Join Chamber
Elar Is Commended
Cord Viebrock, president of thn
3Preeport Chamber of Commerce,
''ul$]CJutUned some of the aims of the
:J-Organization
at a meeting of the
Civic Association Mon-night
in Hose 4's firehouse
said the Chamber r&d bee>i
for iomeUme, but efforts
made to ivvive it and
activities.
hip, he added, should
not be confined either to indu-trv,
businessi real estate, or professional
but open to all residents of Free-port
Interested in the welfare oi
the village. "We must get the-brains
ot the community behind
us," he asserted.
Mr. Viebrock expressed the
opinion the Chamber should be the
clearing house for civic activities
and not the dictator. "All ic'ens
and proposals coming up befoi e
our Village Board, . hould be con-sidered
by the Chamber of Com-merce,"
he continued.
He explained the plan to invilo
service, groups to Join as a unit,
each to be represented by a mem-ber
of the Board of Directors, and
Invited the club to be represented
at the dinner to be given In the
Elks clubhouse Monday night.
President George G. Jaeger Intro-duced
the speaker.
Benjamin H. Heim, chairman ot
the safety committee, reported
accidents in Freeport had been in-crea^
ing year by year and on his
motion it was voted to commend
Police'"Chief Elar for hi? suggestion
to the Village Board that it create
a Safety Council.
A proposal to amend the by-laws
to provide a new set-up for the
election of officers was referred
back to the committee that has
been considering the matter.
It was voted to express confl-
1 dence 'in the action of the teachers
and educational, authorities of the
state who are urging an Increase
of $100,000,000 in state aid for
schools and a substantial increase
in salaries. The action of the
Baldwin Board of Education
recommending the purchase of a
34 acres of the former Milburn
golf grounds as the site for future
high and elementary schools and
a playground was: endorsed. Resi-dents
of the Northwest section
which is la-toe Baldwin district
will be eligible to vote on Wednes-day,
March 5, on. a proposal to
acquire the property at a cost not
exceeding $790,000.
'•A proposal by Mr. Heim that the
Village Board tie asked to reduce
the salary of the village judge from
$4,000 to $2,000 a year was referred
to committee.
THE FUTURITY STAKES of Freeport rest:—
(1) On the influence of mothers and
fathers upon their growing children in this
cordial, semi-rural, semi-urban and semi-marine
village; and1
(2) Also upon the local goodwill of those who
sleep here but do not earn their living here.
Freeport is blest with an unusual advertising
force—unorganized, unpaid, and to some large ex-tent,
unusuad. The LEADER means that there
are thousands of places in the L*. S. that have no
such emissaries as we have available. Nearly 1,500
citizens go daily to the greatest population center
ot tne u.&.—ureater JNCW lorK. There tney
daily meet thousands; in a year hundreds of
thousands. As Freeport is good enough for them
to live in, it is good enough to praise to others.
Only thus can we explain the expansion of. triP£ *® the spring (if any) and poison-bearing
Freeport from a very important, but small, fish- outhouses.
wells and up went a 1,000,000-galIon tank, for
pressure distribution, and now if necessity arose,
Freeport could pump 10,000,000 gallons a day. In
the winter Freeport gets and uses at the cost of
delivery, 2,000,000 gallons a day (How marvclous-ly
clean wte all must be) and in the summer as
much as 4,000.000 gallons a day. No wonder our
envoys extraordinary talk water.
(C) Freeport owns and operates for the benc-flt
of all of us a sanitary plant for domestic
wastes. (Isn't that a nice way to speak of sew-age
disposal), that is recognized as a model by
the Federal Government, States and Communities
from coast to coast.
Without all these our living conditions would
seem almost unendurable—lamps, or candles or
even gas light, pumping from individual wells or
ing: area, into a flourishing: residential village of
25,000 population, with metropolitan airs In store
fronts, municipal facilities, moral and religious
forces and social activities constant "M^d varied.
It is now a fishing: area plus a pleasure resort
in the summer (true we are denied skiing in the
winter, but we cannot have everything) , plus a
hometown to a remarkably well educated citizenry.
Here are same of the things our plenipoten-tiaries,
our ambassadors, talk about when they are
away from here:
A — Freriport owns its own light and power
plant — the largest municipally operated Diesel
engine operated plant in the world — and receives
current at bargain rates. A citizen complained
recently that her electric bill approached $6 for
a month. The LEADKR dHew out by questioning
that her electric refrigerator held on an average
of $70 in perishables monthly; that the wash of
a large family was done below stairs by an electric
washer; that ironing was electric (no longer a hot
iron to be tested by spitting) ; that the morning
toaster was electric; that lights were blazing all
over the house during the holidays, sometimes till
3 A.M.; that an electric vacuum cleaner "was "used ;
that the garage was electrically lighted.
B — Freeport owns Its own water works--and
makes no charge for the water, brf. only \ for.
cost of delivery. - Fifty- yeaire
wells and 55,000 gallons a, day (Note the figures
well!). Thirty years later four 500-foot wells were
driven and Freenort had a capacity of 600,000
gallons a dav (Note the figures well!). Elrht
years later (1937) down went two more and deeper
After we natch our breath l*-t us for the henr-nt
oi ail our population—young and old—run
ahead with other things that our advertising force
talks about in the big city.
D—Freeport is landlocked from the occasional
boisterosity (that's rough) of the Atlantic, yet the
salty deeps are easily reached by our channels,
and the lure of the bay is ours to yield to in a
few minutes.
E—Unique canalized waterways open the way
for water-front residences. In this Freeport in
New York Is like Fort Lauderdale in Florida.
F—The friendliness of all churche bodies is
genuine; and the head of our Inter-Faith Clergy
Council is highly respected for his church activi-ties.
G—Our schools are training our youth well
and prripaiing them to inherit what their parents
have achieved.
II—Our social groups are varied and friendly
to Ihe newcomer.
So here we come to business! Our business
forces, alert tor all that affects living in Freeport

