Thc regular monthly nieeling of the .Neighborhood Workers vas held Monday, January 8, at the home of Mrs. Kred Storey, on Weat Merrick road.
The Association is desirous of thanking the public for tbeir help in making po.s.slhlc the dlslribi.tion of two hundred rhristmas stockings In Freeport, Baldwin and Roosevelt.
We hope that those who fliled these stockings got aa much pleasure *nd joy out of their generosity as the little tola who received thera. Not only did the children benefit hy these red stockings, but many old people, the shul-lns, rceeived a Christinas atoc'iing filled with fruits and jellies whic'i we rc gri'utly appreciated by the poor old souls
The aHKOciaiion i.s also thankful to those who f;ave .Mrs. SchOley, of th'j Nelghhorhoo.l Workers, such generoii.s deinaiion,i )f nioney. drcs.'-.ed dolls, fiiiits.

My atlenlion is oalled to an item in your la:,t i:s.-ue with the heading j "Who Mixed the Fire Calls."
This failure to get accurate calls [ is OIK- of thc biggest handicaps our [ firemen have to contend with, ami ' there will hi no iniprovemeni until a real flre alarm system Is installed j In our village We recently had two j flre calls in the eastern section of the village, in each of which a mau called up and said. "There is a fire-! blow the whist'ic,' or something ,'iimi- i lar, and hung up the receiver with-j out giving any location whatever. At ; tho flre on Ocean avenue the only ' thing the man al the power house! could find < ut was one slreet loca- | tion, and that street over a mile loag. j It is rather to his credit that ho j guessed within two blocks of the right ; place.
Notwithstanding our efforts to in- ' struct our citizens in the proper way i to send in a tire call, either throu,r?h \ ignorance on the part of new resi- - dents, or excitement, the wrong num j ber or no number is given,-and it i,s j nol unusual for tho person cal lim; , to .idve a phone or streei number rather than a fire call uumbt;-. 1' the person ciilling will tell where? tin, flre is, for instance, "Ocean avenue, three doors south of Merrick road,' always giving the nearest cross street the m.in giving in the alarm c-an dn- Iei-r,:ine the call nnmber from his chart, >«iil where they say "my hous,,'
