In Johnson's Absence;
Mayor Doxsee Speaker
The 41st anniversary dinner of

Department Saturday night in the
Stevens House, Baldwin, was mark-ed
by the absence of Judge Hilbert
R. Johnson, its perennial toast-master,
who is recovering from ill-ness

avenue. The judge, who is a char-ter
member of the group, organized
December 4, 1911, as the Patriot
Hose Company, has attended every
previous anniversary celebration
and served as master of ceremonies.
His place was taken by Eugene S.
Wells.
He welcomed three charter mem-bers.
James H. Cruikshank, who has
served as treasurer since the com-pany
was organized; Sigfrid A. Ol-son
and Vincent A. Collyer.
Mayor Robert L. Doxsee said 41
years was a long time, especially
when one considered that the- work
of the firemen is a "labor of love,"
and more important, one for which
they are not looking to be paid. He
remarked t h a t President - elect
Dwight D. Eisenhower faced serious
conditions which could be licked if
%Bjl..tl»e* people* of -tlw'A&ui&d- States
went about the job of assisting him
with the spirit of the volunteer
firemen. "Get on the ball, get be-hind
Eisenhower and give everything
you have and we'll have the kind
of a country we used to have," he
concluded.
Others introduced were Village
Trustees Leonard D. B. Smith and
Cord Viebrock, Fire Chief John S.
Marra, his deputies Franklin A.
Orempel and William J. Noll, Er-nest
Drescher, Thomas Tierney, Mr.
Cruikshank', and John J. Ryan,
honorary chief and Nassau County
director of Civil Defense. Mr. Ryan
expressed his appreciation of the
response cf the Preeport Fire De-partment
in behalf of Givil Defense.
'Announcement was made that
two members of the company were
in service, Harold Johnson, having
just arrived in Korea, Edward Roe-rner
who is in training. Everyone
signed Christmas cards to be for-warded
to them.

Northwest Civics Ask

A fear that nepotism is creeping
into Freeport village polilics was j
expressed by Van Baar Brown, pres-ident
of the Northwest Civic Asso-ciation,
in a statement from the
chair at the meeting of the group
in the cafeteria of the Seaman ave-nue
school Monday night.
Mr. Brown said he referred to the
appointment of Thomas W. Cann,
war*i J. Bak , as executive direc-tor
of-the Freeport Housing Auth-ority.
He said, however, he had been
told there were only two applicants
for the post and that one was a
salesman while Mr. Cann had a
background of experience In the
building field.
Treasurer Oscar Wind reported
that the Northwest has 108 paid up
members compared to 98 a t the
same time last year. Several addig
tional members were signed up after
this report was made.
The Association passed a motion
approving inclusion of an escalator

also started machinery to find out
what the status of the elimination
plans are at present, how ^ much
money is available for th$ Job and

Village Board Denies
Proposal to Re-Zone
South'Bergen Place
Trustees Hold Change
Could Be Detrimental
To Existing Buildings
Pending the study of a new type
of business district, the Village
Board has denied the application for
the rezoning of all of South Bergen
place and the south side of West
Merrick road from the corner of
South Ocean avenue to the western
boundary of the Elks club property
from Apartment to Business "B".
lu doing so the board reported "it
was agreed that the best interests of
the Village would be served by or-derly
development of the section, in
conformity with the established type
of buildings presently in .that neigh-borhood,
such as the public library,
Uie Elks club and the Medical Cen-ter,
and that to grant the applica-tion
for a transformation or change
to Business "B" would open the ;
way for types of structures which
mights^deteriorate the character of
the neighborhood and impede its
further harmonious development.
It was felt that a, study should be
made with the idea in niind of pro--
viding for Preeport a type of busi-ness
district which would by way of .
setbacks, structural classifications, :
limitations of fiejlgjvts, and other^a^A:;
• tor?^wy<^:^J^cni&£'£^
.only such coniftierciar stjiioturesiiuj
would be .in harmony with t:h$ high-est
quality of business and -other
types of structures and thereby im-prove
tihe values of the lands and
and general welfare of the Village;
and that a public hearing be held at
an early date to consider whether
the establishment of such new type
of business zone might not be in the
best interests of the Village."
In reaching -this conclusion, mem-bers
of the Board voiced the opin-ion
that a super-market would be
detrimental to the neighborhood.
Cord Viebrock moved the adop-tion
of the resolution which was
seconded by Leonard D. B. Smith.
The application for the rezoning
was signed by Edward J. Moore, a
real estate operator; Cornelius Free-man.

WolfeOffers P.B.C. Members
Award For Crime Detection
Frank Wolfe, 187 South Babylon Turnpike, Mcrrick, has
1'fromp so interested in the work of the Freeport Police Boys'
Club, fiartiuularly in connection with the part played .by .several
members in the apprehension of priminal.s, that he has offered'to
give $5 as an award for eacli boy who furnishes the clues that
lead to an arrest and conviction.
His interest was aroused by a re-cent
case in which William Ma-honey's
alertness led to the arrest
of Austin Chervino as a dope ped-dler,
his conviction and sentence by
the late County Judge Harry J. A,
Collins to from seven and a half
to 15 years in prison. He wants to
give $5 to Mahoney and to another
boy who four years .ago broke a
similar case.
Mr. Wolfe's offer is contained in
a letter to Mayor Robert L. Doxsee
which was read at tfhe Village Board
meeting Monday night.
"May I commend for your con-sideration
public recognition Patrol-man
Joseph Romeika of your Bolice
•Department for his splendid work
as director of the (Police Boys' Olub.
"Recently the New York Herald-
Tribune carried a story of Patrol-man
tRomelka's apprehension and
conviction 'of one, Austin Chervino,
dope peddler, sentenced to a 71/2
year to 15 year prison term by Coun-ty
Judge Henry Collins. I am ad-vised
that this is the second con-viction
by Patrolman Romeika in a
narcotic charge and tnrough their
efforts the organization has become
a vital force In fighting juvenile
delinquency. - .
Should you decide to give honor-able
mention to Patrolman Romeika
and the two boys, I should like to
donate $5 to eacto of the two boys
who alerted the police and a like sum
to any -boy at the club for future
outstanding accomplishment as de-termined
by -ithe director of
club." . ' - r - . :