who read them.

We feel The LEADER since its
reorganization in September ha.
become the best wekly paper in
Nassau County. If you don't be-lieve
us; just visit some of Uu
nearby villages, pick, up then-weeklies
and we are sure you'll
agree with~us. Yet if you lived in
any of these villages you'd havj
to subscribe or you wouldn't get a
paper.
The first advantage afforded by
The LEADER is that it publishes
all and only Freeport news, so you
don't have to look through a maze
of items in which you are not in-terested
to cull out what you are
after.
The LEADER Is the only new. -
paper that publishes the official
news of the village. These notices
should be read by all citizens in-terested
in the, activities of the
Village Board.
More and more the merchants of
Freeport are realizing that The
LEADER readers also read the
advertLments. This is demonstrat-ed
by the re-alts produced by ad-vertising
in The LEADER. Con-sequently
more merchants are ad-vertising
(some exclusively) in The
LEADER. As Frt&porters should
shop In Freeport, they should keen
informed of what Freeport mer-chanto
have to offer through Tin.
LEADER.
New features are being added a
the growth of The LEADER per-mits.
"Date Briefs as a Gateway to
Knowledge" is a unique and in-
.erestine feature designed to stitnu-ale
a desire to follow up the seven
terns each week, through' readin«
books li.tcd by the library, and
the encyclopedia concerning them.
The front-page editorials also are
a unique feature for a weekly and
are attracting attention not onlj
here but alsewhere. It Is planned
to devote most of these in tho
future for a time to subjects deal-ing
with Freeport projects .and
facilities.
With-thte. issue, we inaugurate a
jarden column prepared by Mrs
Uhailcs C. Whitlock, president ot
the Free-port Garden Club, p.n
authority on hor'ticujture. The ac-companying
advertlsmeiits will keej,
you informed of where you car.
purchase seeds, plants, shrubbery,
and all other garden es.entials.
We also are introducing twc
comics, which were Selected onl.v
after prolonged study, because we
wanted them to be really good.
As sonn as the fishing season
gets under way we'll _tan, an ap-propriate
column.
And there is a "hot" village elec-tion
compaign coming up concern-ing
which you'll want to be kep..

.„, The LEADER learned from one
man who had been approached^ to
become a candidate for trustee,
that the approach was made by
a reside.!t of the NorUieast who
said he lepresented interest? Hy-in
his own area, tihe Atlantic-
South und the Southwest. The
uggesilon that the person in que$-
lon become a candidate was re-jected.
Others, too, are known to havo
been suggested as candidates, but
the approaches were from different
sources. The appeal In several
ca^es was based on the fact the
Mayor and three triutees reside
north of the railroad tracks while
only Trustee Wood lives in the
southern part of the village.
At the December meeting of the
Home Rule party 639 new jnembers
were accepted. There were rumors
one group had been especially ac-tive
in this recruiting drive, and
expected to have enough supporters
at the convention to name any
candidates for office they proposed.
However, others have-asserted many
of the new members -w.ere solicited
by persons loyal to trie -jjowets~
that be. Consequently there will
have to be a showdown next Tues-day
night, that will set the stags
for the campaign that U to follow.
