Want a Referendum On
MonumMit Proposition
What Form Shall the Proposed Monu¬ ment for Our Soldiers and Sailor  Boys Take?
That is the question the World War Memorial Association is asking the citizens of Freeport to help them de¬ cide this week, is a questionnaire sent out to several hundred residents.
The Association held a meeting at the Freeport Club Friday evening, when the Plan and Scope Committee submitted its report. The report was received with a vote of thanks—and filed. As stated in the Nassau County Review last week, this report recom¬ mended the placing ' of a Tiffany bronze monument in the triangle in front of the First National Bank. The Association did not agree with the committee sufficiently to adopt the recommendation, and after spending the evening without coming to any de¬ cision as to what to erect, agreed to submit the question to this vote by postal replies. These are to be re¬ turned to the secretary, Hiram R. Smith, and tabulated. The Associa¬ tion will meet again next Monday ev¬ ening to hear the result and take fur¬ ther action.

Electric Employees On Salars^
At the regular meeting of the Vil¬ lage Board of Trustees at a prolonged session last Thursday aftemoon, it was unanimously decided, upon rec¬ ommendation , of Village President Robert 6. Anderson, to place all em¬ ployees of the Village Light and Wat¬ er Plant on a salary instead of pay¬ ing by the day with extra for over¬ time work-as heretofore. yUarry A. Willing has been in charge of the re¬ pair >and extension work on the plant since the village installed its own el¬ ectric light works, and has engaged and paid his helpers and collected from the village. President Ander-' son explained his .idea that this was n9t a thorough business proposition, with which the Trustees agreed, and after a consultation with Mr. Wall¬ ing, it was agreed to make his salary $1,600 a year; that of Norman Dean, his lineman, $1,500 a year, and the ground man or helper, Clinton Wall- isg, $1,000.
The last bill rendered by Mr. Wall¬ ing for these three men, including himself, was at the rate of $1.70 per hour, which figures to about the same amount, but under the new agreement President Anderson ex¬ plained  there  would  be  no  necessity

velt. All the hymns sung were fav¬ orites of Mr. Roosevelt, as Mr. Rog¬ ers, the organist, had a list of them given him by Miss Roosevelt. /Last Monday evening the annual parish social given under the direc¬ tion of the Vestry, was held. Th? large attendance and wonderful spirit of co-operation shown proved it to be a great success. The financial report of the past year was read by Ekimund Cheshire. Besides showing a strong credit side, the report revealed that the parish had helped to the extent of one thousand dollars in Liberty Bonds, which fact brought forth great ap¬ plause. The budget for this year was read and while it is much larger than that of last year, there was no doubt in the mind of the people that it would be more than met.
Thomas Burleigh, senior warden, spoke of the growth of the church. He gave so good an account of the parish that the meeting by unanimous vote, made him parish historian, with the urgent request that he write the story of the church's life.
Everyone then sat down to refresh- mests which were provided under the direction of Montgomery Milbank. When the meeting broke up with music and song, everyone was ready to meet the responsibilities of the fu¬ ture with courage and great joy.

The foundations of our social and religious life, as a people, are laid in the Sunday Schools of the land. It is the great support of religious instruc¬ tion in our homes. Do you know that thousands of children in the City of New York are being taught every week the doctrines of Godless social¬ ism and anarchy? Oae of Brooklyn's greatest preachers has shown this to be true. Our Sunday Schools were never so needed as now. Is your boy or girl in the Sunday School ?

