Visiting Soldiers Like
Freeport Entertainment
Here are some more extracts from the register at the Soldiers Club from boys who have been with us during the past few weeks:
Here is one from Bartlett, Texas, from a corporal in the M. T. C: 'Three big cheers for the W. C. C. S."
Rieht next to him on either side are Boys from Pittsburgh, Pa., and Ionia, Michigan. Ihe flrst one says: "Spent an evening that will never be forgbtten" and the other says: "Thc W. C C. S. can certainly make a fel¬ low feel at home."
A lad from the lOlst Infantry, whose home is at Boston, Mass., tays: "Home is far away, but things are fine here with the pie and cake."
One of the lads from the M. T. C, from the neighboring village of Lyn¬ brook, a lonesome young fellow who does not dance much, says: "Best girls I ever knew."
One of the regulars in the M. T. C. writes: "Just like home. I do not know what I would do if there was no place like this."
A lad from Burlington, Vermont, says: "The best time had in many months.
That reminds u?, last Saturday ev¬ ening one of our registrants was Ho Charles of the M. T. C. No. 482, whose home address is 1336 King Street, Honolulu, Hawaii. The girls said he was a good dancer.
And this reminds us again of the variety in our work. The same night that we entertained this Hawaiian, a full fledged Japanese soldier, also with the M. T. C, was among our vis¬ itors.
Mentioning names, on Wednesday Private Ralph H. Bates, of the Medi¬ cal Corps, from Toledo, Ohio, writes: "Boys always remember this Club." The workers remembered Bates, too, because he was the best soldier work¬ er we had when we built the addition to our club house on Brooklyn Ave nu«, giving the entire afternoon in the big rush we had to get th2 building finished.. Bates haa since been over¬ seas, but made two trips from Camp Merritt to visit us on nis way home
Showing the variety, a lad from Ta- coma, Washington, in the 13th In¬ fantry, writea: "Time of my life."
A lad from California paid ua the unusual compliment of saying: "Home was never like this."

"Silver Stripes  Instead of Gold"
Having talked with scores and scores of soldiers who enlist^ with the intention of going overseas and who were kept in this country for one reason or another, usually because of special efllciency in some branch, the following item passed on to us aeems well worth reprinting: Editor The Amityville Record:
.My husband being one of the en¬ listed men who didn't get a chance to go overseas, brought me this upon his return to private life. I thought you might wish to print it in your "newsy" paper.
A Reader. Darling, here's your soldier bold.
Silver stripes instead of gold Shine upon his sleeve today,
'Cause he did not sail away.
But, my darling, do not bleat; For he didn't have cold feet; Simply did as he was told— Silver stripes instead of gold.

The passageway from the eastbound to the westbound tracks of the L. I. R. R. at our local station has been closed by fencing. A great inconvenience ia caused the traveling public by this ac¬ tion. Why it was necessary surpass¬ es understanding. There is no appar¬ ent compensating safety for the in¬ convenience caused.

Dr. Frank A. Myrick, one of the duty men at the Club House, has a let¬ ter from William Pillard from Prince¬ ton, Nebraska, in the blacksmith and horseshoing business. He says: "I finally got home and am sure glad to be here, although I miss the good times we had at the Club, and it is a place I never will forget. I have of¬ ten wished I could be there to spend some of the lonesome evenings."
It is letters like this from the men whom we entertained that help to make the work worth while, knowing that it is appreciated by our gfuests.

Kiddy Nearly Electrocuted
Early Wednesday evening C. E, Swatling was driving his auto along Broadway when at Columbus Avenue a woman signalled for him to stop. He jumped from his car, and found a lad fast to a live electric wire which had been hanging down and whicli he had grabbed. Mr. Swatling took a blanket from his car and knocked the wire from the little fellow's hand, and he fell unconscious on the ground. Mr. Swatling sent for a phygician and ad¬ ministered first aid so that the boy was soon breathing normally, when he took him to Dr. Runcie for treatment. The boy was Jerome, the four year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Bus- cemi of 63 North Columbus Avenue. The timely arrival of Mr. Swatling saved his life, "as the wire was a pri¬ mary alternating current wire for supplying village lighting, of about 1,100 volts and the child would have soon been beyond help. The thumb on his left hand was burned down into the bone and the tips of his index and little finger burned off, and there were also some superficial btims on his legs.
The wire evidently had been weak¬ ened from the severe stmrm of Satur¬ day night and dropped to the ground just before little Jerome happened tc juat before little Jerome happened to see it
