Warning that after Hitler's spreu
In Russia, the United states will be
"pretty close to war," Herman C
Dunker, director of the Freeport
Civic Defense Coun?il, called for a
realization of the situation which
faces the country in an address to
the Northeast Civic Association at
its September meting in V.F.W.
Hall, North Columbus avenue, last
Friday night. Pointing out that
under the Hitler blitzkrieg, things
ore different, in that It Is the civil-ians
who are attacked first, he
called for action. To combat this
situation, he said councils of de-fense

Under the civil defense, set up, he
added,, eyeryon"^ was expected to do

Mr. Dunker said that many who

Henry J. A. Collins, Deputy Nassau County Executive, called
for courage to live up to one's principles, regardless of cost, in an
address following the first fall dinner of the Long Island Chapter,
Sons of the American Revolution, Monday night in Mark's Wood*
cleft avc.
He cited two cases* first that of<»—'
a man who could not be persuaded
to change the design of a skin* de-spite
a handsome offer to do do,
and of another who permitted a
sign which was diametrically op-posed
to his political beliefs and
convictions to be emblazoned on the
sides of a building because of the
financial return involved.
"We need to get away from this
pussyfooting and vassilating atti-tude
and have men who will stand
for their principles over any
amount of money involved," he
continued. .
Mr. Collins called on Individuals
to stand up for their convictions
and to endeavor to persuade others
to do so, so that when times get
serious "we will have the type of
behavior that will stand up."
"Time was when a man's prom-ise
was as good as his bond," Mr.
Collins added. "If a man made a
.promise you knew he would keep It.
We have some memories of that
code in a few places. Today prom-ises
are made and not kept. If we
all would contribute to the keeping
of promises, we would help to over**
come the trend of the times and
then treaties would not be made #&
be broken."
