Police Seek Crank
(Continued from Page 1)
B'rith of Temple B'nai Israel, was
named temporary chairman anc
presided from the porch of the Le-vine
residence. In his introductory
remarks he gave credence to the
"K.K.K." theory, and called for
action to.prevent it again getting a
foothold in Freeport.
Henry Waldman, of Hempstead
commander of the Jewish War Vet-erans
of Nassau County, declarec
he had knowledge plans were under
way for the reorganization of the
.Klan in Freeport and Roosevelt anc
that a preliminary meeting was
held here last Sunday night. He
promised to give out the particulars
later.
Mrs. Mildred Patterson of. the
Freeport Branch of the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People, urged action be
taken in an orderly manner. She
recommended that a large commit-tee
be appointed to plan for a mass
meeting and a course of action.
Dr. N. L. Hamlin, of Lynbrook,
chairman of the A.L.P., in Nassau
and Suffolk Counties, offered the
assistance of the Party in any way
. it could be used. He added the
A. L. P., had always supported mi-norities
and was against "Jim
Crowism."
Abraham S. Jaffe, 46 Rutland rd.,
insisted the meeting had been
packed with members of subservice
groups, mentioning the Civil Rights
Conference in particular, and added
he could not "with a clear couns-cience
work with any such organ-izations
that advocate the overthrow
of the American government by
force." To do so, he added would
give the Anti-K.K.K., forces "the
kiss of death." He expressed a de-sire
to help in the movement if it
could be freed of suspicion of having
any connection with leftest organ-izations.
To Carry Out Contract
EHhue Berman, counsel for Mrs.
Faber, announced that the contract
for the sale of the property had been
signed and would be carried out
He said, however, he wanted it
understood he and Mrs. Faber de-sired
to do all in their power to
prevent a recurrence of the arrow-shooling
incident whether -it wa
the work of the KJCJC., a crank or
hoodlums. After the meeting Mrs.
Faber pointed out that another
house on the block recently was
sold to Negroes and added she
would not have been the first to
dispose of her home to blacks.
Numerous speakers from many
places joined in the debate which
dealt mainly with "fear of the
Klan." It finally was decided to
adopt Mrs. Patterson's recommend-ation
and appoint a large committee
to arrange for a large mass meet-
'Know Your Store'
Say Shermans of
A-Deal Super Mart
There's an old adage in the busi-ness
world that advises, "No matter
how well you know your product,
know yout 'salesman." "There's a
great deal of good old common sense
in that and the Sherman Brothers
of A-Deal Super Mart suggest it as
a wise way of knowing when, where
and how to shop,.most importantly
for food but for anything else "as
well. Knowing your product in most
cases involves more than reading an
ad or listening to your radio, watch-ing
your television; it is, now more
than ever, a case of knowing the
people with whom you deal. And
A-Deal Super Mart, Grove st. at
Merrick rd., Freeport, has success-fully
built business on the plan of
Personalized Service, -of making a
little less per item but giving you
more in quality and taking care in
selecting for you the things that
go on your table to feed you and
your children.
Giving you brands that have been
known and respected throughout the*
ountry is one way of gaining and
ceeping your confidence. Knowing
.he scene behind the scenes in the
'ood industry is a study that re-quires
many years of experience and
calls for real foresight, just as does
your business or any other. The
tory behind that familiar can you
,ake from the shelf of your super
mart is a long one; it deal in price
rends, quality trends, the ability of
huge volume purchasing power and
many facets that ultimately spell
more value for less money torthe
consumer. It is. more than a price
ag, more than a quality item, more
than a magnificent, store front: it
s all these and much more. And it
boils down to a case of having con-fidence
in people who have served
you for years and hope to serve you
for many, many more. That's what
is meant by knowing your salesman
—knowing your store. Deal where
Personalized Service is having a
real interest in your welfare, where
familiar faces serve you In a spirit
of friendship, confident of your re-turn.

