Dollar Day Proves
Women Shoppers
Know Their Values
Stores Offering Best
Bargains do Biggest
Business — -Day a Success
Dollar • Day proved that women
who shop in Freeport know values
and buy accordingly. This was in-dicated
by the fact stores that
offered the best values did the best
business. However, every merchant
in town reported last Thursday was
one of the biggest sales days in the
history of Freeport and that busi-ness
continued good through Friday
and Saturday.
Melvin Baumann; chairman of the
Retail Council, reported sales far
ahead of the. record figures for 1948.
Some store owners estimated sales
exceeded those of a .year ago by
15 percent.
Dollar Day shoppers were out
early. In many places women were
waiting in line long before the
stores were opened for business". In
fact the bulk of the business was
done before noon. Due to the new
closing hours, practically all mer-chants
kept open until 9 or 10
o'clock. However, a shower that set
in around 7 o'clock probably kept
home many who had planned to do
some shopping at night when they
could take their husbands along to
carry the bundles.
During the three days, most of
the stores cleared out their summer
goods, and Immediately prepared to
stock up with their tall lines. , Sea-sonable
goods provided the be.st bar-gains

to get goods at prices below cost.

creased business. It was fortunate
they did because of the crowds that
were on hand as soon as the places
were opened for business.
Jack L. Green, of Carol Green's,
reported the parking meters proved
their worth, by making it possible
for local and out of town shoppers
to find places to park their cars
even in what formerly were the most
congested areas. The parking fields

and many others interested in
Freeport and its youth, pledged
their support to ionn this organi-zation
which rates national com-mendation.
* • *
Len Dobbins, a leading; football
official for eighteen years with an
active life interest in sports, is a
firm believer that there is a defin-ite
connection between scholastic
athletic competition and later suc-cess.
. . . "Certainly a boy who is
willing: to sacrifice and strive to
win a berth on a team is already
learning something of what may
be expected of him in later life."
However, during the malleable
years of youth, help is needed to
cast. the right mold, and this
assistance is the principal aim of
the Fathers-Boosters* Club. This
is the major activity of Len Dob-bins,
who along with the other
thoughtful men, give their co-operative
efforts for its success.

Exhibition on Tonight
The boxing exhibitions between
members of the Freeport Police Boys
Clubs and the Long Beach Recrea-tion
project, for the benefit of the
local P.B.C., which were postponed
last Thursday night because of the
downpour early in the evening, will
be staged tonight in the Municipal
Stadium.
The program of sparring exhibi-tions
between the reprcsentatives_of
the two groups, as well as exhibi-tions
by professionals and Golden
Gloves champions will be carried out
as originally planned. Patrolman

for a large turnout so that a tidy
sum may be realized to augment the
work being done by Patrolman Ro-meika

benefit of the youth of Freeport.
LEN DOBBINS
Fordham University. He also played professional football before the
play-for-pay leagues were organized. Today he is rated as a top football
official in the Eastern Association with such major games as the Yale-
Harvard and Navy-Notre Dame contests on his 1949 schedule. He is a
man's man; a true American; a father who is respected and well-liked
and whose appearance is handsomely distinguished. Yes, he ' is well
qualified to understand.and be the first president of this worthy organi-zation.
* * * •
Men like Sheriff Al Vollmer, Program 'Committee Chairman; Ken
Lozier, president, and Len Dobbins, are in themselves prime examples of
the true value of sportsmanship and success in life. Besides his position
in the football world, Len Dobbins is also Vice-President of Automotive
and Aircraft Hydraulics, Inc., located at 503 West 5Glh st., Manhattan.

