though we
Were in fo"r an invasion of some
sort," though he indicated he
felt there was less likelihood of
one now. He said originally the
men had to depend on weapons
they could borrow or steal, but
now they have very good equip-ment,
though probably not so
good as that with which the reg-ular
Armj? is equipped.
Company A, he remarked", ha3
the largest and quickest turnout
of the State in a recent mobili-zation,
100 percent of the mem-bers
responding to the call, as
well as two medical men. He
spoke of the performance of the
company Iduring its recent trip
to Camp Smith, Peekskill, and
said it wras the only company to
both successfully defend and at-tack
a miniature town, set up
for that purpose. .
"No matter what happens yot%
can. count on us," Capt. Cheva-lier
concluded.

Nassau Population Up 10 P. C.;
Industries Get Like Sugar Increase
Frecport bakers, ice-cream ma-nufacturers,
soft drink manufac-turer^
and all others registered
with (he rationing boards as in-dustrial
users.:jpf_ sugar are en-to"
a"tcn
in their suzar allotment*—as a
result of the action of the Of-fice
of Price Administration in
Washington in placing Nassau
County on the list of counties
where the population has in-creased
10 percent or more since
the 1940 Federal census was
taken.
The increase is retroactive in
It- applies _ to ..the.
July^August allotments as well
for September-October. The in-creased
grant does not apply to
those using sugar for canning
vegetables.
Augustus B. Wellcr, director
of rationing for Nassau County,
in making the announcement
said application for the increased
allotments must be made before
Sept. 5, as if the application * is
delayed beyond that date, the
July-August increase could not
be granted.
Nassau County is one of 174
counties in the entire country
to receive this recognition and
Senaca and Tompkihs counties
up-state ar« the only others in
New York.- —^_ir
This'increase follows-a 10
cent increase made on Alig, 14,
on August allotments and 10 per-cent'
on September - October al-lowances
made to all industrial
users, most of whom have been
complaining bitterly about the
lack of sugar.
The action was taken follow-ing
a surVey of building permits
issued throughout the county
during.J941, 1942 and up.to July
31. It showed 11,537 dwellings
or apartments, erected with liv-ing
quarters for 46,148 persons
on a basis of four to a family.
Ration board records . showed
455,442 No. 2 food books issued
indicating an increase of 48,694
over the federal census figures of
406,746 taken'in 1940. The aver-age
yearly increase in population
based on Federal census figures
between 1930 and 1940 was 10,-
410, whereas the increase since
194b, according to the number ol
food books issued, indicated an
average annual increase of 18,852,
of the improved conditions
in the war situation, it had been
decided the force could be re-duced
with safety. This belief,
he added, was concurred by the
Federal government, the local
police and other agencies. He
said, also, that Rockville Centre
had reduced the number of
guards at its plants for the same
reason.
As the men arc paid $5.50 a
day, and work seven days a week
the financial saving will amount
to a considerable sum. On aa
• annuj^ basl* the total Ip;
' while fo^'th^'^ ri^alnia
months of the Oscaj year
March 3J, the saving wiJI be
$6,200.
Mr. Gallo explained that the
plants will receive the same pro-tection
as they have in the past,
with fewer men on duty. Police
sergeants in their rounds will
check up on the men guarding
the plants. All the guards had to
take a Federal oath when they
were appointed. Consequently the
sanction of the Government was
required before their services
could be dispensed with. Police
Chief Peter Elar also acquiesced
in the plan, and assured the
board all The plants would re-ceive
adequate protection after
the force had been reduced.
As the men worked on eight-hour
shifts, the reduction means
there will be two men less on
guard on two shifts and -three
on the third. _<n=iv':
