One eif the prettiest romances re¬ corded in this village has ^resulted in the marriage of Miss Marjorie Boyn¬ ton Smilh, the charming daughtcV of .\lr. and Mrs. Samuel R.

It required extra work to decide tbe su¬ premacy of the- Freepoii and Easl Itockaway schools.
Tbe bee was for students of the ele¬ mentary classes, and twenty schools, each represented by teams (if four, t-onipeted. The .-ontesi revealed the fact that the scho<il.s are turniiiK out t-xcellent spellers. The old charge tbat students graduaiiig from the local schools nol being able to spell has

.Miss Smith phoned her many friends e)f the e-bangi! in the marriage ar-

. OKIielalH Exonerat^'d
The failure of the Nassau County Oiand Jury lo Hnd an indictment against Supervisor Hiram R. Smith and County I'ontroller Earle J. Ben¬ nett, after liearing testimony given hy former County ("ontioller John Lyoii. ¦ is equivalent to an exoneration by the Orand Jury of Supervisor Smith and Ctmtroller Bennett from the eharges which Lyon made against them to the effect that they had unlawfully con¬ sented to the expenditure of monies from the 1!)17 Road Maintenance Fund to meet debts created in road work during the year PJ16. Controller Ben¬ nett, who appeared before the Grand Jury, stated (hat be bad acted upon the advice of former State Controller Sohmers. who bad Informed him that the highway funds for each succeed¬ ing year were continuous, and that a County Controller and Supervisor are not confined to the funds set aside for one particular year to pay the debts accruing in that year, but may, if necessary, draw upon a succeeding budget.
In drawing upon 1917 txinds to pay debts that arosi| In 11I16, Supervisor Smith and Controller Bennett acted { upon the Slate Controller's decision.
During the r<yent campaign for Town oflSces Lyon hotly assailed Su¬ pervisor Smith and Controller Ben¬ nett, in speeches throughout tlie town¬ ship, for their acts In connection with the spending of highway funds. In spite of Lyon's speeches the electors of the Town returned Supervisor Smith to cfflce by a substantial ma¬ jority over bis opponent, Ernest S. Randall.

MRS. SWEZEY HEAD OF LOCAL RED CROSS
The crowded meeling at the .Metho¬ dist Church Sunday Scbool rooms on lasl Tbursday afternoon portiayed he¬ yond a doubt that F'reeport is fully awake to tbe pressing needs of (hi.s country for preparedness in the pres¬ ent crisis of our international affairs. Freepori did not lake ten monlhs to "wake up" as did Great Britain. We are wide awjike and almosi dressed, ready to go wherever and almost whenever we get our marching or¬ ders.
Behind the liatlle line on every fleld of warfare stands the Red Crosd. Like a sheltering mantle held out by a loving mother this greal organization of well planned and scientific sym¬ pathy stands ready when the smoke has cleaied away to alleviate the hav¬ oc scatteied hy our most modern and splendid instruments of torture. Tbe Red t:ioss is the twentieth century's tears of conscience oser its sins of omission toward civllizalon.
And Freeport is doing her bit.

iiP'ierslood that Freeport lost because yotiiig Flenimiiig missed his word. The sri-HU've part is that he did make fhe mistake, .and thus it Is noteworthy.
In justice to East Hot-kaway, the names of the winners should be made known. They were Dorothy Claire and Robert .MacPherson, both one hundred per cent sludents, and Clarence Vitta and Winifred- Combs. The schools finished In the following order with the points scored as follows:

Tbe contest was a comi)lete success. The pick of the schools contending Monday w 111 he tuned up for the coun ty championship at .Mineola. The winner of the county bee will be sent to compete in the State e-hampionships in June. Ward C.

for it stepped out of its s'waddllng clothes as an auxiliary of the Hemp¬ stead blanch and became a separate branch of tbe Nassau Chapier of the .-\merican Red Cross.
Very notable results were obtained by tbe auxiliary during its short life, and at the advice of the executive committee of the larger body it was thought best to enlarge the scope and possibilities of the work in this field as Freeport is large enough and Is strong enough to support lis own branch.
The Freeport Branch was formally launched as such and the following offlcers elected: Chairman Mrs. Sid¬ ney Holmes Swezey: vice chairman, .Mrs. Alfred T. Davison; s^retary, Miss Gladys Storey; treasurer. Miss Edna E:idrldge. Executive committee, the above ofBcers and Dr. Curtis and Mrs. Hammond. Membership chair¬ man, Mrs. G. C.
