Cited by Gibney
Following an extended discus-sion
as to the advlsaoility of se-lecting
a site for a building to re-place
the 43-year"Old Seaman av-emte
oohool at a meeting spon-gored
by the Parent-Teacher As-sociation
in 'the school Tuesday
night, those present indicated by
& show of hands an almost unani-mous
conviction that the matter
should-be submitted to the—%ax^
payers of the village In the spring.
This was done after Leo F. Glb^
lyn, president of the Board of Ed-ucation,
had explained that if this
was done the district would stand
an excellent chance of getting a
grant equal to 45 per cent of the
@o# OL.Mie. structure, .fmm the
State through the Public Works
Reserve after the war.
Miss Cornelius VanRees opened
the meeting. She outlined the
history of the movement to at-tempt

Full stop signs are to be re-moved

Police—Chief: \Peter. Elar advised
the Village Board at its meeting
Monday night. The matter was
referred to him after tho receipt
of a letter from the Northeast
Civic Association suggesting that
a survey be made to determine
whether in view of the gasoline
shortage and reduced traffic tht?
police might relax their enforce-ment
of the recognition of stop
signs.

The speaker, who was Introduc-ed
by President Robert E. Pat-terson,
also answered the con-tention
that the same results
could be accomplished If the gov-ernment
reduced the volume of
an A coupon to two gallons or
even one gallon of gasoline. He
said this had been tried and not
proven a success! as it did not
prevent people obtaining gas in
the black market. By banning
the use of cars for pleasure driv-ing,

Nine Tons of Cons
Collected on Sundoy
Freeport's first tin can collec-tion
netted more than nine tone
of salvage, Willis M. Summers,
the permanent salvage committee
salvage chairman, announced.
The collection was taken Sun-day
by employes of the Depart*
ment of Sanitation assisted by
volunteers. The material gather-ed
is to be taken to CarLeret, N.J..
to be detinned at a smelting
plant there.
Mr. Summers urged all Freeport
residents to continue to save and
process their tin cans so as to
have an even greater quantity to
dispose of when the second col-lection
is taken on Sunday, March
7. According to present plans tin
collections are to be made the
nrst Sunday of each month. )

In November 1941, he added, the
State Department of Education
j&sked for a list of Thool projects
that should be furthered during
the next five years. He said that
the Board immediately forward-ed
the plaJis for a proposed school
in the northwestern area, to take

structure. However, he continued,
these plans-could no^Jbe .consid-ered

He then mentioned 'two sites.
The State authorities' had reluct?

the Board to utilize the present
site of 14 acres if augmented by
the acquisition of another acre
extending through to Wallace st.
by acquiring eleven pieces of prop-erty.
This, he said, would involve