Dr. William J. Thompson, Profes¬ sor at Drew Theological Seminary, Madison, N. J., and formerly pastor of Simpson M. E. Church, Broolclyn, will preach Sunday evening at 7:30. Dr. Thompuon has many friends and form¬ er parishioners in Freeport, who will once more be pleased to hear his mas¬ terly presentation of the truth. Bishop Luther B. Wilson to Sp^k in the Church on Sunday Mondng
The people of Freeport and vicinity will have the opportunity on Sunday moming to hear Bishop Luther B. Wil¬ son, who has recently returned from France, where he went to personally leam of the needs of our l>oys on the firing line rather than send one of his subordinates. He spent ten months in Europe as Director of Spiritual Work for the Y. M. C. A. and will tell of some of his experiences amid the dan¬ gers of shot and shell. Bjshop Wil¬ son's Episcopal jurisdiction is the Metropolitan District and ihcludes New York-City, Long Island, New York State, southeast portion of Con¬ necticut and half of the State of New Jersey.
The Board was not dissatisfied with Mr. Walling's bills, but thought the change would tend toward efficiency.
President Anderson estimates that the saving to the village by the ad¬ justment of time for extra work will be from $800 to $1,200 a year.
At the same meeting the compensa¬ tion of C. 0. Niles, electric light trim¬ mer, was raised from $107.50 to $110, and Henry E. Rider, electric meter reader and collector, from $95 to $100.
At the same meeting is was decided to have a consultation Sunday after¬ noon regarding the claim of Adam Yulch, village motorcycle officer, for damages as the result of running into a tree while riding his machine along the Merrick Road, a^ Yulch claims, on official duties. Dr. William H. Run¬ cie and Dr. Julien pean will examine Mr. Yulch as to his physical injuries, while Trustee H. L. Maxson will rep¬ resent the village, and both will be represented by their attorneys. Yulch claims compensation for his injuries under the Workmen's Compensation Law.
George Bennett Smith aaked for special attention to his electric power charges. He wanted the Board to al¬ low the computation to include the three meters so that he could secure the rebate for whole quantity used in his three buildings, running around $70 a month, or if not he would change his wiring so that it would all reg¬ ister through one meter. The Board declined to allow him special rebate and decided if he wai:ted this all met¬ ered on one meter he should pay for the meter himself, as the village had none in stock large enough to take care of it. The placing of the meter will release three small ones which would cost about the same as the one larger one required.
Chief Electrician Harry A. Walling was authorized to get a 37 K. V. A. transformer and turn in for credit a similar quantity of bumed out trans¬ formers. This large transformer is for emergency work in case of trans¬ former trouble, and is also large enuf to use for thawing out frozen water mains.
A complaint was received as to the condition of Frederick Avenue, south from Grand Avenue, and requesting relief. The complaint was a proper one and was referred to the Street Commissioner for action.
W. C C S. NOTES
(Official Colurtin) Thoee   Dancing   Regnlatiooa
The Brooklyn Eagle, and some equally reliable' New York papers, have been having "lota of fun" with those string^t rules adopted by the Entertainment Committee for;,«gula- tion of dances at oor club house.
In the first place let us remark that any person, male or female, soldier or civilian, who feels that these regula¬ tions are too stringent, is not invited to the ciub house—nor wanted. We have plenty who agree that the rules are proper and have a good time while keeping them. In the second place, the rules were not promulgated by the local committee at aB, but are in force in all "khaki and blue" dances all over the country. They are somewhat dif¬ ferent, by the way, from the rules one of our duty men heard at a dance he attended recently similar to ours, but not under control of the W. C. C. S., where the secretary in charge an¬ nounced before the dance began:
"Anyone who starts anything here will be chucked out the door."
In contrast to. the senseless items above referred to is this fair and pleasant comment in the Rockville Centre Observer after a personal visit to the rooms by their representative: Unjust Criticism  ^

We again call attention to the fact that the Soldiers Welfare Association of Nassau County, Inc., has estab¬ lished, and has in readiness for the uae of the veterans of this war, a me¬ morial to>the heroes who have fought, and who have spent their blood and their lives for our security.

Rules that have taken all the joy out of life were passed yesterday by the comniittee in charge of the Sol¬ diers and Sailors Club House in Free- port, L. I. They are posted in a con¬ spicuous place in the hall.   They read:
"Girls will only be admitted by in¬ vitation.
"No girls under eighteen admitted to the dances.
"Girls will^dance one dance with each partner. '
"Exchange "no names or addresses I with the soldier boys at the dances.
"Girls will not enter or leave club! house with men in uniform.
"Girls invited to dance will remain in the dance room during the dance.
"The committee reserves the right to call in cards at any time."
It is quite certain that the Frea¬ port Committee made only such rules as were necessary. They are famil¬ iar with the environment, the folk of the community and men of the neigh¬ boring camps. If anything, they are to be commended and not criticized.
The following contributions are not¬ ed on the duty book:

Work of Entertainment Committee
The regular Saturday night dance was well attended. There were about forty girls present and 125 boys. One of the features of the dance was the singing of the different war songs by the dancers while they were dancing.
On Sunday evening the Y. M. C. A, of New York sent out five girls who entertained the boys with music and songs. They were assisted by our committee, consisting of Mr. Kelsey and Mr. and Mrs. Watkins. Miss En¬ nis also sang for the boys and her singing was enjoyed immensely by all who heard her.
On Monday evening twenty-two of thc girls went to the dance at Recrea¬ tion Hall, Camp .Mills, chaperoned by Mrs. Fenton and Mrs. Sutphin. They were brought home in one of the big army truciia with a party of twenty- four girls from Rockville Centre and all voted a grcAt time.
Freeport is sending two double quartets of girls to the camp hospital on Sundays to sing for the wounded and sick boys. Mrs. Albin Johnson, Miss Nina Humphrey and Miss Speir are in charge of thia great work.
The regnlar Saturday dance will be held tomorrow night and on Sunday nigbt the Y. W. C. A. will aend out viother ainging leader with aaaiat- ants to help entertain the boys.
Mr. Holland of the entertainment committee is being praised by every- bo<1y for the excellent order main¬ tained at tho dances and the general good time everybody has. It is some job ''o keep watch over 125 boys and have the dance go on the sam<! as it would in a private houae. The boya are all with him and obey him in every¬ thing he aaka them to do. * The military police as usual were on hand fct the dance, but the general behavior of the boya that attend leaves them with nothing to do.
There arA about ei^ty carda to girls out at the preaent time. Appli¬ cations keei coming in from girls from neighlioring towns, but owing to the limited floor space the committee have had to hold the cards for local girls only.
The entertaiament committee have been complimented by scores ci boys and also from headqaarters on the ex¬ cellent clasa oif girls that attend our daaces. Before a g^ receives a card she haa to give the namea oif two p«o- pk in tcmim to vr^^h fbr h«r. (Cantfnasi >• FWgs S)
be can¬ celled by the erection of a granite shaft, a community hous^ or a public library.
No doubt any one of these would be an ornament to our village, but they all fall short of the purpose for which they are proposed—that is, to be an expression of Freeport's gratitude to those to whom we are indebted, be¬ cause they leave the contributors and the community with a sense of duty done.
But is our duty done? Think of the crippled and otherwise disabled!
"The object of a memorial to our soldiers and sailors is two-fold. First, to keep their deeds continually in the memory of the community and so, to honor them. Second, to acknowledge our inlebtedness to them.
Indebtedness implies and presup¬ poses repayment.
A granite shaft or a library might keep in memory those to whose honor it was erected, but our Association feels that the only repayment we can ever make to our boys for their ser¬ vicea is to provide for the comfort and pleasure of all veterans of this war so long as one remains. And this to be quite apart from anything our Gov¬ emment will do for them in the mat¬ ter of insurance and pensions.
Why tax the people of Freeport with the maintenance of another Com¬ munity House or the upkeep of an or¬ nate library, when there is already in operation in Freeport a Soldiers and Sailors Memorial House of size sufficient to accommodate and provide healthful recreation, comfort and entertainment for all the veter¬ ans, inclusive of the disabled, of Nas¬ sau County.
This Association once again invites ita neighbors of Freeport and vicinity to visit our house at 392 South Grove Street, join our organization and co¬ operate with us in keeping in memory and repaying our tremendous debt of gratitude to our boya.
And  we also invite collectively, as we   have   already   done   individually, the   co-operation  of  the   World   War Memorial  Association of Freeport. Very sincerely, (Mrs.) GERTRUDE IDE WOOD, Sec. pro tem.

Thc usual monthly luncheon and business meeting of the Red Croas Auxiliary was held Monday at the Fire House. There was quite a good attendance but not as large as it should have been. It seems too bad that so many people think because the. Armistice was signed that "the war ia over." Yes, it's true, hostilities are at a standstill, but the work of the Red Cross must go on; the sewing for our boys still over there and the relief of the devastated countries who look to us for help must not be denied and won't you Red Cross members please come and still do your bit? tt would not be asked of you if it was not need- .^ ed. Every hour you give helps, and ^i does not make it so hard on tJ^e few faithful ones. A committee waV^j);,^ pointed to arrange for a pinochle and i dance to be held in the early part of February at the fire hall, possibly the llth, Lincoln's Birthday Eve. Par¬ ticulars will be given later.
We are sorry to learn of the seri¬ ous illnesa of Judson Alien, formerly of this place, but now residing in Bell¬ more. At latest reporta he is greatly improved.
First Discharged Wounded Freeport Lad Now Honie««
George S. Anderson has retumed^.* home with his honorable discharge, '.^i two gold service stripes for everseaa service and with the results of being in close contact with un explosion of an ammunition train un which he wai riding.
The editor met Anderson Monday-; aftemoon and found him quite willing' to talk about his comrades but not ap- ' parently thinking his own part worUl^^ elaborating on. Of course we thought .j differently and did our best to find^' out what he had been through that he.,^ was home ahead of the other boys of " the 15th, which had given such a fine account of itself during the war,       ..^
Why was he home ahead of the otitd ers ?    Oh, he did not get buck in timi*^ to find the other boys—just got oirt;;^ of the hospital on the llth of Novem¬ ber.
Then you Were wounded?
Ye-es, I got mine a bit. ,
Then we finally induced him to exo 'I plain  partly about  the  shells  flyin|^ close  to  the  fammunition   wagon   oni which he was riding, the shells land¬ ing too close for comfort, and finally^^'r one making a clean hit and blowiaCvi up   the   ammunition  and  killing  tib« driver    and    four  horses.     He  wai wounded   in   the   stomach   and    hia back was burned, and he would nev«|^ be able to do any heavy work becauaei hia atomache was torn so, bat he wag all right
Ths local boys in that Ifith Regi'^ ment have made a wonderfnl reconi. The Regiment did splendid work ia the fight. It was made ap entirely td volunteera and went into the figktiiw eariy.
