on North Main st. He referred to
Parking Field 1, south of Merrick
rd., part of which is In use, and
Field 2, north of Merrick rd., which
he said would be opened as soon
as several complications could be
cleared up.
•Mayor Cyril" c. Kyan, who cut a
silver colored rope, held by Horace
E. DeLisser, vice-president of the
Chamber, and Sidney Abelson, said
he believed the opening 6f the field
was a great thing for Freeport. He
promised other fields would be
rushed to completion and that still
others would be established along
the waterfront. He called the
Henry str. field the springboard
from which others would be devel-oped:'"
The Mayor declared no complica-tions
would be permitted to '"hold
us back" and "asked for the co-operation
of the people of the vil-lage
in promoting its welfare. He'
also thanked Joseph Harris, Frank
and Harry Gehring for their assist-ance
in making the Henry st. field
possible.
William J. .Martin, chairman of
the Civic Affairs Committee of the
Chamber, said he was proud of the
Village of Freeport and told of
how he had seen it progress. He
expressed the hope the field that
was being opened would some day
be the site of a large department
store, adding that Mr. Harris had
purchased land to the east that
could be taken for parking pur-poses
if such a store was estab—
lished here. Mr. Martin spoke oi
the rvatural advantages Freeport
has of becoming a great village

OOp. The extra $50,000
IN" the moment is here
for all weekly newspapers in the United
' Mates to do something: beyond reporting:
• "news," important though that may be. The
task of local editors—so it seems to us—to use
simple, straightforward reasoning, so that
public opinion, as far as we can influence it,
may be founded on clear thinking and not
m>on passion or bias.
During the past three weeks the outstand-ing
national fact is that one man, as the
leader of others, has shown indifference to a
contract with -the United States and advised
his followers to do the same. He has thus1
endangered the welfare of every human being
who is affected, directly and indirectly here
and abroad, by the simple use of our coal.
Four times in our wonderful past, chosen
men have guided us and shown the way to
national harmony in internal a flairs :-
1) In the Declaration of Independence tho
Signers used these words:- "With a firm re-liance
on the protection of Divine Providence
WE MUTUALLY PLEDGE to each other our
lives, our fortunes and OUR SACRED
HONOR." Hence such personal sufferings as
at Valley Forge—hunger, cold and pain-—were
borne that we might inherit what we now
are able to enjoy.
2) In 1787 {confirmed by States by 1789)
words used in the Constitution should be rc-membirerl
bv every citizen:- "To form a more
perrect union; to establish justice, and to
insure DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY and>s"r"re
1JHUK KLfcSMNGS OF UtSJUKTV TO OUtt-
SELVES AND OUR POSTERITY." We, the
living, are the posterity of those vanquished
leaders,
3) In the Bill of Rights-^in force by De-cember
17&1—was the right "TO ASSEMBLE
AND TO PETITION the Government for a
redress of rffTievanccs'* ;:bnt ,no right-to :threatr-n
the government or defy it Our rights under
'par >:>vaiue/ ^wlU" go , Into the
bank's capital ^tructuie." /
The Bank has outstanding $100.-
000 pcrferred stock, retirable at
$200,000 held by the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, in the form
of 20,000 shares of preferred stock
of a par value of $6 per share,
redeemable at $10 per share. On
the eale of $150.000 new capital
the bank will retire $25,000 of the
preferred ^stock for $50,000, reduc-ing
the outstanding total of the
itttt&v.to $75,000, retirable at $150,-
000.
In 1934 the year of the reshap-ing
ot its capital set-up, the bank's
deposits were approximately $2.200,-
. <K>p.', Today they exceed $8v50Q>000,
yet the bank is operating with the
same capital as in 1934; As of
June 29, last, assets totaled $8,725,-
^-384^51 and none was doubtful, ac-cording
to- Cashier W. Sergeant

these ten amendments have been often shown
forth; and specifically, in the past three weeks,
when the breaker of a Federal contract has
had an orderly trial, in a land of liberty—an
amazing xtemonsiraliou ot national sell-con-trol.
4) Under Lincbln and his supporters, the
need to save the nation (its powers and its
personal contract with every citizen, rich or
poor) was set before the nation as an obliga-tion
above all human obligations. IT SUR-VIVED,
at a cost of thousands of lives
through enormous suffering.
A fifth moment has come, for all our chosen
leaders in public places, to guide us again into
DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY through legal
steps that shall make it clear that no one
person (nor a million) can defy the govern-tmcht
of OUR OWN choosing, in mines, fac-tories,
farms, offices and homes. If one or a
million can break a contract with the govern-ment
and succeed in1 their defiance, then 170
yars of our national life have only produced
anarchy (the overthrow of all law), and the
winds of misfortune shall blow away our
original purposes like chaff.
The issue of the moment Is not as to
whether one form of work is more or less
burdensome than another; nor is it one of
equitable wages; but whether the binding1 foree -
of human beings in a nation (their mutual
agreements, their 'promises, their contracts)
shall be respected. If one cell in our body
politic can be greater than the body that gave
It life and power and meaning and safety in
court, then our universal rights will ultimately
perish.
In this humble expression of opinion we arc
truly American; hence we urge our readers to
express such'-opinions to their neighbors AND
XO THOSE WHO AT TKK.-.JERESEN^ MOMENT*WRAD 'tis IN tVASHntfGTpN.
