To Protect Crossings
Within tbe next few weeks gates will be placed at four important cross¬ ings of the Long Island Railroad. This announcement was made by the trus¬ tees of the village after a consulta¬ tion Friday morning with officials of the company. The railroad com¬ pany, in consenting to place modern strong gates at the principal crossings would have it understood that it is granting a concession. The crossings selected are at Long Beach Avenue, Grove Street, Bay View Avenu^ and Henry Street.
It will be remembered- and very vividly by a large number in this vil¬ lage—that there was a deplorable tragedy at the Greve Street crossing on tK • evening of October 1. A Patch¬ ogue express struck a taxicab. burling 'the five occupants into the air. Two were killed instantly, and'.three badly injured.
At a recent nieeting of the trustees Mr. Sigmond urged that some action be taken to have the company install gates at all the crossings in Freeport. He requested that a letter be sent to the railroad authorities, instructing them to put gates at every crossii^g. It was pointed out that the train service through Freeport has been increasing yearly, and that more expresses pass through the village this year than ever before.
In reply to tbe trustees Supt. Thorn¬ ton of the company, invited the village fathers to'meet the railroad officials at the Freeport station. They did so. The day was partly spent in making a careful study of the existing condi¬ tions. Particular attention was given to Grove Street, where ihe tragedy oc¬ curred. After the inspection the trus- tpes were invited for a ride in the par¬ lor car, and the remainder of the day was spent in sightseeing.

School Notes
Great Neck High School Football Team wss defeated last Saturday by Freeport in a rather poor game; score 5-0.
The High School hired a special trol¬ ley Wednesday and rode to Rockville Centre where the team played the South Side High School Team in the presence of a large crowd. The game was interesting and close throughout and although neither side scored, Rock¬ ville Centre had decidedly the advant¬ age. Freefiort plam^a fine defensive gam? but due to cliHv| in th«^ back filed, were weak on tMHggressive. 2 Tuesday afternoon int rhetoricals were held in the .Assembly Hall of the High School. These are always an in¬ teresting feature of school life and should be supported by parents and friends of the school. The next rbe- torials will be held November 10 at 2 :.S0 p. m.
At Crystal Lake House Tuesday ev¬ ening, about fifty teachers and their friends spent a very pleasant evening. The affair was a party given by the faculty of the High School to the grade teachers. The rooms were prettily decorated with pennants and orange and black crepe paper. Dancing, fortune telling and other Halloween amuse¬ ments were indulged in, after which refreshments were served.
Tbe annual meeting of the Freeport Charities Aid Association was held at the residence of Rev. W. A. Richard, Tuesday evening. The treasurer's re¬ port showed a balance in the bank of $52 as follows: , Receipts from sale of Red Cross Seals,' 1909-10, $19.36; re¬ ceipts from sale of Red Cross Seals, 1910-11, $32.64—$62.00.
The association is a branch of the State Charities Aid Association, whose object is the stamping out of tubercu-. losis. 85 per cent of the receipts from sale of Red Cross Seals remains with the local association for local dse.
The officers of last year were re-ap¬ pointed and an order for seals for 1911- 12 was given to J. D. Kiefer, who was sgsin sppointed diatriboting agent for Freeport.
Rev. W. A. Richard was re-elected president and J. D. Kiefer, secretary snd tressurer.

To Protect Crossings Within tbe next few weeks gates will be placed at four important cross¬ ings of the Long Island Railroad. This announcement was made by the trus¬ tees of the village after a consulta¬ tion Friday morning with officials of the company. The railroad com¬ pany, in consenting to place modern strong gates at the principal crossings would have it understood that it is granting a concession. The crossings selected are at Long Beach Avenue, Grove Street, Bay View Avenu^ and Henry Street. It will be remembered- and very vividly by a large number in this vil¬ lage—that there was a deplorable tragedy at the Greve Street crossing on tK • evening of October 1. A Patch¬ ogue express struck a taxicab. burling 'the five occupants into the air. Two were killed instantly, and'.three badly injured. At a recent nieeting of the trustees Mr. Sigmond urged that some action be taken to have the company install gates at all the crossings in Freeport. He requested that a letter be sent to the railroad authorities, instructing them to put gates at every crossii^g. It was pointed out that the train service through Freeport has been increasing yearly, and that more expresses pass through the village this year than ever before. In reply to tbe trustees Supt. Thorn¬ ton of the company, invited the village fathers to'meet the railroad officials at the Freeport station. They did so. The day was partly spent in making a careful study of the existing condi¬ tions. Particular attention was given to Grove Street, where ihe tragedy oc¬ curred. After the inspection the trus- tpes were invited for a ride in the par¬ lor car, and the remainder of the day was spent in sightseeing.

School Notes Great Neck High School Football Team wss defeated last Saturday by Freeport in a rather poor game; score 5-0. The High School hired a special trol¬ ley Wednesday and rode to Rockville Centre where the team played the South Side High School Team in the presence of a large crowd. The game was interesting and close throughout and although neither side scored, Rock¬ ville Centre had decidedly the advant¬ age. Freefiort plam^a fine defensive gam? but due to cliHv in th«^ back filed, were weak on tMHggressive. 2 Tuesday afternoon int rhetoricals were held in the .Assembly Hall of the High School. These are always an in¬ teresting feature of school life and should be supported by parents and friends of the school. The next rbe- torials will be held November 10 at 2 :.S0 p. m. At Crystal Lake House Tuesday ev¬ ening, about fifty teachers and their friends spent a very pleasant evening. The affair was a party given by the faculty of the High School to the grade teachers. The rooms were prettily decorated with pennants and orange and black crepe paper. Dancing, fortune telling and other Halloween amuse¬ ments were indulged in, after which refreshments were served. Tbe annual meeting of the Freeport Charities Aid Association was held at the residence of Rev. W. A. Richard, Tuesday evening. The treasurer's re¬ port showed a balance in the bank of $52 as follows: , Receipts from sale of Red Cross Seals,' 1909-10, $19.36; re¬ ceipts from sale of Red Cross Seals, 1910-11, $32.64—$62.00. The association is a branch of the State Charities Aid Association, whose object is the stamping out of tubercu-. losis. 85 per cent of the receipts from sale of Red Cross Seals remains with the local association for local dse. The officers of last year were re-ap¬ pointed and an order for seals for 1911- 12 was given to J. D. Kiefer, who was sgsin sppointed diatriboting agent for Freeport. Rev. W. A. Richard was re-elected president and J. D. Kiefer, secretary snd tressurer.
