BIG DRIVE READY FOR GUN- VILLAGE UNITES FOR LIBRARY
Teams WiU Begin Can¬ vass Tuesday—Mass Meeting Monday
The sUge is all set for the |60,000 drive that is to start fcr the Freeport Memorial Library on Monday, June 21. Final instructions were given the women who have volunteered to can¬ vass the village, on Wednesday after¬ noon at the Freeport Club, by Chair¬ man Samuel R. Smith.
The campaign as laid out by the committee has been drawn up along the moat systematic lines possible, and the result will be the kind of suc¬ cess that has been forecasted in the air from the start of the project.
Buttons are waiting to be distrib¬ uted throughout the village and post¬ ers of various kind.i will be distribu¬ ted before the end of the week.
Booklets describing the objects of the drive wiil be sent to every family in the village and when the canvass¬ ers start in their work next Tuesday the people in the various districts will be prepared to receive them and be fa¬ miliar with their errand.
In order that each canvasser may be officially recognized, she will have a card signed by Chairman Smith, au¬ thorizing her to present the matter of the Freeport Library to the people and to solicit subscriptions.
Books representing $20 in subscrip¬ tions will be disposed of among the various families and the amount may be paid in ten monthly installments, a figure that will come within the means of all.
¦ Where a family desires to give more than the "'family book," pledge cards have been prepared for theni to ftll out. The village has been divided into districts and each district will have a captain. The captain will have charge of the workers in that locality, and each worker will have a definite street or portion of a street to gover.
On Monday evening there will be a hig street 'i^atade and Freeport will be officially turned over to the cam¬ paigners for the duration of the drive. The parade will terminate on Rail¬ road avenue and will be foUowed by a huge mass meeting with prominent speakers. Subscriptions will oe solicit¬ ed at once an dit is hoped that as a re¬ sult of the collections at the mass meet¬ ing the canvassers Will be able to start their rounds Tuesday morning with the enthusiasm of knowing that a large portion of the amount needed has been realized.
There can be no hanging back at this time, and Freeport will stand sol¬ idly behind the project that means so much to them. The .stage is set, the neives are tenae, and the feeling is the same that came over our boya as they waited the approach of that ter¬ rible wonderful "zero hour" with its unknown possibilities, that would car¬ ry them over the top!    Let's go!
The first big event of the drive will be the parade and mass meeting Mon¬ day evening. The parade starts sharp at 7:30 from Grove street and the Boulevard, and will terminate at the same place. The mass meeting will then take place,    Elvin Edwards, the

$55,000 Site Not in Pub- lie Favor—Proposi¬ tion Is Squelched
By a vote of two hundred and fifty to one hundred and seventy, the prop¬ osition for a hiffh school site on the Merrick road was voted down at a public meeting held for the purpose in the Grove street building Monday evening.
The assembly room of the present high school was packed to the doors and many stood outside waiting to hear the results. It was a battle of brilliant arguments among the law¬ yers of Freeport, but all argununts were useless, for the reason that peo¬ ple had come to the meeting with their minds made up, and nothing could change them.
Elvin Edwards was elected chair¬ man of the meeting and after the clerk had read the call for the meet¬ ing the three following teller.s were appointed by the chair: Mrs. Frank, VV, F. Comell and H. G, King.
They were gwom in by Lawyer Maxon and it was resolved to vote by ballot. Then the battle was on! C. Dwight Baker, president of the Board of Education, presented the proposi¬ tion from their side of the question. The need of a high ecfaool was imper¬ ative and instant, he said.   The board

