Opens Headquarters
(Official Communication) Lafit week the local Young Wo- ¦Mn'a Christian Association moved in¬ io, the rooms formerly occupied by the Carrolton Realty Company, 34 South Grove Street, and from now on the meetings «f the various classes and elaba will be held in this central loca- tbm. Many people have not been aware of the broad activities of the Yoang Women's Christian As-ocia- tioB in thia vicinity, but the local sec¬ retaries have organized the girls of tbis community into clubs with defin¬ ite programs for the four-fold devel¬ opment along spiritual, mental, physi¬ cal and service lines. Through the en¬ larged facilities more girls can _ be reached and interested and all girls who are not now included in ihe mem¬ bership of the various corps of Girls' Reserves or the High School Blue Tri¬ angle Cluh are invited to apply to Miss Hanna or Miss Johnion at the' Y | rooms. {
In addition to the existing organiza¬ tions classes in millinery, baskatry and handicrafts will be formed both for evening and Saturday aftemoon meetings and a reading club for the perusal and discussion of modem fic- i tion, poetry and drama will be formed j for those who have felt a need for a I definite reading plan, but because ofj the lack of it have neglected this I broadening influence. I
.The  membership  fee  is  one  dollari per year, and the secretaries will be glad to receive enrollments before the | focal membership drive begins on Jan¬ aary 31.
The Yoang Women's Christian As¬ sociation came to Long Island as a direct result of the call of the war, and | operated under the War Work Coun¬ cil, especally in towns near "the ?amps. The work has gone on for over a year and a half. Girls' Clubs called Patri¬ otic Leagues were formed which car¬ ried on a recreation service program; | a Girls' Conference was held; a sum¬ mer camp for girls was run for two 1 weeks; an aM island swimming cam-! paign and local water spprts created friendly rivalry between towns. A delegation of twelve High Scbool girls i attended the Young Women's Chris¬ tian Association Summer Conference] at Altamont,
Now a permanent organization is to be formed February 7. The pro¬ gram includes vocational and employ¬ ment work, Americanization work, physical traiiiing, recreation, dramat- C8 and music, handicrafts, civics and discussional groups on fundamental thinga, summer camps and conferenc¬ es. *

Ferrva Wins
Contempt Moti6n
The Long Island Railroad pursuing its general policy to stop the sale or rental of commutation tickets, pro¬ cured an order to snow cause from Judge Faber against Dominick Fer¬ rara why he should be punished for contempt in violating an injunction order issued by Judge Callahan against him in October restraining him from the trafBc in commutation tickets.
The motion for contempt was based on an affidavit of a detective of the Long Island Railroad to the effect that Dominick Ferrara had sold to him di¬ rectly a commutation ticket for one day for 6^ and that the brother of Dominick Ferrara had also' violated this injunction order by selling a tick¬ et for a period of fifteen days. The motion was argued in Brooklyn by Edward Newburn of the Long Island Railroad and was opffosed by George Morton Levy of Freeport, attorney for Dominick Ferrara.
After reading all affidavits, Judge Cropsey decided that witnesses should be heard nnd accordingly Doth sides submitted witnesses who testified In Court with the result that Judge Crop- ity denied tne motion of the Railroad Co. to pu.iish Ferrara for contempt. Vt the request of Mr. Levy, an order n that o.Tect was signed by Judge Jrcpaey in iirooklyn.
It is n IW stated that Dominick Fer¬ rara has sold out his barber business entirely to that he will not be in any position of being accused covistantly of violating this injunction order.

