The engagement is announced o£ Miss Anna Lampceebt of Baltimore, Md., to Arthur E. Hewlett of this place. Mr. Hewlett is the son of Mrs. WM. E. Hewlett, residing at the cor¬ ner of Merrick Avenue and Merrick Road. No date for the wedding has been fixed, but probably it will occur in the early Fall.
A large gathering, more than a hun¬ dred, attended the meeting called last Monday night at the school houi^e to consider "Electric Light for Merrick." About twenty-five per cent, of thoae present turned in signed contracts as requested by the Nassau Light and Power Company for purposes of deter¬ mining possibilities and probabilities of stretching their lines to the sec¬ tion known as the South Side Ligh^ inir District, including Merrick, Smith- vine i-'outh, Bellmore, Wantagh and .'eaforii.Evidently there is a desire for the coming of electricity to our village and so far as Merrick is con¬ cerned it appears that tbe project will not bf retarded for lack of a propor¬ tionate number of consumers, but wheth^^r the other village.s will be able to find adequate subscribers perhaps is a question, though it is hoped not impossible that they will. |t was re¬ marked at the meeting that every little back-woods village has its elec¬ tricity and that it was a reflection upon our progressiveness that our vil¬ lages did not enjoy the advantages of electricity for light and power. Mr. Larson was present to represent the Nassau Light and Power Company and made an excellent impression up¬ on the gathering. Mr. Mauersberger of Freeport, representing himself and other practical electrical operators, was greatly appreciated for the frank and able manner in which he answer¬ ed the various questions of the house¬ holders es to methods and costs of in¬ stalling electricity. The committee which signed the call for the Monday meeting will continue active in the work of bringing electricity to Mer¬ rick. .Mr. John H. Snodgrass was chairman of the r^eting.
Graduation exercises of the Class of 1919 of the local grammar school were held in the fire hall on Friday night last. The program was in threj parts: 1, Graduation Proper; 2, Dances; 3, The Brownie Band. Each part was a great success in its order, and reflected credit which was given without stint by the large au¬ dience in attendance upon the grad¬ uating class and upon the school fac¬ ulty. All the faculty except our well- liked and most satisfactory principal, Mr. Powell, leave us this year. Tney left in a blaze of glory when they enabled the children with the aid of Mrs. Charles A. Calkins to present "The Brownie Band." Opinion was unanimous that the school has never before presented anything so taking for elaborateness, interest and finish. We are sure that our departing teach¬ ers leave the children with new ideals of possibilities. The dances, first by four girls, "The Awakening of Spring and then "The Dance of Jol- ster" by two boys in costume, was cleverly executed and liberally ap¬ plauded. The graduates and their parts in the program were John F. Britton, President's Address and Ora¬ tion; Essay "Good Results of the War," Arthur W. Moore; Essay, "Pre¬ pared for Better Things." Helen Otto. Miss Otto also rendered a piano solo with a grace which demonstrates good talent. Howard E. Bartow read an essay on "Universal Military Training." The diplomas were pre¬ sented by Mx. A. C. Doane, Trustee. In a natural and characteristic ad¬ dress to the graduates Mr. Doane stressed the importance of the occa¬ sion to the class and the value of ed¬ ucation, which, said he, "You can not get too much of."
Following the moming service at the Church of the Redeemer on Sun¬ day the following members were rais¬ ed by the rector to the standing of "Senior Members," which is a station of honor involving certain set obliga¬ tions; the Misses Fanny and Margar¬ et Wood, Miss Minnie Hutton, Misu Julia Bums, and Miss Grace Tween.
The Annual Fair of the Church of the Redeemer held in the Parish House last Wednesday, was the uvual social success, and much more than the usual financial success. $1000.00 net was the outcome of the efforts put forth. The rector and Vestry desire to thank very much all of those who contributed in one way and another to the splendid result achieved. With the proceeds it is intended to install in the Rectory a modem heatinff plant.
