Prepared by reports that Communists intended to interfere with the carrying out of the order, a squad of police was on hand when Town Constable Ilor Albright went to the house. A crowd of 100 persons, whites and Negroes, gathered to watch the furniture removed, but police declared them to be merely curious residents of the vicinity who made no effort to stage a protest.

Johnson, however, is said to have disobeyed Patrolman George Smith's order to "move on," and was promptly bundled in a patrol wagon and charged with disorderly conduct. Police said he circulated among the crowd in an effort to start a disturbance. The Mincey family's furniture was guarded by police until Mincey removed it. Charles F. Golntck of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children offered to take Mincey two children to the shelter at Mineola.

Mayor Robert E.

Patterson announced last night at the village board meeting. "On Sunday, 40 summonses were given out for passing red lights and I personally saw seven violations within 15 minutes," he declared.

A half dozen or more members ot the department are practicing daily now on motorcycle? but just who will ride them lias not been determined yet. Freeport gave up this form of patrol work several years ago following a long list of casualties and only recently decided to resume it because of the fact that the patrol cars are unable to catch red light passers.

Charles (Chip) Baldwin, Horn in Toll House on Merrick Road, Tells Its History There is nothing new under the sun.

and that applies to paying toll charges on a Long Island highway, for in the days when the few remaining members of the G. A. R. were fighting in the battles of the Civil War the Merrick Road was a toll affair. It was known as the Mernck-Jamaica Plank Road and was owned by a private corporation which placed loll gates and toll houses at various intervals and charged the horses and wagons so much a mile to travel over it.

One of the toll houses was located in Freeport. and Charles iChipi Baldwin, one of the two honorary deputy chiefs of the Freeport Fire Department and now a municipal park gardener, was borne there 77 years ago. His father, Thomas Baldwin, was the toll keeper, and died in the old gate house that stood where Long Beach Ave. Merrick road are now. Before Tallvho Traffic was light in those days, for it was even before the advent of Sunday drivers atop a tally-ho, and long before the advent of the bicycle clubs that used to pedal down from Brooklyn and Manhattan on a pleasant Sunday.

A few farmers' wagons, now and then a country doctor and occasionally a traveling salesman comprised the traffic. It was in October. 1858. that baby Charles first heard the clink of coins in the till and a passing farmer waxed original and declared that he w-as "a chip off the old block," and the nickname stuck. "The Merrick Road through Free-port was a different picture then," Chief Baldwin said.

"You could count the houses from Main St. up to Coes Neck Road, now Bayvicw Ave. We were a part of Queens County then, and when Nassau County was organized the corporation turned the road over to the county and the toll gates disappeared. Our family moved out of the gate house in 1864." Mother Made I'nion Pants Asked if the war was felt in this part of the country, Chief Baldwin replied: "Well, they came through here offering $1 each for soldiers' pants. My mother.

Angeline Brown Baldwin, had the first Singer sewing machine in Freeport and could make six pairs of pants a day. That was good money in those days and. as the pants were for Union soldiers, mother was sure that they would never get bullet holes in them." The old Benedict County Farm was up in that section then and the inmates were buried on the property. It was only last year that men digging a sewer excavation found several skulls. According to Chief Baldwin, the Merrick Road near the gate house was colony of Tred-wells.

for Timothy, Jack. Abraham and Benjamin Tredwell all had homes side by side. Other old-timers there were George P. Bergen and Francis Benedict. Was Early Fireman The Freeport Fire Department ac tually came into being 1874 when the Excelsior Hook and Ladder company was organized.

It was in that the Wide Awake Engine Company came along and Chief Baldwin was one of the prime movers. He was the first captain of the company and is an active fireman toda. A few years ago his long service was rewarded when the firemen tendered him a dinner and presented him with a complete uniform and a shiny gold badge inscribed, "Honorarv Deputv p'ire Chief." For many years Chief Baldwin stoked tiie fires on Old Jumbo, the steam fire outline that even today is as good a pumper as can be found, he claims In the sunset of life the active old volunteer can be found doing a real day's work among the villace-owned flowers nnrl shrubs.

Russel Sprague, I chairman, that the board was no "grab bag "I am not here for publicity on my own behalf or anyone else," 1 Schmidt remarked. "I am con-i cerned. however, if any more jobs are to be handed out.

There is no necessity for insisting that administration em-! ployes of the relief bureau be college 1 men." In speaking of "men indepen-ently wealthy," Schmidt referred to the recent appointment of the wealthy David Dows as head of the newly created purchasing department. Schmidt's comments brought forth irom Supervisor Sprague a sharp retort. "For your information." said Sprague, "there are no jobs to be handed out. Jobs are. however, requisitioned from time to time and I want to assure you that the greatest discretion is used by this board in the seletcion of personnel and the interest of the taxpayers.

Please remember that jobs are not handed out' that this is no grab baa. The only jobs created are those required in the efficient conduct of public business." BOOM IN RACINd BOATS Bit hop. owner of Bishop Boatyard. Greenport. delivered five nipc class racing boats to East Hampton achfsmcn.
