Freeport Wins at Basketball
The boys of Freeport, Troop ll, B. S. A., opened their basketball season with a victory again.st Merrick, Troop I, B. S. A., piling up the score of 43 to 7.
Feltenstein playing right forward for F/eeport, was the centre of at¬ traction, making 11 field goals and 2 fouls.
Merrick got the start by a personal foul by Brightson and this netted them ,a point. But it did not take long before Freeport had made their first field goal and after many suc¬ cessive shots by Feltenstein and Har¬ ris the half ended in favor of Free- port 18 to 3.
The second half started and it looked as though Merrick was going to push Freeport hard, but when Free- port started a little team work, Mer¬ rick waa sadly lost in the dust ior ev¬ ery time Freeport secured the ball a goal was secured.
Merrick's only field goal came in the second half. Feltenstein, Brightson and Harris with the most accurate shots procured 25 points for Freeport.
The line-up:
Freeport—Feltenstein, captain, r. f.; Brightson, I. f.; Harris, c; Jones, r. g.; Keegan, I. g.
Merrick—Philips, captain, r. f.; Ames, 1. f.; Crooks, c; Kober, r. c; Thamm, 1. g.
Referee, Charles Harris.

Contributions to United
War Work Campaign
These must now be made in Mineola. Payments are still coming to the office of the local temporary treasurer, S. F. Pearsall, who was ordered to tur his books over to the County Treas¬ ure - several weeks ago.
It does not seem proper that he should take the time and expense of advising each person separately when payments are still made to him, but such payments are simply forwarded to Mineola. Sending them direct would avoid delay.
Entered House But
Did Not Rob
The house of W. P. W. Haff on West Merfick Road was recently found with one of the doors opened but nothing evidently had been dis¬ turbed.

Following the installation Paat Commander Seckers6n pf the G. A. R. delivered an inspiring address. Re¬ freshments and a short musical pro¬ gram were also fumished.
Dismissed on
Counterfeiting Charge
For some unknovm reason, because Secret Service men do not take the public in their confidence, Peofites Triantifille of South Main Street, in the bootblack place, was arrested on a charge of passing counterfeit mon¬ ey. He was taken before a U. S. Dis¬ trict Attorney, his frjends having en¬ gaged Counselor Sidney H. Swezey to represent him, and the case speedily dismissed, presumably from all lack of evidence-
Do we want municipal ownership? The Post Office has now put through another order:
Heretofore when we wanted stamped envelopes or post cards ($40 worth the day this was written) we have made out checks and secured the goods. Now an order has been put into effect whereby only cash will be accepted for goods. The order is all right— we are not complaining a bit, but just think of the inconvenience of having to go to the post office to pay your telephone bill in cash because they will not take your check!
Public ownership looks good to us— to keep as far away from as possi¬ ble.

Activities at Senrice Qub
Our music for dancing is furnished by Johnson's Orchestra, which has been with us almost since we started. They furnish good music at a special price for these dances. By the way, this orchestra is^open for engagments for dancing any" week-day night, Sat¬ urdays excepted, of course.
"Feeding" Our Gueste
The chainnan ii the Ladies' Com¬ mittee is asked why she is soliciting funds and contributions for her work at the Club Rooma, "now that the Gov¬ emment pays tbe expense." The Gov¬ ernment does not pay a cent of the ex¬ pense. It might Be in order to remark that the War Camp Community Ser¬ vice organization, which does pay the operating expenses, is allowing to Freeport about ten times the amount raised in Freeport for this work. The budget allowed, however, quite prop¬ erly does not allfcw expenditures for refreshments. Thia is a purely Free- port feature. Since we opened up we have fumished coffee, cake and also smokes to over 100,000 soldiers and sailors, and it has all been donated by our neighbors.
It might also be in order, in con¬ nection with thia explanation, that no member of the Executive Committee, and no member of any of the several sub-committees collects any remuner¬ ation for their services—not even the %l a year we hear so much about. Canteen Work