said his villaye board felt that it should be temporarily repaired at least. The matter was referred to Supervisors Smith and Doughty, the slreet eonimittee for Hempstead town.
George F. Hubbell, president of the village of Garden City, wrote the su¬ pervisors asking for information as to repairing Clinton avenue running thru that village. President Hubbell said before the camps came to this vicinity the roads were in excellent condition, but since that time the roads have been damaged- to a considerable ex¬ tent by the government trucks and by the government digging trenches across the roads. He said the roads are in bad condition and need immed¬ iate repair. He wanted to know if Clinton avenue is a county road. Lat¬ er, County Highway Superintendent Fred W. Starks said that Clinton ave¬ nue within Garden City is nol a coun¬ ty highway but a village road subject to repairs by the village, and the county section of that road runs north from the Motor Parkway to the Old Country road, paved with Warrenite, i^nd now in good condition.
Superintendent Starks was author¬ ized to attend the convention of coun¬ ty superintendents of highways at Auburn on June 29 and BO.
On motion of Supervisor Doughty it was ordered that in the future all highway contracts specify the total cost of the work to be done. Hereto¬ fore, in some instances, the contract was based on so much per square or cubic yard, with no specific informa¬ tion aa to the yardage.
Rear Commodore H. H. Tinkham of the AmityviUe Yacht Club asked that the Town of Oyster Bay place barrel buoys in the channel of the Great South Bay. similar to those placed further to tne west by the town of Hempstead. The matter was re¬ ferred to Supervisor Painter, who will confer with Supervisor Louden and Justice Bailey of the town of Baby¬ lon in Suffolk County adjoining Nas¬ sau County, and arrange for the set¬ ting of the barrel buoys. The Amity¬ viUe Yacht Club is to set out barrel buoys in its section of the bay and it will need the action of Oyster Bay to complete t.Ae channel markings.
izing the construction of the road at a total cost of $83,100, of which Nassau County's share wil! be $20,670.
The so-called federal road will be known officially as Federal Section No, 104, and will run north for a distance of 1.37 miles from Searingtown.
The actual cost of this federal aid road will be paid for as follows: By the United States Government, $24,- 115; by New York State, $24,115; by Nassau County, $20,670, and $14,200 by the Town of North Hempstead, It will be constructed of concrete.
The road will begin at Searingtown and run northerly to the junction of the State road, known as the Power House road, and wh«n completed will afford a direct route in a series of state and county roads from Sands Pt, to Mhieola and the south side. Be¬ tween Searingtown and the Jericho turnpike at Mineola there is now a dirt road which will be extended thru farm lands and its whole length of about a mile will be made a county highway.

TRAFFIC OFFICERS
Complying with the recommendd- tion of Sheriff Charles D. Smith, the Nassau Board of Supervisors on Mon¬ day authorized the sheriff to appoint twelve special traffic officers to be sta¬ tioned at various points in the county on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays and in 8om« places at all days of the week, through the three months of the heavy summer traffic.
In Hempstead town these trafflc of¬ ficers will be stationed at Merrick road and Rockaway road in Valley Stream; Broadway and Brower ave¬ nue in Woodburg, at Davenport cor¬ ner in Inwood and at the Merrick road in Baldwtn. The offlcers will be paid $6.00 a day for their services.
Wedneselay the SupjHjvisors author¬ ized Sheriff Smith to^tppoint a traf¬ fic officer for Long Beach west, a del¬ egation of residents of that communi¬ ty appearing before the Board and asking for temporary relief from tbe county until they could establish their own pplice district.

The   Opening   Performance  Will
Feature the  Best of
Broadway
The blaze of gleaming light that will appear two points off the star¬ board bow at Freeport Point Saturday evening, will not be the Milky Way, dipping into the briny, but will be the opening show of the L, 1. G. H. T. S. Club.
In reality, this alphabetical name staiid.s for the "Long Island Group of High Toned Show People," but as they are shining lights, individually and collectively, the club got its title, and reflects the glow of theatre lobbies along the Great Night Way.
It has been the custom of this or¬ ganization to present a show each week with talent from the members. The hardest critics to plea.se in the world are an audience of stage folk, next to an old tim.e Hamiiierstein Vic¬ toria housefull. The shows must be good, and they are, without a doubt in the world.
These performances are not matle up until a few days before the show in order that the performers cannot forget how to be clever and the pro¬ ducer is known as the "skipper." Ac¬ cording to the rules, the cast must be illuminated with stars, thereby elim¬ inating the expense of footjights, fcr the eost of these shows must be no larger than a costume from the Fol¬ lies, :
The shows at the L. I, G, H, T. S. have featured people on the same bill who occupy the whole length of theat¬ rical Broadway. This season the club is fortunate. The chef knows Mary Pickford Fairbanks, Moore so than Doug!
The first show of the season is al- \Yays given by the president or "an¬ gel," and this year it is nobody else but Prank Tinney. "You said a house full!" The press representative is E. Fourrer Hurley, who will have lots to tell about during the summer.

