Ten Cent Minimum
Isn't Service Chorge
Sometimes people get mixed up
on signs, road signs, window signs
and signs on tables. For instance
there is a sign in Vlebrock's which
says "A minimum charge of* ten
cents for service at table."
Now, that doesn't mean you have
to pay an extra charge of a dime
to sit down, not at all. What it
actually means is that you should
order something costing at least a
dime, If you want table service. If
your menu selection is a sandwich
and a glass of milk the charge is
twenty cents, not twenty cents plus
a dime. You always get what you
pay for at Vlcbrock's and there is
no extra charge for the comfort
and service.

Thomas Boy land, of 261 Kirk-man
ave., Elment, is a hero among
the employees of the Prompt Fam-ily
Laundry of
having thwarted
Hemps Lead for
an attempt to
hold him up at West End ave., and
Carey" pi., last Friday night.
Boyland was just about to turn
west Into Carey pi., while driving
couth on West End ave.. when a
jnan about Ave feet ten inches in
height and . wearing a chauffeur's
cap jumped on -the running board
outside the driver's seat and order-ed
him to stop the car, turn off
his lights and get out of the truck.
"With this the thug attempted to
drag him out of the seat. Instead
of yielding, Boy land grabbed the
steering wheel with his rigiht hand
and the side of the doorway with
his left. Then he let, fly with both
feet, catching the man in the
stomach and sending him sprawl-ing
Into the roadway. Springing out
of the truck Boyland landed a
punch on hi& jaw as he attempted

to his truck. In doing so he had
to pass near the man's feet.
Though on his back, the bandit
managed to trip him up and send
him to the ground. The wouia-be
hold-up man had been armed
with a length of iron pipe which
.he had been unable to bring into
play. This he lost In the melee and
as he regained -his feet he fled in
the darkness. ..
Boyland escaped with a dig on
the right cheek below his right eye
caused by the stranger's nails or*'a
ring, and a bump on the right
knee. He said he would be unable
to identify his assailant because
he was unable to get a good look
at his face which was partly con-cealed
by the peak .of his cap. The
driver had more than $100 in col-lections
which he.succeded in sav-

To Store Cor on Property
Is an automobile trailer u picture vehicle or a hnupe? This
was the poser put up io the Zoning Hoard of Appeals at its monthly
session Jn the Municipal Building Thursday nipht. And the pleas-ure
vehicle won out.
The matter came up in the ap-peal
of Dr. Florence Winiarz of
265 South Bay view avenue, from
the denial of Superintendent of
Buildings Wilbert F. DeMott of her
application for permission to store
the trailer, which she and her fa-ther,
George E. VanNostrand, used
all summer, in the rear of the lot
at the South Bayvicw avenue ad-dress.
Village ordinances permit the
storing of pleasure cars on ones
property but had the trailer been
ruled a building it would have been
subject to building line and other
restrictions.
Alfred T. Davison, the chairman,
suggested that the trailer be re-garded
as an accessory to a plea-sure
car. Dr. Winiarz added that
it was insured as such. She said
the vehicle would be hidden from

the fault for "this- lay with the

Civilian defense la the buffer be-tween
the Army and the people,
Col. Edward C. O. Thomas, direct-or
of Clvllinn Defense In Naasau
County, told the members of the
Long Island Chapter, Sons of the
American Revolution, nt their
monthly dinner meeting Monday
night- In die Preeport Elka club
house.
He pointed out that while the
Government is engaged in all-out
war efforts, civilians., must--.direct .
their attention to protecting their
local areas. The needs will become
greater as 'the war progresses, he
predicted, in calling attention to
the fact that all who ran do so,
must devote part of their time to
assisting in this work.
Col. Thomas was introduced by
Sanford T. Davison, and his topic
waa "What Is Expected of Civilian
Defense In Nassau County." He
cited the history of the develop-ment
of civilian defense., saying
that th& work oj the Office of.
Civilian Defense, (TT^QeNKragepoy,
Js only advisory^. whJJo.. the r State
Legislature last May enacted the
War Emergency Act for the en-forcement
of civil protection* with
a War Council headed by the
Governor, and a director In every
county and city throughout the
state,
Thia set-up he added is to
be continued for the duration of
the, war.
Naaaau County. Col. Thomas
continued, has been designated as
a military area by the eastern
theatre of the Army -under ex-ecutive
order, and Is practically
under martial law. He spoke of the
development of the auxiliary police
nnd air raid wurdens. He said the
County police force was being de"
pleted by men being called Into
service, and that the need for aux-iliary
police wns almost desperate!
-.^'Wlthouj _ the Auxiliary . Police I.
don't know what I would do." he
said J.He compared the past when
bright lights were considered es-sential
to prevent crime, with dim-out
conditions, and "asseLedJ'ihat

Iemwhich-& being solved only with "

He referred to the trafQc light
situation, In which the $tate had
refused to co-ope rate by screening
out thp lights under its jurisdic-tion.
He told of how finally he is-sued
an order for this to be done,
and said he was awaiting a decis-ion
in Albany as to whether this
would be obeyed or ignored.
Col Thomas pointed to the limit-ed
assistance at his disposal He
said he was supposed to have jur-isdiction
over 22 divisions and 110
