Seaman Ave* School To Be Ready In September
Polio Foundation
Fights Her Method,
Sister Kenny Says
Contends Thousands
Are Denied Cures as
Result of Attitude
Sister Elizabeth Kenny, founder
of 30 institutes for the treatment of
victims of poliomyelitis, in a per-sonal
appearance in the Freeport
High School auditorium Tuesday
night, accused the National Foun-dation
1'or Infantile Paralysis which
is supported by the March of
Dimes, of denying thousands of vic-tims
of the disease the privilege
of leading happy, normal lives by
refusing to even agree to partici-pate
in a conference with her and
associates. She even charged the
Foundation with using more posi-tive
m e a n s of preventing her
method of treatment from gelling
a foothold in this country.
Sister.Kenny appeared under the
sponsorship of the Sisterhood of
Temple B'nai Israel. After inviting
her to come to Freeport, officers of
the Sisterhood found accommoda-tions
In the temple inadequate to
meet the demand. They then de-cided
to issue a general invitation
for everyone to attend and pro-cured
the use of the high school
auditorium. Several hundred per-sons
attended.
Success Amazed Doctors
Mrs. Julius Birgenthal, Sister-
• hood president, opened the meeting
and presented Mrs. Daniel Fried-man,
the program chairman, who
introduced the speaker. " Sister
Kenny explained that as a young
nur.se in the bush section or Aus-tralia
she had as a patltmt a Hilhl
who was found to have paralysis.
A doctor 40 miles away wired her
to."use her own judgment" in treat-ing
the case. She did so and when
he recovered he suffered no ab-normalities
from his sickness. The
doctors were amazed when they
examined the patient.
Sister Kenny continued to use
her method and finally fame 10

She did not do so, but went to other
places seeking recognition. She

When a <rroup of approximately f i f t y residents o!
Xortlnvextern section itl' the village appeared before the V
Board Thursday u i j r l i t and declarrd themselves unalt"
opposed to a bus "line through the
area, the members v.*ere taken com-pletely
by surprise. Oilier delega-tions
have opposed various routes
as they were proposed, but as
Mayor Cyril . C. Kyan explained,
never before had' a-iyone, even sug-gested
that the Board abandon the
project entirely.
Joseph F. Creamtr, who said he
bad lived at 204 Prince ave., ten
years, was the first spokesman.
When lie opposed the bus line.
Mayor Kyan replied the Hoard be-lieved
it was acting in accordance
to the wishes of the people in plan-ning
for the line, though no. oirt>-
seemed to wa^nt it to run through
his street.
Civics Endorsed Bus Line
The Mayor told of receiving a
petition requesting the establish-ment
of a bus route through the
area during the war when buses
were not available and action had
to be <A?luyed. -Later the applica-tion
was .renewed be added. He1
said the ' Northwest Civic Associa-t
i o n , a l t e r conducting a poll among
its members endorsed the proposed
line. Consequently, he continued,
thinking it was carrying out I hi*
! wishes of the people the board re-
' t'erred the matter lo the Transpor-
; 1 at ion Commission, which selected
l a route and recommended that the
Semke IJus Co. be given a permit
to operate l lie i-ouie. which was
changed to meet his suggestions.
i However. Mr. CreajiH'r conteri<]eil
J t h a L a bus Kne through an "A.A."
xoned residence area was a viola-t
i on ol' the zoning as be asserted il
would Lend to decrease property
values and menace children. He
asserled, also there was no vital
need for the line.
Mayor Ryan again insisted people
in the area had requested a bus
l i n e and the hoard was taking the
steps necessary to provide one. -He
referred to the fin l thai the only
objection" TO the line" operating
through May view ave,, in the south-ern
section of tlif1 village was t h a t
heard when the company failed to
give adequate service.
:.Whitehouse Started "Petition
Frederick W. Whiteliouse e.\-
plafhed the matte.- of buses—had-
_r.ome_.to..his attention when he read
a paragraph- in a ^Nassau County
daily revealing . application had
been filed by the Semke company
for permission- to operate through
the Village of Hen.pstead on the
way from Freeport to HofsLra Col-lege.
Thereupon, he continued, he
circulated a petition opposing the
bus line which was fclgned by "more
than one hundred residents of thn
area.
The Mayor explained he and the
other members of the Board 'under-stood
the petitioners to be opposed
to the proposed route through Long
Beach ave. and other streets, and
not against buses In general. He
read -lhe petition to back up his
statement. However, several speak-ers
accused him of misconstruing
the meaning of the .wording of the
petition.
Stanley Livingston finally said
one of the reasons for opposing the
line was that service for the North-west
ared was only Incidental in
that the main purpose was. to. at-tract
people from other communi-ties
to, Freeport by operating the
line all the way. to Hofstra 'Col-lege.
"I do" not think such a rline
should be run through a residential
sectipn," he declared. .
