Sir: • , - . ' . ' ^ ,'.-'• ' ' ! - ' • ' ' '/ .
.1 feel impelled to, write a word
regarding the program for "Beau-tiflcation"
of our fair Village of
Freeport.. . "
People make their own slums.
Just travel and observe from Ben-nfngton
Park to Stearns Park.
Folks clean up their property by
dumping their leaves, etc., on a
vacant Jot across the street or next
door. Others just-sweep the dirt
out the door and let it land where
H may.
That such a • condition should
exist Is indeed a mark against us,
with the Sanitation Department do-ing
such an outstanding job of
collecting refuse and garbage from
the rear of our homes to prevent
It being strewn about the streets
from overturned cans.
Let us not only appeal to the
people of Freeport but make-it an
offense punishable by fine to litter
other people's property. Perhaps
tlien we will get co-operation.
Respectfully,
BBRDELLA PIRNIE.

If other more appropriate and selec-tive
steps are not taken as outlined
herein.' It must be realized that if
the elimination 'Is completed as now
ordered these deficiencies cannot
be corrected."
First Hearings in 1932
The report points/ out that the
first hearing was held in 1932 and
hearings were continued from 1932
to 1937 when the Public Service
Commission ordered a certain type
of elimination plan carried out.
After three years the Village Board
realized this plan did not meet the
needs of the community and an
application for the reopening of the
case was filed arid granted, M.
Burton Cohen was retained by the
village to' present the case to "the
P.S.C. As a result ^f hearings It
was agreed to lay.'the temporary
tracks while the elimination work
was in progress south of the present
right of way Instead of the north
side because of the danger of the
Brooklyn water supply conduits
caving in.
"It appears the soje incidental
improvement accruing to the Vil-lage,
by the adoption of this plan
(Cohen plan) seemed to consist of
the State's acquiring ownership of
the land and buildings (1) two tri-angles
bounded by Sunrise High-way
and the railroad from the west
side of Grove st. to the east side of

Deficiencies in Cohen Plan
Deficiencies in the plan are listed
a? follows:
"A—No provision for parking
during the two-year construction
period,
"It—Inadequate ultimate com-muters'
parking, the space for off-street
parking between Main st.
and Long Beach ave. will only ac-commodate
227 cars, -19 less than
at present, and 13 IPSS than existed
on Oct. 21, 1937—12 years ago.
"C—Inconvenient and scattered
parking locations or limited num-btr
provided for, 70 vehicles must
still use the area between Ocean
and Long Beach aves., on the south-side
of Brooklyn ave., with the first
available entrance to the station
at Grove st., precludes
for any present or future
parking in the shopping
platform
provision
business
area."
It is maintained In the report
tfcat Freeport Is entitled to a park-ing
plaza, commensurate with its
importance- as a leading south
shore community. In 1941, the re-port
adds, 324 buses used the term-inal
daily while In 1944 the average
number of bus passengers was
21,569, indicating the need for a
uniori bus and railroad station as is
provided under Plan 3.
ThetVillage Board has filed an
application with the P.S.C. for the
I'e-openlng of the case with "six
months in which to prepare a plan
t is hoped will meet with the favor
of the majority of the residents of
the community for submission to
the commission. _A decision on this
application is expected dally.

INTRODUCES
....William F. Qlacken
"Team work and Freeport" . . . The s p i r i t that made TRUSTKK
WILLIAM F. GLACKKN a member of many championship athletic
teams, will be the spirit used by the new Hoard of Trustees, and the
Mayor of the Village of Freeport. /IVamwurk 100 percent means com-plete
success in carrying out, not
ex-board, but also in the planning
and finalizing oi still bigger and
better projects.
*
WILLIAM.
Bill Glacken is just stepping onto
the threshold of public service in
his first term as Trustee. He has
lived in Freeport practically all his
life and offers youth, ambition, and
the deepest sincerity to make our
village an ideal all-around com-munity.
He was born in Brooklyn,
September 1, 1912, but two years
later his family moved to this vil-lage.
Young Bill attended the local
schools, was graduated from Free-port
High School, and then majored
in Business Administration at Ohio
University. He has been in the
insurance business (Nolan-Glacken
Agency) in Freeport for fifteen
successful years.
* * * The thought of teamwork in
operation is not something new in
the Olacken family. His brothers,
like Bill, have been prominent and
connected with clean-cut sports
throughout the years. The name
"Glacken" is known to all basketball and baseball fans. • The three
brothers. Bill, Joe, and Ed., 'have been members of
s&mi-PW teams (Omegas) which have won all types
in their field. His two brothers attended Syracuse
they won recognition as stars on the court and
Glacken is now a successful high school coach, and
'radio enginee'ring, at' Sy•racu•se.* • • •
Married to the former Mary ftellly of Freeport, and residing at
225 Southside avenue, William Glacken's philosophy of fife can easily
be looked at as that of the typical young American. It lacks nothing
He is a father of a healthy two-year-old son, a veteran who went into
the service as a private, and four years later was honorably discharged
as a Major (n the Air Corps, having seen action throughout the Pacific
Theater, and a successful business man. He is a member of the Vet
erans of Foreign Wars, American Legion, Freeport Elks, and Knights
of Columbus.
* + +
Trustee William F. Glacken is symbolic of the type of Village
Father whose prime aim is to belter the community and yet please as
many citizens as possible In carrying out the overall program. It is a
stream-lined program, saving as many previous moments as possible,
that is unenecessary waste of time, which can be utilized for better
purposes. A type ol1 Trustee who wants to know and listen to the
citizens of this promising metropolis. Better Freeport sincerely and
witfi an eye to the future needs.
* * .* * .
As a man, Bill Glacken cannot but be liked and respected. His
appearance is distinguished and impressive, and his personality displays
youth and ambition. This is our new Trustee, WILLIAM F. GLACKEN
. . . He will help "carry the ball!." . . . TEAMWORK AND FREEPORT.
Pennsylvania-Prince Ave.
Blinker Means 'Full Stop'
A red blinker light has been
installed by the village at the
intersection of -• Pennsylvania
and Prince aves. Red blinkers
are the same as "full stop"
signs, and all drivers must
come to a halt before passing
under them.
Many people are not aware
of this fact. Consequently the
police have toad to. hand out
numerous "tickets" to- drivers
who merely slowed down and
then crossed the intersection
on seeing the coast was clear.
Since the, blinker was placed
in operation "full stop" signs
also have been placed at the
crossing to make sure, drivers
understand they must come to
a complete stop on reaching
the intersection. Police have
asked The LEADER to call
attention to the blinker and the
fact lhat all cars must "halt on
reaching the intersection.
