Also reclaimed were blocks lrom New England quarries used to pave the streets of old New York. The foreign blocks are distinguishable from the domestic ones in that they are blacker and somewhat smaller.

Discarded after the removal of trolley car tracks and other street improvements throughout the city, the blocks have been collected since last Summer. To date, more than 4.500,000 have been sorted for size and reconditioned, with Civics to Inspect Progress Made on Flushing Park The annual tour of Queens parks, sponsored jointly by the Park Association of New York and the Queensborough Chamber of Commerce, will be made this Tuesday, with Flushing Meadows Park furnishing the highlight of the trip.

The party will be shown the progress accomplished by Uie park department since the close of the World's Fair at the Flushing park, where all temporary structures have been razed, a large swimming pool is being rushed to replace the Aquacade pool and trees and shrubbery given by Fair exhibitors have been transplanted to permanent locations.

Buses will leave the chamber offices, 24-16 Bridge Plaza South, at 10 a.m., with the tour including luncheon at Howard Johnson's Restaurant in Elmhurst. Reservations must be made in advance. Utilizing the cottage plan to prevent an institutional atmosphere, the Society of the Hillside Hospital will begin to function about July 15 In new buildings on a 52-acre site In Creedmoor. This will give Queens one of the most progressive psychiatric centers in the country. A pathfinder for the past years in the latest methods of psycho-neurotic treatment, the hospital will move from Its present quarters, at Hastlngs-on-Hudson.

In addition to the administration building, there will be four or five cottages for housing the patients, with plenty of space on the site, at 264th St. and Union Turnpike, lor future expansion. There will be six psychiatrists on the staff, one for about every 13 patients, although the number of domestic helpers will be kept to a minimum. As part of the patients' treatment, to aid them in feeling themselves a part of the workaday world, they are required to care for their own rooms and may assist with the cooking and gardening. A large part of the grounds is due to be used for raising vegetables.

The new hospital is designed to accommodate 150 patients and It is expected that about 250 will be treated annually. The society was formed 14 years ago to provide treatment for men tal patients who were not 111 enough to justify commitment to a State institution and lacked the means for entering private sanatoriums. "This type of patient has often been the most neglected," said Dr. Israel Strauss, president of the society. "Our hospital has pioneered in treating such cases." Only voluntary patients who pay as much as they can afford are accepted, but no one is dropped, however, if the family finds itself unable to continue payment.

The hospital is nonprofit making. The psychiatric center is non-sectarian and provides service without discrimination, although organized originally as the Jewish Mental Health Society. The majority of patients is Jewish, however. "Sympathetic surroundings among persons of similar origin and background have been found by psychiatrists to contribute immeasurable benefit in the curing of mental ills," Dr. Strauss commented.

Nationally known, Hillside Hospital has aided in developing new techniques and treatments. A mental hospital is now being established in Philadelphia on its pattern. The society was one of the first in the country to use Insulin and metrazol In treating depressive cases. The latest electrical devices for shock therapy are being installed in the new quarters. semblyman Bennett, Nassau County Welfare Commissioner Edwin W.

The settlement was completely destroyed the following year, however, during an Indian uprising.

Residents Invited to Join A second colony of Englishmen started a colony called Middleburg on the site of what is now Elmhurst. As this settlement prospered and the Dutch Influence waned, the English name of Hastings was used.
