HeK is the preamble to the consti¬ tution of the American Legion, a copy of which I happened to pick up and which may be of interest to a num¬ ber of our Service men not yet con¬ nected with this very important or- 'ganization.
For God and country we associate ourselves together for the following purposes:
To uphold and defend the consti¬ tution, law and order; to foster and perpetuate a one hundred per cent. Americanism; to preserve the memo-

How Many in Freeport?
The News appreciates the interest displayed by the Freeport Review in the effort of this publication to se¬ cure an authentic list of ex-service men but it might be interesting to know how many of the 500 ex-service men Freeport boasts of are members of ihe American Legion and are try¬ ing to make this country 100 per cent.

Activity of American Legion
Much satisfaction was experienced as to the progress of the Freeport Branch of the American Legion, by the attendance at the fourth meeting of the William Clinton Story Post No. 842, held Friday evening, October 10.
A membership of 109 paid up mem- bars was reported, being an increase of 22 members over the previous meet¬ ing. The membership committee is canvassing the neighboring villages in an effort to enroll all ex-service men.
' It was decided to hold a dance on Armistice  Day,  November  11.    It  is ' hoped that all Freeporters will  lend their support to this affair.
It is earnestly requested by the members of the Post, that the village Committee on the memorial proposi¬ tion will get into communication with the Legion Memorial Committee to take up this matter immediately.

Methodist Church on Sunday night said; "Seventy per cent, of the crime is committed by young men under 22 and of the thousands of cases before me during the past sixteen years there hhs been only one who was actively associated with a Sunday School." This is a fine testimony to the effi¬ cient work of the Sunday Schools of all denominations. Help us make our religious schools more efficient and encourage us in this work by sending to us your children, if they are not attending some other Bible School.

Thursday evening Bible studies still continue in the Apocalypse. Have you an understanding of this book? It is a revelation not a mystery, and over it is written "Blessed is he that read- eth."

There are many ways in which Freeport could be bettered. In the first place, the school system could be made more perfect. A new high school is needed so that the present one could be used by the grammar grades which are crowded and could be great¬ ly benefitted by the extra room. The new high school should have a gym¬ nasium for the use of tlie pupils, be¬ cause the only one there is, at pres¬ ent, is in the Columbus Avenue School and that is not as large as it ought to be.
Another way our village could be improved is the building of better roads. Many of the Freeport streets are all holes, bumps and mud. While

much to be done. Some streets also ought to have more lights on them. Work along that line is also being done.
The one- thing, however, which would do Freeport the most good would be a community house of some sort. This building could contain a library, a large hall where meetings could be held, and places to go to, this would keep many of the younger populatioa off the streets and great¬ ly raise the morale of the community.
If these things I have mentioned were done, I think Freeport would be a much better community and offer even more attractions to newcomers than it does now, and that is saying a great deal.

Most of these items refer to '(he condition of our roads. It would have been a good point to bring out in the discussion in the class the fact of the impossibilityof getting Peekskill grav¬ el during the war, and the handicap under which our Village Board thru its Street • Commissioner worked in getting the roads in the good condi¬ tion that so many of them are at the present time.—Editor.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
The Columbus Day exercises, held last Friday were unusually good. The first number on the program was a selection by the High School Orches¬ tra. This was followed by an address entitled "Four Centuries Completed," very ably given by Milton Seaman. The orchestra then gave another en¬ joyable selection and Francis Haight gave a reading, "Mrs. Christopher Co¬ lumbus." Otalie Spedick then gave another reading, "Christopher C—." The program was concluded by anoth¬ er selection, a march, by the orches¬ tra.
The F. H. S. football team won its third victory last Saturday when it defeated Adelphi Academy with a score of 19-6. Freeport certainly is proving her worth in the football line this season.

Monday was a holiday in the schools in celebration of Columbus Day.
The Junior-Senior party, which was given last Friday night, was very suc¬ cessful. Tableaux were given and games played. Later on dancing was tho order of the evening. Punch, sand¬ wiches and cakes were served and ev¬ eryone had a thoroughly enjoyable ev¬ ening.
Saturday, October 18, will be field day. One of the prominent features will be a football game. Buy a tag— they're only a dime apiece.
Instead of sixty subscriptions, as was stated last week, there were one hundred and thirty handed in for the "Student."   Quite a difference.
