George H. E. Aring has taken the agency for the "Reliance Air Contain¬ er." This is an jniprovemant over the present metnod of making inner tubes, and it is claimed that a nail can be driven directly through these tubes and pulled out again, and no air can eicape. Mr. Aring is ent^-usiastic over this proposition, and will no doubt "make good."

Fire in a garage and st<>ra};e huild- ..ig of Mrs. 'J. Trubenbsfk on Jay Street Tuesday noon for a tirue threat¬ ened the destruction of the building and was put out by neighbors, after a few minutes' hard work, oniy after a hole aeveral feet sijuare had been burned in the tioor, and some articles of furniture which were stored therein destroyed. An attempt was made to send in the alarm, Ixjt Central nut be ing sure ot the correct numbtr to give at the )Uiwer house, turned the call over to Chiefs Pearsall and Randall, and by the time the fire wa.-i located, it was under control. An alarm would have been justifiable under the circum¬ stances. The cause is unknown, the blaze starting apimrcnlly near the cen¬ ter of the floor, and the building not having betn o|ien since early morning
is one of the same kind; just wait a minutii and give this the "once over," too. The Tournament Committee is planning to have some time on Thanks¬ giving Eve, Wednesday, November 24. Do not say "Ob I can't bowl," because you can ; even if you have never bowled a game before in your life, you have the sime chance as any one else; the best howlers will be very heavily han¬ dicapped, giving all an even chance. If you don't want a turkey, the press committee not being over strong and rather delicate wojld be pleased to re¬ ceive such a gift. We thank you! All joking aside fellows, come out and have the sport of bowling for the ex ercise will do you good and help digest the Thanksgiving dinner much better. The only stipulation attached by the committee is that all special games miwt not be started before 8 o'clocli p. m. and the last game to be started before 11 o'clock p. ni. This gives you three whole hours of fun.
.Since our last issue when we spoke of the gymnasium, four people have spoken to us, saying we could count on them if it ever was built. This makes an actual count of 29 whom we have heard say the same thing. We cannot say how many others have told other members the same, but it is a sure bet we are not the only ones who have heard it. We would like to hear more on this Gym subject from the other members. Its a sure thing it will bring in new members, new games, new dances, and improvement to the Club and more money into the treas¬ ury. In other words it will be the making of the Freeport Club. We have heard that some of the members said it is taking too much of a chance.

Laufer, Super¬ intendent of Presbyterian Sunday School work for New York and New Jersey, who was the speaker of the evening.
Mr. Laufer spoke upon the duty of working directly through the Sunday School to bring young people into the Christian life. He said there is a de¬ termination among the leaders that the percentage of those joining the ohurchea from the Sunday School shall be higher this year than it was la.st. He decried the .sinful careles.nnesa ami indifference of church members and officers, who through lazineti" and in¬ difference let the young people drift away and then through an evangelistic spasm try to do several years' work of growth and nurture in a short month I or week.

The up-State Public Service Com¬ mission'has refused to allow the Long Island Railroad to discontinue its sta¬ tions at South Lynbrook and East Rockaway on the Long Beach branch and substitute therefor a new station at a point between the two. It ap¬ peared on the hearings that the.re was a sharp division of public sentiment among the many persons who appeared from the community affected by the proposed change, but the Commission points out in dismissing the applica¬ tion that while new territory might be The    ladies o£ the   Freeport   church '''"'" "I^ hy the   erection   of   the   new

Chief reported he had requisitioned the Village Board to place horses in Hose 1 house until the end of the year. The Board also allowed this request, the same evening, to start at once.
Committee on proposition to pur¬ chase new apoaratus recommended that a [iropositiim be submittel for new houses for Hose 2 and Hose 3. and the Board requevted to purchase • hose wagon from the budget.
Foreman Rice of F^ngine 1 requested the ''ouncil to endeavor to secure a tractor for the steamer, which he said was good for seveial years more of service, but wa." hard pressed for means of answering alarms. After lengthy discussion the report of the committee was adopted  as   presented.
It was decided to have oniy the elec¬ tric lights and   a   storage  battery in¬ stalled on Hose 2 wagon,  omitting the Edmond   generator.     This can be done   without taking the wagon out of Mt-rvice.
