Children's Glasses
Piping Rock Feature
The -forty-first annual Piping
Rock Horse Show, will be held at
Locust Valley, from Sept. 12 to 14.
The prize list, which was mailed
to exhibitors during the early part
of this month, features the same
outstanding events which have
made this Horse Show so notable
In the last few years. In addition-,
because the show is being held
before the commencement of the
school year, .there will be an un-usually
large number of classes for
children.
There are several classes for pony
jumpers, and a class for hunt
teams of three to be ridden by
children who have not reached
their eighteenth birthday.
The American Horse Shows As-sociation
Medal Class for Junior
members of the association, which
•was introduced in 1P42 for the first
time at Piping Rock, will again
be held. In addition there will be
the National Horse Show Equita-tion
Event for children, and the
A. S. P. C. A., Horsemanship Event
over fences.
A novel feature which proved-ex-tremely
popular in 1942 will be re-peated,
namely, the Horsemanship
Information Bee In which children
will lie questioned" orally with re-epcct
to their knowledge of horse-manship
and riding.
Free port Junior A. L Nine -Split s
Two Games Despite / -Hit Pitching
Despite superb pitching, the William Clinton Story Post A. L.
junior baseball it-am got only an even break in the first of two
games against other Junior Legion nines from various parts of the
country playing in Washington.
Monday, Harry Owens and Ros-well
Hunt held the New York-Le-gion
Juniors to a single hit ami
won by a score of 9 to 4. O:
Tuesday, Angelo Palmeri went the
route against the Cleveland nine
again limited the opposition to a
single safety, yet lost by a. count
of 2 to 1. Palmeri was denied a
no-hitter by a scratch single in
the opening frame, after which he
proceeded to mow down the opposi-tion
until the ninth inning when
two errors, a walk and a balk al-lowed
the mia-westerners to score
twice and defeat the locals.
Manager Joseph F. Glacken and
Past Commander Robert D. Camp-bell,
representing the Legion Post
are'in Washington with the team.
' The Story Post nine, which won
eight of the nine games played in
the. second round of the Nassau
County tournament, was selected
to represent the county In Wash-'
ington at a league meeting in Mal-verne
last Friday night.
Rockville-jCentre, which- was giv-ing
Freeport a- ^tough race, was
ruled out of the picture when it
was discovered Art Raynor, the
pitcher, was Ineligible because of
his age to participate in the tour-nament,
and the games in which
he particitated were declared for-feited.
» Mayor -Cyril C. Ryan gave the
boys a send off' before they started

Wood's Proposals
For G.I. Housing
Hit By Veterans
Trustee Accused of
Playing Politics to
Please Neighbors
Resentment of local veterans
against Village Trustee Walter J.
Wood over his action In killing
the ,plan for a O.I. housing de-velopment
on South Grove st.,
continued to smolder during the
Week. Mr. Wood made several pro-posals
for meeting the situation.
which spokesmen for the veterans
have asserted fall to meet the situ-ation.
As a result things are just
where—they— were — when — Asa— Ar
Trenchard, chairman of the Free-port
Veterans' Agency started to
see a solution to the problem nearly
a year ago.
Peeling against Mr. Wood Is very
strong. A spokesman for the Vet-erans'
Housing Committee of Wil-liam
Clinton Story Post, A.L., said:
;"Mr. Wood is playing politics
with the veterans in an effort to
please his neighbors ajong South
Grove st., who didnt want the area
developed with houses for veter-ans."

erection of 'houses with a floor
space of 700 square feet per family,
whereas the present minimum is
800 square feet. This was done to
permit the erection of pre-fabrl-cated
houses of a size to come
within the means of a veteran
earning from -$40 to $50 a week.
Four Favored Plan
These houses would have 740
square feet per family, only 60
le$s than the 800 now required,-,.
Mayor Cyril -C. Ryan and Trustees
Horace F. Carpenter. Joseph H
Gallo and Leonard D. B. Smith
voted for the ordinance making
the zoning change. Mr, Wood voted
against it. As it was a matter re-quiring
unanimous voie, his action
killed the proposal.
He thereupon proposed that the
village zoning ordinance be amend-ed
to permit the smaller houses to
be erected in any Residence A
zone by veterans who succeeded in
obtaining a variance from the
Zoning Board of Appeals.
Costs of Lots Too High
Veterans -pointed out that not
only was such a proposal of doubt-ful
legality, but jDverlooked the Tact
building sites could not be-obtained
at the low cost in other- areas it
was planned to let the veterans
have them in the South Grove st.
tract. The increase cost for land,
they added, would make the ex-pense
Involved too great for the
average veteran.
Mr. Wood next suggested that
application be made to the State
Division of Housing for the de-velopment
of a housing project for
veterans. He said also th.at in the
coming Mineola tax sale "we an-ticipate
there will be at least one
or two large plots available in lo-cations
suitable for low rental

ONE THING WE LACK—PAID SUBSCRIPTIONS
THE LEADER lacks one qualification to be included In a select
circle of weekly papers'that la receiving-~ihe choice of National. Adver-tising,
named brands and the like. That is pre-pald subscription circu-lation
that can be audited so as to substantiate the figures it furnishes
prospective advertisers and agencies In soliciting advertising.
This -type of advertising would be available in addition to increased
local advertislngv~if--we had those $E-a-year subscriptions In sufficient
mftnbers. And my! what oodles of additional local -new* -we -would
have-to fill the extra pages those advertisement would occupy. We're
printing eight pages a week these days, but there won't be any addi-tional
cost when the paper grows to 10 pages, or even 20 or Z4.
That's the kind of paper Freeport'needs and we're going to give
It ,to the oeople just as soon as we can qualify -for the advertising
that's available.
Subscriptions are coming in by every tna»t but not in large enough
a volume. Send in your subscription today.

-Thus the prospects are
bright for an early start of the
work, in this vicinity, that will
benefit the entire water front and
probably lead to incidental im-provements.
Mayor Ryan cited the marked
increase in boat traffic and point-ed
out great difficulties now en-
,'ountered by all navigation inter-ests
because of the -narrowness of
;he Swift creek connection between
Long creek and Randall bay. He
also brought to Congressman Hall's
attention protests w h i c h have
reached him, -pointing out there is
not now an adequate widt-h of
Channel at low tide connecting
Randall bay with Baldwin bay and
Mliburn creek.
i/ the federal government un-dertakes