H. C. Schluter says a customer came in and 9skt him for a "pound of that thirty cent butter." What do you mean, he was askt, and he replied he wanted some of that butter advertised in the Review. " He had reference to the "Fourteen Yeara Ago" column, which mentioned that H. C. Schluter was at that time selling best butter for SOc a Ib. It's somewhere around SOc now but nobody advertises it.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
A debate was held Friday moming in Assembly between teams elected by the two fourth year English class¬ es. Sidney Feltenstein, Marion Hague and George Baker had the affirmative side of the question, "Resolved: That the railways of the U. S. should be owne<l by the Federal Government." Ruth Brayton, Lyman Fussell and Wesley Devlin defended the negative. The rebuttal was given by Sidney Fel¬ tenstein for the affirmative and by Wesley Devlin for the negative. The judges, Supt. DuBois, Principal Jen¬ nings and Miss Roake, decided in fav¬ or of the affirmative.
The Assembly Tuesday morning was given over to the following program: "Roosevelt's Work as a Statesman," by Harold Bedell; "Twe Statesmen," by Herbert Mankin; "Japan's Part in the World War," by Harry Sekine, and "The Personality of Roosevelt," by Dorothy Gould.
Regents' examinations will be held next week, but it has been decided that because of the great amount of time lost this Fall regular school work will be carried on right through the week.
Attendance in the high school has improved yery much this week there being only about one-third as many absent as have been for the past two months.
A geperal faculty meeting was called by Supt. DuBois on Wednesday afternoon in the high school. He ad¬ dressed the teachers on the subject, "Vision,  Power and  Optimism."
On or about Monday, January 20, "The Student," Freeport High School's paper, will come out. This January number has a number of interesting articles. An editorial, "Citizenship Applied," will surely interest many of our citizens and residents. In the lit¬ erary department are some very good stories contributed by high .school members entitled, "All Over Taffy, or Taffy All Over," and "The Devotion of Jack." Besides this there are notes on school activWies, athletics and the alumni. Everyone should make it a point to read the Senior Resolutions for the New Year which are published for the first time in this issue. All persons desiring copies of "The Stu¬ dent" can procure them at the High School for twenty cents per issue or one dollar per year.

Our Dancing Resnlations
The criticism is made that the reg¬ ulations  for the  dances  at  tbe club house are too strict to suit the sold- I iers.   The answer by the House Ckim- ; mittee is terse:   "If the soldiers don't I want to abide by thosje rules, they are invited to go somewhere else for their dances."   It is fair to say that in an¬ swering this way the committee has in mind that the sokliers    won't go somewhere  else—the regulations are promulgated  by  the    Enterteinment Committee, but are exactly the same aa in aie at the big dance and enter¬ tainment hall in Camp Mills, and in (Gootiaaad oa ?¦«• S)

Elaborate Monument
for Citizens in Service
The Plan and Scope Committee held its final meeting at the Freeport Club Friday evening, 12 of thc 15 members being present.
August V. Johnson resigned as sec¬ retary and Supervisor Hiram R. Smith was appointed to succeed him.
The propositions were thoroughly and finally gone over and the commit¬ tee resolved to report back to a gen¬ eral meeting of the Conimittee of Fifty, to be held this Friday evening, recommending as follows:
That a monument be erected at a cost of about $20,000, the money to be raised by popular subscription, in honor of our Freeport citizens in service and in memory of thoae who gave their livea to the cause.
That the monument be erected in the small triangle in front of the First National Bank, provided the property could be secured at a nomi¬ nal price.
The design recommended is a very pretty one, designed by Tiffanys, and was the unanimous choice of the com¬ mittee after a monument was agrreed upon.
A committee was appointed to pro¬ vide ways and means for collecting the funds, they also to report at the meeting to be held this evening.

Gov. Smith is not in favor of an ap¬ propriation to continue the State Con-*' stabulary. All Merrick will write tha Governor to change his view, if these same police who are supposed to pro¬ tect rural communilii's will visit thia section and capture the miscreante who poisoned J. VV. Birch'.s pigs and entered the unoccupied home of WM. V. Rohlffs recently. Come on noW, all ye limbs of the law, see what you can produce.

Mineola Fair Date
Is Fixed fdt 1919
From all indications the Mineola fair grounds will soon bc released by the United Stetes Government. They have been used as a base hospital since last Summer. Col. A. W. Cutler has informed the Agricultural Society of Queens and Naasau that there are few patients at the hospital and only a few aentriea, and that from all pros¬ pects the Government will not need the fair grounds much longer. Thij means that the society, which had to abandon ite fair last fall after hold- ing one consecutively each year for seventy-seven years, will be able to hold the fair next fall.
In consequence of this expectetion, the society has announced the date for this year's fair as being Septem¬ ber 23 to 27. At the meeting of the society all ofllcers for 1918 were re¬ elected for the preoent year. They are: Robert Seaman of Jericho, preai¬ dent; Robert C. Baird of Elmhurst, vice president; Lott Vandewater, Jr., of Hempstead, secretory, and Henry W. Underhill of Jericho, treasurer. The directors of the society, includ¬ ing the officers, are: George M. Hew¬ lett, Merrick; Luke Otten, Flushing; I. Comell Remsen, Queens; John H. Vanderveer, Elmhurst and Stephen T. Willete, Roslyn.
