By C h a r l e s J. IMcDermott, J r.
Colonel Hynes, restauranteur,
of Manhasset tolls about the
couple who came to his place
and had dinner and strolled
around the grounds. Suddenly the
man came rushing in demanding
rebate. "Why?" asked the
Colonel. "You got tennis courts
out there," replied the irate
customer. "And nobody told us
and we didn't play and we gotta
go now and we want a rebate."
"The deuce with such a racket,"
replied the Colonel. . . . "The
Kissing Link" is the name of a
play to be given by the Nassau
County Republican recruits in
Garden City. . . Captain Kidd
may never have left anything in
Nassau County but the barns in
Glen Cove seem to be full of
Gold Certificates and they're not
cigar coupons either. Eddie Max-well,
who found them was spend-ing-
them and was put in the
cooler. What would anyone else
do; use them to start fires?
Colonel Lindberg, we hear, is
living in Norihport. Remember
when he left Roo.sevelt Field for
Paris and points east ? . . Angelo
Cutalo of Huntington charged
Miss Ethel Albertson of Hunting-ton
Station of lifting forty-five
dollars from his pocket. Later
Cutalo admitted that he had
previously stolen forty-five dol-lars
from Jacob Love of Hunt-ington.
What we want to know
Is: what happened to the other
eight bucks? . . The Brooklyn

PLAINEDGE COUPLE CELEBRATE
60th WEDDING ANNIVRESARY
Mr. and IMrs. Ambrose G.
Whaley of Union Avenue, Plain-edge,
celebrated their 60th Wed-ding
Anniversary last Saturday.
They held open hoas;o all day arjd
received about 150 guests. Among
those who visited the couple were
friends and relatives from PJatts-burg
and Peekskill, Plainfield
and Basking Ridge, N. J., Mrs,
Albert Wilson of Basking Ridge,
N. J., a niece of Mrs. Whaley,
took care of the arrangements
for the party,
Mr. and Mrs. Whaley were
married on June 16, 1881, at the
Methodist parsonage in Hicks-ville.
Mr. Whaley was born at
a place about two miles from
his present home, 84 years ago.
He was the youngest of 12 chil-dren.
He worked at the black-smith
trade until ten years ago
when he retired.
Mrs. Whaley, the former Miss
Loretta Austin, was born in Am-ityville
81 years ago and lived
there up to the time of her mar-riage.
She has three brothers.
Mr. and Mrs. Whaley have lived
at their home in Plainedge for
59 of their married years. They
are both active members of the
Methodist Church of Bethpage.
The continuation of Central
Avenue through to Garden City
was deemed the quickest route
from Mitchel Field, our nearest
Army post to the Grumman and
Repul'lic Aircraft factories. Con-struction
of such a highway
would give defense units quick
access to the plants in an emer-gency.
Discussion was entered
upon by membere as to the best
procedure necessary to bring
about immediate action.
The decision of the council to
contact Supervisors Harry Tap-pen
and Holly Patterson, of the
Town.s of Oyster Bay and Iiemp-stead,
respectively, mot with the
approval of all the members pres-ent.
The council appointed a com-mittee
to contact the Super-visors
and start the ball rolling.
j>,Ir. Lloyd Decider was ap-pointed
chairman of the com-mittee.
P a v e m e n t of S t e w a r t A v e n uo
It was announced at the meet-ing
that the pavement of Stewart
Avenue for which the council has
long agitated will start in about
six to eight weeks. The bids have
been let out and as soon as all
are returned work on the project
will start.
This project is part of the
program of the county to im-prove
various highways in this
vicinity in connection with the
defense program.
