Fo? Long Beach Ave.
A delegation of residents of
lower South Long Beach Ave.,
is planning to attend the meet-ing
of the Village Board on Fri-day
night, Jan. 21, to oppose
favorable action on the request
of Frank Willcts for a change
in the zoning of the area from
Residential A to Business B.
Joseph H. Gallo, to whom the
matter was referred with Cyril
C. Ryan at the previous meeting,
reported he had been advised
that property owners in the area
were circulating a petition, and
that they desired to have the
matter placed on the calendar
for the next meeting. This was
done.
The Board received a letter
from Miss Ysobcl Martin, of 800
South Long Beach Avc., pro-testing
against the proposed
change.

At the Freeport Child Care Center
One of the unusual eights
which have become common
place at the Frccport Child Care
Center, 268 West Merrick Road,
is that of fathers tucking their
children into their coats and leg-gings
as they finish the day at
the center.
Miss Gcraldinc Setdl, the di
rector, explained that the men
of the family have more regu-lar
hours than the women, with
the result that they are enabled
to leave and call for their chil-dren,
"To many of the fathers help-ing
their children into their
street clothes at first seemed to
be a new experience/' she said.
"But now they arc getting the
knack of it and are doing very
well. This war certainly has im-posed
new duties on many peo-ple.
So while the women have
been called on to work in war
plants, it is Rerhaps a little thing
to ask a father to see that his
son or daughter is comfortably
clad as he takes the child home
after a day of enjoyment at the
center."
Miss Scidl said there still was
room to accommodate children
in the three departments of the
center, the nursery, the kinder-garten
and the school age
group. She added that addition-al
volunteers were needed to as-sist
in carrying on the work.
The telephone number is Free-port
2766.
Attendance at the center is
not limited to children of mo-thers
.working in defense plants
but is open to those engaged in
any line of business taking them
away from their homes during
(Tie day.
The resingation of Mrs. Lo-retta
Clark, clerk In .the acces-sor's
ofRce, due to illness, was
accepted.
Kdmund McKeeman advised
the Board that Joseph Lattmann,
had entered the Navy, and John
Capazzolli, the Army. He also
reported that three other em-ployees
were to report for phy-sical
examinations yesterday.
An appropriation of $100 was
voted to pay the expenses of the
Frccport Bond and Stamp Staff
during the forthcoming Fourth
War Loan drive.
Village Haa $421,249
In Two Local Banks
Trustee Horace F. Carpenter
reported to the.VUla^e.Spard at
its meeting Friday night that
the village had $421,243.50 on
deposits in the two local banks.
Police Justice Hilbert R. John"
son advised the board that fines
collected in the local court "dur*
ing December totaled $195.
The report of Wallace T.
Wells, superintendent of build*
ings, showed 29 permits for
building or alterations issued dur*
ing the past month and 203 in-spections
made.

Add 1944 Number
To Gasoline Coupons
Augustus B. Wcllcr, Nassau
County O.P.A. Administrator an-nounced
to-day that automobile
owners who have written their
1943 license numbers on their
A, B, C and T gasoline ration
coupons, need not worry. All
they have to do is, if they have
a different number" in 1944, is to
write their new number
and ink, indelible pencil „,_
writer, on the coupons, without
obliterating the old number.
The reason for leaving the old
number is for the convenience of
men at service stations who arc
expected and required under the
regulations to examine the mo-torists'
ration books before put-ting
gasoline in the car's tank.