of the South Shore Section,
National Council of Jewish Women,
temporary co-chairmen to carry out
this plan. Inquiry indicated no one
of this name was connected with the
group.
The Rev. Reginald H. Scott was
the only clergyman to show up at
the meeting, but he left before it

to the call.

the parking meters have survived
the Dollar Day test, they problably
will do much in the future,to make
people, especially from put of town,
realize that Freeport is- one place
where it is;possible to find parking
space without having to drive blocks
to park a car.
Contractors have started work on
the construction of Parking Field 1,

old ramshackle buildings are- being
razed, and two structures are being
torn down to make room for the
wide entrance from Smith st. Into

Parking Field 4
Plans to be Sent
To Board Shortly
Located North of
Tracks it Will Have
Room for 433 Cars
Plans for Parking Field No. 4, to
be located north of the Long Island
Rail Road tracks, are nearing com-pletion,
and probably will be sub-mitted
to the Village Board for
approval either on Tuesday, Sept. 6
or 20.
The field is to be located within
. the block bounded by North Main
st. on the west, Broadway on the
south, Harding pi. on the east, and
Grand ave. on the north. Tt is to
be the largest parking field in the
village, with accommodations for 433
cars, compared with 290 cars IB}
Field No. 1, the next largest, in back'
of King Kullen's which 'is being con-structed
at this time.
There will be two vehicular en-trances
and exits to the field. That
from Main st. will be 50 feet in width
and will be located just south of
wherfc Randall ave. ends on the
other side of the street. There also
will be another 70 feet wide on
Broadway.
As soon as the Board has approved
the final plans, bids for its con-struction
will be advertised for and
the contract let. As a result, mem-bers
of the board anticipate the
field will be completed and ready
for use before cold weather sets in.
With the completion of Parking
Fields 1 and 4, Preeport will have
one of the best system of such fields
of any village in Nassau County.
Field No. 1, in back of West Merrick
rd., between South Grove and
Church sts., is already in use, as
are numerous smaller fields still to
be permanently improved.

INTRODUCES
.Qeorge F. Hasbrouck ***
"A ship of state must be a solid craft—and it's the men in key positions
whose capabilities form the basic structure." George F. Hasbrouck is part
of the solid foundation of Freeport's municipal life. The important duties
of his office must be consistently fulfilled; like an ocean liner that keeps
seaworthy regardless of the change in captains; so too, his office must
function capably under the various
tours of duty of our mayors. >-.• ,v * • •.——•——: r—

George F. Hasbrouck has been
the Clerk of the Village of Free-port
since January, 1945, when he
assumed the duties of .the late
Howard PearsalL He has been an
efficient, loyal, and capable civic
servant to this village for the past
twenty-three years. It is a well-known
fact among all village em-ployees,
from the supervisors to
the laborers, that regardless of how
busy our Village Clerk might be, he
will always make time to listen to
their problems and offer his assist-ance.
Residents and businessmen
of Freeport have found his door
always open. His advice is always
based on clear facts and backed by
years of experience. George Has-brouck
is one of our most active
public officials even though he's

Actually "Village of Freeporl" is
a misnomer. We are in all respects
a large city with a . population
nearing thirty thousand inhabi-tants.
Freeport is becoming na-tionally
known for its many attributes. Our industrial picture is increas-ing;
we are forging ahead to take a permanent lead in the business
world; and within our boundaries reside nationally known leaders in every

Their daughter, Jean, is married to Harvey Dean. The Hasbroucks arc
grandparents to three lovely children. Our Village Clerk is treasurer of
the Freeport Republican Club, and active in the Methodist Church, Free-port
Lodge of Elks, and a former treasurer of the Spartan Lodge of
Masons. The raising of prize dahlias and vacationing at his JPccoriic
lodge are his main hobbies.

Yes, the Village Clerk of Freeport. holds an important key position.
He must supervise the work of more than twenty employees and is respon-sible
for the charge and jurisdiction of all Village records. In his position
he also serves as secretary to various commissions "intruding the Sewer

are truly fortunate that a man with the able talents of George Hasbrouck