ing located on the plot selected could be used for school purposes at once, thereby relieving the conditions exist¬ ing in the schools at the present time. The Grove Street School is using the attic and cellar for classes, Merriek road would have to be crossed proba¬ bly, no matter where the school was placed, and from every angle, the site chosen was the one best suited for se'hool purposes. There is no school on Saturdays, Sundays or holidays, when the traffic on the Merrick road is the heaviest.
The Board of Education expects to have ten to fifteen grades on half time next term and the present high school does not answer the reiiuireinenls of the slate law.
Miss Doerflinger of Freeport, rose to question whether the Board desired lo build a home for teachers or a school. She said that local teachers who had homes in Freeport were not given an opportunity-to teach here, and that the embarrassing question of housing the teachers coulil be done away with by employing local teach¬ ers in Freeport.
(ieorge Du Bois, Superintendent of .Schools, told of the growth of the schools ill Freeport and stated that even during the yenrs of the war, when .students were leaving school to enlist, or efee go to work, the pupils had increased,
Ke state.l further, that in the fall, continuation schools will be started, according to law. Pupils who leave school will have to return and ii.ake up that time, and it will have to be made up during the regular school hours, thereby taxing' the present fa¬ cilities to a greater extent.
Tribute was paid to the Board of FJducation from the floor and it was said that they had raised the standard of education to a marked <legree in Freeport. Themost brilliant lawyers of the village urgued the site question, also wel! known townfolk and ladies. It was looked at from all angles, but one thing seemed to be lost sight of alto¬ gether. The meeting was advertised for five weeks, and the notice stated that but one site was under considera¬ tion. If there had been another site in Freeport someone with the proper authority would have been present to sell it on the spot. Indefinite renmrks were offered  as  to  other  sites.
The whole matter seemed to be a question of faith in the Board of p;du- cation as to whether or not they hud done lheir duty towards the children un<l parents of Freeport. It was a qae'slion of doing the best towards the boys and girls who are in need of new schools.
Moses Feltenstein came very near winning a victory for the new site with a powerful, eloquent addiess. He was a victim of his own enthusiasm, for he had the house with him until he made reference to "clam diggers." That was his Waterloo, and straight¬ way noses went into the air, hard lines appeared about the comers of mouths and minds that had been swayed by his eloquence and force, reverted back to the dogged idea that had been pres¬ ent at first.
Among other prominent peopie who talked for and against the proposition were: Supervisor H, R, Smilh, S. R, Smith, Henry J. McCord, Henry I... Maxon, Werner Nygren, Albin N. Johnson, Mrs. Clinton M. Flint, Mrs. Millbank «nd L. R. Cutler.
The outstanding facts revealed at the meeting are these: Freeport needs a new high school and grade sohool; the Grovie Street School cannot be re¬ modeled to meet the requirements of the law; pupils are on part time in Freeport now, and under present con. ditions the congestion will be worse in the fall, tbe present high school is a fire hazard with pupils in the altie and cellar; the Board of Education kad no motive in selecting Merrick ror,d, other than serving the honi in. tcMfsU of Freeport; no other site can relieve the situation at once. The arguments against th« site con¬ sisted of the price, other sites not be- ing presented, the danger and the ever present abhorrenca of spending money for other people's bejwfit. Weighed together, the porehaae of the sjte on Memck road ha«l the most in its fav- or. but the people were ylammd to vote Jt down and when the qocation com«s up again the pro|ii6aitioQ will proba¬ bly cost more than the llgare named in this deal.
•The ballo'dng began a little after 10 o'clock and reanltMl te Merrick road as a school site being overwhelmingly squelched.
