Northeast Civics
Writes Truman
Urging Tax Cut
Disapproves Plan
For Shrubs on Mall;
To Dine on Dec. 4
The Northeast Civic Association
at its Monthly meeting in V. F. W
Hall. North Columbus ave., Friday
night, instructed its secretary, A
B. Mullet*, to write President Harry
S. Truman the association was in
favor of a reduction in Federal
taxes and a retrenchment in gov-ernment
spending.'
This action was taken on recom-mendation
of the Board of Gover-nors.
Copies of the letter are to
be sent to Congressman Harold
Knudson. chairman of the House
Ways and Means Committee, and
Representative Leonard W. Hall.
The association, also on recom-mendation
of the board, instructed
Secretary Muller to write the Vil-r
lage Board urging that the Village
Counsel be assigned to represent
the community at the Long Island
Rail Road fare hearings and also
hearings on the application of the
Nassau & Suffolk Lighting Co. for
an increase in gas rates.
An appeal also was made to the
Village Board to see that the foot-
. ball practice field south of the
Stadium and the Stadium itself be
made safe for the protection or the
t.•,•/;; .txtgh school students 'using them
tor practice. Complaint was made
of" ffi'e stones In the top soil laid
on the practice field and of the
lack of grass on the football field.
The association went on record
as being opposed to the proposal
to plant shrubbery in the mall in
the center of Sunrise Highway.
Members contended shrubbery would
create a hazard to the safety of
persons crossing the highway and
an expense to''the Village which
would have to maintain the malls
after planting was done by the
state.
Charles Blewett reported on the
recent hearing by the Public Serv-ice..
Commission. o:v. the .application-of
the Long Island Rail Road for
an additional fare increase.
William H. Schneider, chairman
of the committee in charge, an-
1 nounced the annual dinner would
be held in Mike's Inn, 360 Atlantic
ave., on Thursday night, Dec. 4. It
will mark the 26th anniversary of
the association and will be in honor
of pt-ank Schmidt, who retired th"
first of the year, -after-serving two
years as president.
Motion pictures of the World's
Fair taken by Henry Bertsch were
shown. President George O. Schnei-der
presided.

'Never G/ve Up As Motto
Education Week Speaker Urges Greater
Discipline, Oral Reading and Gumption
''iNovcr give up in do'mjr anything \ou start.* If it is the last
tiling on tarlh do it." This was the motto proposed for hi^Ii
school students \i\ Miss Klorriu-e Hale, past president of the Na-tional
Education , Association and<5K"
editor of "The Grade Teacher" in
her address at the- community
National Education Week in the
Freeport High School auditorium
Thursday night.
;;fyly mother taught me it was an
unheard of thing to start a thing
and not see it through," she con-tinued.
And to illustrate the extent
to which her mother can led out
this principle, she told of how she
once signed up to be a waitress
a* a summer hotel for three
months without first obtainins her
mother's consent. She discovered
her error on reporting to the place
but received no sympathy from
her family and had to fulfill" her
contract.
Miss Hale called for greater dis-cipline
for young people, more em-phasis
on oral reading, spelling
and arithmetic to develop leader-ship
and personality and more
gumption, as against the superfic-ialities
and trivialities of the pres-ent.
Hits Lack of Hard Work
"T sincerely and heartily believe
he young people of today are just
as fine and good, and may be a
Htle better than we were in our
day." Miss Hale said, "especially
considering the challenge they
have to face." She said children of
oday should be prepared for a
setter life "than we ourselves have
had."
She disapproved of the sentl-

Postmaster Edward A. Rice Issues
Appeal for Early Vide Mailing
Postmaster Edward A. Rice today
requested local residents to plan
their Christinas shopping schedules
now to permit early mailing of
Christmas cards and gift packages,
thus avoiding last-minute crowds
at post-office windows.
To assure delivery before Christ-mas
day, the postmaster advised
that out-of-State mailings should
be made before Dec. 10. Christmas
greeting cards for local delivery
should be mailed by Dec. 15, he
said.
"On Christmas Eve. it is a great
satisfaction to be certain that your
Christmas cards and packages have
been delivered because they were
mailed early," he asserted. "When
you postpone mailing to the last
minute, you risk disappointing your
friends by having your messages
and gifts caught irr the rush and
perhaps pot delivered until after
Christmas."
He advised combining early mall-
Ing with use of "Do Not Open -Be-fore
Christmas" notes or stickers
on packages and envelopes.
The postmaster said he antici-pates
even heavier :mail loads this
Christmas than during the record-breaking
1946 holiday searon H*
added that local post-offices across
the nation already were preparing
for this- peak load by recruiting
extra mail clerks and carriers, col-lecting
and overhauling delivery
trucks, and oiling up the stamp-cancellation
machines.
The local post-office "has already
done a large part of Its own Christ-mas
shopping by. laying in supplies
of many thousands of dollars worth
of stamps," Mr. Rice announced..
Parcel post packages cannot be
accepted unless they are stoutly
wrapped, he said. "This means
heavy cord, sturdy outer paper, and
heavy cardboard Inside. Packages
must not exceed 70 pounds In
weight, and are limited in size to
100 inches in length and girth
combined. ,J
Christmas ca^ds can be handled
more readily If they are tied in
bundles, with all the envelopes
facing the same way and the
stamps in the same corner.- Pro-gressive
mailings over a period of
several days evens out the work at
the post-officer he added.

Board Provides
A New Area for
Manufacturing /
Takes in Property
Between Highway
And E. Merrick Rd.
To encourage the development of
an industrial area between East
Sunrise highway and East Merrick
rd.. the Village Board at its meet-ing
Thursday night voted to change
the zoning of several square blocks ,
from- apartment to manufacturing.
The section starts in the center
of Preeport Brook. 125 feet south
of Sunrise highway and parallel-ing
the highway extends cast
across Benson pi., and Columbus
ave.. to 125 feet west of Helen ave.,
then south parallel with Helen ave.,
across Alexander ave., to the pres-ent
manufacturing district north of
Merrick rd., then west to Preeport
Brook and north along a line in
the center of the brook to the
starting point.
A hearing on the proposed
amendment to the Zoning Ordin-ance
was held at a meeting on
Aug. 28, when no opposition to
the change was voiced. The amend-ment
will take affect as soon as
the proper notice has been pub-lished
in the official paper.
Mayor Cyril C. Ryan and the
other members of the Village ^oard
this week declared ,as-"unquaUfiedly
false," a report being circulated s
that^piroperty in the, vicinity- ot :
Ax^eV-aMd~iie<ieU' toM^l^'txi^taeK'^
rezoned to permit the erection of
apartment houses.
"The attitude of the -Board on
this point," the stau ment con-tinues,
"Is a matter of record easily
to be learned by anyone interested
in the truth. Several months ago
when the matter of r< zoning that
section was raised, the Board
unanimously rejected the' proposal
to permit apartment house build-ing.
The Board believes now, as
it believed then, that the integrity
of that section as a place solely
for private homes should be main-
Tain e d 7 I t s vote on the subject is
recorded in the minutes of the
Board.
"The families of that ntighbor-hood,
as well as families of every
section of Preeport, are entitled to
full protection of the zoning laws.
They are entitled to protection
against the anxieties caused by the
spread of false rumors. This state-men
t is issued for the purposc of
assuring such protection."
