SENIOR CLASS PLAY “HOLIDAY” WELL RECEIVED

2 Villages in Long Island Restrict Public Activities

Enthusiastic Public Greeted Young Players Monday

and Tuesday Eve.T he Senior Class o f the East Hamp­

ton High School presented its annual play, M onday and Tuesday evenings, at the John Drew Memorial Theatre. Guild Hall, before enthusiastic aud­iences. The young people took their parts well. The only criticism that might be made is in the choice o f a vehicle for the budding talents o f boys and girls in their ’teens. Possibly a sophistocated Broadway success is not the ideal play for production by such very young actors; its subject might well be beyond their experience and understanding.

The program opened with selections by the High School orchestra directed by J. H. Query: During the evening they gave:

Overture, "The Poet and the Peas­ant,” Franz Von Suppe; Valse, “ Springtime,” Gustave Saenger; Se­lections from the Opera, "11 Travatore,” Guiseppe Verdi; "Soldiers' M arch,” Robert Schum ann; "Chanson Triste," Peter Tschaiskowsky; "Over the W aves,” Johann Rosas.

Members o f the orchestra are: Alison Anderson. Edward Smith,

Perry Ryan, Irving Panzer, Kenneth Conrad, Sidney Field, Clarissa G rim - shaw, Ruth Lester, R ichard Corwin, Charlotte Davis, Robert Cozzens, Jo­seph Kdupinski, Emmet Collins, Edwin Rowe, Nathan Collum, W illard Nor­ton, M orley Schaefer, Margaret Hedges, Madeleine Mahoney, Alice Pugsley, Felix Dominy, Thom as Maz- zanoble, Frances Lusty. Robert Parker, Sophie Wallace, M artha Greene, M ar­garet Smith, Janet Nida, EvelynCleaves, Marion Hand, Joseph Flan­nery, Daniel Lester, John Bistrian,Joseph Stone, R obert Reutershan, Nina Gay, James Reutershan, Mary Louise Schenck, W illiam Jones, James Amaden, Sidney Dayton, Edwin King, Rem ington King, Adam Thompson, John Smith, David Baker, BettyHedges, Edward Boughton, Richard Bennett, Sidney Miller, Hazel Ernest, Elizabeth Field, Richard Bond.

The play, “ Holiday,” by PhilipBarry, was ably directed by H. N. Burnett o f the High School faculty. Mr. Burnett was indefatigable in his efforts to make the 1932 production a great success; tirelessly training the young people, and even burning the m idnight oil to paint .scenery.

Muttontown and Lattington, two of Long Island's newest incorporated vil­lages, both o f which are made up al­most entirely o f estates, made public Monday their local ordinances, obvios- ly drafted to keep the communities just as they are.

Public parking o f automobiles is banned in both villages and Latting- town forbids public use o f East Beach. Muttontown virtually prevents ped­dling by setting up a license fee of $25, while $500 required for a license will effectively prevent the opening of theatres, restaurants, dance halls and other public places.

Brookville and Roslyn, two other newly incorporated villages, are ex­pected to provide similar strict provis­ions in their local codes.

The date for the two one-act Christ­mas plays to be presented by the Guild Hall Players in Guild Hall, has been set for Monday evening, December 21.

An enthusiastic meeting o f the Players was held last Saturday eve­ning at the Library and several new members were enrolled in this recent­ly form ed organization.

The cast for the plays, “ Don Juan's Christmas Eve,” has been announced as follow s:

"D on Juan's Christmas Eve” —Inn Keeper, Edward T.

The Board o f Education of South-* ampton in a public announcement, calls the attention o f the taxpayers to a special meeting o f the Union Free District No. 6; to be held in the audi­torium of the Southampton High School on December 18. for the pur­pose o f voting on the question of erecting a new grade school building and raise by tax the sum o f $410,000.

T he members o f the Board o f Edu­cation propose to erect the new build­ing on the school property adjoining the High School on the west and fac­ing on Pine street. I t is the desire of the board to secure additional land to the south for the new building and the question o f appropriating from school funds now held by the treasurer, a | sum not to exceed $9,000, will be sub­mitted to the taxpayers.

In view o f the fact that the old three-story frame building on W ind­mill lane, which is being used as a grammar school, has been obsolete for

number o f years, it has been the contention o f the members o f the board that a modern u p-to-date edi­fice should be erected to care for the needs o f Southam pton Village and ad­jacent communities which have merged with this district.

W illiam I. La Fon jr., architect, has been engaged to furnish plans and specifications for the new building.

W esthampton B each’s education o f ­ficials are also discussing the erection o f a new school building to cost about $275,000.

T his became known when Hermon F. Bishop, president of the W esthamp­ton Board o f Education, informed members o f the Parent-Teachers’ As­sociation this week that seven sites were under consideration for the building o f a new schoolhouse in or­der to provide more room for the in ­creased registration and m odem facil­ities for the children.

President Bishop proposes to in ­crease the present site 11.6 acres by purchasing lands in order to extend the lot through to Liberty Road. I f this plan is adopted, he said, it would be well to raze the two wooden wings o f the present building and erect in their place a larger auditorium and gymnasium and provide a cafeteria, domestic science class-room and kit­chen. He estimated that this would cost $275,000, which could be m et by the issuance o f 25-year bonds.

