At the present time he is Exalted Rul¬ er of the Elks and much of the social activity i  nthe village is due to that j lively lodge.   He is active in the Com-1 mercial Travelers Association and thr- i moving apirit of other activities.

Speaking generally, there ure some j unique spirits, who, serenely compla- ; cent in their own unconscious conceit,: aimitH^he importanc^i and uplifting in- ¦ fluence of present day fraternities and yet ask: "Why should I join?"    Usu¬ ally  such   persons  are  recognized   at their true  value, which  ia considera¬ bly less than the estimate they place upon themselves, and there is no real incentive to waste any effort in secur¬ ing their membership.
Others, with greater wisdom, less ingrained selfi.shness, and a stronger desire to be of some use to their day and gcnerntion, appreciate that in joining a modern fraternity a mem Ver receives, as it were, the chisel abil¬ ity and the mallet opportunity with which to carve out of the marble time an enduring monument in the hearts ot men, such a member brings forth.

Freeport has been particularly fort¬ unate as to its fraternities, not only <»¦ to the members belonging thereto 1 but also as to the conspicuous part ivhich they have taken in the village and in the various orders to which they belong. A large part of the re¬ markable growth of this village may really be attributed to this source. Adults are but children of a larger jprowth. They have their serious prob- Tants and cares, ahd tH^ genial sun¬ shine and warmth which they find in j their moments of relaxation amidst the fraternities help greatly to make them contented and happy here in this beautiful village.
Spartan Lodge No. 956, of Free and Accepted Masons, started most ausp^ eiously on November 8. 1918, with 86 • charter members, and^now has 178 West Merrick Road and is advancing members. It owns a valuable plot on rapidly in financial resources and in reputation for true Masonic work. To Smith F. Pearsall, its first Master, is due large credit. A brief reference to its officiary will disclose an eVen brighter future. George Wood, of Merrick, a brother of solid qualities and large heart, is Master; John L. (^ Raynor, a ritualist of note, is flanior Wurden; David A, Kennedy, a^^tle- man par exceljlence, ia Junior Wartlen; Ernest W, Ault, of genial qualities and able pen, is Secretary: and John H, Mahnken, prominent in business and civic circles, is Treasurer, and the «Bt of the officers are of equally high grade.

It was instituted February 18, 1908, and mow has almost thn^o hundred mem* bers, and its work is favorably known tliroughout Long Island and in the city. Its High Priest David A.

The Ladies' Aid Society of the Lutheran Church gave a minstrel show a the Freeport Club Wednesday even- iniC for t_he benefit of the Sons and Daughters of Liberty.
The cast was composed entirely of ladies and the exhibition was a splen¬ did success in every way. A liarge audience atended the performance and were generous with well merited ap¬ plause. The decorations of thi° hall were red and whit* and the scheme was carried to the dress of the per¬ formers, who were in white sailor suits and-fid hats with red ties. The end men, pardon, we mean end lad¬ ies, wore distinguishing red coats and the .whole wat a very pretty effect.
Everyone did splendidly and the act that composed the second part of the show was most amusing. Perhap:: the best sorgs of the evening were Mrs, Ohrl Miller's clever ''Sipping Cider*Through a Straw;" Misa Marie Kranv's "Fifteen Cents" and Mrs. Al¬ exander Forbes' "Mandy."