The Len Dobblns'i (his wife was Elsie Adams of Brooklyn. N.Y.) re-side
at 22 Pearsall ave. They have t.wo children, Leonard S. Dobbins,
FHS, Hofstra, "and Syracuse, now with Eastern Airlines, and Virginia,
graduate of FHS, who is attending Cortland Teachers' College. Both
children were prominent in sports. Len played baseball and basketball
for Freeport High School, and "Ginny" distinguished herself in the
Councils of the Girls A.A. at FHS.
* * • *
It is the sincere wish of Mr. Dobbins that the citizens of our com-munity
acquaint themselves and give their help to the Fathers' and
Boosters' Club, and thereby take active interest in the encouragement
of Student activities. .Sportsmanship; citizenship; advisory service for
college, vocation, and life and planned development of high school stu-dents
in all fields are but few of the projects on the program. Awards,
citations, and prizes, which are the incentive rewards to youth, require
time and money. Your symbol of cooperation of as little as one dollar
places you on the Booster List. (Send to Program Committee, 6 Rose st.,
or Al Vollmer, 5 Railroad ave.) • • • •
Congratulations, Len Dobbins, for helping form The Fathers' and
Boosters' Club. Freeport leads in sports under such capable coaches as
Bill Ashley. We will do our share to maintain good sportsmanship!
Antenna From Plane Lands In Bed
Of Speckardts, Away On Vacation
Mr. and Mrs. William Kpe
still thanking their lucky stars
Catskills when an antonna foil
Navy plane, pierced the roof of their
home,' and partly buried itself in
the mattress of their bed after pas-sing
through the ceiling. They were
away Irom Aug. 2 to 11, so do. not
know just when the dflrt_lllf£_£iece
of metal struck.
They turned it over to' the police,
and it was picked up by represen-tatives
of the legal department of
the -Mitchel Field Air Base, who
ruled it was not part "of"-the Air
Force equipment and returned it to-the
Speck'ardts to- retain as a soxi-
.>venirof the incident.
The metal shaft was 16 inches'in
length,. starting with a sharp point
and measuring 3/8 of an inch in
diaineter at the other end. It was
painted yellow and had broken off
where.it was attached to the belly
of the 1 plane. Patrolmanv Stewart
McLaughlin, who served as a radio
c-kardl, 65 Southside ave., are
they were vacationing in the
from, what is believed to be a
technician in the U. S. Navy during
World War II, identified the con-trivance
as an "I.F.F." Antenna,
meaning "indicate friend or foe."
He said it was one of the secret de-vices'
used during the war and by
its actions the crew of a plane could
tell whether an approaching craft
belonged to an ally or an enemy.
He added it also was known as a f'V.H.F." antenna, part of the equip-ment
by, which Navy planes kept in
contact with shore bases and other
planes. Due to vibrations, he1 said,
the Navy had trouble with the an-
'tennas'which frequently broke off.
He identified,.it because of its yel-low
color.
The Speckardts returned from
their .vacation shortly after mid-night
last Thursday and did not
find the missile until they were
about .to retire. Mr. Speckardt
climbed into bed before it was dis-covered.
However, when his wife
started to turn down the covers,
she felt what she thought was sand
but which proved to be plaster. It
was then the small aperture was
espied in the celling and later the
small hole in the roof. ,
The antenna had pierced the
ceiling slightly to the side of the
electric fixture in the centre of the
wall, and penetrated about five
inches in the mattress near the foot
of the bed. .
Mrs. Speckardt said the discovery
gave her an eerie feeling, as she
dreaded to think what might have
happened had they been asleep
when the antenna landed. She ad-ded
it reminded her of Colonial days
when women returned .home to find
their houses shot, up with arrows
•by the Indians.

Police Seek Crania
In 'KM.' Attack
)n Jews and Negroes
Arrow Shot Into Screen
Of St. Johns pi. House
Being Sold to Blacks
Precport and Nassau C o u n t y
Police are looking for the person
or persons who shot a crudely made
arrow to which a scurrelous note
signed "K.K.K." was attached Into
the screen door of the home of Mr
and Mrs. Charles Paber, 27 St. John
pi., which they have contracted tc
sell to Negroes early Thursday. The
note was followed up by two threat-ening
telephone calls.
The note attacked Negroes and
Jews, and the Fabers. who are Jews,
turned it over to (lie Freeport Police,
who in turn 'culled in the county
defectives. Jfs contents have been
withheld. The epistle was labor-iously
drawn in juvenile fashion, so
the police have come to the con-clusion
it was the work of a crank,
or hoodlums. They do not take the
"K.K.K." signature seriously.
However on Friday night a citi-zens
committee was formed, and
Mrs. Martha Bergman, 11 Ocean ct.,
elected chairman. Others present
included Dr. Paul Schcman, 191
Stokes ave., head of the American
Labor Party and other members of
that group. The Ku Khix Klan
issue was raised immediately and
it was decided to hpld a mass meet-ing
to plan for the protection of the
Negroes and Jews residing in Free-port
since the K.K.K. "had again
raised its ulgy head" in this com-munity."
Denied Use of Temple Annex
The meeting was caller for Mon-day
night in the annex to Temple
B'nai Israel, 11G Mount ave. How-ever,"
when the leaders arrived for
the gathering' they found members
of the Board of Trustees awaiting j
them. Lester Baumann chairman
of the board, issued a statement in
which he said the request for a room
had been granted because it was
understood it came from the Free-port
Inter-Faith Clergy Council of
which the Rev. C. Newman Hogle,
pastor of the Freeport Methodist
Church is president. He added it
was expected village officials and a
few interested parties were to at-tend,
but it never was intended to
permit a mass meeting to be held.
Mr. Baumann agreed to let repre-sentatives
of a few organizations
into the building, but no mass meet-ing.
Request for the use of the build-ing
it was said came from Rich-ard
Blum of the' Merrick Jewish
Center.
Several persons offered to permit
the meeting to be held in their
homes, but finally an invitation of
Louis L. Levine to adjourn to the
lawn of his home at Babylon Turn-pike
and Grand aye., just across the
line in Roosevelt, was accepted, and
about 100 persons made the treck
there. ,
