Who-Can Recall Early
Gp-ers-yoif-Pfgose Race?
Away back in the early BQ's,
or'perhaps even before that;, a
; "go - as - you - please" foot- race
wns held in Freeport. It was
. an all day affair. E. V. Baldwin,
35 Holly ave., Mlneola, remem-bers
having, witnessed the race
with an older brother and a
neighbor.
It was on a hot day, he
thinks in August, but he has
r_ forgotten the other details.
'Perhaps some early Preeporter
can recall the exact date, fc>r
Mr. Baldwin, who desires the
information for a story he has
in mind.
If there is such a person we
would appreciate It If he would
write to The Leader, P. O.
Box 285, Preeport, N. Y., so we
can relay the information to
Mr. Baldwin.
According to Mr, Baldwin the
race, was the first of its kind
to be held here, though others
werq. conducted later in Hemp-stead.

docjced in Woodcleft Canal, started

We the undersigned respectfully
petition the Village Board to have
enforced the Village ordinance with
regard to the speeding of boats in
the Village waterways.
"The. speeding by thoughtless
boat operators in our canals is a
serious menance to life and prop-erty.
Considerable damage has been
done tcr other boats berthed at
their docks and the practice will
continue to constitute a peril to
persons ~. aboard when a boat Is"
suddenly rocked by* some careless
speeder^.-backwash. -] • _^
"TheTreats docked .in,—Freeport
waters today represent an invest-ment
of millions of dollars and
should be entitled to some* protec-tion
from the Village. We would
suggest that the Village acquire a
suitable patrol boat so that, the
ordinances governing our Municipal
waterways may be properly, and
strictly enforced."

pointed by Gov. Thomas E, Dewey
to conduct an inquiry into all the
circumstances surrounding the fatal
shooting of Charles and Alphonce
Ferguson, Roosevelt Negroes, by——
Patrolman Joseph Roraeika early-in
February.
District Attorney James N.
Gehrig, at whose request ,Mr. ~.
Greenbaum, chairman of Uie Board
of Social Welfare of the State ot
New York was named, said he
could not predict the method the
governor's appointee would pursue
in the course of his inquiry.
Village Counsel Martin H. Wey-rauch
expressed the opinion Mr.
Greenbaum was mainly interested
in the proceedings of the Grand
Jury which refused to Indict
Patrolman Romeika, and the vil-lage
would play but a small part
in the inquiry which it is expected
will be conducted In Mineola. ':
