Buffalo Ave, Plot
Proposed as Football
Practice Field
Northeast Civics
Hears Stadium Lacks
Adequate Facilities
Use of eight acres of laud near
the Cleveland ave. school, owned
by the City of New York for a high
school practice field, was proposed
at. the monthly meeting of the
Northeast Civic Association Friday
night in the home of Harry J. Berko-witz,
215 North Ocean ave, Presi-dent
George O. Schneider presided.
William S. Ashley, chief coach of
the Freepprt -High School football
team, was present at the invitation
of the association, to giye his views
concerning conditions at the Muni-cipal'Stadium.
He said the facili-ties
there were inadequate to per-mit
125 boys to engage in football
practice :and get sufficient benefit
--from their training.
It also was pointed out that the
tow cars and midget automobiles
which run hither arid yon over the
football field all" summer have the
ground packed down to the con-sistency
of concrete. This, it was
contended, results in many injuries
to players reducing the chances of
the team's success during the1'foot-ball
season.
Need of additional playgrounds
Tor the Northeast was stresed, and
William E. Crevoiserat, a member
of the commission appointed to
study the matter, announced a
hearingNiext Thursday on the pro-posed
development of the "area
adjacent to the -brook which runs
through the district.
Former Trustee Walter J. Wood
said^a playground should be located
in the Northwest of the Village.
On recommendation of the Board
of Directors, it was voted to re-quest
the village authorities to
mark out stalls for cars In the
parking fields along Brooklyn. ave.,
from Main at. to, Long Beach ave.,
to increase'the capacity of the
area to the limit. A. letter from
the Hicksville Civic Association re-porting
that a. survey, ia. that vil-lage
revealed 83 percent of the
commuters worked only five .days
a week, and did not need a 60-trip
monthly commutation ticket, was
referred to the directors.

Herbert Bond, Chairman of the
assessment committee, and a group
of members of .the Southwest Civic

T7J. Moore Tells Civics
Of Trip to San Francisco
Southwest Ass'n. Asks Board for Conference
"" Oh Proposed Change in Assessment System
Freeport's experiment of operating one ol' th» engines in
I he Municipal power plant under the Vapor Phase system,
scoffed at when it was started in February, is being watched by
engineers all over the country. T:—• ~~
Thomas J. Moore, chief engineer
of the plant told the members of
the Southwest Civic Association at
their monthly meeting in Exempt
Firemen's Hall Monday night.
Mr. Moore said the West Coast
Division of the S.A.E., invited him
to go to San Francisco, paying his
way, to speak' on the subject at'
its convention, that he spoke in
Los 'Angeles, where a $41,000,000
plant using the'same principle is
|eing erected, and that he had been
invited to speak in Chicago short-ly.
• E n g i n e e r s from Norway,
Switzerland, and E n g l a n d have
visited the plant, he said.
The e n g i n e e ' r said municipal
operation of the plant was in com-petition
with private "corporations
because it not only had to provide
bright lights, but at a cheaper
cost to the consumer than he would
pay a utilities corporation. He
also listed "free services" given
by the plant, including s t r e e t
lighting, illumination of p u b l i c
buildings and other places.
L. I. Lighting Eyes Plant
"Our plant is often visited by
officials of the Long Island Light-ing
Co., he remarked. "They
would like to buy the plant, and
would be willing to pay Quite a' Big
for it because of the great amount
of busines it does.'* .
Mr. Moore warned that due to
the increased cost of everything
used, at the, plant, it now was ope-rating
on a very narrow profit mar-gin.
He added a rate Increase was
really needed, but that it would
take months to obtain one, if .an
application was filed with the Pub-lic
Service Commission. However,
he explained, that "It rwas hoped to
keep costs down by- Introducing

water above»the b o i l i n g point,
eliminating the need of heating it,

and wear.
New Engine Arriving
The speaker said part of the ten
flat cars of material for the new
4,000 horsepower Diesel engine had
arrived and that it would be placed
in o p e r a t i o n in two or three
months.

Plan Kick-off Party
Fofi948 KQ.S. Cjfrid Squad
Tlie Fathers' and Boosters' Club "of the Freeport Schools
will give a kick-off'party tonight iu the Freeport High School
auditorium to enable-'the members .and the public to meet the
members of the 1948 grid squad
prior to the opening of the sea-son.
'
President Len Dobbins will pre-side
and head coach Bill Ashley
will introduce the players. There
will - be football-motion-pictures, a
guest speaker, selections by the
band and cheers by the girls com-prising
the cheering squjad. Admis-sion
will be free, - but by tickets
which may be obtained from any
member of the club.
Coach Asley is counting on three
members of the varsity squad to
carry the Red Devils to victory
this season. They are Joe LaBella,
captain, and the only- veteran of
last year's starting line-up on this
year's team at right end; Ozzie
Saddler, at half back, and Ed Cun-
'ningham, 215-pound ta-cJkle. He
thinks- all three are of all-star
.calibre,
^—present—it—looks-*-)
the ends in addition to LaBella will
be Dave Pearsall, Peter Lampasona
or Jimmy Chlmerl. Leading candi-diates
for center are George Golden
and Tom Molimarski, w i t h Sal
Nania, Floyd M i l l e r and Dan
O'Keefe, fighting it out for the
guard-positions.— 1 _^
Coach Ashley is finding it diffi-cult
to obtain-capable.tackles who
help out Cunningham, but the lead-ing
contenders af present are Nate
Rivers, and D i c k Glgasso. Vin
Grasso, Jack Plunkett and Saddler
probably will be found in the ,back
field, with Gate's, Walt Nesvogel
and Sunny Harrison as-hillbacks.
Battling it out for blocking back
are Charles Krummel, of last year's
J. V. team and Tony Masone, w,ho
is trying to make the -jump from
the freshman to the varsity eleven
in one year. . .
Injuries- have- h a m p e r e d ; the
squad; to date, 'but Coach Ashley
promis.es he will have a representa-tive
team that -will be fighting it
out with the opposition at all times.

The Assemblyman s a i d that
when Dewey took olllce In 1943
after the State had been under
Democratic control for 20 years,
he set to work to revamp the ad-ministration
and straighten out the
financial situation. He added that
every year since then the budget
had been balanced, a $600,000,000
fund accumulated to carry on post-war
projects and income and other
tnxos reduced. Mo predicted that
(lie results In Washington would
lit* I he -same once Dewey was
elected president.

"(Jov. Dewey has named com-petent
' men to head all executive
lepartmen'ts of the State," he con-ijnued,
"men outstanding In their
Velds, who have assumed oflltfe* at
great financial .sacrifices to them-selves.

Senator Bennett, insisted, the
united Republican party had kept
its promises to the peonle of the
