By brother and I Together we stand." One of the stronger
true relationships in life Is brotherhood, and one of the best examples
of practiced fraternal harmony is the eighteen year old business assocla

( * * * *
The Bernhards have been pharmacists at their 54 West Merrick rd
location since 1931. Prior to coming to Freeport they opened and op era tec
their first drug store in Huntington. L.I. in 1926. During this period o
time they have compounded more than a quarter of a million prescrip

because both have been associated wltfa tfie drug- business ever since
their teen-a£e days. Prior to World War 1 they worked after school in
pharmaceutical establishments in Brooklyn. Both arc graduates or
Boys' High School in Brooklyn. Arthur holds a Bachelor of Science
Degree from New York University, and both were graduated from the
Brooklyn College of Pharmacy. They headed the lists of scholastic
honors as Cum Laudc students. * * ' * *
As pharmacy is paramount as their vocation, so is music and the
theatre their avocation. This theatrical interest dates back to their days
in school. They composed the official-college song which has been adopted
as the "-Alma Mater" song of the College. George Bernhard's reputation
as a pianist and vocalist is rivaled only by his brother Arthur's talent
as a violinist. Their entertaining performances have made many Elks
Lodge presentations outstanding successes. They give their time and
effort unlimitedly to all charitable affairs, and their professional-type
talent is always In demand. * * * * ..
Both Arthur and George Bernhard are members of the Nassau-Suffolk
Pharmaceutical Association, New York State Pharmaceutical Association,
and National Association of Retail Druggists. AH of these organizations
strive for better public relations 'and for the achievement and mainten-ance
of the highest principles of pharmacy. They are also members of
many other organizations including the Freeport Lodge of .Elks, Lions
Club, Temple Israel, B'nai B'rith, Freeport. Chamber of' Commerce.
(George is a past president of Freeport Lions and present secretary.)
During the last war they were active in Red Cross, USO, and War Fund
Relief Committee Service in the field.
* * * *
The Bernhards love children and they like to spend their spare time
in outdoor sports. They are frequent visitors to Jones Beach and other
Long Island playgrounds where they swim or play .handball. It Is a
common sight to see their automobiles filled with children going for
a day's pleasure with Arthur and George playing Santa Claus. Arthur
is the married member of the combination. He and his/cbarmmg wife,
Estelle, are the parents of a daughter, Ann, a seventeen-year-old Ocean-side
High School beauty. George is one of Freeport's most eligible
bachelors. * * * *
These are the Barnhard Brother's: United and in complete harmony,
successful in business and happy in life. "My brother and I ... Together
we stand."

t Will be in Keeping '
With Adjacent Area
After thoroughly investigating
the matter, the Village Board has
decided it is for the best interests of
all concerned to permit the property
owned by Alexander Verity, the
builder, in the northern end of the
village to continue as n residential
"A" district to which it was trans-ferred
from "AA" in July.
Following this action, a' delegation
of property owners from the north-western
area appeared • before the
Board at its August meeting, pro-tested
they knew nothing about the
proposed re-zoning until it was too
late and then filed an application
to have the "AA" status restored.
The property involved is bounded
on the south by Prince ave.. the east
by King st., the north by the Roose-velt
boundary nnd the west by the
rear property line of houses front-ing
on Oxford court. In this area
Verity plans to erect thirty high
ype homes.

As a preliminary after receiving
•he application, members of the
Village Board made a personal sur-vey
of the neighborhood, and then

hisjpet dog companion. This year,
th"e'"Boy and Girl Scout and Camp
Fire Girls organizations are par-ticipating
in the 'observance on a
country-wide basis, as part of their
program of responsibility for char-acter-
building and citizenship train-ing,
as expressed in the Scout Laws
and Camp Fire Girl Honor Beads.
The seven point objectives of
National Dog Week are: 1. A good
home for every dog. 2, Elimination
of stray dogs from the streets. 3.
Better informed dog owners. 4.
Teach consideration fof'dogs^ and
all animals. 5. Emphasize the dog's
use as a companion, helper and
home protector. 6. Secure fair laws
for dogs and their owners. 7. Teach
respect for the rights of non-dog
owners.