SERMONETTE
Freeport is pre-eminently a busi¬ ness village, a large percentage of its inhabitants are business men.
They will agree that what this woitd needs is more practical religion end immediately contradict themselves by telling you that religion cannot be carried into all the avocations and business of life.
But if any of these dissenters will attend the Sunday evening service the pastor will point out to them that it is possible.
And is it not high time, when ethi¬ cal values in shop and store are se¬ renely disagreed? .
When practical religion gets its fuU swing in the world, it will come to the shoe store and rip off the fictitious soles of many fine looking <)air of shoes and show that it is pasteboard sandwiched between the leather.
All things must be watched and in¬ spected. Imperfections in the wood covered with putty.
Garments warranted to last at least for three wearrngs.
Pure woolen suits, made of impure cotton that even a boll weevil would disown.
Bookbindery that holds until you read the third chapter.
Plastering that cracks without any provocation and falls off.
Plumbing that needs to be plumbed. . Olives, that you and I have eaten for a score of years in perfect safety suddenly develope a "bottle disease," and some packer today finds his hands red with the blood of seven victims he has slaughtered by careless or dis¬ honest methods.
Breakfast cereals made out of pea¬ nut shells.
Shoes of stout oak leather, guaran¬ teed to wear out in three monUis, and so on ad infinitum.
The law of man can never rectify these thihgs.
It will be the all pervading influ¬ ence of the practical religion of Jesus Christ, that will make the change for the  better.

One.good sign is that more people are going to church. "There was a slump for a while in church attendance and during that period conditios ge^i- erally did not improve. The best of it is men are taking more interest in church work, which is the most help¬ ful of all the signs. Usually a man lets his wife assume all the religious responsibility of the family. No man ever lost anythi.ig by going to church, but on the contrary he gained some¬ thing.

The Roosevelt
Presbyterian Mission
The Union Sunday School which has been for so long^a.part of the life an; history of Roisevcit is to be further strengthen^ by the securing of Rev. H. E. Moyer of New York, a student at the Tra Ining, School on Lexington Avenue, to help in the work and hold a supp!>imeBtary preachiiig service. Mr. Moyer is the acting pastor of tho Massapequa Pre byterian Church. That church holds its service in the mom¬ ing and has no second service, so Mr. Moyer is at liberty to help at some other point. He is a speaker of fine presence a'.id niagnetisni'. He has had quite a little experience in preaching in Pennsylvania. He comea- to this field with a, message and a spirit of friendlineas tbat will make him many^ friends, and render him a worker of power. The service is held at the mis¬ sion chapel on the Turnpike at 2:30 o'clock.
.Speaking of Salariea
We note that salaries are bei'ag rais^ ed all along the line, and in most cas¬ es the raises are entirely in order. One branch of workers that are not properly paid is school teachers. Their salaries are not anywhere near where they should be. We have spoken of this before.
. .\nother branch of public workei's who are not getting proper compensa¬ tion are our policemen, referring par¬ ticularly because we are better ac¬ quainted there, to the village of Free- port where a policeman works in the most disagreeable kind of -yfeather, and under very difficult conditions, for the total sura of $1320 per year. While no change can be made t':'"> •-eti-, *h" end of the year is near at hand and the village Board of Trustees will have , the task of considering this when muk ing their budget. The amount should not be less than $30 a week at a mini mum ahd $35 would be more in keep¬ ing with the times.
Patriot iNm
(Written for the Nas.sau County Re- vicv, l)y Alary 11. Johnson, D. A. R., N. Y. C. C.)
True patriotism is, it seems to me, after all nothing more than rlghteus- ness. If we are truly righteous we must be "patriotic. Patiiotism is not based upon what the Fourth of July orator or the political demagogue would seem to make it. It has no ref¬ erence to enormous fortunes, mam¬ moth commercial enterprises, great armies or (jreat navies. True patri¬ otism is that emotion in us which is based upon love of country.
Its basic principle is love and the true patriot should glory not so.much in the material prosperity of his coun¬ try, as in the rijrhteousness of the na¬ tion. True patriotism has in it lovo of country, love of home, love of man, love ol all that is good, i^rand and no¬ ble. Patriotism Shows itself not in bragging about our country, but rath¬ er in doing something that will make our nation better, every tablet put up, j every monument erected, every his¬ toric anniversary celebrated wi 1 be but the occasion of vain glory and empy boastful pride/ I cannot re¬ frain from expressing my sincere de¬ light at the interest gliowii in the mat- '¦ ter of educational work on patriotic ! lines. To instruct a child in patriot¬ ism means the implanting in the child's heart and mind thoae great principles upon which all reverence of the flau: is founded; it means the imparting of historical knowledge, the .study of ¦ patriotic character, the awakening of an intelligent love for our country, low and order for justice and equity.; It means the putting in practice the rules of brotherly love; it means to install in the child's very nature the love and worship of God, the Father of nations, and here in this country of ours we need this teaching more than all else. Our great Washinifton has said that morality cannot be main¬ tained without religion apd that rea¬ son and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can pre¬ vail in exclusion of religious princi- plea.

