Members of all congregations in
Freeport joined the throng of 310
who gathered, in the" First Baptist
Church Sunday night to..hear a
- eermon on "Faith" by the -Rev
Dr. Daniel A. Poling. It was the
largest congregation ever assem
bled in the edifice.'
? Dr. Poling toobf as his text"
,_i"Now faith is the substance of
^ things hoped for, the evidence of
^ tiling? not seen/* words from the
^. first verse of the eleventh
tor of the eplstle__ts_J|be.,
Referring" Eo the. unusual
-Ms "'audience, he sa*d "we are
?" Catholics, Jews—and Trotestants
'/ but Americans all." He said though
ZWdK" appreciated the"other "their
1 loyalties could not all be the same.
The great credo, he asserted is
• that of Peter who said, "Thou art
the Christ, the son of the Living
God."
Coming of peace, Dr. Poling con-tinued,
has shown it is easier to
^(Ue .together..than, .to.live,.together.
But He ]^yfc%3" ^Rl51 Kn^s^iTFS*
peoples of the world "learn to
live together we shall not have,
won the .peace." He pointed out
tliat faith is not only a^ matter of
AMgion, but something re^uirpd In
everything one does, and therefore
the most practical thing in the'
world. He said a man would not
leave his home In the morning
unless he had faith in ^imself.
He called for faith id youth, and
referring to juvenile delinquency,
declared his Jlrst .concern was
about adult delinquency, as older.
lolk^iave set the example for the
younger generation.
As h&s formula for Increasing
faith, Dr. Poling said he Jiad de-cfdebl
the, best thing is, to "doubt
your, - doubts first" instead , of
doubting one's beliefs. "Each dawn
aa I awake," hq continued, "I say
myself: 'I believe." It does some-for
me. It has a positive
Instead of a negative reaction and
increases my faith' inT^God."
In concluding Dr. Poling gave
the four dimensions of faith as
follows: Faith must be a comfort
or comforting, must be reasonable',-
must be adventurous and must be
stubborn.
Prior to the evening service, Dr.
Poling, the members of the
Boards of Deacons add Trustees
and their wives were guests at a
supper. Miss Margaret Kranz gave

Dory Bedell Grows Reminiscent i
A: He Installs G.O.P. Glub Officers
Reminiscing on»carly Freeport in his talk after he had installed
the o&uers of the Freeport Kepuhlioan Cluh Thursday night in
Spartan Temple, Comptroller Theodore Bedell recalled how Lillian
Russell was onoo caught in
speed trap while driving through
the village.
"Dory", as he is affectionately
known, recalled that at the time
Freeport had a population of 3,-
000 and boys used to play ball in
areas that are now built up.
'The' automobile had just made
its advent and the speed limit was
eight miles an hour. The trap was
sejt on Merrick rd., between Long
Beach ave., and Grove st. A man
with a flag would stand at the
former street and if a driver was
'Of
timer at Grove
St., would start his stop watch.
There also* was a moving van
drawn by a team of horses at
Grove st,, and as the car approach-ed
it would go into action block-ing
the street. Miss Russell hap-pened
to be the victim on one
occasion.
The comptroller traced the de-velopment
of Nassau County from
87,000 in 1910, when the rapid
growth set in, reaching 126,000 in
1920, until today, the number of

the National Committee for Edu-cation
on Alcoholism, by Mrs,
Marty Mann, the executive direc-tor.
The committee is sponsored
by Yale University.
Mrs. Mann emphasized that the
organization should not be con-fused
with Alcoholics Anonymous
which treats Individual cases.
The National Committee for
Education on Alcoholism is mere-ly
trying to disseminate the facts
about alcohol. "We are trying to
bring it out of the dark closet,
where it has remained too long,"
Mrs. Mann continued. 'We 'can't
solve o, problem by hiding it," she
added. ; ^
There are 750,000 known alco-holics
in the United States today,
and an estimated over-all total .of
3,000,000, according to speaker. By
comparison, she . asserted there
are only 500,000 known cases .of
tuberculosis. Because tne . :w,ozld
continues to keep the subject i@f
alcoholism from the public ^
:where it rightfully belongs, she
said, J2,000-persons die. annually^
JMtrs7Mahh added that after ev-ery

af5er=thi&«aohe. The men -who do
^become 'addicted to drink or who
are ^already confirmed alcoholics
should ibe treated like any other
sick person, she <wamed.
There are four recognized meth.-
ods of curing, an alcoholic, the
speaker explained. They are: 1)
psychiatry,
conditioned
2) re-education, 3)
reflex treatment, 4)
Alcoholics Anonymous, inc.
The, N. C. E. A., stands ready
to assist any community in organ-izing
methods to solve the prob-lem
of alcoholism, Mrs. Mann said.
The committee gives lectures, as-sists
in organizing local commit-tees,
provides literature and will
train personnel for any campaign
that might be initiated.
Mapor Cyril .Q. Ryan introduced
the speaker. Before the ^Address,
