Freeporters must give a moun-tain
of scrap'metals and rubber
as their contribution toward pro-viding
the sinews of war to help
defeat the Nazis .and Japanese.
Nothing less will please Willis M.
Summers, chairman of the village
salvage committee.
Fleets of trucks will tour the
area north of Sunrise highway
starting Sunday at 9 a.m., to pick
up all salvage material in that
section of the village: 'The opera-tion
will be repeated on Sunday,
Oct. 11, south of the Sunrise high-way.
In the business area the
collection will be taken Tuesday
or Wednesday of next week.
This gives people in the northern
half of the village until Sunday to
rummage and scour their attics,
cellars and garages to gather up
every ounce of metal and rubber
on which they can lay their hands.
Those living In the southern half
have another week, but it would be
well not to . delay the salvage
search.
Mr. Summery explained bhat ev-erything
made of metal and rub-ber
will be acceptable; except tin
cans. He said there were no fa-cilities
any where In this area nt
present to which to take cans to
be smelted, but expressed the hope
they would be provided shortly. /
Put Scrap on Sidewalk
According to. the plan all scrap
should be placed on the sidewalks
before 9 o'clock. Tills may be done
Saturday night, but it is deemed
safer to wait until Sunday morn-ing.
Preceding tlie trucks. Boy
Scouts and other lads will visit
houses 'advising home owners the
vehicles are on the" way. By this
method it is hoped all material
can be collected systematically and
it will not be necessary to .cover
any areas a- second time in the
present drive.
_The village has been divided
into seventeen districts each under
a captain. These districts . corre-spond
to the air %ald wardens*
posts/and the Senio'r Wardens are
co-operating with the salvage
chairmen" in spreaamg-Che new3_of
the collections. Each captain has
named a committee of residents
in his area. These committees are
to visit each house In their dis-tricts
before the collection day to
inform everyone of just what Is
wanted and answer questions on
the subject.
Village Clerk William J. Marvin
is chairman of transportation. With
the Department of Sanitation
trucks as a nucleus he is rounding
up a fleet of vehicles with the
'hope of getting enough to com-plete
the collections as early as
possible. Village Trustee Asa M.
Trenchard is chairman of man-power.

Each truck will be' operated by
tlie agency contributing it. But
men and boys will be needed to

Freeport will get its rationing

of rationing for Nassau
County advised the members of the
Lions Club at their dinner meeting
In Otto's Tuesday night.
He said the government desired
to get free space if possible. Such
space was offered here, he added,
but was, entirely unsatisfactory.
This was rejected. Then came the
search for suitable quarters. Thest
have been obtained but the owner
has insisted the Government pay

refused-, to include them in the
Tent. ./

After hearing n score of residents
of the Frecport Bay Estates tell
stories of alleged abuse by bus
drivers, failure to live up to sched-ules
and refusal to follow the routa
in the franchise, the Village Board
at Its meeting Monday night de-nied
an application of the Dileo
Bus Lines. Inc., for permission to
discontinue the operation of the
route through the Bay Estates.
George V. Fleckensteln, counsel
for the company, said the company
operated a line .from the Bus Ter-mina;
to Baldwin Harbor. He add*
ed that people going to Baldwin
objected to the delay caused by go-
Ing around the loop and insisted
the company was losing $30 &

made early ii) August in which he
said only 29 passengers used the
buses on August 3, 34*lhe next day
and 35 the third day.. ..

of the opinion they were not com-pelled
to do so.

take her to Main dt.
After an nrgument, she wrote, he
finally backed up and then instead
of taking her to the point directed,

Nothing less will please Willis M. Summers, chairman of the village salvage committee. Fleets of trucks will tour the area north of Sunrise highway starting Sunday at 9 a.m., to pick up all salvage material in that section of the village: 'The opera-tion will be repeated on Sunday, Oct. 11, south of the Sunrise high-way. In the business area the collection will be taken Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. This gives people in the northern half of the village until Sunday to rummage and scour their attics, cellars and garages to gather up every ounce of metal and rubber on which they can lay their hands. Those living In the southern half have another week, but it would be well not to . delay the salvage search. Mr. Summery explained bhat ev-erything made of metal and rub-ber will be acceptable; except tin cans. He said there were no fa-cilities any where In this area nt present to which to take cans to be smelted, but expressed the hope they would be provided shortly. / Put Scrap on Sidewalk According to. the plan all scrap should be placed on the sidewalks before 9 o'clock. Tills may be done Saturday night, but it is deemed safer to wait until Sunday morn-ing. Preceding tlie trucks. Boy Scouts and other lads will visit houses 'advising home owners the vehicles are on the" way. By this method it is hoped all material can be collected systematically and it will not be necessary to .cover any areas a- second time in the present drive. _The village has been divided into seventeen districts each under a captain. These districts . corre-spond to the air %ald wardens* posts/and the Senio'r Wardens are co-operating with the salvage chairmen" in spreaamg-Che new3_of the collections. Each captain has named a committee of residents in his area. These committees are to visit each house In their dis-tricts before the collection day to inform everyone of just what Is wanted and answer questions on the subject. Village Clerk William J. Marvin is chairman of transportation. With the Department of Sanitation trucks as a nucleus he is rounding up a fleet of vehicles with the 'hope of getting enough to com-plete the collections as early as possible. Village Trustee Asa M. Trenchard is chairman of man-power. Volunteer Helper* Wanted Each truck will be' operated by tlie agency contributing it.