BENEFIT SHOW NETS FUND $142

Matinee Held at Edwards Theatre Monday; Ed­wards Donates Theatre

The benefit performance given at Edwards Theatre on Monday after­noon under the auspices o f the Ladies’ Auxiliary o f the American Legion for their unemployment relief fund was well supported with the sum of $142.30 going to the fund. .There were no ex­penses incurred as Manager Edwards donated the theatre, picture and all expenses in connection with the show while members o f the Ladies’ Auxiliary gave their time as ticket sellers.

Mrs. Benjam in Hasselberger, chair­man o f the committee which sold tick­ets in the theatre lobby, had members o f the auxiliary on duty from Thurs­day until Monday. The members of this committee included Mrs. Lawrence Moore. Mrs. Cortlandt Foster, Mrs. George Payne, Mrs. Eleanor Payne, Mrs. M. P. Sullivan, Mrs. John Bartel, Mrs. John Hasselberger, and Mrs. Dominick Calabrese.

The performance was one o f many thousands given throughout the coun­try as part of the National Motion Picture Week for local unemployment relief.

Capt. Welsh’ s Body IsFound in the Sound

The body o f Capt. Thom as Welsh, 55, o f the R. K . Roe, who has been missing since November 3, was found Monday floating in the Sound o ff the Main street dock, Greenport. It was discovered by Capt. L. A. Pound jr.. o f the steamer Elizabeth A., which plies between Greenport and New Lon­don. He reported to the local police and they recovered the body.

Capt. Welsh, who lived on South street, disappeared on Election night after talking to some friends, and the fear that he had attempted to board his boat and tumbled into the water was confirmed by the recovery of the body, which was removed to Horton’s funeral parlors. Coroner James M. Heath will conduct an inquest in the Eastern Long Island Hospital.

Soundings have been made, he said, that show the dredging work to have been a very good job. In many places the dredging com pany has dredged more than the required 100 feet and also provided more than a ten -foot depth.

On motion by Justice M erton Ed­wards the firm o f W allace H. Halsey, Inc., was appointed engineers to watch the jetty work in the interest o f the town.

At the same meeting Justice Taylor Vaughn nominated W illiam Hudson for the position o f dog enumerator. There were no other nominations and Hudson received the appointment.

POSTAL PROJECTS LEARNED DEC. 7

Some Not Included in List to Be Urged for Con­

struction in 1932

At least 22 Federal building pro­jects on Long Island, agreed upon by both the Treasury and Postoffice de­partments for inclusion in the G ov­ernment's program for future con ­struction. will be held up pending ac­tion by the Congress which convenes December 7, it was learned here to­day.

All o f these 22 buildings have been approved by Congress, but whether they are put under way in 1932 or forced to wait until 1933 or 1934, de­pends on the pressure which is brought to bear Jn favor o f immediate appro­priations.

Treasury and postal authorities, working with and for the Bureau of the Budget, have prepared a tenta­tive list o f the projects for which It is planned to ask specific appropria­tions at the next session o f Congress.The list is being held strictly con fi­dential. It was' learned at the Treas­ury. however, that all o f the 22 Long Island projects to which money has been allocated are not Included in the list o f appropriations to be asked.

The 22 projects allocated for Long [new proji Island and which are certain to b e , over fror

Fischer. Charles Mansir, and F. H. Scribner.

Tickets will be. given on all cash re­ceipts, for purchases or money paid on account but not for charge sales. Tickets will be given for each 50-cent purchase.

Merchants or managers and mem­bers o f their immediate families will not be permitted to receive an award in the drawing.

Shoppers in East Hampton and neighboring villages have been keen to take advantage of the Christmas merchandise ,?ffr,r?d In East Hampton stort's - and id* appreciation of thc* Christmas G ift drawing have been keen to place their Christmas trade with the local merchants!

A complete list of participating merchants will be published In The Star next week.

TAX PAYMENTS ON DECEMBER 10

Mrs. Schaible Getting Office in Readiness; Official

Notice in This IssueMrs. Nellie O. Schaible. newly elected

receiver o f taxes o f East Hampton town, who succeeds Mrs. Maude R. Horton, gives official notice In this is­sue o f The Star that she will begin receiving tax money Thursday, De­cember 10, at the postofflce building. The period of paying taxes is fr o n December 10, to January 10. 1932, 1 .- elusive. The hours are from 9 a. m.to 12 m., and from 1 to 4 p. m., d illyexcept Saturdays and holidays; fiat- urdays from 9 a. m. to 12 m.

A penalty o f five per ceqt Is at’dedfor collection o f taxes after January 10 .

The Job of being tax receiver fo* the towns o f Suffolk County Is a heav­ily involved one this year. It seems that business being what It is banks and bonding companies are not mak­ing any great play for the tax re­ceiver’s money. The banks o f the towns, some of them at least, will not pay any interest this year on the money deposited, and this runs into the millions in the county. In the past these banks have paid two per cent on the tax monies.

Marvin Conklin, bonding agent, is furnishing the bond for Mrs. Schaible, which is equal to the amount of the tax warrant.
