of%worship on Friday night, Oct.
29 or Sunday, Oct. 31, gave in-teresting

the cordial relations exist-ing
among all the congregations
in the village.

pastor of Christ Lutheran Church
and president of the Inter-Faith
Clergy Council, presided. Gustav

a phrase coined by Alfred Ad*
ler, he said they had the "Cour-age
of Imperfection," to under-take
such a task*, The Rev.

Holy Redeemer Church referred
to the two assemblies in the
Freeport High School at which
Rabbi B. Leon Hurwitz, of
Temple Israel spoke-and the oth-er
clergymen attended; He said
the students were impressed, and
suggested* it would be a good
idea to call on several hundred

be in Freeport because of "this
work."

An automobile thief led Patrol*
man Claude Raynor a merry
chase Friday night through the
south side of the village, and es-caped
into the bushes after leap-
Ing from the moving car.
Jacob Post reported to the po-lice
at 9 o'clock his car had been
taken from his garage a$ 136
North Ocean ave., some time af?
ter 7:30r Patrolman Raynor waa
cruising south on South Ocean
ave., about 10:30 "when he spot-ted
the stolen car as he neared
Smith st. The driver realizing he
had been spotted as Raynor
sounded .his siren sped up, turn-ed.
mto &mith sj., .sqMh into Mil-ler
ave., east through Rose st,
nprth into Ocean avc., west a-galn{.
lnto Smith, south once more
into Miller.
Thio" time, , however, he kep
straight down Miller ave.,
htTneared Atlantic where there is
an "S" turn. Instead of taking
the turn, however, the fleeing
driver cut over the east curb and
through a' lot directly south into
Miller again. Raynor had just
about caught up with the ma-chine
before this maneuvre. In-stead
of following the car across
lots, he lost time as he made the
"S" turn.
Raynor was rapidly catching
up again as the two machines ap-proached
Front st. Just before
getting there, however, the driv-er
of the first car opened the
left hand door, jumped out and
ran into the brush, as the ma-chine
came to a .stop on a lot
100 feet farther south. The fugi-tive
disappeared. Patrolman Ray-nor
ruefully reported the recov-ery
of the car, but asserted he
was chagrined at losing the thief
in the chase.
