Augustus R. Well, Nassau County
Rationing Administrator, was one
of six county workers "loaned" to
the rationing board last August to
assist In clearlcal work. This work
consisted of tailoring C books, so a
sufficient number of coupons would
be left to meet the allotments of
the motorists to whom the book;
were assigned.
The coupons taken from thf
becks were supposed to be turned
over to a member of the rationing
board to be burned. It is alleged

Not Avoiloble Now
The Village Board, at its meeting
Monday night, received a letter
from the Public Service Commis-sion
containing later information
regarding its request that addi-tional
safety devices be Installed for
the protection of motorists using
Brookslde avenue to get across the
Long Island Railroad tracks.
"The company has advised the
commission," the letter read, "that
it does not believe that additional
protection Is required at this time
because of the relatively light traf-fic
on the highway, which, because
of the gasoline and tire rationing
will become less and; less, and that,
furthermore, gashing light signals
are not now permitted to be manu-factured
or installed under the or-der
of Khe W. P. B.
''It would appear that automatic
Hashing light signals would be the
proper protection of this crossing
but at the present -time and per%
haps for the duration of the war.
It will be impossible to get permis-sion
from the W. P. B. to use the

'Meatless' Tuesday
Observance Urged
Miss Dorothy Ml
Most of the restaurants In Free-i/
ori, are still keeping faith with
their pledge to refrain from serving
meat with their meals on Tuesdays.
However, one or two are reported
to have "fallen from grace" and
placed several meats on their
Tuesday menus.
At the high school the cafeteria
has gone the other eating places
one better, as no meats are served
either Tuesday or Friday.
Those who are keeping their word
to observe meatless Tuesdays Is-sued
an appeal this week for all to
follow their example. T3iey point
out that shortly the probabilities are
that "meatless" days -will become
compulsory unless all act volun-tarily.

Restore Old Hours
At Loco I Post Office
On advioe from Washington the
hours during which the Frcepor
post office is open have been re-stored
to those that prevailed be-fore
the first of the year.
When all Federal employes w?
placed oh a 48-hour working week
as of Jan. 1. Postmaster Edward
A. Rice ordered the post ofTl
kept open Saturdays until 6 p.m..
the same as all other days, and
sent the letter carriers out on a
lound of their routes Saturday
afternoon.
Recently, however, more spe-cific
instructions were received
from the Postmaster General.
They directed that there was to
be no extension of service under
the 48-hour week act. Conse-quently
the post office will be open
Saturdays from 7 a. m. to 1 p. m.,
as In the past, and there will be
Arm of Glbb and Hill, Inc., .to
conduct a survey into the effect
a shut down would have on the
plant and the ability of the
lighting company to provide an
uninterrupted current.
A preliminary report was hand-ed
down early this week, in
Which the engineers asserted tnat
the two municipal plants must
be kept in operation on full
loads for at/least? a couple hours
each day. Otherwise, tiiey con-fended,
the plants' wouM not be
in condition to serve the area
in case l.hp L. I. Lighting Co.,
power failed.
Another assertion was that the
water cooling system in the
plants must be prevented from
freezing.