Reuter, Major J. B. Christoffel, Edward Jonasch, Eugene Carpenter, R. H. Johnston, jr., and William S. Christy, are hard at work completing arrangements for the card party and dance to take place in the fire hall, Saturday evening, the 24th inst. The contest will consist of pin¬ ochle, five hundred and euchre, and suitable prizes will be awarded for the winner in each of the three games. Refreshments will be served and danc¬ ing will follow the games.
There i.s quite a demand for these home-like card parties in the fire hall and they are well patronized and en¬ joyed. It i.s expected there will be a good turnout for the coming affair, and inasmuch us the proceeds are for the niotor truck fund, which is climb¬ ing steadily and has now reached a good .substanti.Tl figure, the members are doing their utmost to bring out the people, who always feel that they will enjoy a good night's fun. No tickets have been issued, the admission of 50 cents, to be collected at the door.
The next meeting of the company will take place on Tuesday evening, February 3, at which, of course, Fore¬ man Hays will preside, and the new .secretary, Henry Kasschau, record the proceedings.

An Appeal for  Pure Milk (Contributed)
I am only sorry that more people did not near Village Health Offlcer Runcie's interesting talk on pure milk delivered to the Freeport Mothers' Club on Wednesday aftemoon at the Columbus Avenue School. As a sin¬ gle individual in private life, I can not do much, but I think there should be publicity along the lin^a of the ne eessity for pujre milk ,for everyone and the way to go about getting it.
There is only one way to really get it and that is to insist that dealers un der penalty of law cannot let Grade C milk masquerade as Grade A. Legis lation mu3t take this in hand anH make it a punishable offence, not to iive up to requiremants. Because mill- doesnt look dirty to the naked eye is no proof that it is clean. It mus 6e aome eye to see bacteria, if in cer tified milk there are 10,000 germs t a thimblefull. When milk is once i* our. homes let ua keep it covered and keep it cold until used. We hot) the Village Board ean help us make dealers live ap to standards.
Nathan Nohern died at his home in feast Meadow on January 9, aged 80 years. For about 60 years he had been a leading member of the M. E. Church at East Meadow and was one of the "faithful."
He had been honored by the church j with many offlces, and had been class leader, steward and trustee. He was a trustee of the church when he died. I He left a widow eighty-one years of age, with whom he had lived nearly , sixty years. She was a real helper and faithful wife, who served God and [served her family. He left eleven '. grandchildren and a good name which they may always cherish with fond memory. Two children, Irving No- hem and Mrs. Golden, are left to mourn the loss of a righteous father. Funeral service was held at the ,Afethodst Episcopal Church on Mon¬ day, January 12. TVe pastor, Bev. J. V. Williams, preached the funeral ser¬ mon from the text, Acts li:24, "He ' was a good man," and as he told of I the faithfulness of Nathan Nohem, ; all felt he had "fought the good fight jand kept the faith." He was a tem- i perate man, a true friend, a good citi- I zen. loving' husband, fond parent, a servant of God—yes, like the Apos- j tie Barnabas, "he was a good man." W.
