AROmb THE TOWN
(B. T. B. C.)
I recently me^ th* lady. wh» owns the property mentioned in an item in this eolnmn, referring to an automo¬ bile accident where the car ran np on ^e irtdewalk and knocked »the fence dk>wn, at the northeast comer of Mer¬ rick Road and Ocean Avenoe (tnatead of the northwest comer as printed). Mrs. B. says that she had previonsly had a conference with one of our vil¬ lage police and he agreed that she hi^ «n entire right to have th^ fence there.. £%* says further that the man who knocked it dqwn paid hatpin tmi with a very nice letter of reg^ for the annoyance which she considered mi|^ty nice. So do I, and it is quitq poMible that if I lived at that corMr I ttight lieep the fence up myself, be- beniWMjWe do not all think alike; but at dtiTMnie time I personally wish it waa not there and incidentally I think that piece of property would' look much prettier without the fence, stand- ink off and above the road as it does, but that, too, is another question.
I read in the Hempstead Inquirer .that tbe Law Committee of the4r Chamber of Commerce, agitating city government in that village, issued a statement, saying that they "feel duty bound to state" that they hope to re¬ duce the cost of governing the city bringing it lower if possible than the sum now needed by the villafce author¬ ities. The calibre of the men who are agitating this movement is too high for anyone to believe that they are trying to deceive anybody, which brings us to the necessary conclusion that they are very much in ignorance , regarding municipal aiTairs and the ' cost of governing cities, for if Hemp¬ stead is ruled at a less cost under city government than it is as a vil¬ lage, I feel safe in saying that it will have the record of being the first city which has that novel, very novel, ex¬ perience.

Miss Mabel A. Hunt of West Palm Peach, Fla., is spending two weeks with Mr. and Mrs. Robert A. Miller,
An item in this column on the 12th inst. dealing with the right of way of automobiles, has caus'ed consider¬ able discussion, owing principally to general lack of, knowledge of the law, notwithstanding the Secretary of State has called attention to it, and cases have been tried under it in the Supreme Court and decisions ren¬ dered accordingly. The law plainly provides that cars on the right always nave the right at intersecting corners.
The Social Circle will meet with Mrs. M. Langdon next Friday even¬ ing, October 3, at 8:00 o'clock.

tions are provided, with a traffic offi¬ cer on duty to' regulate the traffic. The case we cited of Mrs. Von Tilzer and Miss Miller, comer Long Beach Avenue and Smith Street, was not to enter into a question of tbe techni¬ calities of this case, as to who might have reached the comer first, and who was going fast and who vras goipg slow, and no reflection upon the driver of either car. Mrs. Von Tilzer took from my writing that I meant she was to blame for the accident. That was not the idea, nor was the item writ¬ ten in that way, but merely to em¬ phasize the law. I might say that at thifc same time I had a discussion with one of our local automobile dealers wbo was willing to bet me that in a case at Court the driver of the Ford car, which struck the National, would have to pay the damages, notwith- ¦tanding the law. I told him I was not betting on the decision of the Jury at Court, but upon the law itself, and was not well enough acquainted with the actual facts in this case to want to take any chance on them. I have knoMi Mrs. Von Tilzer, so far as her driving cars is concerned, for several years, and have never known of her being in an accident, and in no way re¬ flected upon her ability to drive a car, nor did I enter into a discussion of the facts ia this case. My point was to emphaaize that she did not have the right of way simply because she was traveling on Long Beach Avenue whicb was a more frequented street than Smith Street. If Miss Miller was driving her car very fast and did not pay proper attention to the crossing, for instance, this would be a question of law, in which we were not interest¬ ed. The only fact is that a car on the right has the right of way, and a car on the left must be prepared to stop for it at any crossing.
Automobile drivers are 99 per cent, ignorant of tbis law, as are also mem¬ bers of police Jforces in various vil- lagres where i\'e have asked them re¬ garding it, in most cases never having heard of the law, and wantihg^ to ar¬ gue that there\ '^as no such law in several instances. This is the reason I took the law for mx "aermon," and not to try to enter into an argument as to who was to blame in that case, or to make any reflection that Mrs. Von Tilzer was careless in her driv¬ ing.
nounced the evening a succebs and ex tended    heartiest    congratulations to Leon.

Auto Thieves Busy
Matthew O'Neill of Smithville South, a taxi driver, charged with grand larceny in the second degree, was tried before Police Justice Clin¬ ton M. Flint last Thursday and dis¬ charged. O'Neill was taken into cus¬ tody by Police Captain John Dunbar after Mrs. Louise Bader of South Main Street, swore out a warrant, in which she charged that an automobile had been stolen from her and identi¬ fying the car as that in possession of O'Neill.
A few hours after the conclusion of the trial here Capt. Dunbar re<ieived word from the Hempstead police that an automobile had been stolen in Hempstead, and when he was given the description, Capt. Dunbar claimed that' the car was similar to the «Qe In which witnesses for O'Neill came here to attend the trial.
Capt. Dunbar is of the opinion that a gang of automobije thieves who specialize in certain makes of cars are in back of both thefts.. He ex¬ hibited a print of the figures of the figures of ^te engine number of the O Neill car and showed how the figure 9 had l>een clianged to an 8 by re- stamping it
O'NeiD's defense was that he had purchased the car from a man in Port Wi^shingtota and showed a bill of sale for the transaetion.—Eagle.

