RAMBLERS HEAR DISCUSSION OF CURRENT EVENTS

Mrs. Edward H. Foster Hostess Monday for

Group’s Meeting

The Ramblers met on Tuesday eve­ning at the home o f Mrs. Edward H. Foster on Huntting Lane, Mrs. William M. Gay and Mrs. Dermott Dillon assist­ing in entertaining. The program committee for the evening included Mrs. Gay and Mrs. Arnold Rattray; the topic was current events.

Instead of talking about the events themselves, it was taken for granted that everyone is more or less familiar with what is going on in the world. The means by which we keep ourselves abreast of the times—how the news is gathered for us, and interpreted, was considered.

First, a printed card was given out, and each member was asked to check the name o f the daily paper or papers read: also the Sunday and weekly pa­pers. Then Mrs. William Gay spoke on the news commentators heard over the radio; mentioning several o f the bet­ter known ones. She read extracts from a talk given by W. J. Cameron on the Ford program on Sunday evening; he spoke particularly on the subject of current events as treated by women's literary societies. Then Mrs. Gay read an article about Lowell Thomas from the Reader’s Digest. !

Mrs. Riborg G. Mann was a guest speaker, on movie newsreels. Mr. Mann is with the Pa the News in this country, and was formerly with Fox movietone, abroad. Mrs. Mann told many interesting things about the pro­cedure in making up a news film; show­ing negatives marked for sound; she told of the scope of the Pathe Com­pany, which has sound and camera crews all over the country (five in New York, two in Chicago, and so on ); the finished film is shown in 1,000 R. K. O. theatres in America; and she explained that nowadays American camera crews are not sent abroad, but films are ex­changed with French and English Pathe. In 1928, when she spent some time in England with her husband, the exchange system had not begun. She told some amtising JJcperiences that Mr. Mann had while taking pictures on the Continent and in North Africa. Mr. Mann no longer takes pictures, but is now a technician in charge of sound.

Mrs. Arnold Rattray spoke on the newspapers, showing some very old New York, Brooklyn, and eastern Long Is­land ones; analyzing their contents and comparing them with a table full of today’s papers published in the same territory. One possibly little-known fact was that David Frothingham. first Long Island printer and newspaper publisher who settled in Sag Harbor, might have settled here in 1791. Dr. Samuel Buell invited him here, offering the use of a room in Clinton Aca­demy; but Sag Harbor offered him fire­wood as well, and won the day. Then Mrs. Rattray analyzed the contents of today's papers, telling which papers she liked best, and what features of these papers, and why.

Mrs. E. H. Foster led in the singing of a newsboy's roundelay, to the tune o f "Scotland’s Burning.”

Miss Grace Miller spoke o f the news magazines; showing examples and tell­ing why she liked certain ones. Mrs. Morton Pennypacker gave a list of books "in the news” relating to cur­rent events and helping us to inter­pret them. She told something of the contents of'each book; then a printed list o f the books was given out.

A fter each number on the program, there was lively discussion.

At the close, each member was asked to find her place at table by joining a caption and a picture which had been cut from Sunday’s newspaper rotogravure sections.

The next meeting will be held on Tuesday evening, February 22. at the home of Mrs. E J. Edwards on David Lane. Mrs. Arnold Rattray assisting In entertaining. Mrs. E. C. Mulford. Mrs.E. M. Baker, and Miss Maude Miller are the program committee. Each member Is asked to answer roll call with a patriotic quotation.

Angus Fletcher GivesTa lk in Guild Hall

The second in Guild Hall’s series of Sunday afternoon "at homes.” held last Sunday from 4 to 6 o’clock, was a great success. More than 150 attended.

Angus Fletcher of New York and Fireplace was the speaker of the after­noon; giving an extremely interesting resume of current events, particularly speaking of Anglo-American relations. Mr. Fletcher is head of the British Library of Information in New York; has lived for many years in this coun­try, spent his boyhood in Africa, and

of an old Scottish family; his view­point and experience are both wide. East Hampton is very fortunate to have had the opportunity of hearing him speak on several occasions.

