Funeral and Memorials John D. Gunning
The funeral of John D. Gunning, held on Friday night at his home, among the beautiful trees that he loved, in Freeport, was a testimony of neighbors who were friends to the profiitable life of one who loved his fellow men. In the course of years, in some gentle way, he had seemed to touch with his earnest and kindly spirit nearly every man and woman in the little community which he had served as village president. The late George Richard Conner, when Com¬ missioner of .City Works in Brooklyn, was ever at the beck and call of de¬ pendent people, who sought his larg- hearted advice. Once when he was summoned from a meal to answer a persistent calldr, his wife remon¬ strated. His reply was, "Ah, but con¬ sider what a funeral I shall have!" John D. Gunning was far from being
Freeport has never appeared more flaK bedecked than during the past week, and when the delegates for the twenty-second annual convention of the Southern Xew York Firemen's -Association, which includes Long Isl and, Staten Island and Westchester Counties, started arriving Monday evening they found Oltl Glory flying from every building, partly in their honor, partly because the owners were glad to proclaim to the visitors that they were under its folds.
-AlthouKh it was anticipated that the attendance both at the convention and at the parade and tournament would be very small, on account of unset- tle<l conditions, the firemen evident¬ ly realized that theirs was a work of continual preparedness, and that they could best serve by keeping their de¬ partments up to their highest stand¬ ards and that duty required their at¬ tention to their work, and the at¬ tendance at all ses.sions was large while for the parade and tournament on Thursday, while the entries for the parade were small, interest ran high.
CONVENTION
When President Schiffmacher called the meeting to order at 10:50 Tues¬ day morning, about 300 delegates vvere in their seats at the American Thea¬ tre, which had been ""tlonated for the oi'fiision by ManaKcr Wallman. Vil¬ lage President Sidney H. Swezey wel¬ comed the delegates on behalf of the Village of Freeport, and was respond¬ ed to by President Schiffmacher. Chief, John J. Randall, jr., welcomed the delegates on behalf of the Fire De¬ partment, and was followed by Second Vice President William H. Thomas of Brooklyn. Supervisor Hiram R. Smith followed, and gave the conven¬ tion a start along patriotic lines that was noticeable to the finish.
Short addresses were also made by e.\-Presidents James W. Eaton of Babylon, .Archer B. Wallace of Free- port, Charles M. Schwalbe of Staten Island, J. Frank Ryan of Flushing and Lemuel B. Green of Patchogue.
Telegrams of sympathy was ord¬ ered sent to First Vice President O'Donnell, who is ill at a Brooklyn Hospital, and to Patrick H. Lahey of Brooklyn, a familiar figure at con¬ ventions, who, fast approaching his 90th year, has been injured by an automobile and confined to his bed for several months.
At the opening of the afternoon session, the committee on credentials reported, and the report was accepted, and a lot of other routine business transacted, including the annual re¬ ports of the officers, which showed the Association in a flourishing condi¬ tion, and that several new companies had joined during the year.
Wednesday morning saw about 400 delegates seated when President Schiffmacher <:allo<l the Convention t(. order.

ther attention on Thursday morning The call is continued for rhubarb to be left at the Parish House on Wed¬ nesday morning before 10 o'clock. If there is any surplus spinach in the community, the women would like to have that sent in, too^in fact any sur¬ plus produce. There is need of mon¬ ey, sugar, jars, and personal work¬ ers. Mrs. Donald H. Cammann is the chairman and is most anxious to have the work progress to that point where Merrick and the surrounding country may feel that nothing in the way of garden produce able to sustain life is wasted. In this patriotic work lend a hand. Nothing could be more practi¬ cal. Any of us may have but a lit¬ tle surplus and think it not worth 'vhile to bother getting it to the Par ish House on Wednesdays, but re¬ member that the little of all of us \ motorboat makes much. Let us know that it is a base thing to waste anything now. This canning committee of women is shouldering the responsibility of sav¬ ing, but let us not permit them to shoulder it alone.
