All the services of the church have been discontinued at the request of the Board of Health.
It seems most probable that there v/ill be no services on the coming Sun¬ day, but if nothing unforseen happens we may confidently look forward to Sunday, November 3 as a re-opening day. Let us plan to make it a great day. In the meantime please notify your minister promptly of all sick in the church and congregation that he may minister to them in their need.
Lutheran
By request of the Health OflBcer there will be no services in this church next Sunday. It is hoped that the epi¬ demic will bc abated so much that aervices can ho resumed the follow¬ ing Sunday. Watch the papers for sn announcement.

ACTIVITY OF PSRARY
JElaatern Star On Friday evening, October 12, at the regular meeting of tl/e freeport Chapter, O. E. S., the Matron, Mrs. Albert Hutton, planned a surprise. The order having finished the Red Cross quilt, she delegated four offi¬ cers to retire, who on presentation, were dressed as Red Cross nurses and carried the quilt preceded by the American flag, ainging "The Star Spangled Banner." Following ap¬ plause, the matron presented a check of $103 to tiie chapter,- which amount was raised on the quilt. This check is to be donated to the local Red Cross. The quilt is on display in the Arcade Pharmacy windows and later will be s^nt to one of the near-by hospitals

VD.LAGE TRUSTEES
At the regular meeting Thursday afternoon all present but Trustee Be¬ dell, a eammunication was received from the L. I. R. R. adviaing that the gates at the Henry Street crossing, which the company had been putting down all night long without having tried to secnre legal right to do this, would now be kept up except when trains were approaching.
A communication was received fron Mrs. Alice Schwab asking the aid of the Board in getting the military po¬ lice to remove the guard which pre¬ vents soldiers from entering the place. This was not in the line of work of the Board, and no action was taken be¬ yond filing the paper.
The Fire Council, through Deputy Chief Sn.ith, recommended the pur¬ chaae of 600 feet of hose as decided on by thc Council.
He also had with him a Pulmotor sent on exhibition, but as the repre¬ sentative af the company selling these was not pre^nt, after a brief demon- stration^by Mr. Smith, which im¬ pressed the members ¦^ry favorably, this was laid over till the next meet¬ ing so that the representative of the company might be present. The ma¬ chine seems very practical and looks as though it would not deteriorate from lack of use.
The Deputy Clii«f, on behalfj of Hose 2r asked for permission to order electric fixtures for the new housed nt a cost not to exceed $75. He was hi- structed to secure estimates and pre¬ sent tljtem at the next Board meeting.
Thomas Chilton, day man at the power house, was granted an increase of stilarj' of $5 a m<nith.

"In the line of patriotic duty the Freeport Public Library has taken an active part in the various campaigns for war relief.

This is following along the line of other clubs as the Rockville Centre Club, the Republican Club at Rich¬ mond Hill, and the Cedarhurst Club.
So far this Club has not been called Vipon to do much, as a club, for the soldiers beyond loan of house on sev¬ eral Occasions for private dances to which a small number of soldiers were invited, and entartaining soldiers on one occasion in connection with a Lib- terty Loan drive and on another oc¬ casion for the enterteinment commit¬ tee of the W. C. C. S., and many of the members feel that now is a time for the members to show their patri¬ otic principles by doing their share in entertaining the boys away from home, in view of the establishment of the permanent camp at Camp Mills this Winter.
There is a considerable opposition to the proposition on the part of those who use the club house regularly and who insist thai the Club has sufficient¬ ly demonstrated ita patriotism by lend¬ ing the house for meetings «f ihe Red Cross, Liberty Loan Committee, etc.
The taking of the Club House for the Red Circle work will not inter- feie with its use for tiiese purposes, but will do away with ite use entirely as a club house for members of the Freeport Club while so occupied.
Later.—The meeting will be held next Friday night, November 1.
Spanish Influenza
Reaches High Point
Dr. William H. Runcie, our local Health Officer, informs us that he thinks the epidemic of Spanish influ¬ enza has reached ita highest point, judging by the report of caaes. A total of 125 cases have been reported for Freeport up to Wednesday mom¬ ing, an increase from 68 since last Thursday.
Every effort has been made to pre¬ vent the spread of the epidemic.
Churehes, schools and movie places have bem closed.
Orderahave been iasued to saloons and soda fountain places to sterilize all drinking glasses after using.
It has been requested that no lodge meetings or other public gatherings be held where more than a dozen or fifteen men or women might congre¬ gate at once, aad stores have been re- queated net to allow more than a lim¬ ited nnmber in their places at one time.
It is thought tbat with these re¬ questa and orders being carried out fully tbe baa may be lifted in a very few day*. "^
In compliance with the regulation to avoid large gatherings of people at the present time, the regular monthly meeting of the Freeport Branch of the American Red Cro8%. will be omitted next Tuesday, the 29th.
At an executive meeting of the new¬ ly-elected officers held recently, the following-were appointed chairmen,9f the various committees: Mrs. Charles M. Hart, finance; Mrs. Berkeley Smith, surgical  dressings;   Mrs.  Albert Tol- •"'se '" the campaign beginning Nov

Christmas parcel labels are now being issued to the men abroad, one to each men, which he will send to his family or friend here, to be pasted on the parcel when ready to mail.
