A pageant, m arking the Centen­nial observance of the founding o f the New York State Teachers’ As­sociation is to be presented as a special feature of this conference.

Local Man Invents An Oyster Opener

John L. Flock of the Shelter Island Oyster Company at Greenport has in ­vented an oyster opening machine which greatly simplifies the opening of oysters. I t is a very simple device and its operation is so simple that even a child can now open oysters.

You simply insert the oyster be­tween two prongs and pull down on a lever and it completely removes one shell from the oyster, leaving the oyster attached to the flat shell, from which it is removed by severing the muscle from the shell.

Mr. Plock has been experimenting with the machine at his plant a t Greenport for the past five weeks and has given demonstrations to wholesale and retail dealers a t his place in Fulton Fish M arket in New York. He has been assisted in these experiments by John Mullen and Theodore Rohloff.

He is confident that the machine is now ready to be m anufactured and sold to retail fish m arkets so that they may open their own oysters in their stores, thereby selling fresh opened oysters to the consumer. He also expects to sell the machine to housewives, especially around sea­shore resorts, so that they may open their own oysters and enjoy fresh opened oysters at home. Mr. Plock, who maizes his home in Southold, has confidence tha t the machine will be received with great enthusiasm by everyone.

de Ballet”. In the course of the dance it is easy to identify the old fash­ioned games the children are play­ing, “Drop the Handkerchief”. “Hop­scotch”, “London Bridge”, “Blind Man’s Bluff”, but they are in the form of the classic dance. The audience will be delighted w ith the grace of the dancers for whom this is the first real venture into the realms of ballet.

In contrast to 1845, six girls of Westhampton Beach High School, under the direction of Miss June Becker will present, “Playground— 1945”. Here, in the form of the classic dance, a pantomimic picture is presented of the more robust sports of today.

In the Finale, we find both groups of girls weaving their own individual pattern to form a liarmonious whole.

G. 0. P. Club Starts Membership Campaign At Annual Meeting

A drive for 1,500 new members and wider use by present members of the clubhouse and its 500 bayfront acres at Timber Point was advocated Sat­urday by Frank M arkvart, president of the Suffolk County Republican Club at the annual meeting of the club. With gasoline again available the club, which is entering upon its tenth year of occupancy of Timber Point, is again expected to assume its pre-w ar position as a gathering place, a recreation center and an a t­tractive spot for dining and dancing, for the people of the county.

W. Kingsland Macy, chairman of the Republican County Committee and chairman of the board of gov­ernors of the club which now has fewer than 1,500 members on its roster, pointed out that while short­ages and scarcities have curtailed ac­tivities in the past few years, the house and grounds had been used for Red Cross, for O K ' ; ' n g s for defense workers, for meetitff^ i#' the Power Boat squadrons and for servicemen’s dances.

“The coming tenth anniversary of the club should be m arked in some fitting manner,” he said, and sug­gested that plans be made for a charter members’ night and for some special celebration by the annual members as well. He also expressed the hope that it might be possible at some future date to build a club dining room that could accommodate parties of 800 or more persons.

Edgar F. Hazleton of Huntington, county attorney, and one of the governors of the club, in urging wider use of its facilities, paid tribute to Mr. Macy’s foresight in proposing the purchase of the Timber Point property and called it “a valuable asset.”

Besides Judge Hazleton’s compli­ment, considerable joking praise was heaped upon Mr. Macy who per­sonally puts in many hours riding the club’s tractor to keep down the high grasses and undergrowth on the lowlands of the club’s acreage.

Milton L. Burns, treasurer, made his annual financial report showing the club had nearly broken even for the time of its existence.

Governors re-elected for a term of five years were Fred H. Koster of Huntington, Frank J. Kroupa of Islip, Clarence W. Pulver of Bridgehamp­ton, Joseph S. Arata of Sayville, and Theodore S. Hall of Huntington.

Suffolk County Reports 74 Polio Cases During Past 10-Month Period

As of October 15, 1944, the total num ber of cases for ten and a half months of tha t year was 94, most of which had been reported since the la tter part of July. For the calendar year of 1944, there were approxim­ately 120 cases reported in the county.

All of the cases reported this year have been less severe than a ma­jority of the cases reported in 1944.

Since May 31, 1944, the Suffolk County Chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, Inc., has expended approximately $40,000 for the treatm ent and care of persons afficted by infantile paralysis.

Under the very efficient leadership of Mrs. Helen H. Daily, of Islip, chairman of the Women’s Division, the chapter raised a total of $32,- 978.30 in its campaign for funds conducted in the early part of this year.

Mrs. Daily has been reappointed chairman of the Women’s Division of Suffolk County by the chairman of the State Division.

At the last meeting of the chapter, Mrs. John C. Stark, of Riverhead, who was chairman of this year’s Riverhead campaign for funds, and Mrs. Charles H. Sullivan, of H unt­ington, were elected as additional vice-chairmen. Mrs. Sullivan has

Town Chairmen Named For Victory Loan Drive To Open October 29th

Suffolk County W ar Finance Chair­man, Raymond Dinsmore, today re ­leased the list of Township chairmen who have been appointed in eleven of the twelve county districts. Hon. Vincent O’Shea will head the Baby­lon organization; E. Hudson will be chairman in South Brookhaven; J. Edward Gay, Jr., in East Hampton; Ralph P. Crump in Huntington; Thayer Rounsefeld in East Islip; William Diggle, Jr., in West Islip; Roland Fitch in Riverhead; EverettC. Tuthill in Shelter Island; Austin Goodier in Smithtown, and Joseph A. Krupski, Southold.

These districts are now organizing and preparing for the Victory Loan drive which opens on October 29th.

Suffolk County is fortunate in having as its township chairmen volunteers of such high calibre. Al­though each man is active in either | a business or profession, all are ready I and willing to do everything they can to make the forthcoming Victory Loan drive a success. “These men realize,” said Chairman Dinsmore, “that the war still has to be paid for. They know that the expense of demobilization runs into millions of dollars a month, they realize that contract termination is a costly p r o - , cedure and they are aware that thei hospitalization and rehabilitation of our veterans is an obligation that increases daily. They know, too, that by the end of this year there will be nothing in the National Treasury w ith which to meet these tremendous post w ar bills unless this drive is an overwhelming success. That is why they are giving freely of their time and ability in a cooperative effort with the residents of the county to make Suffolk’s part in the Victory Loan drive a tru ly outstanding achievement.”

War Fund Drive Opens On The North Fork; Organization Complete

Chairman Blodgett Makes A Special Appeal To Everyone To Be More Generous Than Ever

The National War Fund Campaign has been fully organized in the North Fork villages and solicitations for funds has begun in most of the communities, it has been announced by Lewis A. Blodgett, Chairman for the Town of Southold.

A Clergymen’s Committee has been formed and announcements are be­ing made in all the churches urging everyone to support the National W ar Fund Campaign.

“The w ar may be over,” said Mr. Blodgett, “but it will not be over for us until all our boys come back. The National ^^%r Fund Drive is asking the support of every person to m ake a contribution for the USO and thei Allied W ar Agencies. Let’s finish the fight— l̂et’s back our boys until they all come back.”

The need for the USO Centers, USO-sponsored shows and recrea­tional facilities is now needed more than ever for our boys who m ust rem ain in Germany, in Japan and demobilization centers all over the world. Demobilization is a slow process and it is expected that over three million men w ill still be in uniform by July 1st of next year. Their period of waiting wifl be greatly eased and made more pleasant through a generous contribution to the National War Fund.
