Season for Midgets
Start Tomorrow
After two successive postpone-ments
Promoter Jake Kedenburg'
will open the midget auto races
tomorrow night. Ten cars will be
ready to take Starter Joe Keller's
green flag and the season's ac-tivity
will be under way. "
Harold Biokelhaupt, better known
as "Pickles" to his race fans, is
back on Long Island' after a stay
in^ Florida and: is grooming himself
for the opening show. Another
Floridlan, ""Jimmy -Taylor is on
hand to drive a fast Ford V-8 in
the opening show.
Andy Devercelly's driving school
will resume wiUnri the next week
with classes -at -.the Stadium.
We speak of our local .hospital
a sanitarium, for it was incorpo-rated
under such a title. The
Leader is confident that our rea,d-
•ers will be interested in the facts
involved in the gradual growth of
our well-equipped hospital, well
equipped for general patronage by
cur public, and for use -by the phy-sicians
and surgeons of Freeport
and vicinity.
It began as far -back as 1922,
with Mrs. Caroline Watson as the
pioneer. Just prior to that date
she, though living here, had helped
the Hempstead Hospital • through
the ^flu" epidemic. That being over
she "gave ihucft. thought to the need
here of an efficient Lying-in "Asy-lum,"
as the' permit describes it.
By 1923. the State Board of Health,
officially represented here by Dr.
Robert H. Runcje. granted ttie re-quest
of Mrs. Watson.
The wording of the .permit is
Interesting as showing the watch-fulness
of the Board. We quote in
part: "Provided that each patient
shall have a separate bed, and be
located in a room having at least
une outside window and that the
beds shall be separated by spaces
three, feet in width and shall be
so "arranged that under each of
them the air shall freely circulate;
that there shall be adequate ven-tilation
and for each bed or occu-pant
there shall be at least 800
cubic feet of air space."., ._
Those definite provisions of the
permit and everything else neces-sary
were complied with by Mrs.
Watson, first at 63 Pearsall ave.,
and then a year or so later at 131
Green ave. Then by reason of!
tmwj wuuiu we a Free^p orts rapid growth arose the npnotnint.tcs «to.„ p„i!c„k•, u„p „ »..v, *,«* «*.v* M»n.^

the driver would be required to re-main
in the car wlhlle someone else
did the shopping.
For those who desire to spend
longer periods to do their shop-ping,
he proposes that a stand -be
established on each- side of Main
St., to which a car would be driven.
Uniformed and accredited attend-ants
would be stationed at these
car and take
more fully equipped services.
On October 31, 1925, she received
a notice from the late Howard E.
Pearsall, then the Village Clerk,
granting her the right to open "a
private hospital or. sanitarium" att
210 South Ocean ave. This was in
the "villa" zone of the village and
therefore no sign was permitted.
The imposing and spacious frame
residence then standing- there will
be- well remem'tier'ed. It has since
been razed.
Mrs. Watson is reported to have
fitted it out without regard to ini-tial
expense. After operating lor
some years with well trained assist-ants
she was obliged to cease all
heavy work because of a heart
Space would be provided Jn one or
more stores to which the car keys
would be taken for safe keeping,
until the owner desired to cbtain
the car, when an attendant would
go to the parking lott pick up the
machine and drive It back to Main
st.
Details for handling the plan
would have to "Se" worked out be-tween
Mr. Wallace and the mer-chants.
One idea is for the mer-chants
to distribute advertising
cards offering to provide the park-ing
service free of charge to per-sons
making purchases of $1 or
more, while others might be charged
a small fee tfor the service.
Mr. Wallace believes that adop-tion
of the plan would benefit bu-
Jn every way
the X-rays would
be brought home to the residents
of the community.
Milton Danziger is in charge In
the business area.
It was pointed out there would
be no charge for the X-rays and
-that it would not be necessary to
disrobe to have them taken. The
clinics are sponsored by the Nas-sau
County Tuberculosis and Pub-lic
Health Association.
