Village Election
Next Tueadajr
It is probable the election for vil- lag« officers next Tuesday will be a very qaiet one. There is only one of- tlee with more than one nominee, that of Police Justice. The two candi¬ dates, Albin N. Johnson and Clinton If. P^lint, are both well known ahd well qualified and it will be'mostly a matter of personal preference rather than fitness in selecting the candi¬ date for the office. Mr. Flint holds the office at present, while Mr. Johnson has been Counsel to the Villa{!:e Board of Trustees for the past year. The office pays $760 a year.
Seven propositions are to b^ voted on at this election, only one of which is of particular importance, No. 5, ap¬ propriating 110,000 for a hose wagon and pumper for Hose 4.
The other questions are as follows: No.   1—Appropriating   $15,000   for street lights.   This ia the usual propo¬ sition.
No. '^—Appropriating $12,000 for police. This is an increase of $2,000 over last year's proposition, but is the amount spent for police services over the $5000 received from fines and fees. It is a natural and normal increase.
Nos. 3 and 4 are regrulation propo¬ sitions for extending the water and light plant and do not involve any taxation.
No. !> as stated is for Fire Depart¬ ment work. The Fire Council has unanimously endorsed thi.s proposi¬ tion and urged the immediate need of this apparatus.
No. ft—Authorizing to pay for wat¬ er bonds from the light sinking fund. This seems to be a good'business prop¬ osition, rather than to borrow the mon ey at a higher rate of interest, and ought to be carried.
No. 7—Gives the Board the author ity to combine the water and light sinking funds into a general main¬ tenance fund. There does not seem to be any reason why these ought not be combined and the Board of Trustee.s is best qualified to decide as to how tbe money should be handled.
Summing up, Questions No. 1, 2, .3, 4, 6 and 7 are perfunctory and will be yoted on favorably or without any qoestion.
Question No. 6 is discussed by our Fire Department writer.
The Village Board of Trustees does aot favor the purchasing of this ap- ]parattt8 now. President Anderson says that the Board does not have any idea what is needed and thinks that the money might be better spent this year for putting the roads in shape tar handling fire calls with the pres¬ eat apparatus.

In the evening the matter of showing a generous spirit to allies and foes will be considered under the title, "Will Europe Hate Us When We Settle Up?" How deeply our people should think on the great questions of the day may be inferred by the fact O^t the New York State Guard has jeen called into tho^ field to protect life and property in Buffalo that is endangered by European agitators.
Self Supporting
In the annual report of Chief of Police Hanse, which was filed with the Village Board of Trustees last Thurs¬ day he shows that the amount recov¬ ered from stolen goods retumed and received from fines and fees was more than enough to pay the entire expens¬ es of the Police Department.
Five robberies were reported dur¬ ing the year, aside from autos, bi¬ cycles, etc., as follows:
Mr. Beach, 268 East Seaman Ave¬ nue, loss about $400; George Helm, West Merrick Road; C. D. Smith, So. Main Street; Kegel & Son, Railroad Avenue; A. Whitehouse, South Main Street. In each case goods were re- j tumed and burglars convicted except ] the first.
During the year six autos were tak¬ en from the village all of which were recovered but one.

Wednesday night, February 26, Free- port Troop 2, B. S. A., defeated Glen Cove Troop 1 by the score of 27-11.
As soon as the whistle blew Free- port was never in danger as they had everything their own way. Freeport was all over the floor at once and the teamwork was the best it has been during the year. Harris, who was playing center, scored the first bas¬ ket by an excellent shot which stood the visitors on their head but it was not long before another was scored and soon after the half ended in fav¬ or of Freeport, 10-6.
Ihe second half started, and Harris andPeltensteinplaying forwards were scoring while Gissel and Clif Harris scored also, and these four netted 17 points in the second half.

HoHe 2  House Warming
Invitations are being issued for "house warming" of the new house of Hose 2 next Monday evening, March 17. Henry S. Starr, Walter B. Coz zens and Frank Johns are the commit¬ tee in charge.
Vote for the i'umper for Hose 4
Our question to be voted upon at the election next Tuesday is Question No. 5 on the ballot to be voted by tax¬ payers only.
As usual with a proposition of this kind, it is meeting considerable oppo¬ sition, but the members of this com¬ pany are workng hard and the propo¬ sition will probably carry. .\ brief explanation may not be amiss.
By "pumper" or triple combina¬ tion wagon is meant simply this: A combined hose and chemical wagon, very similar to Hose 1 and Hose 3 (not Hose 2, which is a straight hose wagon) with the addition of a gaso¬ line pump. These pumps vary in size from 250-300 gallons per minute to 1,200-1,500 gallons or n^ore. The gas¬ oline pump is driven by the same mot¬ or which runs the car. Anyone who can properly run an automobile can run a gasoline pumping engine, and it can be placed in service npon reach¬ ing a fire just as soon as the neces¬ sary hydrant and hose connections can be made. It is probable that the department officials plan a machine of about 750 gallons for Freeport.
Similar engines are in use in sev¬ eral neighboring villages: Hempstead has a 750 gallon American-La Fiance; Rockville Centre has a smaller Wat- erous; Lynbrook has a small Garford; Long Beach has a 900 gallon Robin¬ son; Mineola, Oyster Bay, Glen Cove and others have American-La France pumpers.
It is hard to say when a need does or does not exist for a machine of this kind. Possibly it never exists until the big blaze comes and then it is too latel
The Fire Council thinks it exists now! A new apparatus must be se¬ cured for Hose 4 at ouce and a regu¬ lar combination wagon wuuU cost aboot $6,000. Voting yes on this proposition will mean a $5,000 nvest- ment which when it is needed will pro¬ duce a $10,000 return should fires oc¬ cur in fome sections which have been for years a source of anxiety to fire department officials.

RED CROSS NOTES
The American Red Cross is to con¬ duct a big drive from March 24 to 31 for used clothing to be sent to the destitute refugees of devastated coun¬ tries. The Freeport Branch urges you to send all clothing which you can spare to the Red Cross rooms, Brook¬ lyn Avenue.
The Freeport Branch had a rush order for wounded head caps. They were all finished promptly with the assistance of the Merrick Auxiliary, and shipped on Tuesday by the Red Cross motor truck.
The Freeport Branch is now send¬ ing weekly to the Red Cross Diet Kit¬ chen, Base Hospital, Camp Mills, 30 quarts of milk, 6 dozen eggs and $10 in cash, also $10 in cash from the Merrick Auxiliary. This money is spent by Mrs. A. Butler Duncan, the chairman of the diet kitchen, to pur¬ chase ice cream, cocoa, fruit and oth¬ er nutritious delicacies which our sick and wounded soldiers otherwise would not have.
By reason of the generous dona¬ tions of our residents, jellies and pre¬ serves are also sent to the diet kit¬ chen. We urge that still more jellies and preserves be left at the Red Cross rooms and the committee will deliver them to the hospital.
The Nassau County Chapter thru the assistance of its branches has been able to furnish 25,000 dishes to sick boys since January 1, I9l9.
AJl persons wishing to join a class iit dietetics will please give their name to Mrs. B. M. Asch, chairman nurs¬ ing activities. Archer Street.
In this course is taught the compar¬ ative value of food, the necessity for
well balanced diet for sick or well and thc practical application of the dietetic principals to buying, cooking and serving food in the home for ev¬ ery day meals.
This course consists of 15 lessons and will be given for not less than 20 pnpils. With a class of 20 the cost is $2 per pupiL
