Association Approves
Air Cargo Terminal
Many Advantages Seen
In Having Enterprise
Near Island Industries
The plan to establish an air cargo
terminal' and Industrial Center' at
MacArthur Airport has been ap-proved
by the Industrial Council
of The Long Island Association, ac-ording
to George F. Chapllne,
Jhalrman of the Council. The town
of Islip has recently leased 14 acres
on the field to Airport Industries,
Inc., which has- also purchased 139
acres of property adjacent to the
field as an Industrial site.
"An air cargo terminal close to
industrial plants In Nassau and
•Western Suffolk will fill the pres-ent
need for speed, economy and
special warehousing facilities," said
Mr. Chapline. "It will also be an
inducement for the expansion of
light manufacturing on Long Is-land
which The Long Island Asso-
'essary to pro vide a balanced econ-omy
and local employment oppor-tunities
for our fast-growing-popu-lation."
•Leslie Weiss, Vice President of
The L.I/A, for Suffolk also com-mented
favorably on the plan.
"MacArthur Field was built by the
OAA and donated to the town of
Islip in 1943 with the provision that
it be maintained as a public air-port
for at least 25 years from that
date,*' Mr. Weiss pointed out. "Its
use as an air cargo terminal is a
practical solution to the problem of
using it to the best advantage. The
plan for MacArthur Airport will
fulfill an economic need for East-ern
Long Island as well as the Met-ropolitan
area. It is centrally lo-cated
both for Nassau and Suffolk
industries. It can be developed along
the safety lines as recommended by
the Doolittle report, which estab-lished
airports could not do except
at great expense."
Mr. Weiss also expressed his
opinion that the use of the airport
for freight would mean a minimum
amount of traffic to and from the
field.
At the present time, the airport
is used principally for test flights.
968 CASUALTIES TREATED
BY SAFETY INSTRUCTORS
Outstanding community service
was performed this past year by
volunteer members of Nassau Red
Cross first aid and safety groups,
according to statistics released by
tJ. Maury DeGhuee. Assistant Direc-tor
of Nassau Red Cross Safety Ser-vices.

expansion program to be com-pleted
by 1954 which will' provide
for an eight grade elementary
school.
Several new faculty members will
also greet the children upon their
return. Among them will be Miss
(Felicitas Zambail, Who is returning
to 'the school after having spent a
year teaching in Switzerland, her
native land. Miss Zambail, who will
be in charge of the 3 year-old group
this year, found that the Waldorf-type
schools are comparatively well-known
in Switzerland, and that
•their principles are followed in
many of the public schools there.

Mr. Wood was awarded $4,700 for
12 lots by the condemnation com-missioners.
Mayor Doxsee in his

To Improve Safety
For Two Crossings
Program is Designed
To Clear Up Situation
At Brooklyn and Grove
Police Chief Peter Elar submitted
recommendations for improving
conditions at trwo hazardous cross-ings
at the meeting of the Village
Beard Monday night in the Muni-cipal
Building.
One was at Brooklyn avenue and
North Grove street, and the other
at the recently improved area at
Broadway, North Columbus and
Parsons avenues.
Regarding Brooklyn avenue, his1
report read: '.'
"Congestion at train time is caus-ed
by motorists who wish to make
left turns into Grove street and
stand there and block traffic.
"The remedy of tills situation
would be to:
Restrict parking or standing
on the northslde of Brooklyn ave-nue
for a distance of 50 feet east
of Grove street.
Restrict parking or standing1
stands have been climbing steadily
for the last year but showed the
usual Summer slump uxp-?r'enced by
all newspapers. Sales the first week
of September, however, were the
highest on record and found the cir-culation
of the paper through this
medium approximately 300 per cent
of sales a year ago.
The appeal of The Leader to resi-dents
in all parts of the Village is
indicated by the fact that stands in
outlying sections are requesting a
larger supply of the paper as well as
