attic if handled promptly without
starting a serious Are that could
not be controlled.

VHIage to Appeal
Toxicob Verdict
The Village Board In executive
aessloii at its last meeting voted
to appeal from the decision of
the"official referee In
port Taxi 7>wherB'
jparklng" its cara_on the.%groun4s
.of the. Jang..JslanS "Railroad Sta-tion.
' . '
•As a result of this decision, it
became necessary for the board to
set aside 50 feet along the curb
of the south side of Railroad av?.,
to provide space for the taxlcabs
owned by the association. The
Board, having been a party to the
original lease, granted the asso-ciation,
Is concerned in the deci-sion
and is taking the appeal' as
an interested party.
lii the meantime frlendj of the
members of the Taxi Owners' group
are concerned over the situation
and are urging that patrons con-tinue
to support the association so
phat those permitted to park at
the station wll not set a monopoly
on the business in the village.
They point out that in the past

Residents of Freeport are to be given another chance at 8,30
o'clock tomorrow night to ascertain whether the air raid warnings
in the village are sufficient to really warn the people if there really
is an air raid in this vicinity.
The test given on Tuesday at®
noon was a dismal failure.
Throughout the community there
were people who failed to hear the
noise devices, either sirens, bells
or what not. Had there been an
air raid at night, there is little
doubt but that the majority of
the people would have slept bliss-fully
until the bombs began to
faTL
In-«.fact no church bells were
rung and in every way the indi-cations
were that the Freeport
Defense authorities had fallen
down on the job of preparing tlpe
residents of the village for the
test. Notices which were to have
been distributed In advance of
the tryout were not given to the
air raid wardens until Tuesday
night when they met In the Mu-nicipal
Building.
So that perhaps, as a result of
being forewarned, more people
will hear the sirens wnen they
are sounded at 8.30 pjn., tomorrow.
Weller Seeks
Rations Board
Branch OMIces
. Tall* G.O.P. Club
Y^--
Hope that, a ^branch office of
Nassau County Rationing
Board, and perhaps two, would
be opened on the south shore to
eliminate the necessity of having
to go to Mineola,, was held out by
Chairman Augustus B. Welier in
an address to the Freeport Re-publican
Club at its monthly meet-ing
In the Spartan club last Thurs-day
night.
Mr. Weller traced* the history of
the rationing movement. He said
the Government decided everyone
was entitled to his share of certain
items and that the only way of as-suring
this was to ration them.
"Unless we observe the letter
and spirit of *3ie regulations we
will not be contributing our full
share in standing with our boys
at the front lines/' Mr. Weller con-tinued.
"We want the boys to go
out with a sense that we are ob-serving
"t^e regulation--and going-along
with__them by contributing
^something to the war ?ffort."
the people- in. Nassatr
had- made- & remarkable
showing an<f Jiad a gredt-deal to be
proud of and thankful for. He
commended the Intelligent work of
those, including superintendents,
principals, teachers and volunteers,
who had handled the registration
for the sugar and gasoline ration^
Ing, adding that the people of Mas-sau
County appeared to appreciate
more than others in* some places
the reasons for Che rationing pro-gram
and indicated a willingness to
go along with it.
Mr. Weller said die gasoline ra-tioning
registration was taken with-out
adequately informing the peo-ple
of what it was all about. He
declared "X" cards ought never to
have been uaod and certainly not
without a better understanding of
the matter.
The sugar registration, Mr. Wili-er
added, showed Nassau County
to have a population of 430,000
instead of 413,000 aa Indicated by
the $enaua.
