AROUND THE TOWN
(B. T. B. C.)
I recently met the lady who owns tha property mentioned in an item in thia colnmn, referring to an automo¬ bile accident where the car ran up on the aidewalk and kncK:ked the fence down, at the northeast comer of Mer- yick Road and Ocean Avenue (instead of the northwest comer as printed). Mra. B. says that she had previously had a conference with one of our viN lave police and he afcreed that she had an entire right to have the fence there.   She saya further that the man

with a very nice letter of regret for the annoyance which she considered mighty nice. So do I, and it is quite possible that if I lived at that comer I might keep the fence up myself, be- becanae we do not all think alike; but at the same time I personally wish it was not there and incidentally I think that piece of property would look much prettier without the fence, stand- ink off and above the road as it does, but that, too, is another question.

The active workers of the various committees connected with the Free- port War Camp Conynunity Service participated in a farewell event at the Club House oji Monday evening. While the committee would have liked to have invited everybody who has had any share in the work, there is no hall large enough for this, so it was limited to the active workers on the several committees who had contin¬ ued in the work until  it finished, in-

An item rn this column on the 12th inst. dealing with the right of way of automobiles, has caused consider¬ able discussion, owing principally to general lack of knowledge of the law, notwithstanding , the Secretary of State has called attention to it, and cases have been tried under it in the Supreme Court and decisions ren¬ dered accordingly. The law plainly provides that cars on the right always have the right at intersecting corners, excepting where local traffic regula¬ tions are provided, with a traffle aflt- cer on duty to regulate the traffic. The case we cited of Mrs. Von Tilzer and Miss Miller, corner Long Beach Avenue and Smith Street, was not to enter into a qu^tion of the techni calities of this case, as to who might have reached the comer first, and who was going fast and who was going slow, and no reflection upon the driver of either car. Mrs. Son Tilzer took from my writing that I meant she was to blame for the accident. That was not the idea, nor was the item writ¬ ten in that way, but merely to em- phaaitft the law. I might say that at the same time I had a discussion with one of our local automobile dealers who was willing to bet me that in a caae at Court the driver of the Ford car, which struck the National, would have to pay the damages, notwith¬ standing the law. I told him I was not betting on the decision of the Jury at Court, but upon the law itself, and was not well enough acquainted with the actual facts in thia case to want ., to take any chance on them. I have <known Mrs. Von Tilzer, so far as her driving cars is confcemed, for several years, and have never known of her being in an accident, and in no way re¬ flected upon her ability to drive a car, nor did I enter into a discuaaion of the facta in this case. My pdhnt was to emphasize that she did not have the right of way simply because she was traveling on Long Beach Avenue which was a more frequented street than Smith Street. If Miss Miller was driving her car very fast and did not pay proper attention to the crossing, for in8tance,*thi8 would be a question of law, in which we were not interest¬ ed. The only fact is that a car on the right has the right of way, and a car on the left must be prepared to stop for it at any crossing.
Automobile drivers are 99 per cent, ignorant of this law, as are also mem- beirs of police forces in various vil¬ lages where we have asked them re- farding it, in most cases never having eard of t^e law, and wdnting to ar¬ gue that there was no such law in several instances. This is the reason I took the law for my "sermon," and not to try to enter into an argument as to who was to blame in that case, or to make any reflection that Mrs. Von Tiller was careless in her driv¬ ing.

Perhaps the news¬ papers are not to blame, as there is not near so much money in it as in "playing sucker" for political bosses. That is not what we started out to say however, but merely to remark upon the claim that over 200 were in the list, in a village which tries to put it¬ self in a class with Freeport where the list of Service men includes nearly 500 names.

Movements are under way to crea- ate among men an interest in church work. The purpose should be sup¬ ported even if for no other reason than its educative value. Take the church out of the world and see what would happen. As it is there are thou¬ sands and tens of thousands who would rather go to church and hear a good sermon than go to the movies. But they want to hear a good sermon. They al.so want to be a part of a defin¬ ite, militant organization, one th'it stands for something that they can see and feel and touch. More power to the movement.
Don't Know  What They  .\re Asking For

We have remarked to this effect before, but it seems that the smell "improves" with age.

They were given hot luncheon at "The Ma¬ ples," a boat ride to the beach in the afternoon and a picnic supper on the dock before their return to the hos¬ pital.
Merrick Welcomes

The returned Soldiers, Sailors and Marines of the village were officially welcomed home Saturday evening. A supper was served at six o'clock, for the g'jests only, and at eight o'clock the hall was opened for a general re¬ ception and entertainment. The affair was handled by the Fire Department, with .Major J. B. Christoffel in charge, the iaiiie.s of the Red Cross Au.tiliary -trving the supper.

Auto Thieves Busy
Matthew O'Neill of Smithville South, a taxi driver, charged with grand larceny in the second- degpree, was tried before Police Justice Clin¬ ton M. Flint last Thursday and dis¬ charged. O'Neill was taken into cus¬ tody by Police Captain John Dunbar after Mrs. Louise Bader of South Main Street, swore out a warrant, in which she charged that an automobile had been stolen from her and identi¬ fying the car as that in possession of O'Neill.
A few hours after the conclusion of the trial here Capt. Dunbar received word from the Hempstead police that an automobile had been stolen in Hempstead, and when he was given the description, Capt. Dunbar claimed that the car was similar to the one in which witnesses for O'Neill came here to attend the trial.

Proud of His Home Town

A Question of Numbers
The Hempstead  Sentinel  says:
" War Veterans organize Ameri¬ can Legion Post. Hempstead Post should be the largest in Nassau County."
Perhaps it should be the largest in the County, but we beg to advise the Hempstead Sentinel that it was not started that way, with 15 charter members against some 6.5 or 70 i-n Freeport, nor de we expect it to get that way, although we do not antici¬ pate the proportion in Freeport will be so much larger as it was in the pe¬ titioners.

Freeport Firemen Lose Bam
The Freeport Fire Department was called out about 10:30 Saturday even¬ ing for a large blaze showing in the northwest section of the village. The large barn on the old Sylvanus Pear¬ sall estate property, now occupied by Mr. Cunningham, was all ablaze when the alarm sounded, and by the time the Department arrived it was impos¬ sible to do anything to save it. A. Gately had a considerable amount of building material stored in the barn. It is not known how the fire started. The loss is estimated at about $3,000.
Offer to Assist
American Legion
At the gathering of the War Camp Community Service Workers Monday evening a resolution was unanimously passed offering to the American Leg¬ ion all possible assistance and co¬ operation. It was also decided to of¬ fer the use of the club house to the Legion for the balance of the time it remains open, sul^ct to prior use by the W. C. C. S. only.
The ""boys" want every man who served in the World War to come out and join. They are out to have the largest Post in Nassau Coanty.

School  Notee -»
Roosevelt School Junior Red Cross has a fine exhibit of its work at Min¬ eola.
Also Home Project Workers, Tony Bartovics, Christian Vollmer, George Chilson, John Higgins and Francis Van Riper have several samples of work entered.
Roosevelt School opened on iton- day, September 8, with a very large attendance. So many new people have come into the district that a new school will soon be necessary as the grades which are double throughout are crowded.
