Commander Dinner
The East Rockaway American Legion Post No. 958 held its
annual Past Commander Dinner Saturday evening, Nov, 9. Com-mander
Daniel Ganley acted as host at this affair to honor Jr.
Past Commander Gerard McNiilty as well as the many Past Com-manders
of previous years.
Those in attendance incliuled
"old-timers" Henry A n d e r s o n,
George Williams, Joseph Mack, and
Arthur Dacey. Mr. Dacey was the
first commander of the Post back in
1923. The younger "old-timers" on
hand were G. McNulty, G. DuPrey,
K. DuPrey, E. Lowman, C. Ruth, J.
Nucei, and F. MeDermott.
The high spot of the evening
came when Commander Ganley
awarded George Williams the cer-tificate
of Meritorious Service to
Post # 9 5 8 . Mr. Williams has been
l i 'member in gftod standing since
1925 and served as coinmander in
1935. In receiving this award, Mr.
Williams was somewhat overcome
with emotion while the men stood
and rocked the rafters with their ap-plause.
Regaining his composure
Mr. Williams expressed his sincere
appreciation and treated the diners
to an impromjjtu recollection of the
history of Post #958. Mainly, the
fact that when he first moved to
East Rockaway about 1923, he was
quite dubious about joining the or-ganization,
since he hadn't decided
definitely to stay in town. He wasn't
sure at the time whether he liked it
here. To help him decide he re-ceived
another awnrd frona Com-mander
Ganley. A b"'^" time member-ship

Also on hand for the festivities
were State Senator Norman l.ent.
Assistant District Attorney William
Turner and Eugerie Torborg, Village
of East Rockaway.
Entertainment was provided by

p.m. in the school auditorium. Par-ents,

to phonics which has been used suc-cessfully

Psychologist To Speak

especially if alone, and if they (t]i<3
stranger) is alone and in a car. Be
extra cautious at night.
Second, if an incident happens,
don't panic, try to get an accurate
descrii)tion of the man, the make
iuid color of car.
Tliird, and most important, GET
THE LICENSE PLATE NUMBER.
Fourth, don't wait to contact
police. Run to the nearest house or
store and have an adult contact the
police. With the modern police
•^•tidifii networks the Mtilwrne Pf>lieO'
can have the entire coimty alerted
within a manner of minutes.
Chief Ryer also deplored the ac-tions
of parents in building up a dis-like
of policemen in their children.
"Children shorild be made to under-stand
that we are their best friend,"
he said "and not a boggy man." "I
don't know why parents insist on
telling their children when they
want them to beiiave, that if they
don't be good they will bring the
child to the iwlice." "With this fear
instilled in them," he said, "when
the time comes for them to look for
police help, they are more afraid of
the police than of a sex degenerate
and they keep the incident to them-selves."
"This advice," he went on fo
say, "is not only for the residents of
Malverne, but of all comnumities,"
"The public, and the pohcc, nnist
always cooperate," he stated, "not
only when dealing witli sex degen-erates,
but in all cases where the
law is \i()lated,"