War Canap WfMrkers
Have FareweD Dinner
The active workers of the various committees connected with the Free- port War Camp Community Service participated in a farewell event at the Clnb House on Monday evening. While the committee would have liked to have invited everybody wt)o has had any share in the work, there is no hall large enough for this,- so it was limited to the active workers on the several committees who had contin¬ ued in the work until it finished, in¬ vitations being sent out by the chair¬ man of the respective committees, namely, the House, Canteen, Enter¬ tainment -and Girls' Work Commit¬ tees, and llO responded. The dinner was in charge' of the Crystal Lake House and the cost was paid by the diners, with the addition of some ma¬ terial left at the Club House, the menu including so^p, salad, flsh, roast turkey and vegetables, ice cream, cake, coilAe, cigars and candy.
President Sidney H. Swezey, who has been in charge of the Club since its organization in 1917, presided and introduced the speakers of the even¬ ing: Smith F. Pearsall, chairman of the Canteen Committee; Robert W. Nutt, chairman of the House Commit¬ ter; James A. Sutphin, chairman of Entertainment Committee; Mrs. Jas. A. Sutphin, chairman of Girls' Work; F. Howard Covey, Director Queevis- Nassau Counties; Walter H. Reynolds, assistant director; Mrs. Josephine E. Covey, director of Girls' Work, and Miss Faith Baldwin, her assistant, who is also editor of the Community Service Star. The professional en¬ tertainment of the evening was furn¬ ished by Harry Armstrong, the well- known song writer and leader, Thos. Debson and Miss Enifr Alexancn;!.   '
During the dinner presentations were made on behalf of the workers to Major Frank H. Hollaiid, who has been "floor manager" of the dances jt the Club House, and who drilled the giro for the parade on Labor Day, d scarf pin; to Mrs. Hartmann, who has had charge of the preparing of the coffee which has made such a rep¬ utation for the Club, a brooch; Mrs. Sutphin, who has kept the girls so actively interested in entertaining the visitors, a pin, and to the treasurer of the  Club, a  silver cigarette case.
The dinner was finished at about 10:30 and after the rooms were cleared entertainment was provided until after eleven, when the rooms were again cleared and dancing was enjoyed; and the members of the Girls'      Club

CtHRmuters and SoMiera
The following is" from one of the Rockville  Centre  papers, which  used to brag about its commutation fit.'ures: " "The public is asked by the men in  charge  to  assist  in  gettirg  to¬ gether an authentic list of the men who were in service.    Over 200 are known to have served, but the pres¬ ent lists show only about half this number."
This is the flrst effort we have not^ iced in any of the Rockville Centre papers to secure.an authentic list of the Service men, or any interest dis¬ played on the part of the newspapers in such a project. Perhaps the news¬ papers are not to blame, as there is not near so much money in it as in "playing sucker" for political bosses. That is not what we started out to say however, but merely to remark upon the claim that over 200 were, in the list, m a village which tri^ to put it¬ self in a class with Freeport where the list of Service men includes nearly 500 names.

Movements are under way to crea- ate among men an interest in church work. The purpose should be sup¬ ported even if for no other reason than its educative value. ' Take the church out of the world and see what would Jiappen. As it is tbere are tbou-" sandb and tens of thousands who would rather go to church and hear a good sermon than go to the movies. But they want to hear a good sermoh. They also want to be a part of a defin¬ ite, militant organization,, one that stands for something that they can see and feel and touch. More power to the movement.
Don't Know  What They Are Asking For
We wish our neighbors in Rockville Centre who are fighting so hard for a "subway" at the depot, would please come over and smell of ours. We have remarked to this effect before, but it seems that the smell "improves" with age.

Proud of His Home Town
The following letter from one of our Freeport men, who served with the 367th Infantry (Buffaloes) is re¬ ceived by tlie secretary of the Free- port Welcome Home Committee, ^d passed on to the people of Freeport who made this young lad, with our others, so proud of the home town:
Your letter of the 9th was received and also the medal and I am certain¬ ly proud of both.
'Words cannot express my apprecia¬ tion of the joy that you have brought to nie, and I am sure,' to others. I onc^ thought that I was forgotten since my return, but I see that the good people of Freeport haven't ov¬ erlooked any of the boys who did their share without grumbling. . So you din see how proud I am of my medal, for it is more than I expected, and morn also than this big City of New York has done for her boys. I have shown it to my friends and they aM are loud in their praises of Free- port
I want t6 thank the people of Free- port through you for their kindness and hope to be in a position to re¬ turn the fav6r at one time or anoth¬ er. While I was in the. Base Hospital at Camp Upton  I received an outfit
from Brooklyn and Long Island City to New York—only this one is a lit¬ tle bit worse. It is an interesting proposition to try to hold your breath and run through the subway, but if you fail before you get half way thru you need a gas mask.
A Question of Numlwrs
The Hempstead  Sentinel  says:
" War Veterans organize Ameri¬ can Legion Post. Hempstead Post should be the largest in Nassau County."
Perhaps it should be the largest in the County, but we beg to advise the Hempstead Sentinel that it was not started that way, With 15 charter meml>ers against some 65 or 70 in Freeport, nor de we expect it to get that way, althouj^h we do not antici¬ pate the proportion in Freeport will be so much larger as it was in the pe¬ titioners. _
