Committee Plans
Solemn Service
On Eve of Fourth
Prayers for Peace
To Feature Rites
in Village Hall
The Mayor's Committee appointed
to plan an appropriate observance
of the Fourth of July decided at
a meeting in the Municipal Build-ing
Monday night to conduct • a
service in the Council Chamber of
the Village Hall on Thursday night,
July 3. It will be sponsored by
the committee, the Freeport Inter-
Faith Clergy Council, the Com-munity
Council and the United
Religions Committee of the Cham-ber
of Commerce.
} Chairman Horace E. DeLisser
pointed out that in a front page
editorial recently The LEADER pro-posed
that the day be observed
solemnly instead of merely as a
holiday, by offering prayers for
peace and the solution of the prob-
Jems of the world which threaten
the security of the nation. He
made some suggestions for .such an
observance.
Several members expressed the
opinion it might be well to defer
such a service to Constitution Day,
Wednesday, Sept. 17. or Thanks-giving
Day, but on motion of Mrs.
Harold W. Bottta, |t_ v*f*s .voted to
f..'-:out^tiiev'oxf&l&al' •'suggestion:
by^ conducting the service on
eve of" the Fotirth. THe program
will be announced later.
- The program will be broadcast
over Station WGBB starting at 8
o'clock.
The following committees were
appointed: Program: Rabbi Simon

The Leader Is Hit
By Paper Shortage
The p a p e r shortage has
finally caught up with The
LEADER. And as a result it
has become necessary to reduce
the size " of the paper to 16
pages, and their is nothing we
can do about it.
To accomplish this, beginning
next week several features will
be omitted. These are the
20th Century series concerning
Freeport projects, "Dateway to
Knowledge" and the Communi-ty
calender. A week later the
garden column will be dropped.
In addition it has been neces-sary
to refuse columns of ad-vertising
and also to cut all
news to tabloid proportions.
We hope this situation can
be overcome in a few weeks,
and we can again publish 20
and 24-page editions.

Democrats Favor
Military Training
The Freeport Democratic Club
endorsed President Truman's plan
for universal military training at
its meeting Thursday night in'
headquarters, 56 West Merrick rd.
It was voted to write the President
urging him to press for the adop-tion
of the program in Congress.
Rene Carreau. the county lead-er,
told of a plan to reorganize
the party in every election dis-trict.
He said it was hoped to
accomplish this goal by recruiting
party adherents to nil committee-men
positions and other important
posts. N
It was voted to send a letter to
the State . Department of Public
Works in Babylon asking if it was
true that construction of the cen-ter
mall in Sunrise highway had
been delayed. President .William
Mowdy presided.
Butter 61c a Pound—
So Why Pay More?
Only readers of The LEADER
knew where to obtain butter at 61
cents a pound during the past
week end. That was at the A-Deal
Foodmart on South Grove st.
While other stores were charging
63 cents and more a pound, A-Deal
was asking only 61.
This store, owned and operated
as a local enterprise has found it^
advantage to use as its advertising
m e d i u m , The LEADER which
leaches more residents of Freeport
by thousands than any other pub-lication.
Not only in butter, but
in other items it frequently cuts
prices below those of the other
markets in Freeport. So watch
the A-Deal prices' in The LEADER
every week before going to shop
elsewhere.

adopted and the clerk was instruct-ed
to advise the Village Trustees of

Pupil Traffic Squads

at • exits to see that other
pupils did not cross streets in the
center of the block, by directing
them to the corner where the of-ficer
was stationed.

them, though he was not justified
in doing so. Mr. Israel offered to
enlist five lawyers in giving such
talks. Superintendent John W.
Dodd, expressed interest in the
idea, and premised to take the
matter up later.
Other lie commendations
Mr. Israel made several other
recommendations which will , be
forwarded to the proper authori-ties.
These were that reflector
arrows be installed at the east end
of Gatter Pork, Smith st., showing
the fork in the road at that point;
that the ordinance requiring prop-erty
owners to keep hedges and
foliage at corners down to a maxi- ,
mum height of four feet, and that

of the State so the police would -