Mrs. William Taylor arranged a pro­gram of music, which included three numbers played by the Senior High School orchestra o f thirty pieces, in ­cluding "Early Dawn.” by Master; •Japanese Intermezzo,” by Wharton; and "Russian Overture.” by Glazoroff. Mrs. Winthrop Gardiner sang three solos, accompanied by Mrs. Taylor at the piano; her songs were "Song of Sam Bull," by Augusta Holmes: “ I Love You.” by Beethoven; and "O. That We Two Were Maying." by Ethelbert Nevin. For the song Mrs. Gardiner was accompanied by a ’cello obligato by

LOWERED TARIFF ON FISH HIT BY

L. I. FISHERMENProtests to Washington Score Plan for New Trade

Agreem ent

Long Island fishermen are up in arms over the proposed lowering of tariff on fish and fishery products and have sent a strong protest to the Com­mittee for Reciprocity Information, Washington, D. C., for their considera­tion at the hearing to be held in Wash­ington on March 14. The proposed reciprocity trade agreement now under consideration is for Great Britain and her colonies, including Canada and Newfoundland. A ll briefs must be filed by February 19, and the Long Island Fishermen’s Protective Association, of which Alfred Tucker of West Sayville,

is manager, are urging that all civic, political and labor organizations join with them in their protest.

The Administration is striving man­fully to maintain present wage condi­tions and, i f possible, uplift living con­ditions. This is an uphill fight and the present recession has not helped but rather retarded this objective.

Likewise it is our contention that the only barrier to cheaper than American produced merchandise is an adequate tariff. Break down this wall and we must automatically be placed on a par in living and wage conditions with na­tions encroaching on our markets due to lowered tariff rates.

Skeptics H it AccuracyO f Our Fish Reports

The accuracy of the item in the "Montauk” column of The Star January 27. which told of a variety of fish being taken In one lift o f the beam trawlers offshore at that date has been questioned by some of the old timers in the fishing game at Montauk. Com­ments have ranged all the way from "tain't so" to “dam-lie.” A check and double check seems to show, however that the original statement was sub­stantially correct. There have been i wide variety of fish in the drags, but the bulk of the fish have run to dabs and yellow tails. The presence of a scattering one or two or more of but ters. cod. porgies, and maybe a water bucket of sea escallops, or a lobster two to a lift, with some of the other kinds o f fish mentioned, gave rise to the story. That all these kinds o f fish were being caught in quantities large enough to be boxed and shipped to market as such, was never intended to be the meaning of the article. One error in the article, however, crept in evidently in the proof-reading or set­ting up of the column. The "bed of clams offshore” was meant to read "a bed of clam shells." In other words, it has been reported that the draggers bring aboard an appreciable quantity o f large clam shells, when fishing at a certain point, which indicate that there was at one time a huge bed of sea clams there. Since January 27, one boat "the Anna S." has brought

a. load o f butterfish said to run up to 1.200 pounds. Unconfirmed is the report that there was a second load

n larger. Another unconfirmed re­port passed on for what it is worth is that one dragger took five mackerel a few weeks ago. an unseasonal catch, if true.

We have a striking example of what inadequate tariffs do at the present time in the fish business. A nominal tariff rate exists on fish netting. Still. Japan is able to purchase cotton down south, transport it across the country, ship it over the Pacific, manufacture it into fish nets, ship it back and yet place it in competition with American made nets in the very cities that our nets are made.

Likewise, before the Japan-China conflict, shrimp produced in the Gulf o f Mexico was shipped to Japan, can­ned. and eventually sold in active com­petition to American shrimp canned right at the point of production.

In both instances, as in many others. American dollars are being poured in­to Japan while our own industries are being subsequently penalized. Cot­ton should be bought in the south and manufactured by American labor into fish nets. Shrimp should be purchased by American canneries and American labor used to can them with American made machinery into American made cans. Let'

Extra Gas BroughtLost Plane to Safety

Edward Pospisil Jr. made a short visit to his home at Montauk over Sunday and Monday of this week. For the past few months he has been em ployed by the Eastern A ir Lines at Newark and is making the best of his opportunities o f studying aviation. The plane which made the thrilling flight from Newark to Washington, that ended at Hartford, after an exciting night in the air buffeted by a storm, belonged to the airline for which Eddie Pospisil works. He adds an Interesting sidelight to the incident by relating that the fuel handler whose duty it was to fill the fuel tanks on the huge plane that night was given a slip call­ing for delivery of 475 gallons of gas to the plane. Seeing that it was a very windy night and the ship was to be In for some rough travel, he put in twenty-five extra gallons of fuel on his own initiative, which proved to be the slight margin of safety that finally brought the ship in safely to Hartford. Hus act of foresight was rewarded by

The Ladies’ Village Improvement Society met on Monday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Frederick Yardley. Mrs. Nelson C. Osborne presided, in the absence of the president and vice- president.

