WONDERFUL SPIRIT
This is the tale oJt the Review's dally
ve  edition,  the work  that was nee-
^PBsary, and  the  tale  of the  nerves  of
that  were worn to a point where
would get mad if you asked them
thousand dollars.
Whcm  James  K.   Stiles   accepted   the
publicity end ot the drive,  he bit oft a
huge mouthful.    Verily, verily, a large
mouthful for each on»w>f the workers!
.The flrBt day called for a meeting Of the talent that 1« found among the Stiles cohorts, and it is talent, if we do say so. The plans of the paper were outlined and It was agreed to let the regular dally work go on, as it had to anyway, and tackle this bird of a pa- perette after four o'clock each day. It aouilded good.
Did we do it 7 We'll say so if no one else does.' As a matter ot fact we have been condemned by both press and pulpit. The work necessary for the proposition required all the train¬ ed editors that are in the Stiles combi nation at the present time. m» well iih the forces of the South Side Obaerver and the Nassau County Review. It meant that everyone must give up all thought.'< <jf lifime, 8Ui>r)or, and bed and be prepared to work twenty hours n I day until the wwid began to go around, and we started to pay back debts, a sure .sign of mental disintcRratlon, by way.

Freeport has succeeded where other towns on Long Island have failed, in the matter of a suitable memorial for the boys of the Great War, 1'he ques¬ tion of memorial libraries and com¬ munity houses has been taken up all over the Ilsand and has failed for one reason or another.
Port Jefferson, Glen Cove, Bay Shore and Hempstead are some of the villages who started such projects and had to give them up. It will be a source of everlasting satisfaction to citizens of Freeport villaije to know that their library was made possible by the concentrated efforts of the citi¬ zens and that they were not forced ty admit defeat -iftef having once started the work.

t From the sUndpoint of the non resi '•dent visitor In Freeport, the drive that ;,: ta being conducted for a Memorial Li- i'brary Is most Interesting.
Fpr the life of me, 1 can't help as I aoclating It with the activities in a oer- ; tain family I once Knew in Connecticut. There was a Ilttle red-headed boy In ; the family who had a funny little streak '' In um that made it seern necessary for 1 him to do thlnge a Uttle differently from I the others. If his brothers wanted to r'play ball, he thought It was time to 'go nshlng. If they were ready to go ^flahlng, he suddenly decided to fly kites, f-ot go off for a hike. ) In going around with one of the can- i^ddddetn, I bave found just snch a dis- [ poaition  here.
: It is not serious, if this canvaas is raally like the Connecticut family, let rme tell you. Up there In the hills, the S tooye had their differences, and some- ; times made a lot of noise ^ about it. 'About that time the mother and slstem '^came ti^to the affair. Thoy had a way iot amoothlng things over in a Jiffy, sp > that It wasn't long before th« kids -wefe all playing happily together, and dif [ifarences were forgotten. f^^^Looks to me aa U the mothers and Mtotora of Freeport were already eier- folalng the oalmlng Influence, harmb- .' ulaing all of ua men.

known and considered by those who have given serious thought to the Me¬ morial Library project, yet there are many who speak in favor of a Com¬ munity Houae and against the Library idea, who have not conisdered these facts.
A comaaunity house, it has been pointed out, which would meet the re¬ quirements of the local situation, would cost from $150,000 to $200,000 or more, and its maintainance would be a heavy burden.
Within a few years, it is believed, the time will be ripe for bringing the comniunity house project before the people of the village, and in the mean¬ time the Memorial Library can be erected and in use, if each house in Freeport will do its share by contrib¬ uting $2 per house per month for ten months,

evenings. "Sylvia" will rank as the best amateur performance that has been in this section for a long tima, and the Society ought to be encour¬ aged to present many sucb P'ays. which are a source of pleasure and enjoyment to the village.
Honors fell to Raymond F, Smith for his splendid singing, and to Wil¬ liam F. DeVoe, who had the comedy part ofthe old leech of the court, feed¬ ing on flattery and scandal. Mrs, Marion Lester DeVoe in the name part, and Miss Esther L. Sinith were splendid and the quartette in the last act was one of the prettiest bits of the clever jierformance.
The ^usic Lovers' Society Orches¬ tra under the leadership of, Fred Kir¬ by, played the difficult score splend¬ idly and Baldwin is more than lucky to have such an organization. Miss Astra Nygren was the pianist.
"Sylvia" left us with a confused recollection of dainty farmerettes and overalled farmers, ladies of the court and their pampered pets, two dozen solos and choruses that were one hun¬ dred per cent, music and an evening well   spent  and   enjoyed.
The cast of characters was as fol¬ lows: Sir Bertram DeLacey, the court poet, Rennie Smith; Prince Tobby- tum, a man of consequence, William F. DeVoe; William, an honest farmer, Raymond F. Smith; Robin, a country lad, Edmund C. Clark; Sylvia, betroth¬ ed to DeLacey, Mrs, Marion Luyster DeVoe; Betty, betrothed to William, Miss Esther L, Sinith; Arabella, a lady in waiting at court, Miss Wini¬ fred Smith; Araminta, her sister, Mrs. Caroline Berker; Polly, Mrs. Sidney Alabaster; Molly, Miss Anna A. Dos¬ cher; Dolly, Miss Grace H. Charters; farmers' daughters, friends of Betty.
The singing was under the direc¬ tion of Marion Lester DeVoe. Scen¬ ery b^ John C. Henrici. Curtain by Thomas S. Coyne. Lighting effects by Messrs. Paul Boggs and Ralph Adams. Progrram cover by Fred B. Smith. Ushers, members of Baldwin Post, No. 246, A. L. Musical direct¬ or, Fred Kirby; Miss Astra Nygren, pianist. Produced and staged under the direction of W.
