weekly meetings of each of the other clubs and joined with each other
in good fellowship.
A spokesman for one of the clubs remarked that the family of nations
and quite similarly, the family of Lodges must have national unity and
mutual understanding and respect for one another's rights. He went on
to say that we should strive to like all people, for there is good in
everyone and recommended the cooperation of all in making Brotherhood
a living reality in every corner of the earth, for to live is not to live for
one's self alone.

" Home Rule'
The Board of Trustees of The
Incorporated Village of Farming-dale
unanimously adopted " Home
Rule" and the right to resulting
privileges at the Board meeting
held Monday night at Village Hall.
The Village Board acquires
broader powers by achieving
' Home Rule' status. It was ex­plained
that for the most pan,
the State of New York spells out
what a village can or can not do.
However, ' First Class' villages
can expand upon these powers
without infringing on the State
law".
A hearing took place on the pro­posed
drainage project by Nassau
County to construct a sump on Con-lin
Street at West Street and a
sump between Jerusalem east of
Oakdale Boulevard on Long Island
railroad owned property. There

by the Village Authorities for fail­ing
to enforce the Village Zoning
Code.' The letter asked for a
certified copy of all certificates

premises.
