FIREMEN'S PARADE DATES IN CONFLICT Southern, June 14, Nassau Affair Week Later Too Close, Vamps Say. Rockville Centre, June Kalb, secretary of the Southern New York Volunteer Firemen's Association, stated today that in the future efforts would be made to confer with the Nassau County Volunteer Firemen's Association before either organization decides on the date of three days' convention a and tournament of the former organization and the one day tournament the latter. organization. "Tis year," said Secretary Kalb, "the Southern New York Volunteer Firemen's Association will hold its annual convention and parade at Hammel's Station, Rockaway, June 12, 13 and -14, Nassau tion will hold Its parade and County Volunteer Firemen's are Associatournament at" Port Washington, Wednesday, June 20. The dates being so close, I am afraid, will affect the attendance of both the convention and the parades and tournaments.

"Nassau County." he continued, "draws from Nassau County entirely. The Southern New York Association receives a large share of its support from Nassau County, and so, in my opinion, the time for holding the respective convention and parades and tournaments should be far enough apart so as not to conflict." The decision of the Freeport Fire Department not to take part in the parade of the Southern New York Firemen's convention in Hammel's Station, it is said, is based somewhat 011 the grounds that the Village Board did not think it proper to allow the fire apparatus to go out of the village Nassau on County June 14 and tournament again and at parade in Port Washington on June 20. Secretary Kalb says that the delegates of the Freeport fire companies will attend the Hammel's convention just the same and that there Is no friction between the department and the Southern New York Volunteer Firemen's Association. It had been suggested that the Freeport firemen would not take part in the Southern's two-days' convention because of a feeling that the active firemen's interests are not as fully by the larger organization as those of exempts and others within the protection of the Civil Service regulations. This is an old complaint and has been refuted several times before by the Southern officials who declare that the interests of all firemen, active and exare taken care of at all times.

Secretary Kalb also stated that when the time and place for the next convention of the Southern New York Volunteer Firemen's Association come up in the convention, it will in all probability be referred to a committee, which in turn will get together with a similar committee of the Nassau County Volunteer Firemen's Association and the dates and places for the convention and parades and tournaments of both organizations will be decided so as to not interfere. He also said the short time intervening between two conventions, parades and tournament this year had been complained of by several departments and separate companies in Nassau County. For many years the Southern New York Volunteer Firemen's Association held its annual convention in October, but it was changed to June on account of the weather conditions. Practically since the organization of the Nassau County Volunteer Firemen's Association, the parade and tournament has been held in June or July.

DOCTOR LOSES LEG BY BLOOD TROUBLE W.

B. Savage, E. Islip Phy- sician, Is Recovering, Says Wife East Islip, June William B. Savage, of East Islip, a few days ago directed the amputation of his right leg. Several years ago the member began giving him trouble and was so painful at times that he decided to relieve himself by ordering it cut off.

Since the leg was amputated at the Southside Hospital, Bay Shore, by Dr. Arthur Wright, of Manhattan, Mrs. Savage says that her husband's condition is improving and that he has been' relieved of most of the pain. In explaining the nature of the ailment, Mrs. Savage stated that the trouble was caused by a form of arrested blood circulation in the lower part of the leg.

All sorts of treatments were resorted to without any visible effect. Then came Dr. Savage's decision to have it amputated and he directed the work to proceed at the earliest possible moment. PATCHOGUE PUPILS ARE INOCULATED 500 Children Given theria Treatment. Patchogue, June resumed its war on diphtheria Thursday when a group of nearly 500 children of school age, most of them of the kindergarten stage, were innoculated with toxin antitoxin by Dr.

John W. Bennett, village health officer, at a free clinic held in the high school. The outcome of the first clinic so far exceeded all expectations that several other doctors in the village are to assist the village health officer in the work next week when there is a prospect of an even larger number turning out. The clinic room of the high school was packed to overflowing with children, while many 'mothers were there with small children to take advantage of the opportunty of having the inoculations. The village board last spring authorized the health officer to carry on this work after it had been proven that a free clinic would be the only method of bringing out the entire juvenile population of the village.

Last year about 800-children took the injections. While the village is carrying on this work for the next three weeks in the public schools of the village, the town of Brookhaven is conducting rural a similar campaign among the scholars where Dr. William H. Rose is holding clinics. FLUSHING CHURCHES UNITE Four Congregations Hold First Joint Service July 15.
