A meeting of the Freeport Federa¬ tion was held at the Freeport Club House Friday evening. No changes wore made in the officers, and it was decided to re-open the Headquarters for Soldiers and Sailors as soon as conditions seemed to warrant, possi¬ bly within the next two or three weeks. The Committee on Accommo¬ dations is now busy arranging its plans and schedules for the coming year. They have a list of their neigh¬ bors who 8er\-ed last Fall, bot can use more volunteers and any person who wishes to assist is invited to com¬ municate with S. F. Pearsall, chair¬ man, stating the times he can give best. The Headquarters are to be open the same as last Fall, weekdays from 6 to 10 p. m., Saturday from 2 to 10 p. m. and Sundays from 10 a. m. to 11 p. m.

' A TRIBUTE
To Our Firat Citizen
William Clinton Story
They stand before high Heaven's open gate Great souls wbo fought and died - that Peace might be Upon this earth—in place of tyrants, kings. They     died     for     principle—the world's democracy.
Their hands that God for human aer¬ vice msde Are frenzied, dripping    with    the .stain of Mars Their eyes lit with the fury of the fight Tho' blind outshone the glory of the stars— Their task so mighty—Was this all God's will That they    should    then forget— "Thou shalt not kill."
When look! a youth to whom life was most sweet He oflfered all—his courage, fire and faith- Life's fullest measure and his heart's last beat, His sacrifice  is  blest—his  task  is complete. He stands before his Maker glorious! and lo! His hands are white.
Written  for  the   Nassau     County Review by Genevieve C. Porter. March 1, 1918.
Freeport Aviator Buried
with Military Honors
The funeral services of William Clinton Story were held at the home of his parents, Mr, and Mrs. Fred E. Story, West Merrick Road, Sunday aftemoon, the house being too small to accommodate the host of sympa¬ thizing friends and neighbors who fathered to do last honofs to this reeport lad—Freeport's flrst war victim.
Rev. J. Sidney Gould, the young man's pastor, spoke briefly, but feel¬ ingly, of the soldier lad's life and of his death and Rev. S. O. Curtice,-pas¬ tor of the M. E. Church, recited "Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory of the Coming of the Lord."
Following the services the body was escorted to Greenfleld Cemetery by a military guard from the Aviation Field at Mineola, and military honors were given at the grave.

LOCAL TOraS
Village Boys Own Flag We were ^lad that tiie Village Board, as one of its last official acts, instructed the Village Clerk to pur¬ chase a flag for the ViUage pole. The plan of having various organisations donate flags was all right, but it made some few pay most of the cost where now everybody is given an opportuni¬ ty CO contribute his half penny and there should not be any further ex¬ cuse for lack of flags from the village IwIe or the display of a dirty and fraz¬ zled flag.
The Board also officially authorized the Police Department to display the flag at half mast on receipt of the notice of the death of any of our vil¬ lage boys in the service of the coun¬ try. The question was raised as to whether this might be "anticipating trouble," but the Board decided that this was the right thing to do—war is not a holiday or a picnic, and our boys leave home with the thought that they may not come back and although most all will come back—one has given his life, others have left and are leaving with the expectation and even the willingfnesB to flo so, if it will help in the result toward which all are working.
