At a dinner given on Friday evening to the newly elected officers at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, New Vork City, the chairman announced that the Clab had availed itself of an option from Hugo Stearns to purchase what ia considered a most beautifu'ly devel¬ oped golf and country club, situated •t Freeport-Baldwin, with al! new buiiding-* such as club house, green keeper's residence, professional's ahop, caddie's houae, etc., tennis courts, handball courts and practice holes. Tbe purchase ia said to be $250,000.
The formal opening of the golf links will take place some time in May. Tbe memberahip lists   counts   upward
meeting, of instruction, of play and all the social activities poasible inhere groups can congregate.
This project will cost aervice, hard work and money. The purpose of hold¬ ing a community fair ia to meet the conditions of arousing interest, obtain¬ ing service and raiaing money. To this plan I hope all the citizens of Freeport, Baldwin and Rooaevelt will attach themselvea in a courageous, hopeful and vital way, ao that ita auc¬ cesa will diaplay before the eyea of Freeport and the neighboring villages, a large, well-equipped Neighborhood House.
