The Heart of Bennington Park"
Proponents of the Cohen plan Tor t he V l i m i n a t ion of the

Mich' petitions by nsin^ the IVlaciotts1 assert i on t h a t under the
Civic-Chamber of Commerce plan t i n * s t a t i o n and the proposed
parking pla/.a would be located in the "Heart of Hennin«r1on

of "the park," t h a t we as a t o l e r a n t newspaper could

No one would say the r-Yceport Theatre is in the "Heart of

Then too, it has been asserted t h a t people eominir from
the west will have to walk a lonjf distance a f t e r reaching the

Less Parking Than at Present ...
But these matters are only t r i v i a l compared to the most important
of all, the problem of providing adequate f a c i l i t i e s in the v i c i n i t y of (lie
station and the tracks for ail day parking. I'mler the Cohen plan there
writ' be less room for off-street parking between Main st. and. Long
Beach ave. than there is at present—spare for only 227 cars. Under
Plan No. 3 the total would be 2X5.
All are agreed that somewhere, somehow, a large field must be
acquired to provide accommodations not only I'or the present bin for
scores of years to come. The Cohen plan makes no provisions lor such
a field. The civic plan does. It proposes the establishment of a Plaza
fronting directly on the ticket ollice and extending along Sunrise High-way
from Henry st. two blocks east to Benson pi. with accommodations
for'600 cars.
Those behind'this plan are confident that because of its proximity
to the, station ticket ofllce it will be included''as ".incidental" to the

INTRODUCES
....Robert L. Doxsee
"Straight from thp shoulder"—These were the words used when I
first heard about .Bob Doxsee, and they probably best describe the
type o f man- b e i s . ...
Robert 1.. Doxsce impressed this reporlcr \\<hh his dynamic and
honest personality. His sincere and bard working efforts have b u i l t his
Long Island Sea Ham I'o. . i n t o
a concern which employs ap-proximately
seventy men d u r i n g
the height ol the season. Dox-see's
company and Ms r e p u t a t i o n
are known and ivspcdejl by all
in the trade 0*1 rhe easicrn
consl. His Point Lookout eslab-
Mshmenl is ;i bee-hive ol a c t i v -
ity. He is a director ol Ihe Long..
I s l a n d Fishermen's Association,
and I n d u s t r y Member, New York
Slate, ol the A t l a n t i c Slates
.Marine Fisheries I'om miss inn.
His business know-how, how-ever,
is not something newly ac-quired.
The Doxsee family
settled on Long Island in 1744,
and has been active In fishing,
canning and other Long Island
enterprises ever since. Bob's
grandfather became a South
Shore leader in canning and sea
food products early in 1865.
Holier! L. Doxfiee's wile is the
former Jessie (litTord of upstate
t'olumbia County. He IH lUly-one
years old but his energetic
nature and appearance give him
the look of u much younger man.
They have three grown children, Clifford, 24, a graduate of Cornell
r'niversity, and now. doing post-graduate work at Cambridge;-Eleanor,
-li; is Mrs. Nagle of Syracuse, N. Y., and the youngest son, Robert Jr., IK,
is ;i student ut the. Slate Industrial School at Farmlrv'gdale, "Long Island.
Robert L. Doxsee Is a .Village Trustee and acting Mayor. AmonQ
other things, he is active in the Freeport Lodge of ElkB, the Sons of
American Revolution, Freeport Republican Club, and William Clinton
Story Post, American Legion. Men of the Doxsee family have partici-pated
in alt major w.irs. Bob and h/a brother are veterans of World War /, and Robert Jr., had a mftlandld World War II record. Having Ltcon
very active in the Battle of the Bulge.'
Tlie Caiiily bas lived in Freeport since MM!), and has resided at :1W
A re he j- H!.. lor seventeen > ears.
Robert Doxsee is not a professional polrtjcian. His political philoso-phy
is based on straight logical t h i n k i n g , and is of the calibre of Wash-i
n g t o n and other great Americans who had the sincere thought of the
country at heart. This is Bob Doxsee, not a fancy, but a forceful
speaker, honest, sincere and "straight from the shoulder."
