BEING SOUGHT County Legion Advised to Put On New Spurt to Go Over Quota In an effort to put New York State "way over the top" in membership, to accord it first place at the national convention in Cleveland, State Commander Scheiber- ling has called upon all counties to make an extra campaign to secure more than their quota.

County Adjutant H. H. Austin, of Geneva, advises that as the result of the new drive, Ontario county has been asked to get- 58 more to reach the new quota. The present membership total as reported by Mr. Austin indicates Holcomb lias sent in one more member and Clifton Springs has also reached the quota, the major portion of the campaign to be borne by Geneva and Canandaigua posts.

Since the last report was filed with the county adjutant, the local pest has obtained several more members, but a special effort- will have to be made to equal the new quota. Leon G. Warters, chairman of the post membership committee, said today that he and his workers will busy" at once as requested in hopes that the local post can uphold its record of membership enrollment. The last state report shows Ontario is in 57th place with 87 per cent of its quota, while there are 39 counties with more than 100 per cent of their quotas. As an inducement in the new membership campaign prizes are offered for county commanders whose counties show results.

The increase sought also would put the seventh district in a position to head the parade -at the state convention in Svracuse.

H. Hyer.s. of chairman of the vigilance committee of the Mew York State Farm Bureau Federation. According to Mr. Myers, fresh fruits and vegetables and chickens seem to be the most popular articles attractive to thieves, but nothing is exempt when the professional theief comes along.

Mr. Myers says, that a lot of the octt-y stealing is not done by professional thieves, but by careless motorists who seem to fenl that everything outside the city limits is public property. Mr. Myers urges farm bureau members to post -their farms and property with the farm bureau vigilance signs which' offer rewards of $10 for petty larceny and $25 for grand larceny, 'to those who furnish information leading to the arrest and conviction of persons found guilty of stealing from posted property. He says, that farmers can obtain these rewards signs, at cost, from their county farm bureau.

The signs solicit the help of neighbors in protecting posted property for everyone is anxious to collect the rewards offered. Mr. Myers says, that the stealing of ruits "and vegetables is likely to increase this season because of short croos and higher price. He advises farmers to act promptly in posting their farms.

Mrs. Edson T. Case. In an article published in The Yorker in 1931, Miss Shaw's activities on Barren Island were vividly described under the title, "Lady," which "simple but regal" title was given her by the islanders, who "treat her with the greatest deference, tend her garden and look after the rosebushes around her house. "She has fought for the rights of the people and had the settlement re-christened "South Flatlands" so that the children who entered high school in Brooklyn would have a street address like other children.

same story said that "in 1919 the Board of Education (Brooklyn) took Miss Shaw from the East Side where she had been teaching for 15 years and, with apologies, promoted her to the principalship' of Public School 120, which was the seat of learning on Barren Island, a dismal strip of land rising sadly irom the waters of Jamaica Bay. Things have been looking up lately, a new airport located there and a causeway to the mainland, but in those days it was to a school teacher what Siberia was to a Russian. At the end of the year the Board thanked Miss Shaw for her services and offered to transfer her back to the East Side. To their astonishment she told them she'd like to stay. She has been there ever since, rarely leaving even during vacation time." In a recent editorial published by the Brooklyn Times-Union, the "End of Barren Island" was described as follows, chiefly laudatory to Miss Shaw: "Barren Island for more than half a century constituted Brooklyn's 'ermiform appendix, an undesirable segment of the old city and borough, malodorous and condemned to isolation.

Its population was about 100 iamilies, the adult males of which weer employed in a garbage incinerator and "dead-horse factor." Notwithstanding the drawbacks undar which they suffered, most of the inhabitants of the island were honest and industrious folk, and many families owned their own homes. "The first ray to illumine the uncongenial atmosphere came a few years since when the Board of Education established a public school on the island. This was an innovation i.ot so ardently desired by the islanders, whose primitive tastes were satisfied with conditions as they were. The organization of the school, however, meant also the installation of Miss Jane Shaw as teacher in 1918. Leaders who tell us that the most profound religious convictions are those based on renunciation of self would certainly acclaim Miss Shaw among the saints.

The Barren Island school post was so unsought and so unpopular that 91 women on the eligible I'st declined to accept it, before she took hold. "Miss Shaw soon became not only the teacher who piloted the children through their school exercises, but the guide, philosopher and friend of every man, woman and child on the island. She was doctor, moralist and adviser in every difficulty. Family quarrels were submitted to her kindly arbitration. Most of the islanders were poor, foreign folk unlettered and groping continually for a solution of the life problems that confronted them in a strange land.

None came to Miss Shaw with a trouble or a grievance and went r.way unanswered or dissatisfied. Al! that Barren Island learned to know of the amenities of life and the approximation to modern civilization reached there, it learned at the hands of this self-denying woman, now 69, who has given 18 years of a well-spent life to a way of living that would have delighted the soul of St. Francis of Assisi. The last of the settlers on bleak Barren Island moved away yesterday, leaving the place in bleakness and utter desolation, until Mr. Moses' Park Department takes the area over and incorporates it into Marine Park.

And Miss Shaw will take a leave from the school system r.nd probably retire as a teacher in the fall, when the vacation ends. "The blessing of the hundreds of children whose minds she strengthened and unfolded, and the gratitude of their elders among whom she had lived a modern matriarch, will follow her to the end."
