' -—Dredging of Waterways Get OfimI Sanction — Legion Post Acqans Site For Memorial to Be Erected at Bddwin
»
Hempstead, June 1.—The Town Board, in flemion here yesterday, Super- vlmr Hiram R. Smith preAidinR, decided to purchase 40 votinc machines. This meahfl that every district in the entire town will vote by machine Instead of by the obsolete paper ballot method.
The totaf cost'of the 40 machines Is $27,100. The board decided to pay for them SSOOO yearly, except the last pay¬ ment, wblch will be 17600. The resolu¬ tion wan offered by Juatice Raisig and advocated by Supervisor Doughty.
Some districts have been voting by machine for some years. The improved method has been demonstrated to good advantage over the old way, board mem¬ bers contend. One difficulty has been that in districts where machines are used the count is quickly known, while election officials in other districts must work for long hours to get their results. It has been difflcult to get men to do this.
Charles G. Cronln of Rockville Centre appeared before the board In behalf of Captain Qeorge W. Wilson of Long Beach, who asks that certain dredging be done soon. The matter was referred to Alvln O. Smith of Preeport, superin¬ tendent of town waterways;
Because it is now impossible to get PeekskUl gravel for road work, Super¬ intendent of Highways Patterson was authorized to spend |23,2S1.35 for a suitable aubstitute.
The board granted permission to the American Legi3n of Bdldwin to >ereet a memorial on the plot at the intersec¬ tion of Orand and Foxhuret avenues and Merrick road at Baldwin. The Legion agrees to maintain the plot.
Because the town has a disused safe that could be used advantageously, per- missien was granted to the Rockaway Savings Bank to use the safe for a ahort period, during which Ume the new vaults of the bank will be built.
Supervisor Smith reported that he had entered into a contract with the In¬ land Dredging Company of Brooklyn. This company will do all of the dredg¬ ing of waterways in tbe town during the summer and fall seasons. Just now the company's men are dredging some of the town's waterways that have needed attention.

He urg^ that something be done. He de.sired that a complaint be filed with the Public Service Commis¬ sion.

When the new rates went into effect there woe considerable talk about whether' or not the town officials would be Justified in making a flght against the proposed new rates. Finally the matter went by default, and communi¬ ties and individuals paid the rate with¬ out comment.
Lately there has been much complaint in different places about the kind of service that has been given, despite the increased rates, and now is revived the Ulan to carry the matter before the PubUc Service Commission.

Rockville Centre, June 1.—"The greatest outstanding need for Ameilca today, is leadership," said the Rev. C. Wallace Pet^, of the Mount Morris Baptist Church, New York City, in an address before the Fortnightly Club, at its annual Guest Day sesaion In th- Ma¬ sonic Temple yesterday afternoon.
"Leadership comes from the loins of motherhood. No nation will have such leadership except there first be great mothers. America has her hands out stretched to you today," he added, ad¬ dressing about 400 women.
Depicting the lack of reai leaders in America today and contrasting the pres¬ ent day clergj', poots and musicians with those real leaders of days gone by, the Rev. Mr. Petty drew a word picture of the crying need for some one with strength and wLsdom enough to carry (he nation out of a slough of material¬ ism In which he said it haa ijcen wal¬ lowing the last two years. ,
He said America is facing the great¬ est crisis of its history and that the problems of the future call for mon of the highest type. He spoke of the won derful resources of the nation, classify Ing them as the greatest in any civil- ized land, but deplored the lack of roal 'eadersh^. JJ|,5^nonished his audiencf that the nation look to women to pro¬ duce a real leader who will safely Kuidt- it out of the slough of materialism. War Forgotten Too Soon The Rev. Mr. Potty deplored the fact that -he great morals \yhlch a few yvtir-* ago it waa prophesied would be brought out of the great war, had failed to ma terlalize. The war had been forgotten too soon. Reciting nn incident ot the war when American troops plunged Into battle at Chateau Thiery, he compared the spirit of 1776 with 1917 and pro nounced It equal in courage, plus some Story from the Mountains Miss Evelyn Wella, of the Pine Moun tTin Settlement School, recited incidents of the methods of living and the work being donb to educate the mass of peo¬ ple, Americans, who wore ages behind the times, though living in the United States of America, classed as the most onllglitened of nations.
Her story was interesting-and--enter¬ taining. It centered about the Highland Distriot of Kentucky where a large pro¬ portion of the two and a half million j)opulation, in a county as big as the German Empire, were Illiterate. 8hi explained how thousands of dollars wore being spent through the Pine Mountain Settlement School, to educate these poo pie.
Demonstrating with a mountain dui cimer, an instrument o( the eighteenth century, consisting of three strings and numbered by hand In load pencil, the music of the mountains, she entertained the Fortnightly Club members and their guests. Sho sang folk songs of the Southern Appalachians, and the Lone- .some Tunes. They Included "Sauorwood Mountain," "Edward," "The Nightin gale," "The JUddle Song" and "Tho Swapping Song."
Decorations Suggest Change In Prograin Miss Eleanor Patterson, concert con¬ tralto, was so Impressed by the large bank of wild flowers grouped about the stage, that she changed her program ot songs, by substituting "Fairy Pipers" by Brewer for "First Primore" by Griog. the flrst number. She sang a group of songs with a range sufflciently wide to meet the desire of the youngest child and oldest woman. Her voice was clear and her expression characteristic of th Tiuslc she was portraying. She stepped into a breach at the conclusion of the Hev. Mr. Petty's address and led the a^i- semblage In singing the "Star Spangled Banner," her voice rising in volume atKive the combined chorus of the audi¬ ence.
Miss Patterson waa accompanied on the piano by Joseph Wynne, who substi¬ tuted for MIsa Adele Rankin, who wau mable to attend. Miss Patterson sang two groups of
HOngB.
In addition, L. Allison MacKown, 'cel¬ list, accompanied by Percy Vanderoef, played several eelections.
Mrs. F. H. Handafleld whs chairman of ushers and Mrs. Leslie Wray an<i Herrman Pallme were responsible for the decorations. Refrestmients w«fe s«>rved during the intermission.
The Fortnightly C3ub entertained the guests in return for courtesies extended to its meml>ers during the past year. The event, an annual one, was greatly enjoyed. Parish Hall was artUtlcally decorated with flowers.
