a4«OTtiaMi«>t
Ths entire Village of Freeport is in mourning at the word that it haa be¬ gun to pay iU toll to German Mili¬ Urism when W. Clinton Story, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred E. Story ot West Merrick Road, ploaged to hia death in an airplane accident over Park Field, Memphis, Tenneasee, on Tnesday afUmoon.
Young Story, who was in his 26th year, met his death wben his machine crashed into that of Cadet William J. Weissinger of Benlah, Miss., when Weissinger's machine flew directly across his path, making a collision in- eviUble- Both machines crashed to earth from a height of abont 1,000 feet, Weissinger being instantly killed. Story, .who waa thrown clear of the wreckage of his machine, was picked up alive. He was rushed to the camp hospiU], where every ef¬ fort was made to save his life, but he expired two and a half hours laUr withont regaining consciousness.
At the time of the accident Story had been circling the fiield making practice landings and was gliding down when Weissinger, who had been flying a bit higher and evidently did not see Story's plane, flew directly in his path. Story's machine fell at a forty-five degree angle on iU back and strui^c the ground on iU nose, finally landing right side up, breaking off the Uil and throwing the young Long Island student aviator clear. This happened at 4:16 p^ m., and it was just before 7 o'clock when he died. He had been doing splendid work and his instructors are unstinted in their praise of him, saying he was of an id^al temperament for an aviator.
This is the first tragedy of the war to atrike home to Freeport and the village is deeply mourning iU brave son who gave his life for his country.
First news of the accident came in a telegram from the War Department to the parenU, sUting that he had been seriously injured, and the fran¬ tic parents and his sister, Misa Gladys Story, made hasty pr^jiara- tions to hurry to Memphis to be with him, when a second message came an¬ nouncing his death. Before enlisting last April, yonng Story was employed in his father's of¬ fice.
After a course at PlatUbnrg he was entered for aviation work, and was ordered to Memphis November 16. Both Story and Weissinger were members of the second, or advanced, flying clasa, and were almost ready for active war service.
The whole Story family have devot¬ ed themselves to the service of the country, both Mrs. Story and Misa Story being indefatigable workers in the Bed Croas, and Mr. Story active in patriotic organization work, both local and National. Mrs. Story alao did splendid work for the Freeport Federation, and ia beloved by all who have eome in conUct with her in her work.
The body of our young Freeporter was aent to Freeport from camp thia Friday moming, under a miliUry ea¬ cort, and Uken to the home of his heart-stricken parenU for the fun¬ eral services, which will be held San¬ day aftemoon at 3 o'clock.
Ross Residence Sold
Lewis H. Ross haa sold his resi¬ dence property, 1*16 Pine Street, to H. J. McCord, who will occupy it some time this month, with his family. Mr. Rasa and family will move to another residence owned by Mr. Ross on Lin¬ coln Place.
CHIEF HANSE WANTS MORE PATROIJHEN
At the meeting;' of the Village Board of Trustees Wednesday evening ths annutjl report of Chief Hanse of the Police Department was presented.
Chief Hnnrie recommended, as a mean;) for increasing the efficiency of the department, the appointment of four additional regular patrolmen.
He also recommended making plans for mare room, and the increasing of the salaries of all the men from 890 now paid, to 8^00 per month. No action was taken on the recommeuds- tions, this being left for future ac> tion.

MAKE POTATOES SAVE WHEAT
The conservation bareaa of tbe Naw York State Food Commission is urging the use of pota¬ toes twice a day on every family tabll^r™ order to nse np tlie surplus crop on hand, and in order to make potatoes save wheat. There sre more than a hundred million bushels above the normal yield this year, whicb means tbat to take care of the war crop of potatoee every individual must eat an ex¬ tra bushel above his usual yearly portioii. To show ways and means of using the extra potatoes, the Commission, througii tke Conservation Bureau, has just issued a collection of recipes prepared by the Department of Homd Economics of the State College of Agriculture, called "Potatoes for Pat¬ riotism," which tells how to make, potatoes into pastry, Into Victory Bread, into soups, souffles and many other delectable dishea
MILK AS MEAT AND DRINK
Under tbe title, "Milk as Meat and Drink," a pamphletissuedfrom the press this week by the Bu¬ reau of Conservation of the New York State Food Commission, throws light on the present milk situ¬ ation and urges tbe greater use of milk among the
bomes of New York State. , V
Because of the recent increase in the cost of %
milk, less milk in being consumed, which is tend- J^
ing to cause a milk surplus with the result that J^
farmers are slaughtering tbeir herds.   Unless some- ^^
thing is done to counteract this, a re^ milk short- A
age will occur and prices will soar. « 
As a patriotic measure, a larger consumption 9
ot milk is urged and likewise as a measure of econ- 9
omy, since milk is the cheapest form of animal food, 9
and may be used in many different ways to take V
the place of meat. j

prepared by the Department of Home Economics \

We have not at this writing learned that there is any other candidate, al¬ though we have heard Frank H. Stev¬ ens, a former Trustee, mentioned.      j
Mr. Anderson is now County Com¬ miasioner of Jurors. No one in the village knows the community and iU needs better. He will give the village an efficient, economical administra¬ tion.
As to the candidacy of Trustee Be¬ dell, no comment is necessary. He has demonstrated his ability to hold the office till he gets ready to leave it, and he will be re-elected. Trustee Mahnken has made good and should be re-eiected. Our two financial offi¬ cers ar« the right men, and probably will have no opposition.

VILLAGE TRUSTEES
Most of the time at the regular meeting of the Village Board of Trus¬ tees Thuraday aftemoon was Uken with a discussion of fira alarm mat¬ ters, along the lines previously cov¬ ered in tha Fire Department Column of the Nassau County Review. Briefly, the Telephone Company does hot want to give the Fire Department infor¬ mation regarding location of fires and Uke the responsibility of time re¬ quired without compensation, and submits a plan to have all fire calls go through ,the police department. The Fire Conncil unanimously objects to thia proposition, claiming that the poliee department haa its own re¬ sponsibilities and naturally would give them the right of way over fire matters, and that in some insUnces valuable time might be lost. They claim they do not in any way reflect on the police department—they siaip- ly do not believe the suggested plan tends to speed in getting alarms in. Mr. Ryder, repre3enting the telephone company is equally positive that the service will be as rapid as that at present used, depending on the tele¬ phone operators. Mr. Ryder also said that hereafter no preference wotild be shown the fire department calls, they would have to Uke their turn and he was sure that if "Central" knew where the flre was she would tell the fire department officials, btit thei« wonld be no guarantee that she would know. This waa laid over for far¬ ther conaideration with other budget matters relating to budget and fin¬ ances nntil Wednesday evening of this woek.
