Registration Opens
Tonight for Adult
Education Courses
Apprentice Classes
Offered for First
Time in Nasau County
Registration for the , various
courses offered by the Board of
Education in its Adult Education
Program will get under way tonight
in the office of Clarence' Genner,
the director, Room 8, Freeport High
School building, anytime between
8 and 10 o'clock, and continue week
days next week during the same
hours. Classes will have their open-ing
sessions next week.
A feature of this year's work is
the opportunity for apprentices to
receive instruction In their chosen
trades in Nassau County for the
first time. At the requets of the
New York State Labor and A'ppren-tice
Council and the State Dep'art-ment
of Education these courses are
being offered in Freeport. Appren-tice
training will be provided in any
trade for which there are applica-tions.
Each program requires 144
hours of instruction a year in sub-jects
related to the trade. Classes
will meet two nights a week, Tues-day
and Thursday, for 27 weeks
from 7:20 to 10 o'clock. Heretofore
it has been necessary for appren-tices
to travel to Jamaica or the
city to take these courses. As there
are several hundred apprentices liv-ing
in Nassau County who are re-quired
to receive instruction it will
mean a considerable saving in time
and cost if they attend classes here.
The schedule of classes contem-plated
by nights is as follows:

J. D. Cruickshank
Breaks Ground for
Animal Shelter
Work is Started on
L. I. Humane Society
Project — Others Speak
James H. Cruikshank, president
of the .Long Island Humane and
Dog Protective Association, Inc.,
broke ground Sunday afternoon for
the animal shelter to be erected on
Hanse avo: just beyond the U.S.
Naval Reserve Armory. Worden E.
Winne presided at the exercises.
The contractors for the project are
H. E. & H. L. Olllen. lio East
Milton st.
"We have made our first move
toward our animal shelter which we
hope to complete in three months'
time," Mr. Cruikshank said. "We
are planning to accommodate alto-gether,
sixty dogs and cats.
"We have been given to under-stand
that our society, will enter
into a contract with the Incorpor-ated
Village of Freeport " as Dog
Warden. We now have a fully
equipped ambulance for picking up
dogs and cats but we need cages to
fully complete our shelter.
"We are making a small charge
when dogs or cats are left with us
and also a small charge when they
are adopted, unless we believe the
persons wanting same cannot afford
to pay and would be willing to give
the animals the best possible home.
We will also board dogs and cats at
reasonable charges.
"We recently received a donation
of $11.000 from a friend which added
to the money we have on hand.
made it possible to erect our shelter.
We especially thank our former
mayor, Cyril C. Ryan and his board
of trustees, our present mayor, Rob-ert
L. Doxsee and his board of
trustees, and our architect, Edmund
Lumley, jr., for their great help they
rendered to us and all our friends
who have worked so hard to. make
the shelter possible.
"We were incorporated in 1939
under the name of the Long Island
Humane Society, Inc., but later we,
added the words, 'And Dog Protec-tive
Association. Inc.1 in order that
We could mak.e a contract, if we so
desired, with any village or town to
act as their Dog Warden."

INTRODUCES
... Henry J. Dengel
"To give though thanks.be silent, and giver's hand unseen." We
take the liberty of citing probably the best contempory poet to describe
a man who seems to have taken this phase as a motto to'live by. To
the great many who know him. we join in a salute; to the few who do not,
we have the privilege of introducing Henry J. Dengel of 281 Park ave.
* * * * '
Mr. Dengel, a home owner in Freeport for the better part of the
past decade, was born in the Borough of the Bronx on March 13th, 1912.
Having graduated from St. Martin of Tours High School, he entered Si.
Leonard's Business .Academy and,
in 1935, matriculated from the
American Institute of Banking.
In June. 1936, he joined the Re-tailers'
Commercial Agency until a
year later, when he went to the
Pennsylvania Exchange Bank as
assistant credit manager. In April
of 1942, he became manager of
small loans department for the
Bank of Athens, a position he held
until February, 1944, when he
associated himself with the Public
National Bank on Broad st. as
assistant head of the accounts re-ceivable
department.
* * *
The Dengels as a family group
compose that which we like to call
the American picture. His wife,
Jean, and three children, Jimmie,
Bill and Helen, ranging from six
to ten years of age, are the people we know, the people around us and
with us, in social life and in school, in church and on the playground,
in the shops or at the polls.
* • • •
Mr. Dengcl's avenue of doing good where need is great, has been
through the means of the Catholic organizations of Freeport, most-par-ticularly
the Holy Name Society of Our Holy Redeemer Church, of which
he filled the office of president during 1946-47, and Bishop Molloy Council
No. 1974 of the Knights of Columbus. His record in the latter h*s been
one of outstanding achievement and self-sacrifice. Mr. Dengel became a
Knight of Columbus on September 9, 1943. Less than a year later, he was
Dog-Week Proclamation

Mayor Robert L. Doxsee today
issued a proclamation proclaiming
the week of Oct. 9 to 15 as Fire
Prevention week in Freeport. -The

The proclamation follows:
WHEREAS, fire in its uncon-trolled

be Fire Prevention Week for the
Village of Freeport, and sin-cerely
urge all citizens of this
Community to becpme fire consci-ous

Tells of Shortcomings
Mr. WcyrnucJi in opening (.he pro-cecdinys
said it was' desired (o
eliminate some of (he shortcomings
of the ordered plan and to give the
village relief. He told of the drastic:
changes in surbnn life- since the
adoption of the Cohen plan increas-ing
pressure on the railroad ami«
motor transit facilities. Facilities
in the Freeport station area, he
maintained in the Ivlaln, Grove st.,
and Ocean ave., area were Inad-equate
to permit easy access to and
egress from the section. To meet
this situation, he proposed that, the
passenger station be moved 750 feet
east when the crossings are elimin-ated
to permit the providing of com-petent
facilities to handle commuter
traffic.
The station, built In the horse
and buggy days. Mr. Wcyrauch in-sisted
now is hemmed in, a situa-tion
that cannot be eliminated by
carrying out the ordered plan. He
added that consultation* with offi-cials

be substituted without delaying the
completion of the project,
Mr. Strecker on taking the stand,
