In these days of chaotic world
disturbances, we have met' men;
even recognized leaders in their
fields of . endeavor. who un-ashamedly
admit the complete
absence of any form of religion in
t h e i r seemingly successful lives.
However, a sincere probe of their
true conscience, a l i t t l e self-re-f
l e c t i o n , would convince them that
their apparent achievements have
been only pseudo-great, and that
t h e i r "ships of life" are being
sailed without the assuring con-trol
of a compass; Religion.
Without this s t a b i l i z i n g factor,
the 'attainment o( their goals has
been, in most cases, built upon the
hazardous and uncertain structure
of chance. Their victories have
been empty1.

Complain of Swamp
Dinner To Former Mayor Ryan
Outstanding Event In Freeport
Five hundred and fifty persons representing practically
every group and orjrani/.ation in Frecport joined in honoring
.former Mayor Cyril <V Ryan at a dinner Thursday night 'in. the
-Smith Shore Yacht Club. It was
easily one of the outstanding events
in recent years and a tribute sel-dom
paid to a man who has held
/the highest office wlth'in the gift of
the people of this community.
iMayor Ryan received three-gifts,
a diamond ring with platinum set-ting
presented him by Ralph Pel-lioio
on behalf of those at the din-ner;
an honorary life membership
in the-PoIlce Department given, him
by Chief Peter Elar, and a pair of
sports shirts from F. Gordon Ed-wards,
president of the Rotary
Club. -
Village Counsel Martin' H. Wey-rauch,
chairman of the dinner com-mittee,
officiated as toastmaster.
Mayor Robert L. Doxsee struck a
responsive chord when he said"-Mr.
Ryan would always be known as
"Mayor" Ryan.
Sheriff H. Alfred Vollmer said
that Cyril Ryan, during his two
years as trustee and four years as
mayor did a swell job, and referring
his appointment' to the Nassau
County Transit Commission, said
"tonight 'instead of calling him
'Mr. Mayor' you can call himm 'Mr.
Commissioner.' .'Referring to his

before the Hoard Tuesday ni^ht ;o
ask relief from the swampy condi-tion
of Ihe *oil where, their homes
are localed.
They i-xjilaine.d that tht- area
starting I rom the southside of
Moore ave. and extending south to
midway between Craig'and* Evans
a.ve., between Pennsylvania ave.
and the golf grounds need adequate
drainage fucilitiies. • They said the
rear of their yards'backing on the
golf grounds always was* in 'a
swampy condition- and that after
heavy rains water seeped into their
cellars to a depth of several inches
and collected on the lawns. Ten
houses are affected.
They contended the drain at
Pennsylvania and Evans aves. was
insufficient to carry off the water
and that others should be provided.
This condition .they said " h a d ex-isted
for years.
Members j)f the board' promised
to Jook into.the matter of the street
drainage but said they had no con-trol
over the condition adjacent to
the golf grounds. Mr. Shapiro and
Mr. Mazor said they would take
the matter up with the owners of
the- golf grounds.
