Over a Thousand Dollars
for the Red Cross
(Special Contribution) Mrs. M. Feltenstein, head of the Freeport Women's Ambulance Fund, is about to tum into the treasury of the Freeport Unit of the Red Cross something over a thousand dollars, the proceeds of the bridge party held under the auspices of the fund at the Blossom Heath Inn on the afternoon of Jnly 16.
It was without doubt, both socially and financially, the biggest and most successful affair of its kind ever held on the South Shore. Passersby stopped to inquire the occasion that had as¬ sembled so large a number of smartly gowned women, while all around the Inn it looked as if all the automobiiea in the State had been collected a^^hat^spot.
fieforrSctual play began all joined in thesinging of the National anthem, ac¬ companied by a full orchestra. The un¬ usual feature of the affair was the ad¬ dress delivered by Mr. M. Feltenstein, the noted New York trial lawyer, and an orator of remarkable power and , eloquence. He paid a glowing trib¬ ute to the women of the Red Cross, their work and their sacrifices, and many of thoae present sobbed aloud, with tears streaming from their eyes, when he graphically portrayed the "white robed. Red Crossed angels of Mercy, who within the sound and even within reach of the bursting shells, ministered to our fallen he¬ roes, lying on their last bed of pain, and with gentle hands and still gent¬ ler voice recalled thoughts of home and mother to them, who would nev¬ er see home and mother again."
Towards the end of the afternoon Albert Von Tilzer appeared and sang
- several of his latest patriotic airs. Special mention should be made of
. the patriotism of Joseph Suskind, proprietor of the Blossom Heath Inn. who not only donated the free use of the premises, but fumished as well the music and decorations and d«(li- cions refreshments to each player. As every inch of space in the unusually

Chief Randall asked what had boen done in the matter of the fire alarm system and was assured that the Board was "marking time," and had no intention of putting the alarm sys¬ tem in at present if the telephone company could be induced to continue its present plan of supplying informa¬ tion regarding fires to the fire houses.
Upon recommendation of the Fire Council, James R. Smith was re-ap¬ pointed hydrant inspector at the same salary as last year.    -
A communication was received from Arthur D. Nosworthy, acting for the Service Flag Committee, advising that S. F. Pearsall had resigned as tfeasurer and asking the Board to ap¬ point someone to take care of the fund and the flag. The Board re¬ quested Village Clerk Shea to take the matter in charge.

Nassau Post Goes
Out of Business
With its issue of last Friday, July 19, James E. Stiles, publisher of the Nassau Post, announced that that pa¬ per would be consolidated with the Rockville Centre Observer, for the purpose of giving his readers a larger paper. He will mainUin offices at Rockville Centre, Freeport and Law¬ rence.
Honestly we wish Mr. Stiles suc¬ cess in his venture. He has a strong ability to make friends, has a good nose for news features and a good big territory to work on, which coup¬ led with his influence over the politi¬ cians, ought to make his career a rosy- one.
