The organization will be the
outgrowth of the Freeport Unit
of the Women's Victory League,
which has withdrawn from the
New York City organization so it
can devote its interests to Freeport
men alone, Mrs. Wordcn E. Wlnnc,
who has headed the group, an-nounced.
No definite name has been chos-en
for the new organization, as
this is to be left up to the or-anizatlon
meeting on Tuesday
when officers will be elected and a
program of activities arranged.
The Women's Home Service Lea-gue
was organized a year ago and
the name changed to Victory Lea-gue
after the United States enter-ed
the war. During that year the
women raised $500 and collected
numerous articles which were sent
to the men in the camps. How-eve:,
JdEra, Winne and others came
to ' Ine'' ''co
would have a greater appeal if It
concentrated on working for Free-port
service men and consequently
withdrew from the parent body.
Mrs. Winnc has suggested that
it would be an excellent Idea to
start collecting articles in Septem-ber
to make up Christmas pack-ages
with which to remember ev-ery
Freeport man who can be
reached.
The invitation cites the fact that
at a meeting of the Women's Vic-tory
League held in its headquar-ters
on Grove street, on Tuesday,
June 16, It was voted to withdraw
its affiliation with the New York
Women's Victory League, and con-tinues:
"We are now organized as the
Freeport Women's War Service
whose objective is-lo render serv-ice
to our own men and women
now serving in our armed forces.
We urge you to attend our .next
meeting oh Tuesday, July 7,. to be
held in the- Board Room . of the
Municipal Suildlng a,t 2
This- is your opportunity to
your real feeling in service to all
cur selectees and volunteers. There
'is need for your cooperation in
reorganizing,"
The communication Is signed
"Committee for Organization."
Mrs. Winne asked the LEADER
to announce that if any parents
of men in the service failed to re-ceive
a written invitation, their
attendance at the meeting was sin-desired.

Nassau County has been called
on to provide 1UO nurses for serv-ice
in the Army and Navy by Sep-tember
1, as part of the national
quota of 10,000, and this will add
to the shortage already existing,
according to Miss Loretta M. Doty,
whose office is at 115 North Bergen
place, She Is director of the Nurs-ing
Bureau of Nassau and SufTolk
Counties. Miss Doty said that
Nassau County institutions were
under-staged and outlined a cam-paJgn
designed to provide addi-tional
nurses to meet the situation.
The campaign Is three-fold, cov-ering
recruitment, enrollment and
replacement.
Girls who were graduated from
high schools during June < are
needed as recruits for the nursing
Held. While tTiere are no nurses'
training schools at any of the
hospitals In this county, Miss Doty
said that if young women interest-ed
would communicate with her
she would advise them as to the
course to pursue to enter train-ing
neld.
The enrollment is for graduate
nurses for government service, and
the replacement Is to be met by
•retired nurses who are willing to
again don the cap and gown for
the duration or for as short a pe-riod
as a month at a time. The
situation Is serious, Miss Doty em-phasizes^
In appealing for as many
retired nurses to return to duty
so aa to prevent Nassau inatltu*
tlons* from having to curtail their
services.
Contending that the dimout south
of the Sunrise highway had cre-ated
a dangerous condition for au-tomoblhste,
the Board of Direc-tors
of the Fj report Chamber of
Commerce at a luncheon Tuesday
In Al White's tavern voted to ap-peal
to the Village Board to re-medy
the situation.

on South Long Beach avenue, and
Pine street, where numerous cars
are parked in front of apartment
houses, as most serious, though
hey asserted individually-parked
•ars constituted a menace no mat-er
how slowly a driver might be
operating his automobile.
It was suggested that owners
of parked cars be required to keep
their tail lights lit as a guide to
drivers, after several had told of
trouble experienced in threading
their way through the dimly UehL-ed
streets
Complaints were raised concern-ing
the lack -of an agreement-among
the dJrecUng henda of the

Members complained that after
Director Herman C. Dunker had
placed the ^tamp of approval on
their pi a res of business, auxiliary
policemen and wardens were not
and issued contrary or-ders.
It was suggested that notices
indicating stores had received offi-cial
approval should be given mer-chants
for posting in their place
of business.
Sidney Abel son said that if tne
merchants could be represented on
the War Council, the problem
could be settled without loss of
time.- He was about to move that

that It had been suggested that