Two new members were welcomed in­to the society: Mrs. George B. Hand and Mrs. Donald Gould. Mrs. John

Hand reported a donation of $5 from Alfred P. Hinton, for a new mar­ker for a memorial tree which had blown o ff in a storm. Mrs. N. C. Os­borne reported for the Town Pond Committee that it would be advisable to have an unobtrusive sign placed at the pond warning against taking gold­fish. The fish are very useful in keep­ing down mosquito larvae, and are o f­ten taken by small boys; and never live after taking out. This matter was taken up with the Village Board some time ago. and will be broached again.

Mrs. William Taylor reported that she had had little success in organiz­ing a Household Booth for next sum­mer’s Village Fair. I t was fe lt that there is a real need for such a booth, and Mrs. Andrew Carson and Mrs. Betty Mulford are to be asked to be co-chairmen, and organize it so that sewing can begin soon.

TOWN PARK FOR AMAGANSETT IS

PLANNED BY BD.At the regular monthly meeting of

the Town Board on February 1. the Town Board voted to accept a parcel of land at the corner of Abrahm’s Path and the Montauk Highway in Ama­gansett for use as a public town park. The property is that known as “ the Pines." I t was sold during 1927 but has since been taken over by the County for taxes. The Board of Sup­ervisors voted to transfer same to East Hampton Town for the nominal sum of $1 to use for the purpose of a pub­lic park. The Town Board intends to improve the property at some later date for the use of the children in the immediate neighborhood of the pro­posed park.

An application for street lights at Cape Gardiner and for lights in Caro­line Gerard Park w is denied by the Board.

The Board also voted to go on rec­ord as disapproving the passage of As­sembly Bill No. 505, which would amend the Public Health laws in such a man ner as to take away local control of waters and harbors. The resolution

; adopted at the request o f the Smithtown Town Board which has had considerable litigation with the State o f New York over the pollution of its local waters by state institutions in that area.

John Talmage of Sag Harbor was ap­pointed as Town Constable for that area.

The Board also discussed the matter o f the stealing of wood in the Town ship with Special Officer Alfred J Brown, who had apprehended people taking wood illegally at several places.

New Business Group to Hold Community Sale Feb­ruary 26 to March 5

Speaking at a luncheon meeting yes­terday of the newly organized Civic Club o f East Hampton. Supervisor Perry B. Duryea outlined the progress made to date by Suffolk County's Bridge and Causeway Committee in its fight for the Shelter Island bridges, and expressed the opinion that he was more optimistic than ever that the bridges would be built. The Civic Club meet­ing was held at the Village Tavern and was attended by twenty local business men.

The bill for the Shelter Island bridges has been introduced in A l­bany by Assemblyman Edmund R. Lup- ton and Supervisor Duryea expressed confidence that the bill would pass the lower house, and has a good chance of passing the Senate. Under the pro­vision of the bill a bridge authority would be created and private funds made available for the construction of the bridges by sale of bonds. Super­visor Duryea stated that the bill had been approved by two of the best con­stitutional lawyers in the country and already two bond houses had signified their intention of taking large blocks o f bonds.

A previous attempt by the county to secure the bridges found large ex­penditures made in an effort to secure a federal grant. Each time, the super­visor sftfd, the county was advised that there were hundreds of other projects which would have to come first. How­ever, he added, the government was undoubtedly right in putting hospitals and other institutions ahead of bridges.

An interesting angle on the bridge was announced by Supervisor Duryea at yesterday's meeting, when he ex­plained that the Long Island State Park Commission had endorsed the bridge plans provided certain changes in specifications were made to conform with the Park Commission's Ideas. A 300 fcot observation tower and a mar­ine museum have been suggested by the commission as an attraction to mo­tor tourists. The plans provide for two 8-foot strips for cars, two curb- ings and two 2-foot catwalks. T o give additional space the catwalks can be eliminated, giving practically room for three lanes of traffic.

Supervisor Duryea pointed out that what is being spent in the work of the County Bridge and Causeway Com­mittee would not obligate the county in any way if the bill is passed for there is a provision in the bill that all money spent in this regard would be returned to the county through the sale of bonds.

The bridges would take 18 months to complete and the supervisor stated that with all the momentum of the World's Fair behind the project he felt that now or never is the time for eas­tern Long Island to secure the bridges.

Frederick Yardley presided at the first meeting of the business men’s luncheon club. The other officers are Darrall S. Parsons, secretary, and Wm. J. Le Vesconte, treasurer. Plans are being made now for a community sale in which the home merchants of East Hampton will participate. Details will be announced in The Star later. The sale will be held from Saturday, Febru­ary 26, to Saturday, March 5, In the former offices of the Osborne Trust Company on Main Street. The com­mittee arranging the details of the sale includes Casper C. Rowe, James Marley, and Edward Tillnghast.
