The -third annual AH-out-to-
CHurch Sunday was a success
in swelling the congregations of
the local churches In the opinion
of the Rev; David G. Jaxhelmer,
president* of the Inter-Faith
Clergy Council and the other lo-cal
pastors.
Except for the Rev. John J.
Mahon, pastor of Our Holy Re-deemer
R. C. Church, who said
his parishioners filled the church
as usual, though there might
have been a few more than us-ual
present, churches reported
increased attendances ranging
from 15 percent to 100 percent
at the Transfiguration Episcopal
Church, where services were
held In the parish house.
Rabbi B. Leon Hurwitz of
Temple Israel, where efforts
were made to increase the con-gregation
last Friday night,
timated the attendance was close
to 75 percent above the average.
Reports on the success of the
occasion will be made at a vic-tory
rally to be held in the
3Se^?ji^M^i@&^
Sunday night.
In the Salvation Army and
the . Church of the Nazarene
which have two services, the
evening congregations also were
reported as larger than usual, in-dicating
that there are people
who- cannot get out to a morn-ing
service but would go at
night if they had the opportun-ity.
Pastors have been supplied
with lists of prospective mem-bers
as a result of information
gained by the invitors and these
will be followed up. Consequent-ly
the clergymen feel that the
final results of the all-out-to-church
movement will not be
known for some time. Gustav J.
Berkel headed the laymen's com-mittee
with Mrs. William J.
Martin as co-chairman.

Debate oa Sewer District Status
Concluded Without a Decision
It Is Agreed, However, County
Could Rescind Freeport Pact
The debate over the question
"Resolved that Freeport should
be in an independent instead of
a separate sewer district" seems
to have ended without a deci-sion.
Six months ago Joseph H.
Pearce and George E. Van-
Nostrand started the argument
by recalling that in 1938 a bill
was introduced in Albany giving
the village an independent status,
separate from the Nassau Coun-ty,
but allowed to die in com-mttce.
Mr. Pearce .contending
that under the present set-up
•Preeport- doesn't—even—own^-its
sewer system, Urged ""that the
legislation be rcintroduccd and
pressed for passage.
Back in early 193?, when the
Nassau County Department of
Sanitation; laid out a county-sewer
system, it was dis-covered
Frceport was included
in District 4, which took in
Roosevelt, Merrick, Bellmore and
additional areas, and faced the
prospect of paying 58 percent
of the cost of building trunk
lines, disposal plants and other
structures for the undeveloped
areas of the district.
"This brAught consternation
among taxpayers and a fight
was started to remedy the situa-tion.
J. Russcl Spraguc, then
chairman of the Board of Super-visors,
was among the speakers
at a mahs meetingr^which—resu4t-ed"""

county board on Oct: 25, 1937,

4A and exempting the taxpay-

president of the Freeport Inter-
Faith Council. Music was pro-vided
by the high school band,

Armistice Day is being obser-ved
solemnly in Freeport to-day.
William Clinton Story Post, A.

the Municipal Building this mor-ning.
The address was delivered
by the Rev. E. A. Pollard Jones,
pastor of the Freeport Method-ist
Church.
Dn Jones declared "We must
.set ouracly.esJ.to—the—complete...
overthrow of the Nazis and the
Japs." "If these world gangsters
should win," he continued, "free-dom
and human development
probably would be set back for
a thousand years. But while we
march forward toward victory,.,
%e must even now lay our plans
for a victory that will last,
"We need to consider peace-
