ABOUT WAITERS. WAITRESSES AND BABTBNDER8 . . .
In this category of American Life youll find some of-the hsrd-esl
working, sincere*! and most underctanding people in our
couhlry . . . They rsle with the best sports and the best tlppon
and probably know more about good food, fauc; drinks and table
manners than most highly touted gourmets, pseudo-socialites
and sell-styled big-shots . . . Yet, even though th6y se*ve many
rolls in addition to their regular duties, bartenders, lax iiulance,
have to'b6 hosts, father-confessors. A No. 1 listeners, marriage
ceunaeldis. sports exports, political pundits and super-diplometts,
they have been among the most underpaid and underestimated
service-typo personnel in our modem way of living . . . Un­fortunately,
loo many underestimate these people . . . Aitd too
mtoy Z-Wt millionaires treat them like dirt. But believe mo, and
I kfftow th^ industry from pre-piohlbUion days, this is.all wrong
, . . Qiir waliegcs, bkJrtonders and waitresses rate wUb the,best.

Some Persona! Observations
This l«! the fiwt issue of a column that I shall write each week
for THE LEADER. My objectives are threefold- (1) To inform the
public about political activities, on the local level, (2) To discus.,
basic issues that face our Village, and (3) To expose the nature and
motives of these who seek to tear down, obstruct, and destroy local
government.

A ctiliunn m a newspaper is the
aL-eoptod Amciican way of con-vi-
ylng and receiving news and
vif!ws on our governing procesbcs.
Here in Freeport there are short­comings
in this area of communi-cjtiun.
Aside from tlie Hy Wallis
column in The South Shore Be-porler,
a Baldwin-babcd paper,
and occasional political coverage
in the columns edited by Mari«
MiUcr, Tom DeVinceniM), James
Miller, £d Vasil and others, FVee-porters
have had to rely prettv
much on the ''n^wa" presented
hy MiiS • Collins in h«>r weekly
elfusion known as the Village
Watch Following her defeat by
the Village Party in the election
of 1965 when she ran as a Trus­tee
candidate and Ilntiihcd seventh
out of eight candidates for pub­lic
office. Miss Collins became a
columnist and began venting her
irritation on the administratioii of
Mayor Sweeney and Trtislee J\l-
.tengarten, Fairberg and Somers.
